Objects of Attraction #2
Su cereza
Segundo volumen de la bilogía que se inició con Su banana. Penélope Bloom llega a España con sus grandes bestseller. Una nueva forma de endulzar tu postre.
¿Que cómo la conocí?
A ver, un caballero no alardea.
Menos mal que yo no soy un caballero.
En primer lugar, pagué por su cereza… (su tarta de cereza, aunque no viene a cuento).
Luego la desfloré.
¿Después? Le dejé mi tarjeta de visita y salí de allí pavoneándome.
Sí, ya ves que lo nuestro fue un flechazo.
Hailey
¿Que cómo conocí a William?
Entró en mi pastelería, compró una tarta de cereza, robó un jarrón de flores (que sigo saber para qué las quería) y me dejó su tarjeta de visita.
Antes de decirte lo que hice con la tarjeta de visita, debería dejar algo claro:
William no podía haber aparecido en peor momento.
Mi pastelería iba cuesta abajo.
El asqueroso de mi ex no me dejaba tranquila.
Ah, y era una virgen de veinticinco años, un detalle con el que mis amigos no dejaban de darme la tabarra.
Arreglar el problemilla de mi virginidad con William sería como matar moscas a martillazos. Una exageración, pero de las buenas.
William estaba tan bueno que no era normal, tan bueno que las mujeres hacían cosas que tampoco eran normales. Tan bueno que me llevó a hacer locuras. Como pensar que a la mosca no le importaría morir a manos del martillo de William y de sus duros abdominales. Y ya somos dos.
Así que lo llamé.
A lo mejor lo hice en contra del sentido común. A lo mejor estaba a punto de darme un batacazo.
Sabía que acababa de meterme en un buen lío cuando soltó una carcajada y dijo con esa voz tan ronca y sensual por teléfono:
—Todavía me tienta tu cereza. ¿Haces entregas a domicilio?

About the author
Penelope Bloom
71 books2,697 followersUSA Today, Wall Street Journal, and Amazon Charts Bestselling author Penelope Bloom is taking her first flight into romantasy—and yes, there are dragons. After years of contemporary romance, she's temporarily trading meet-cutes for magical academies and coffee shops for castles that reek of blood. She promises the banter is just as sharp, but now it comes with deadly consequences.
Fun fact: “Penelope Bloom” started as a tongue-in-cheek tribute to the family dog, Penelope—never meant to be anything serious. But then the books took off, and the name stuck. Behind the scenes, Penelope Bloom is actually a husband-and-wife team. He handles the writing; she edits, helps with brainstorming, and runs the reader-facing side of things (like social media and messages).

I laughed and laughed and laughed, wheezing and holding my tummy because it hurt so much from guffawing so hard!
(Oie! Get your mind out of the gutter: that's a banana! Well, at least he brought snacks!)
I will never be able to look at whipped cream again without falling off my chair with hysterical laughter. And don't get me started on the cherry pies - and the cherry pie football!!! I have to stop typing now because I've got to hold onto my sides again, just remembering those scenes!
From beginning to end, I must have laughed more than I breathed while I read this uproariously funny romantic comedy. I loved William! I am not going to tell you the story. Read it for yourself!
I think it's still on sale for 99 cents - buy it! I first started reading it on my Kindle Unlimited plan, but decided to buy my own copy anyway, it was that good!
By the way, for those of you who dislike graphic bedroom antic descriptions, this one will be perfect. This story concentrated on the development of the relationship and all the hilarious hijinks in between. Every time I see this title come up on the Notification feed, I start to laugh just at the memory of it. If you need a good laugh, check this one out: harmless fun with a bit of raunchy on the side!

Having had a lot of fun reading His Banana a few years back it now felt like the right time to continue on in the series. Her Cherry is book two and focuses on William, Bruce's twin brother.
Hailey has her own bakery and when William stops by one day the purchase of a cherry pie is the start of a blossoming relationship.
These books are short and silly and while they aren't going to win any literary awards they are fun reads between heavier books.
At time of positing this series is available on Kindle Unlimited.
Four stars.

Okay, I love William. I liked him in the first book but now I am in love with him.
Her Cherry is about William finally meeting the one. Enter Hailey, who is a struggling baker that doesn't have time for a love life. She is struggling to make ends meet and to get rent in on time. Then the day that William walks into her bakery for a bagel and ends up buying her cherry... pie as well. They were definitely a cute couple and I enjoyed all the laughs that came with it.
These two had such great chemistry. They bantered really well together and definitely found a way into each other's heart rather quickly. The one thing that stuck out to me though were his parents. Now we sort of got a glimpse or two about them in the first book because Bruce doesn't really have a relationship with them. Then you see that William sort of has one but it's mostly just giving them money whenever they wanted it.
Back to the parents, I think they definitely stepped out of line in this one and I was intrigued to see if they would make another appearance towards the end of the book or even in book 3 - they didn't but ya never know when it'll happen. I'm sure they aren't happy with their sons wives.
Other than all of that, I enjoyed this book and I'm definitely falling in love with this series.

