I loved the whole concept of this story. Kira and Rich where funny and very likable characters.

This is my first Penelope Bloom book and her writing style just isn't for me.

This was a fun little second chance romance. The whole series is second chance, and I'm looking forward to the rest.
I love when the hero is head over heels for the heroine and that is not the source of any drama or conflict, so I really liked Rich.
The story is light on conflict and angst, and the characters do a good job of talking out any misunderstandings before they can snowball, which I appreciate. I did find the male characters a bit juvenile at times, but I'm hoping when it comes to their stories they've grown up a bit. I also wondered how the hell these guys became billionaires when they don't seem to do any real work. All told, this was a cute, lighthearted read.

I found this book to be kind of boring and dragged. I skimmed most of it to see if it got better for me. It never did. I have no connection to the characters at all.

Loved this book!! Such a good finding home book. Definitely a Sumer must read!! Love, friends and life all in one place.

I have just started reading books by Ms. Bloom and she is fast becoming one of my must read authors. Anyone But Rich is about Rich and Kira. They went to high school together, Rich King and his brothers Cade and Nick were very well known due to their parents wealth and their good looks. Kira and her two best friends Iris and Miranda like all the other girls in school crushed on the King brothers. During Rich's senior year him and Kira had a huge falling out and ever since Rich has felt the need to apologize to Kira for his high school behavior. Kira and her best friends decided they would make a pact to never date any of the King brothers in high school as well.

Seven years later Rich and his brother left their small town of West Valley and became Billionaires. Rich and his brothers decide they want to make their corporate head quarters in West Valley. They also came back because there are three girls (Kira, Iris and Miranda) that they want to make amends with. Rich especially feels the need to apologize to Kira.

I loved Rich and Kira and the romancing Rich used. The supporting characters, the king brothers, Iris and Melinada was full on hilarious with their banter. I really hope Cade and Nicks story will follow soon.

I received an advanced copy for an honest review.

This is Rich and Kira book, Kira is a school teacher and Rich is mega rich billionaire lol they grew up together and Rich and his brothers got out of their small town! Seven years earlier Kira and her best friends made a pact to never date one of the king brothers! Well guess who just flew into town on their private jet?! Yep the king brothers! And quite a few of them have an eye open for the three best friends they grew up with!! This book was funny had some exciting moments and a few way out there moments too lol some parts were far fetched but it was still really funny and an enjoyable read! I definitely recommend reading this one! Thank you Netgalley and the publishers for sharing this book with me!

This is my first time reading this author and I did not love this story. I actually really liked the main characters Kira and Rich but their parents really destroyed this book for me. It is very Romeo and Juliet but it was too much so both sets of parents were horrible. And just awful, discusting and I absolutely hated them and their actions and I did not understand it at all.

As to the promise to stay away from Rich, I did not like Kira's best friends either. The whole promise was ridiculous. All three girls like the three boys and they agree to never date the three boys they have crushes on, it was ridiculous. Even if they were teens at the time. Then 7 years later, they say its him or us, and this is a guy that can make her happ. It made no sense whatsoever.

That said the writing was pretty good. No typos and it was a fast read. And I did like Rich a lot and Kira. I even liked Stella a lot as well.
