Fun and easy read with great characters!


Cade is one of those people that are always fun to be around! He is someone that can turn the most innocuous sentences into a joke or sexual innuendo, and he does it in such a deadpan way that you don’t know he’s kidding until you process what he said, and it will turn out to be something hilarious.
Cade dated Iris in high school until his irresponsibility and thoughtlessness got to be too much for her. He unintentionally did something stupid that she paid ...more

I really enjoyed this second chance romance. I loved the main author Cade. He is very charming. I liked this this book was not like typical second change story. You start to get invested in the relationship between Cade and Iris. You also start to really like Bear ( Cades son) who brings Cade and Iris back together.
This book gives me the feels and i think anyone who want to read it will think its very cute.

Anyone but Cade was hilariously funny! Cade is a true character. It’s difficult taking him seriously - especially with the weird things that come out of his mouth. Sometimes it’s so stupid it just kinda made sense (if you really think hard about it).
Seriously, Cade had me laughing out loud so much of the time...but even being the goof 1000% of the time, it’s clear as day he has a good, kind heart. It takes a special person to really “get him” and that person was Iris. She understood him on a le ...more

Anyone But Cade by Penelope Bloom is book Two in the Anyone But...Series. This is the story of Cade and Iris. I have read the previous books which did add to my enjoyment of this one but I do feel you could make this a standalone book if you wish to do so.
Cade left his home town along with his brothers but now he is back and learns of a child he didn't now existed. Iris and Cade were young together and of course had feeling for one another but then Cade up and left town. Now Iris and her friend ...more

This is the second installment in this series and is about Cade, the other twin, and Iris, the girl from high school who now hates him and carries a gun for a living. Yea, she is a police officer in town. This starts off with Cade getting drunk and Iris ends up arresting him for punching a jukebox. Just perfect. These two are perfect together. They have a banter that is witty and sexy and once they cross that line there is no turning back. Add in the 5 year old Cade didn't realize he has but now

This is the first book by this author that I have read and I liked it. Quick, fun read. Second chance romance about Cade and Iris.

Fast forward 7 years later, Cade has to come back to town because he finds out that he is a father to a little boy. He turns to Iris for help and she agrees. This helps them grow closer and for him to show that he has changed.

review of another edition
Another great instalment to this series, I loved the first book Anyone but Rich and this is just as good as the first book. We return to familiar characters and this time to Cade and Iris’s story, full of chemistry and humour, the kind of book that’s an easy read but very addictive too. It’s fun and flirty and can’t wait for the next I’m assuming anyone but nick ! A great read.

After Cade King cost me everything, I vowed I’d never fall for him again—even if he became rich and megafamous.

Now Cade is back with his billion-dollar company…and his ability to radiate attraction like a tempting Wi-Fi hotspot. Not to mention his tendency to have worse impulse control than a chimpanzee.

I was so excited to get this book. I had fell in love with the King brothers from the very first book Anyone but Rich and I liked Cade in that one, I liked Iris too so I was anxious for this book. I did enjoy it, however since I had cracked up at Cade's antics in the previous books, I was expecting more from him in this one. Please do not misunderstand and think I didn't like it, I totally did but again I was expecting more..I liked Iris but more in the first book, she wasn't as funny in this on

I had a bit of mixed feelings with
Anything But Cade
, but I still enjoyed this quite a bit! Cade is such a jokester it was tough to take him seriously at times. But I loved how endearing he was when his son, Bear, came into his life. I'd say it was probably one of the best things that happened to him.

This is the second book in the series and I would recommend that you read Rich's story first, as it sets the scene, and gives you some background and insight into the men's childhood and meteoric rise. Oh my their parents were and are just horrible!

“Is it weird that I just want to curl up in a ball, roll downhill at full speed, and then take out his legs?”
After reading Anyone But Rich I was really looking forward to reading Cade and Iris's story due to their witty banter and I wasn't disappointed. The pair had me chuckling at their comments but it was mainly Cade that had the banter this time. I wish we'd had a bit more of Iris's sharp wit that we saw in the first book.

This is the second story in this series. I LOVED it. We get to dive into Cade and Iris from the beginning, through memories. Iris is now a police officer with the local department and gets to legally carry a gun and night stick that she threatens to use on the ever goofy Cade on more than one occasion.
I spent a lot of time giggling at this story, and highly recommend you get Anyone But Rich and devour it before diving into this book, just to spend time with these characters. I am looking forwar ...more

I hesitated after reading book 1 in this series to dive into book 2 but, I really enjoyed this one more. I liked Cade and Iris together and liked the spin on the second chance romance. It was a fun, easy read and kids always make me enjoy the story just a little more.

Anyone But Cade by Penelope Bloom a five-star read that will make you Bloom. This is number two in the Anyone But series and it goes from strength to strength, its warm and funny and will surprise you in the best ways possible. This has it all, romance, spice, funny in spades as well as heart warming and honest, it really does have it all. Cade King has always been the class clown, the one people think won’t grow up, won’t be serious like his brothers, but that may just be that those who think t

I was not able to connect with this story. It's my first by this author, and I know she is popular, so I am sure I will try another title by her, but this one wasn't a winner for me.

I heart Penelope Bloom. She writes the funniest sexy-romantic books... Honestly, if you're ever in a slump, reading or otherwise, just pick up one of her Objects of Attraction series and a smile and a laugh is in short order.
Anyone But Cade is the 2nd installment in the Anyone but... series and I am so bummed I haven't caught the first one Anyone But Rich yet. Anywho... Cade is hilarious. He is like watching a mischevious puppy romp around.