I simply adored Hailey and the fact that she is a virgin and the crap her sister and her friend Ryan out her through. Then William walks in and buys her cherry pie.I thought the first book his banana was funny . This book Her cherry is just as funny. Wait till you meet Haileys grandmother. That's a treat.

En líneas generales es un libro que me ha hecho reir mucho, aunque William y Hayley no han conseguido superar a Bruce y Natasha de Su banana 🍌vs🍒
Esta novela es mucho más acelerada, y a nivel personal soy más de protagonistas del corte de Bruce que del corte de William (eso sí, no le niego que ha tenido cada momentazo con su cleptomanía y su forma de actuar tan imprevisible que me tenido partiendome de la risa), además he sentido que la autora podría haber profundizado mucho más en el tema del pasado de Hayley y su ex-novio acosador, pero que se ha quedado en mera anécdota 😦 Aun así, como os dije con Su banana, estos libros son de esos perfectos para alternar entre lecturas densas, una comedia romántica para desconectar y pasar un buen rato.

I liked “His Banana” so much that I couldn’t wait to get my hands on this one too, however, while the humor is all there, the Hero, William (brother of the first Hero), unfortunately annoyed me!
William is a hero who plays games with women, is a Manho and steals things! Because he is an entitled prick, he thinks he can get away with it. This entitlement BS and his kleptomaniac/juvenile behavior turned me off big time that I could not finish after 30% in.
I know there is another book coming out, but I think I’ll pass because I don’t think it will be as good as the first one.
* Three stars for the humor and awesome Granny!!!

Legit laugh out loud funny! I really enjoyed this book about the other Chamberson twin. I would recommend this series. It’s a quick read and very enjoyable, I would even consider rereading.

Me ha gustado mucho. No tenía ninguna expectativa por culpa del libro anterior, pero este lo he disfrutado mucho. Me encanta William, me ha faltado un enfrentamiento con sus padres, pero por lo demás ha sido una bonita historia

No bueno. The first one has some major issues, but it did occasionally hit the mark with humor and chemistry between the leads, but this one is chock full of nothing. The laughs aren't there and what is left is pretty DOA. The "hero" is a kleptomaniac for laughs, the heroine is a stereotypical virginal cipher who doesn't make much of an impression, other than as a doormat to the hero's whims, and the way the story wraps up felt very random and pointless. I'm a fan of screwball comedy, but there does need to be some structure to the plot or it falls apart, like this one did.
I think I'm done with the series. It's a shame because I did see potential with the first book, but this just isn't my cuppa.

I think this was ever funnier than her previous book in the series. I was crying from laughing so hard at one point. There are corny lines, horrible (read as hilarious) innuendos, and a perfect smut to plot ratio.

Bom talvez o certo será as 3,5 :(
Sim é divertido, sim é atrevido mas só 156 páginas ??!!! Nem dá para nos apaixonarmos pelas personagens e a acção desenrola-se tão rápido que num piscar de olhos acabou...
Tinha tudo para dar um livro que nos viciasse

Allora dopo aver letto il libro di Banana Girl e Batman mi aspettavo un libro simile con il gemello e la pasticcera vergine... E invece mi sono ritrovata un libro completamente diverso,molto più comico leggero, frizzante e soprattutto spontaneo.
William incontra Hailey nella sua pasticceria e subito scatta una scintilla speciale tra questi due personaggi. Lei cerca di togliersi dai piedi una scommessa fatta con il suo aiutante e lui rimane folgorato dalla giovane ragazza che si trova davanti.
La storia che viene narrata dopo racconta come questi due personaggi, che vengono da due mondi diversi, riescano a diventare una coppia molto forte. Avranno anche loro due il loro bel da fare perché lei ha dei problemi finanziari e lui dei problemi con i genitori che metteranno zizzania tra i due.
La storia che viene narrata è stupenda davvero! Mi ha fatto ridere come una pazza! Dovevo mettere giù il Kindle ogni tanto, perché le risate che ti fai con William non te le fai con nessuno.
Non è una storia erotica perché le scene di sesso sono poche, ma sono scritte così delicatamente che non ti fanno pesare il genere. Non sono volgari e hanno del tatto soprattutto perché spiegano come una giovane vergine diventa la ragazza di un miliardario scoprendo anche se stessa.
I personaggi sono descritti benissimo perché i due caratteri che vengono spiegati e ben analizzati durante la storia non sovrastano l'altro vanno pari passo e i personaggi crescono durante la narrazione.
Posso dire che la scrittrice ha fatto un buonissimo lavoro e non essendoci un dramma vero alla fine ti risulta molto credibile non come nel primo caso in cui tu ti aspettavi il dramma c'erano le basi per crearlo e non arrivava nulla.
Ora non vedo l'ora di leggere la storia di Ryan che sarebbe l'aiutante della pasticceria con un artista.

