This is a great read in the Anyone but series about the King brothers.
Miranda has hated Nick King for the last 7 years but it looks like she may be working for him now.
I loved their chemistry and the fun times they have together but someone is trying to come between them.
Will they get their HEA?

The final book in this series was just as funny as the first 2. We finally hear the details of why Miranda swore the oath against the king Brothers with Iris and Kira 7 years ago. Cade is also a big part of the laughs in this book, because let’s face it his juvenile antics are unstoppable even if the story doesn’t center around him. Miranda really comes into herself during this book finally living for herself instead of to live up to everyone else’s expectations. There is the added drama of Miranda’s ex and his vindictive ways. I’m sorry to see this series be over.

Anyone But Nick is the final book in Penelope Bloom’s Anyone But series, and is essentially a second chance romance between Nick and Miranda. The story has fun, flirty and serious moments too, but I still felt there could have been more. I did enjoy this story, but it wasn’t my favourite of the series.

This is the third book in this series. Nick is the youngest brother and pretty much the brainiest guy in the family. He broke Miranda's heart in high school and she has focused on her career moving up in the company until she gets fired, completely throwing her off kilter. She gets an interview with a different company, one quite a lot different than her old position. As she goes in to the meeting, she comes face to face with of all people, Nick, the new owner of the company. There are some hilarious incidents that happen between these two as well as the other two couples from the series. I really loved this series.

This is Nick and Miranda’s story. This is a second chance read with lots of steam! They are a young couple that went their separate ways only to find themselves together again years later. You won’t want this book to end.

Anyone But Nick......This is Nick King and Miranda story. After seven years of crushing on Nick Miranda feels she can move on. Ice queen as she is known as always professional and as Cade puts it a stick up her butt. The batter the snail analogies and so forth have you laughing at the absurdity of the situation that arises. Nick has an awakening when he finally realizes that he can't live without Miranda. And the craziness begins......I absolutely loved this story. The storyline was so interesting that it completely captivated me and was so intriguing that I couldn’t stop reading it until I finished with the very last word. I definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for an amazing book. Enjoy happy reading 📚

This is the third and final book in the Anyone But series and can be read as a standalone. New readers to this series may find the narrative cute as it is full of sassy, off-the-cuff humor and steamy scenes. Bloom’s writing flows easily and her characters are witty with tangible qualities. However, those more acquainted with Bloom’s writing may not be as impressed. It appears Bloom has utilized stock characters across multiple series with emphasis on specific personality traits. The familiarity of writing provides almost indistinguishable storylines and gives a lackluster appeal to her work. 2 stars.

Thank you to #NetGalley for the ARC which was read and reviewed voluntarily.

Penelope Bloom writes this book with wit and a lot of humor. Main characters are high school classmates Nick and Miranda. Nick’s twin brothers, Cade and Rich, And Miranda’s best friends Iris and Kira. The brothers are all billionaires and returned to the hometown, after making their billions, settled down and married, Cade and Iris, Rich and Kira and eventually Nick and Miranda. Because of a misunderstanding in high school about a poem written by Miranda to Nick, who mistakenly thought it was from Kira, it took about half the book before these two figured it out and hooked up. Cade is the clown, never really acting like a grown-up, a little much to take. Rich is the opposite and very calm and likable. Of course Nick is perfect and so is Miranda. Nick eventually admits his feeling for Miranda and the chase is on. I’d rate this book 4 stars. Dragged a bit,

4.5-Stars for another Penelope Bloom witty read!
I have been a fan of several Penelope Bloom series but am still amazed her tales are never lacking. I actually didn't read the first two books in the series, but after reading Anyone but Nick, I am definitely going back and reading them. I found Nick to be endearing in a sweet but funny way but even more than that he seems to keep Miranda on her toes and they are definitely a 'circle fitting in a circle hole' kinda way, read the story & you'll understand the comment. I don't like to give too much of the story away in my review, but I can guarantee this is one witty, banter filled, fun read that goes by way too quickly. I can't wait to see what the next Penelope Bloom series brings, but wish there were more King brothers to add to this series. Unfortunately, that isn't likely with this 'snail tale' & don't take that to mean it's a slow read because it's anything but that. 100% recommend Anyone But Nick, Book 3 in the Anything But series.
While I did receive an advance copy from the author via NetGalley, I am voluntarily leaving my own opinion with this voluntary, unsolicited review.

