I think majority of us has that moment...that moment where you are staring at the person you love and don’t know what to say. You want to admit your feelings but at the same time, afraid of the unknown and how it will be reciprocated. And in Gentleman Nine, Penelope Ward captures these emotional sentiments in such a heartfelt, real, and palpable manner. How can two friends who never had the right timing get their shot at their moment of what if this moment is their time? Their shot at happily ever after?
Since I don’t want to ruin and spoil Gentleman Nine, I will just say this book was about letting go and taking a chance. Yes, it falls in the trope of friends to lovers but this book is so much more. It is about a connection that joins two hearts as they let their guards down. A wild love that doesn’t slow down. It is about being in the moment and having the beating of hearts be the only sound. And so what happens when Amber and Channings’ new relationship is put to the test when a past comes knocking back in? Can their newfound connection last?
Gentleman Nine is a sweet, raw, and tangible love story that showcases Penelope Ward’s beautiful writing. With her charismatic characters, readers like myself can relate to the sexual tension and budding attraction. A must read for readers who are fans of friends to lovers.

I loved Gentleman Nine. Right from the start I was #TEAMCHANNING and stayed loyal only to Channing throughout the whole story. Channing was captivating, I just couldn’t let him go no matter what I did. He may have been a playboy at sometime in his life, but when it came to Channing everything had a reason. Everything he did was calculated, until he was given a chance to be with childhood friend Amber. When he offered Amber something she hopefully wouldn’t refuse, Channing was the happiness he could ever be. She was always light to his darkness and he would’ve given everything to have a chance with her. He thought being together for pleasure was going to be enough, but he was wrong. He missed calculated the outcome of his no strings attached relationship with Amber. She was the greatest person he had ever known and there was no way sex between them would just be sex. They were everything to each other. Until someone got in the way.
Channing and Amber were sexy as hell. I love their relationship as kids, even if they were too naive to know how each other felt. Amber was young and innocent and Channing lost his chance for the sake of friendship. Their Saturday no strings attached meet-up were not only sexy but sweet. Anyone in their right mind knew that these two belonged together, no matter how much they ignored their real feelings for each other. The story of childhood friends second chance romance, is a beautiful story. I loved it from beginning to end.