Su Banana no fue un libro que me impresionara, aun asi decidi darle una segunda oportunidad a esta saga y leer esta continuacion, principalmente porque todo el mundo decia que este tomo era mucho mejor .... lastima que a mi no me lo pareciera.
Si en la primera novela ya William me parecio bastante pesado e imbecil, en esta se corono como uno de los protagonistas mas insoportables que he conocido, es mas, la descripcion mas acertada que me viene a la mente para describirlo es la del tipico gracioso de clase que se cree hilarante pero que en realidad es un autentico imbecil.
Con Hailey la cosa tampoco mejoro, me resulto una protagonista sosa, incoherente con sus acciones y un poco ( muy ) aburrida.
No consegui conectar con ninguno de los dos, pero eso ni siquiera fue lo peor de esta lectura, lo que mas me decepciono fue que la trama, si se le puede llamar asi, es inexistente y absurda.
Por ahora necesito un descanso de esta saga, aunque mi parte masoquista me " obliga " a leer al menos el libro de Ryan antes de hacerle la cruz de forma definitiva a estas novelas.
En fin, Su Cereza es un libro infantil, con unos personajes que lejos de gustarte consiguen ganarse tu desagrado y que no volveria a leer ni aunque fuese el ultimo libro del mundo.
No lo recomiendo en absoluto.
1 Estrella!

3,5/5*
Dějově velmi jednoduchá a svižná knížka, u které si zaručeně odpočinete a dost možná se i nahlas zasmějete.
Sedlo mi to víc, než Jeho bánán, především asi díky větší míře humoru, postavám a možná i samotému ději, který mě zkrátka více bavil.
Všechno jede hodně po povrchu, na žádné bliží vykreslení postav nečekejte (přece jen má knížka lehce přes 200 a není na to prostor). Zápletka je velmi jednoduchá, snadno předvídatelná, ale to u knížky tohoto typu můžete očekávat.
Já šla hlavně po tom humoru, u čtení jsem se náramně pobavila, i si odpočinula a za mě kniha splnila svůj účel. Super jednohubka na večerní počtení.

This series is just too funny to me. It is full of sexual innuendo and sexual tension, lots of "foreplay" between the MC's William and Hailey. She is a baker and he is a millionaire and CEO of Galleon Enterprises. He's known as a player and he has never really had a serious relationship since his one sole purpose for women has been for his pleasure only. But when he meets Hailey she is different and tells him like it is.
William has a little brother (by less than 2 seconds) named Bruce, and they are identical twins. Bruce and William are opposites in most ways. The brotherly bantering and rivalry is not overly done so I liked that part of their relationship.
William decides to do something for Hailey to help her out with her bakery business, but things kind of go awry when each other thinks something wrong of the other person...jumping to conclusions, which puts a damper in things.

So I LOVED His Banana and was excited to see Her Cherry come out. I didn't know that it had to do with the other brother. I was even more excited when I was reading.
William is the fun-loving take no prisoners kind of guy. He goes through women like his underwear and you can't expect much from him. At least on the surface. But once you start reading and getting into the book you find a whole other side of him.
Hailey is a baker and she is having a financially hard time. She has some great friends (loved them) and when William walks into her life she really has no idea how to handle him. She is his total opposite. It is she who is what is good for him.
I laughed, rolled my eyes, and just generally loved this story! Can't wait for more from Penelope!