A Fun Read

I enjoyed this story. This is the last book in this series and is the story of Nick and Miranda's journey to a HEA. This is a funny, quirky, light-hearted read. The character's in this book are really likeable and charming, and the character's from the previous two novels also appear. The epilogue in particular is lovely as it concludes and updates the trilogy, rounding up the series so nicely. An excellent contemporary second-chance rom-com.

This is the 3rd book in the series but it can be read as a stand-alone. Nick and Miranda have known each other since high school when they each had feeling for the other but were a bit scared because of them. Lately, things haven’t being going so well for Miranda, she broke up with her boyfriend and lost her job. She ends up applying for a new one not knowing Nick and his brothers owned it. Soon sparks are flying between them but will Miranda’s unhappy ex get in their way? Fast-paced read with loads of drama and steam. I liked it.

I enjoyed this series. Nick and Miranda finally sort out their misunderstandings. Cade pops up at every turn just to offer his wacked out advice and to add a touch of total nonsense to the story (I still feel that he is a very shallow William Chamberson). There are a couple of plot holes that didn't make sense to me but the story is entertaining enough to keep me reading. The story comes complete with a five year jump epilogue - which is always a plus in my book.

Grab it and enjoy.

Ruthie – ☆☆☆☆
This is the third book in the series, and I would recommend that you read them in order to get the full story. Three brothers return to their childhood town and the three now grown women who vowed to never have anything to do with them are still there. We have seen two fall already, but now the most put together, Miranda, is the one who has to resist the charms of Nick.

In the beginning Nick really doesn't seem to have any charm at all, and he has no interest at all in copying his brothers into a serious relationship – or indeed any relationship. Miranda too is far too invested in restoring her good career record and even if that means being VP to Nick's CEO, she will do it. It is very entertaining as we watch on, knowing that somehow Penelope Bloom is going to get this whole situation resolved, however hard they fight it.

It was really good to see how the two couples are progressing in their lives, and we finally get to discover the reason why the oath was sworn in the first place. I loved how the situation went full circle by the end – it was immensely satisfying and left me thinking I would definitely reread this trilogy, and all in one go, to get the whole story in one go.

I picked up this book to review because I had read other books by this author, but I didn’t realize this particular book was the third in a series. I am however very happy I read this book even if it was out of order. I didn’t feel lost or at all like I missed anything. I loved the character in this book. Cade being my favorite. He is such a goofball, but wise at the same time. I will certainly never look at a snail the same way again. I also agree with Miranda, love is worth searching your whole life to find.
Miranda and Nick were fun characters. The hints that each one dropped about having this person that they once knew who drove them to do certain things. In Nick’s case learn to ride a horse. I loved that he also begged Miranda not to tell his brothers because he knew they would tease him relentlessly.

I think this was my favorite book in the series so far. I love Miranda and Nick. They are so much alike. I love that she is independent but understands her need to be perfect is just becoming to much. The put together Miranda life if coming apart from the seams. Nick, dates a woman once and just stops cold turkey. He is tired of his parents pushing women his way. As we know already, he parents opinion means nothing. SION is looking to take over a company that deals in dogs. Nick wants to do more than just take over. Miranda is looking for a new start. Then we have the ever noise Cade trying to play a crazy match maker.. As I stated, this is my favorite book in this series.

A great sweet n sexy story! This is the latest story about a King brother, Nick. Miranda had a crush on Nick in high school. Due to a mistake, Nick asked out Miranda’s friend Kira. Miranda and her friends made a pact to ignore the King brothers, but that pact fell apart, one woman at a time. Awesome characters, amazing chemistry, drama, humor, sweetness, sexiness, enemies to lovers, falling in love, and a HEA.

This book I really enjoyed. These two characters had a past from misunderstandings, then things changed. I have never laughed so much with Cade making the jokes he did to these two. Great job! Recommend to read
