The Anti-Boyfriend by Penelope Ward RELEASE DAY @PenelopeAuthor @GiveMeBooksPR #contemporaryromance #romancereads #bookrelease #newbook



RELEASE BLITZ

Title: The Anti-Boyfriend
Author: Penelope Ward
Genre: Standalone Contemporary Romance
Release Date: August 31, 2020

BLURB

From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.

At first, my neighbor Deacon frustrated me.

Sure, he was great-looking and friendly.

But our walls were thin, and on occasion, he’d bring women to his place and keep me awake while he “entertained” them.

As a single mother to an infant, I didn’t appreciate it.

So, finally it was my turn.

When my daughter wouldn’t stop wailing one night, Mr. Manwhore came knocking on my door.

Miraculously, at the sound of his voice, Sunny stopped crying. And when he held her…she eventually fell asleep in his arms.

Deacon was rough on the exterior, but apparently on the inside? Mr. Single-and-Ready-to-Mingle was a baby whisperer.

After that night, we became friends.

He’d go for coffee runs. Come over to chat. Normal friend stuff.

But over time, our conversations ran deeper. We got closer.

Until one night we crossed the line.

Our friendship turned into a complicated mess.

I’d gone and fallen for a guy who’d sworn off commitment and kids.

I knew Deacon was starting to care for me too, even though Sunny and I didn’t fit into any plan he’d ever imagined for himself.

He was wrong for me—so wrong that I’d dubbed him the “anti-boyfriend.”

Then why did I wish more than anything that I could be the one woman to change him?

Milo and Nala are 2 today! #rescuecats #fosterfail #caturday

 Happy birthday, Milo and Nala!

http://carlakrae.blogspot.com/2018/09/did-you-know-i-do-cat-rescue-tnr.html

My intro post

Milo had to be taken to the vet at six weeks old for a respiratory infection. Cats don't eat if they can't smell food and he would've died if I followed the cheap clinic idiot's advice. Now, he's a healthy 8lb boy.

Milo is black and tan like his big brother Lowen and they get along quite well now. Lowen teaches him how to better hunt bugs! They also play tag since they both love to run. Once Milo gets a little tired, then he's my lap kitty, though he also loves to be rubbed by my slippers when I'm standing.

Nala is a sweetheart, but fearful of men, so I'm still working on her. Because she loves me and no one else, she wasn't adopted out. She's beautiful, though, lithe and leggy and very soft. Also has a goofy side.

Both Milo and Nala have unique eyes - their irises are a ring of green around the black pupil with a ring of yellow around the green on the outside. Depending on light, their eye color changes a lot. Only cats I've ever seen with irises like this.

Birthday kitties always get extra treats and belly rubs. :)
