Nick and Miranda's story is finally here!! This sweet and funny rom com is the final story in the Anyone But..... series and features the final King brother, Nick, and his high school crush, Miranda. A misunderstanding with a poem has caused them to waste seven years. Now, they are working together and both finding it hard to deny their feelings for each other. Miranda is afraid to be anything but perfect as everyone believes. She's also afraid to trust Nick with her heart again. They prove that it doesn't matter what everyone thinks about you, it's what you think of yourself and what makes you happy.

Lovely ending to the King brothers trilogy. Couldn't wait to complete the series and it ended very well. I found Nick and Miranda's book to be a bit more serious, luckily Cade appeared quite a bit to lighten up some of the story. What happened between Nick and Miranda is what started the King brothers oath between 3 best friends many years ago and gave us these 3 fab books. Absolutely love Penelope Bloom's writing style, she has you laughing and falling in love with her characters.

Miranda and Nick's turn!

I was on the fence about even attempting to read this one, since I have not been Miranda's biggest fan throughout the other brother's books, but overwhelming curiosity won out- and I am so glad it did.
I would have hated to miss out on the walkie talkie throwing, snail theories, rabid bears, slow-burning romancing, and zucchini jousting love fest that is this tale!
Along with getting a behind the perfect scenes look into Miriandas world and how Nick intertwines, lightened my dislike for her, and upped my love the brothers tenfold!
Witty, fun, light drama, sensual tension blasted with plenty of love. ' Anyone But Nick ' is a fantabulous read!

Miranda and her friends Kira and Iris made an oath seven years ago to never date a King brother again. Kira and Rich got back together after seven years when Rich, Cade and Nick moved their billion dollar company Sion to West Valley. All the guys wanted to be back with their girls from West Valley. Iris and Cade got back together. Miranda swears she will keep the oath. Miranda has been dating Robbie but she had no feelings for him. Miranda broke up with him. Miranda was working her way to the top at her job but a couple guys heard that she was gunning for their jobs and next thing she knew she was fired. So within 24 hours she had broken up with her boyfriend and lost her job. Miranda has always wanted everyone to think she was perfect even though she wasn’t. Nick hasn’t talked to Miranda since they moved back to West Valley. He had a bad crush on her in high school. Miranda had a crush on Nick in high school and she still did. Miranda had written a poem for Nick in high school and put it in his locker, she didn’t sign it because she figured he would know who it was from. Nick asked Kira out three days after he received the poem, this started the oath taking with the girls

The third is the charm. I was absolutely charmed by Nick and Miranda, both driven, independant with a goal in mind. But neither realizing that goal is now standing in front of them. You can always count on Cade to spout off weird inappropriate comments at different times which keeps the story lighthearted and endearing. The attraction between them is electric and the end of the story warms my heart. I will miss the King brothers, and Iris with her taser but a happily ever after is wonderful.

Penelope Bloom delivers a great book with an interesting storyline! Miranda and Nick capture the heart and mind of the reader! Sometimes, desperate times call for desperate measures. There are also some really funny moments! Really enjoyable book with just enough steamy scenes, drama, and romance to keep the pages turning! Pick this one up, you will enjoy it! ***I voluntarily read and reviewed this as an ARC***

The third and final book about the King brothers and the whole story line seemed to just run out of steam.  Miranda and friends Kira and Iris made an oath to never date the King brothers seven years ago and Miranda has watched both her friends fall in love despite their oath.  This leaves Miranda wondering about her high school crush, Nick.  
Miranda has hit a tough spot in life and has lost her job and recently broke up with her boyfriend.  Conveniently, the King brothers are looking TM take over the same business that Miranda is interviewing with, and is hired by Nick. 
The whole premise of Miranda’s aversion to Nick stems from a love poem she wrote to him in high school and that just seemed a little weak.  Nothing about this couple really sizzled for me and the side drama with the ex-boyfriend was silly.
I’m a huge Penelope Bloom fan but this one just didn’t do it for me.

Anyone but Nick was funny, emotional, and full of drama. Nick and Miranda went to high school together and had crushes until a bad thing happened and then her and friends made an oath to stay away from all the brothers. Her two friends caved and started dating 7 years later. Upset she lost job and broke up with boyfriend goes to make her feel better. She goes to interview for a new job when Nick is there and he just bought the company. Being her boss can she keep the oath she made or will she cave too. This book was really good could not put it down.

Finally Nick and Miranda get there story and it will have you laughing out loud.  This book gives us a different side of these two serious characters that will capture your heart.  I freely reviewed this book.

A light and fun read in the enemies to lovers/former friends trope, and a great addition to the "Anyone But" series. .
Nick has had feelings for Miranda, so strong that he sacrifices his own happiness. Miranda wants nothing to do with him after she had a crush on him, but he dated her friend instead! After 7 years, they cross paths again and start to clear the air. 