En realidad le doy un 3,5/5.
¡Hola a todos!
Me encanta cuando las editoriales se apiadan de nosotros sufridos lectores y no nos hacen esperar demasiado para poder tener en nuestras manos la siguiente entrega de una serie que nos ha gustado y nos ha divertido tanto como a mí Su banana de Penelope Bloom. Este es el caso de Su cereza, la segunda entrega de la serie Objetos de atracción que llega a nuestras manos publicado por el sello Terciopelo de Roca Editorial.
En esta entrega nos vamos a reencontrar con William, el gemelo de Bruce, del que pudimos tener un pequeño atisbo en Su banana.
Hayley a sus veinticinco años tiene una vida social prácticamente inexistente, toda su vida se centra en su negocio, una pastelería con la que apenas logra sobrevivir y que no está pasando uno de sus mejores momentos, las deudas se acumulan y la cosa no pinta bien, a eso hay que sumarle un exnovio un pelín acosador que no acepta que su relación haya terminado. Junto a ella, apoyándola en todo, están Ryan, su empleado y amigo y Candace, su hermana. Ambos cansados de ver como Hayley se encierra entre tartas y pasteles, no hacen más que animarla y pincharla para que salga de su zona de confort y se anime de una vez por todas a perder de su virginidad con el primer hombre que entre a la tienda y compre una tarta de cereza.
Ese será William Chamberson. Cuando William entra en la pastelería de Hayley a comprar un bagel no podía esperar que la repostera que lo mira boquiabierta desde el otro lado del mostrador podría ser su próximo desafío, así que no duda en llevarse unas flores y dejarle su tarjeta para que sea ella la que dé el siguiente paso si está interesada.
William es el director ejecutivo de Galleon Entreprise. Es un hombre atractivo, irreverente, un poco gamberro, muy seguro de sí mismo y un poquito cleptómano que nos dará momentos muy divertidos.
Es la antítesis de su hermano, al que le encanta sacar de quicio cada vez que tiene la oportunidad, donde Bruce es todo orden y control, William es desorden y caos.
Vuelven a aparecer en escena los padres de los gemelos, demostrándonos que bastante bien han salido ambos a pesar de quienes son sus progenitores, unos padres egoístas capaces de cualquier cosa con tal de conseguir lo que quieren, normalmente dinero, y que saben bien como aprovecharse del buen corazón de nuestro protagonista.
Como secundarios aparte de Bruce y Natasha, están Ryan y Candace, a la que ya conocimos en el primer libro como compañera de trabajo y amiga de Natasha, aunque sus apariciones son mínimas, pero a quien destacaría es el personaje de la abuela, una mujer de armas tomar y muy moderna que intenta convencer a su nieta de que viva la vida de una vez por todas.
El libro tiene ciento noventa páginas divididas en quince capítulos más epílogo. La narración es en primera persona por William y Hayley y sigue, al igual que en la anterior entrega, llena de diálogos con doble sentido llenos de humor y diversión. Sigue el mismo estilo divertido y desenfadado que la anterior entrega.
Penelope Bloom nos trae una historia de ritmo ágil y sencilla con personajes adorables y con personalidad propia, sus personajes me han atrapado, me han mantenido en tensión con su tira y afloja. A pesar de que en principio pueda parecer una novela erótica no lo es, el romance se va cociendo a fuego lento entre ambos y si no recuerdo mal, solo hay una escena de sexo casi al final del libro, por lo que no vais a tener exceso de escenas de cama aunque sí mucha tensión sexual contenida y romance.
En definitiva Su cereza sigue la estela de Su banana, una historia divertida y desenfadada con la que pasar un buen rato. Espero que la editorial se anime y siga publicando el resto de la serie.

«Ese tío sabía que yo era virgen. Estaba claro que lo sabía. A lo mejor había un club secreto de tíos buenos que se pasaban los nombres de las vírgenes locales. O a lo mejor lo había adivinado solo con mirarme, porque era así de evidente.»
Ese será William Chamberson. Cuando William entra en la pastelería de Hayley a comprar un bagel no podía esperar que la repostera que lo mira boquiabierta desde el otro lado del mostrador podría ser su próximo desafío, así que no duda en llevarse unas flores y dejarle su tarjeta para que sea ella la que dé el siguiente paso si está interesada.
«Cuando la conocí, me pareció un desafío. Era virgen, y eso significaba que tenía algo que yo podía quitarle. Algo que no le había entregado a nadie en todo ese tiempo. El cleptómano que llevaba en mi interior se sintió atraído.»
«Era el tipo de mujer que me atraía. Había visto reflejada su lucha interna en la cara tan clara como la luz del día. Le gustó lo que veía, pero era lo bastante lista como para darse cuenta de que yo era un gilipollas. En otras palabras, esa mujer suponía un desafío. ¿Dónde tenía que firmar?»
William es el director ejecutivo de Galleon Entreprise. Es un hombre atractivo, irreverente, un poco gamberro, muy seguro de sí mismo y un poquito cleptómano que nos dará momentos muy divertidos.
«Sí, tenía un problemilla con la cleptomanía. No, no pensaba cambiar. Ese era el diagnóstico médico si nos ponemos puntillosos. Me gustaba robar cosas. Todo empezó cuando Bruce y yo crecimos en la pobreza, unas circunstancias que lo justificaban. Al final, comprendí que robaba cosas porque me gustaba hacerlo, no porque necesitáramos el dinero. Siempre me había visto obligado a buscar sitios donde guardar mis tesoros, y el salón de trofeos era el epítome de todo mi trabajo. Allí era donde guardaba las mejores piezas.»
Es la antítesis de su hermano, al que le encanta sacar de quicio cada vez que tiene la oportunidad, donde Bruce es todo orden y control, William es desorden y caos.

