Review Tour – The Surrogate, Penelope Ward
March 1, 2024 | Posted in Blog Tour | By Two Book Pushers
The Surrogate is Penelope Ward’s newest epic romance. If you read The Aristocrat then you have met Sigmund, Leo’s cousin. If you follow my reviews then you might know that I don’t read blurbs unless it’s a new-to-me author until I need to write the review (don’t want those spoilers) so I actually didn’t even know it was going to be his story. Once I discovered that it was it, I was obsessed. And the obsession just grew and grew from there. The blurb is perfection so I don’t want to get too much into the storyline.
Abby and Sig’s relationship is complicated times ten but from the meet-cute, I knew it was going to be a crazy, beautiful, and emotional ride. And a fun one too!! I loved their journey, it’s so unique and I felt I was right there with them along the way. In London. In the countryside. Like I was a guest in the inn Abby was staying in. I was invested. They just made me laugh, cry, swoon, and just think, really. It’s one of my favorite books of 2024. One of my favorite books ever. I loved it so much, it’s hard to put into words. Just read it. Period. It’s an unforgettable story.
The Surrogate is Penelope Ward’s newest romance and one of my favorites from her! I didn’t have the pleasure of reading The Aristocrat, but I still loved Sig from the start. He’s complicated, but deep down is a loving, sweet man. He’s still heartbroken after losing his wife, and really not sure what he’s doing with his personal life. When his in-laws want to use a surrogate to have a grandbaby from their daughter’s frozen eggs who passed away a few years ago and they ask for Sig’s sperm, he’s not sure what to do. He agrees to meet the surrogate even though he doesn’t trust her. He’s instantly attracted to her and that is bad, bad, bad. They can’t stop fighting and exchanging barbs. He can’t fall for her. She can’t want him. But oh do they and they can! I loved watching Sig and Abby fight and then really get to know each other. It’s a complicated relationship and situation, but it’s fun, emotional, sexy and I loved every minute of it!

I’m Ben Boerboom, the NHL’s favorite puck boy, and Lara’s my slamming hot, former bestie. She’s also the friend who got away and my dirty, dirty accomplice from those two insane weeks that weren’t supposed to change anything… but did.
I wanted it all. Would have wrapped my forever around her finger if she’d let me. But if making bad decisions is my special skill, Lara’s is making good ones… Like prioritizing her career goals and the kind of security she didn’t have growing up.
Hard pass on that kind of heartbreak again. So cue the bunnies. Years of bunnies.
Now Lara’s back in my city. Temporarily. And thanks to a burst pipe and a miscommunication with my sister, she’s living in my spare room.
A lot has changed, but two things haven’t. Her goals and the way she sometimes believes my bad ideas are good… like crossing those lines I swore we wouldn’t cross again.

Dirty Flirt is the tenth book in the Slayers Hockey series by Mira Lyn Kelly. Each book can be read as standalone but I recommend reading the series since they are all fun, sexy, sweet, and oh so swoony. Boomer has been there in the background making me laugh with his antics and now he is front and center and I am here for it.
Boomer was shocked when his roommate/best friend was moving out with his sister literally the minute after the announcement. He was even more shocked that Piper already set him up with a new roommate. He was flabbergasted when he found out it was his former best friend from high school. The girl he hasn’t spoken to in eight years. She went to college. He went into the league. He didn’t know what he was getting himself in to letting this happen but he would never turn his back on Lara. She was the friend that got away. They shared a few dirty secret weeks together before they went their separate ways and now she was back. Temporary.
Lara needed a home base quick. Her place in Chicago flooded and after calling everyone she knew in the city, Piper was the only one who had a room. What she didn’t know was that she would be rooming with her brother not her. She didn’t want this to be awkward. She has seen the headlines about Boomer’s bunny-loving ways. Was the Ben she knew still inside the man she doesn’t know now?
Yes. And to Ben, she is the only one who sees it. The click is still there. Its slow going but once the comfort sets in so does the friendship but is there more?
Mira killed it with this one. I love second-chances, friends-to-lovers, and close proximity and it has all three plus hockey? Gimme, gimme. I loved their banter, flirty ways, and just the way they made me laugh and swoon at the same time. I am excited about the next book!
