Loved reading the fabulous and fantastic second book in the series.  When Cade brings Iris over to meet his son, Bear, Iris sees that Cade needs help in being a father and offers to help out for a month.
Iris tries not to fall for Cade again but his charm and humor is hard to resist.  Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a must read love story.  Can't wait to read the next book in the series!
I reviewed a book through NetGalley.

Anyone But Cade is the second book to the 'Anyone But..' series by Penelope Bloom. It follows after the first book, "Anyone but Rich' and this book focuses on Rich's brother, Cade and his story. 

Seven years ago Cade and Iris were dating in High School but because of  Cade’s actions and impulsive tendencies, they break up. Iris, along with her other two best friends make a pact that they vow to keep but surprise! Seven years later, Cade along with his two brothers are back and Iris does everything to avoid Cade. Cade however gets himself into a thing and gets Iris involved.

Cade is a wise cracker, impulsive, full of jokes, caring but man, boy is an idiot at most times but Iris and him pare so well together as she is also silly and goofy. This book felt a lot lighter and less intense relationship than the first book and made me chuckle a few times. 

Overall this book is sexy, funny, interesting and not your typical soft romance and did not disappoint!

A worthy addition to the series, that had more laugh-out loud moments than its predecessor, but that isn't surprising given this book is about Cade. 

Add a policewoman with a serious attachment to her nightstick, a guy who has always carried a torch and fantasises about being frisked and a very large amount of sudden unexpected responsibility and you've got a funny and sweet story strong with friendship, family and romance.

As a side-note, someone needs to do something about the King brothers parents. Seriously.

I received a copy of this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Oh my gosh, I swear Penelope Bloom is one of the best writers of romantic comedy out there and if I’m honest I’m more of a gritty MC girl, but her books...can’t put them down! I’ve been waiting for Cade and Iris’ book since we met them in Rich’s book, just knew they’d be fabulous and I was oh so correct! Cade and Iris had a relationship in high school that went south because...well basically because Cade is an idiot! Oh don’t get me wrong, he’s sweet and funny and caring, but he’s an idiot who does and says whatever pops in his head, whether it’s smart or not and usually it’s not! He and Iris are perfect for each other, she’s almost, but not quite, as goofy as he is. Fortunately for their relationship she is mature enough to be the grown up and voice of reason most of the time. This book has laugh out loud humor, crazy friends and relatives, a precious 5 year old named Bear and a horrible set of parents that I am rooting to be kicked to the curb in the next book...if they’re not I may just have to imagine they are for my own sanity! Oh and we also had a cameo from Grammy! If you don’t know her you need to read The Objects of Attraction Series...so hilarious and so worth the time...that old woman is a trip! Thanks for the fabulous read Ms. Bloom, can’t wait for Nick’s book!

After Cade King cost me everything, I vowed I’d never fall for him againeven if he became rich and megafamous.When I started reading I couldn't put it down.Penelope Bloom is magnifysent and amazing writer.I cannot wait to read more of there books.Keep up the great work.You should definitely read this book.Can't wait for the next book.

I was so excited to get this book. I had fell in love with the King brothers from the very first book Anyone but Rich and I liked Cade in that one, I liked Iris too so I was anxious for this book. I did enjoy it, however since I had cracked up at Cade's antics in the previous books, I was expecting more from him in this one. Please do not misunderstand and think I didn't like it, I totally did but again I was expecting more..I liked Iris but more in the first book, she wasn't as funny in this one and at times she just annoyed me- I don't think I like Miranda she is just too closed minded and too stuck up, I am hoping she can redeem herself in time for her and Nick's story..Anywhoo loved Bear, cute adorable funny kid. Wish I had more Rich and Kira-her I loved..Enjoy!

This was the 2nd book in the series. I liked the first one and this was just as good. Looking forward to reading the third. Thanks to netgalley for the ARC!

Thank you netgalley for providing this ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Unfortunately I wasn't impressed with this novel. Cade and Iris were high school sweethearts who broke up due Cade's immaturity. seven years later, he's now a billionaire with a kid and he still acts like a teenager. Iris becomes a sheriff still fighting her feelings for him and of course offers to help him with his son who's a little smartass. The banter was entertaining but a bit overdone. Just not what I expected from this author.

Anyone but Cade💕

Book two in the Anyone series by Penelope Bloom is finally here and it was a great book, with great characters and a great storyline with a few twists and turns❣️

Seven years ago Cade and Iris were dating in High School but due to Cade’s actions, they break up.  Iris, along with Miranda and Kira meet to make a pact that they vow to keep. Now, seven years later, the Kings are back in their small home town and Iris has done everything possible to avoid Cade. Cade however gets some news that sends him into a tailspin and indirectly gets Iris involved. 

Cade certainly grew on me with his comebacks and I have to admit there were a few times I was cackling away with his antics😂 Loved the ending and super excited to see what happens for Nik next🥳

Penelope Bloom is one of my favourite authors and her stories should not be missed. I was lucky enough to receive an advanced copy of Anyone but Cade via Netgalley, and want to thank Montlake and Penelope for the chance to review for this series and voluntarily leave my honest review😁

This is Cade and Iris book, this is book two in the anything but series! Iris And her friends swore and made a Vow to never fall for any of the king men Even if they became rich and mega famous! Now Cade King is back with his billion dollar company and his gorgeous good looks! Unfortunately his impulse control is worse than a toddler! So when Iris arrests him for disorderly conduct she definitely enjoyed herself! But now Cade has a little someone to take care of and he asks for my help! I think they’re both turning my heart of stone into mush lol  I definitely enjoyed reading this one! This book and the whole series was definitely worth reading! I loved bear the little boy in the story he was a trip! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

I was so excited to read “Anyone But Cade” and continue on with this series, which I love! This book did not disappoint in the slightest. The banter and humor between Cade and Iris has me laughing and swooning until the very end. 

I can’t wait to dive into the story of Nick and Miranda in the next “Anyone But” book and see what kind of trouble the King brothers get into. 

Special thanks to NetGalley, Penelope Bloom and Montlake Romance Kindle Edition for gifting me this this ARC.

The pact against the Kinds boys is back. This time get Iris-, the bad ass female cope, attempting to steer clear of Cade, the childish playboy. But seriously, Iris is as big of a goober as Cade and they are meant to be. Now, getting to that meant to be is rather difficult with Iris and her pact, oh and the fact that Cade parades women around like a dog and pony show. But he does have something to show for it- 5 years in the making- so now how can Iris manage it and Cade. 

This book was fun, silly, and romantic. These King guys are hot and sexy and totally irresistible. Miranda and Nick will be great! .