Well written, solid plot, and just plain fun. Definitely recommend. I've enjoyed this entire series.

⭐️ BOOK REVIEW ⭐️
Thanks to @netgalley & @montlakeromance_france for my ARC of Anyone But Nick.
This is the final of the trilogy and it’s by far my favourite. I roared with laughter and loved the story. Cade is still my favourite character 🐌 he’s absolutely nuts but I love him. These are great easy romantic reads. Just fab!! Ending was perfect but I wanted to know a bit more about Max & Robbie.

This is the third book in the Anything but trilogy. Nick and Miranda have had feelings for each other since high school, but a misunderstanding had Nick breaking young Miranda’s heart, so her and her best friends swore an oath to never date a King brother. Both of her best friends have broken the oath but Miranda won’t break hers, Nick has been ignoring her since his return. A twist of fate pushes them together and Nick becomes her boss. Both Nick and Miranda think that it would be best to remain professional but as they say the best laid plans an all. This was a fun read, we got to spend more time with the other King brother’s and Kira and Iris. I am sad to say goodbye to this family, I really enjoyed this series.

Oh the King brothers, what a fun series this was to read.  I loved Nick and Miranda’s story. All the characters together made for great chemistry.  A mystery solved seven years later was a nice touch.  Absolutely loved the ending to this series.  I like that you could put what happened to each couple years later.

Nick is the last of the King brothers to have a second chance at love in this rom com series.  Nick is smart, calm, measured-and lonely.  Miranda has lived her life based on the expectations of others.  She is lonely from trying to live up to her nickname of Miss Perfect.  I love the concept of three brothers falling in love with, losing, and making sure they have another chance to win over these three best friends who have vowed to never date any of them again.  Nick & Miranda find a way to take a chance with each other, despite the obstacles in their way.  Loved seeing the other two couples with their quirks, and the parents who are maturing. A great book to close the series.

I received a copy of this book.  This is my honest opinion, voluntarily provided.

Anyone But Nick is the third book in the Anyone But series, and while it could be read as a stand alone, you’ll get more out of the characters by reading the books in order. Miranda has hated Nick for the past seven years, but now that her life is imploding around her, she has to work under him at her new job. Secrets will try to tear them apart, but what happens when their chemistry finally explodes? Will there be fireworks of love, or a path of destruction?

I was so looking forward to Miranda and Nick’s book since reading the first book in the series, and I’m so happy with how it turned out. The beginning was a lot more angsty than I was expecting, but both Miranda and Nick are smart and stubborn and tried to do the smart and best thing instead of just following their hearts. I loved when the truth came out one drunken night, and how the ending of the book all played out, though! So good! Miranda had such a high reputation and all these expectations set on her, that she didn’t know how to break free of them. I loved watching her bloom into her own person and accept all aspects of herself, the flawed especially. Nick is smart, collected, funny, puts Miranda above his own needs, but isn’t afraid to throw minor wrenches into her perfectionism. I love their banter, how their brain wavelengths match up, and I loved their passion! There’s some crazy drama that happens, but when Nick’s older brother is Cade, I mean... what can you expect? The ending of this book and series was pretty fabulous, too! I really enjoyed reading this book and as always, look forward to more from Ms. Bloom!

Penelope Bloom is an absolute master of romantic comedy!  Her books are sexy, sweet and definitely hilarious!  Anyone But Nick is the 3rd book in this series and I found myself laughing my head off through most of it.  Nick and Miranda have been crushing on each other since high school, but a crazy mistake has kept them apart just as long.  Watching these two work out their feelings for each other with some not very subtle help from friends and relatives is just the funniest thing ever.  As with Ms. Bloom's other series' we get to visit past friends, thankfully, and Cade is still one of the most unique characters she's written...that man is totally goofy and is married to an equally goofy woman...the things he, or rather they, come up with...too funny!  This whole series is just such fun and a must read.  Waiting patiently for whatever Ms. Bloom comes up with next, I'm sure it'll be amazing!  I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

This is the 3rd story in this fun loving series about the King brothers. This story is about Nick and Miranda and we get to finally read their story with being teased along the way in Cade and Rich’s stories. With a misunderstanding happening 7 years ago we have the three friends who start the oath to never date or give a King brother the time of day. Now with two of the girls happily married Miranda is trying to hold onto to their oath. Nick is one special man who sees exactly what Miranda needs and puts his needs second and makes all the right moves for Miranda. There is a seriousness about these two thinkers and once Miranda stops thinking and feeling does she really see Nick for who he is. When an ex boyfriend tries to create problems for them the way Nick and Miranda handle it is just right. The journey these two take is full of hilarious and funny moments and you just have to love Cade and his son Bear!  I really enjoyed this series and hope to see a new one with the same fun, bantering and overcoming struggles for love. I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book.
