Such a cute story. Really loved the interaction between the brothers. I am a huge fan of Penelope and I love how she combines comedy, drama and love in her stories along with the steaminess :) Loved it!

Meh not really for me. I haven't read the rest of the series though, maybe I needed to read the others before!

Not really for me. It was a diversion, and I read it to the end. But I didn't really gel with it. Maybe because it's series and I haven't read the others?

This is the last book in the Anyone series that is set
around the King Brothers.
To get the true feeling for Nick and Miranda story I would recommend
reading the other two books.
The chemistry between the characters is interesting and has body to them.
I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book via NetGalley.

Melinda and Nick have each had feelings for each other for many years but she was determined to keep her oath with her friends and not pursue him. Circumstances pushed them together and neither could resist.

This is a fun series about three friends who really are there for one another. Melinda is the last of them to keep their oath. She really tries to hold out but her life starts to fall apart and he is there for her.

I felt it was a good end to the series. Melinda and Nick have great chemistry and work well as a couple. I was happy to see them get their happily ever after.

I am voluntarily reviewing a copy I received.

This is the third installment in the Anyone But trilogy. These King brothers are something else, I am really enjoying their stories. I am sad to see this trilogy come to an end. Anyone But Nick is my favorite of the trilogy. This book had me laughing.

Nick and Miranda are finally getting their chance. She was holding strong to the oath she made with her best friends. When they met in high school Nick and Miranda connected and never really moved on. Now that he is back she is having a hard time sticking to the oath to never date a King brother.

This trilogy was so much fun to read.

Ahhh the twenties,I don’t mean the decade itself. I mean that time of discovery when young women wade through that tumble of male encounters that stamp their beliefs one way or another. If you are lucky these friendships push through the years as you develop and learn hopefully not too late what you need in a relationship and who you don’t see yourself loving. That is the premise here as four. Become eight in a back and forth dialogue with each primary character comes to his or her revelation on a mate suited to their needs and capable of providing what they want. Miranda steadfast in her resolve to leave Nick alone and Nick who takes his time to see what everyone else knows are the catalysts of this story. Their lengthy voyage to each other is heartfelt and eye opening. Happy reading

I really enjoyed this story, from the actual contents to the characters, I won't say more asbo don't like to give out spoilers, just that it was good.

Nick and Miranda were a great way to end the series.

I really enjoyed the Anyone but series. 3 brothers left small town America with their sites set on big prizes. After making millions, they find themselves being pulled back home. Each brother left a girl in their dust and each wants to make amends.

Nick and Miranda have a great second chance story. Lots of angst and tension leads to big payoffs, 4 solid stars.

Anyone But Nick is the 3rd and final installment in the Anyone But series which focuses on 3 brothers and their life upon returning to their hometown and the girls they left behind. I've loved the series but I felt this book fell a little short of my expectations. I don't know if it was just my mood or what but I found I wasn't too bothered about this one. This book is Nick and Mirandas story and up untill now Miranda has been strong and moody, I felt like this book was focused on a totally different person. I found the story line OK and the best bits were Cade as usual. He definitely gives some very good comedy moments to the story. I did however enjoy the epilogue which tied the series together. Sadly this one did not live up to my expectations but was an OK read.

Have mixed feelings about this book. At times I found myself wincing at moments that go a touch too far, humor that felt immature, but my curiosity held and I still wanted to keep reading. The writing flows well and is entertaining, so I would say read it went you're in for a fun read without delving too deep.

I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Anyone But Nick is the third book in Penelope Bloom's Anyone But... series. I have been waiting for this one since the first book and it did not disappoint! I love that the three brothers' stories are with the three best friends. If you are looking for a quick romance series, look no further!

Book 3 in the Anyone But series. Very enjoyable read. A great second chance romance for Nick and Miranda. Great chemistry and attraction between the characters. Loved the epilogue. Great way to end the series.

I received an ARC of this book from NetGalley and I am voluntarily leaving an honest review.

Yeah, it worth the read! I oath it!

Bahahaha!

Penelope Bloom has me worried. I have to admit that Cade is my favorite brother but only because he entertains me to the point of almost peeing myself. I wasn't sure she'd be able to top Anyone But Cade and now I know she chose the right path.

Anyone But Nick has all the fun, funny, and crazy of the previous Anyone novels with even more loved up romance and scorn. I oath it! Lol. Trust my crazy. Enjoy the weird. Love the snails.

When expectations over ride common sense and your ability to handle the unexpected... Nick and Miranda's story is funny, sexy and full of moments that just make you re-think your own reality.

ANYONE BUT NICK is the third and final instalment in Penelope Bloom’s contemporary, adult ANYONE BUT… romance series focusing on the King brothers: twins Rich and Cade, and younger brother Nick. This is billionaire businessman Nick King, and Miranda Collins’ story line. ANYONE BUT NICK can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous instalments is revealed where necessary.


SOME BACKGROUND: Seven years earlier high school friends Miranda, Kira and Iris made a promise to never date the King brothers in response to heartbreak, secret and lies that spiralled out of control. Fast forward to present day wherein the King brothers have returned to their hometown of West Valley, North Carolina in an effort to upstart a new division in their billion dollar high tech industry.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Nick and Miranda) ANYONE BUT NICK follows the enemies to friends relationship between billionaire businessman Nick King, and Miranda Collins. In high school, Miranda Collins had been secretly in love with Nick King but our hero mistakenly thought that an anonymous poem written by Miranda was written by her friend Kira, and made a play for someone else. Fast forward to present day wherein Miranda is at a crossroads in both her personal and professional life finds herself the new vice-president of the King brother’s latest business acquisition. Working for Nick King means up close and personal with the man that destroyed her heart, a man who had been secretly in love with our heroine, in return. What ensues is the tempestuous but building relationship and romance between Nick and Miranda, and the potential fall-out as Miranda’s past comes looking for a second chance by taking aim at the King family dynasty.

Miranda Collins has a love-hate relationship with Nicholas King, a relationship destroyed by a case of mistaken belief, and a perception of unrequited love. Working directly under our story line hero forces all of the old feelings front and center, especially when Nick organizes a employee weekend, that is about to pull the couple into a potential disaster that will quickly get out of control. Nick wants Miranda Collins, and making a play for his new vice-president means admitting his heart has always wanted our story line heroine but the yin and yang of their personal relationship is fraught with sexual tension and barely controlled tension and anxiety. The $ex scenes are passionate and intimate without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

The secondary and supporting characters are colorful and fun. Reporter Max Frost is looking for some dirt on the King Brother’s empire. We are reintroduced to Nick’s twin brothers Rich and his wife Kira; Cade and Iris, and Cade’s son Bear; as well as their parents Harper and Edna King. Miranda’s ex boyfriend Robbie is determined to pull Miranda back into his life even if it means using every game necessary to destroy the man with whom she has fallen in love.

ANYONE BUT NICK is a story of family and friendships; betrayal and revenge. The premise is fast paced and entertaining; the romance is seductive and captivating; the characters are energetic, and real-the witty banter and child-like humor of Cade King is alone, worth the price of admission to Anyone But Nick.

The final oath with the final brother. Though we have a pretty good idea that she'll fold it's really more fun to see how, when and what lengths he will go to. Like all of Penelope's books, this is perfect escapism with laughter and sexiness. She never disappoints and this one is no exception. This series makes me wish for more King brothers to break but I'm sure she's already on to my next book crush.

This is the final book in this trilogy and finally Nick and Miranda get together. This is an enemies to lovers. Nick is the studious one and with the acquiring of the newest company one of the first interviews is for vice president and it turns out to be Miranda. Oh, this got interesting real fast. What started as a misunderstanding back in high school and vowing to hate the King brothers forever, her friends have given up and are with the other two brothers and Miranda is the only one holding out...but for how long. These two have such chemistry and when they are together there is something in the air and they banter back and forth until they finally figure out there is more heat behind the banter. This one was so good and wrapped up the trilogy wonderfully!

And that concludes the series with Miranda and Nick's story. I wasn't sure how I was going to like this one because I already wasn't a huge fan of Miranda. But she's so different in this one than what we've seen in the previous books.

Cade is still hilarious as ever and rather obnoxious, but I loved all the coupling interactions. Definitely hilarious at times.

I was hoping for more on the romance and them just navigating being together. With these two having a lot of history and been crushing on each other since high school, I just craved more.

I'm definitely a fan of Penelope's writing, but this series was ok to me. I'm looking forward to reading her other books.

Absolutely loved this, have enjoyed each book in this series and I’m sad to see them come to a close and what a book for Miranda and Nick, it’s so sweet, funny and full of chemistry. I loved returning to the characters and look forward to reading more from Penelope as these three books were my first by Ms. bloom but won’t be my last. Addictive page turner of a book, highly recommended