—Nos turnaremos. Al fin y al cabo, un Chamberson siempre paga sus deudas.
—¿Los Chamberson también tiran por las ventanas a los niños pequeños y se acuestan con sus hermanas?
—Depende de si el niño pequeño en cuestión se lo merecía, y solo tengo un hermano. Así que no, mi parecido con Jamie Lannister, de Juego de tronos, termina en lo de la deuda.
—Qué pena. La lucha a espada me pone muchísimo.
—Siempre puedo aprender.»
Penelope Bloom nos trae una historia de ritmo ágil y sencilla con personajes adorables y con personalidad propia, sus personajes me han atrapado, me han mantenido en tensión con su tira y afloja. A pesar de que en principio pueda parecer una novela erótica no lo es, el romance se va cociendo a fuego lento entre ambos y si no recuerdo mal, solo hay una escena de sexo casi al final del libro, por lo que no vais a tener exceso de escenas de cama aunque sí mucha tensión sexual contenida y romance.
«No me consideraba una experta, pero reconocía la divinidad cuando la tocaba. Su culo era la imagen perfecta a la que todos los culos aspiraban. Era un Ferrari al lado de los Toyota Corolla de la mayoría de los hombres.»
En definitiva Su cereza sigue la estela de Su banana, una historia divertida y desenfadada con la que pasar un buen rato. Espero que la editorial se anime y siga publicando el resto de la serie.

I absolutely loved this book. It was a fast paced, laugh out loud RomCom. I loved William and Hailey, both had a quick wit and every scene they had together made me laugh out loud. William had no filter and he was upfront about it, and yet Hailey still accepted him as he was. She even learned to be more like him as the book went on. I will reading more from this author. I know not everything she has written is like this, but her writing is flawless.

Fun Book
This was a fun book with really likable characters. Even the side characters are a riot. It isn't as laugh out loud funny as His Banana, but still a great read!
4 stars!

Comédia romântica engraçada, mas sem grande conteúdo. Gostei mais do primeiro livro, este não me convenceu. Ainda assim, é uma leitura de Verão leve e divertida.

2,5⭐️ E che posso dire..? credo che dirò molto poco.
Con tutto il dovuto rispetto per il lavoro dell’autrice devo purtroppo bocciare questa storia.
Ho faticato a leggerla e a finirla. Caotica, sconclusionata, a tratti assurda e in alcuni punti addirittura squallida (a pag. 151 abbiamo toccato il fondo).
Battute e siparietti che dovrebbero risultare divertenti ed esilaranti che risultano invece imbarazzanti e volgari.
Non so se sia colpa di una cattiva traduzione ma questo libro mi ha delusa moltissimo è davvero brutto.

I did a dumb thing, y’all. I read this book, which is a follow-up to a book I thought was just a smidge above “meh” on my rating scale. So, I guess I got what I deserved when this book turned out to be a smidge below “meh” on my rating scale. Sigh.
Much like it’s predecesor, you’ll have to overlook a few things if you want to enjoy this book:
1. There are many, many childish, nudge-nudge-wink-wink “cherry” innuendos. Many, many, many…
2. William is a kleptomaniac. It’s played up for laughs, but in truth, this is an actual psychological disorder that isn’t terribly funny. I think it was supposed to make William cute and endearing, but it actually just made him kind of...sick and weird and in need of help. Don’t even get me started on his trophy room. That’s really only a hop-skip-and-a-jump away from digging a pit in your basement and keeping kidnapped women in it. Buffalo Bill had a trophy room. Remember?
3. The heroine, Hailey, is a virgin. Sigh. Again?
4. Why is it that the friends and family of virgin romance heroines are so interested in helping said virgin lose her virginity? Even when the virgin has no real interest in doing so? I’d be pretty pissed if I was a virgin and my friends told complete strangers that I was a virgin, ripe for the taking.
5. The first time Hailey shows up at William’s house for a job, William does something stupid and silly and immature that would get him sued in the real world. Again, I think it was supposed to be cute, but...it really wasn’t.
6. At one point, William finds a stray puppy and is perfectly willing to leave it in the street to fend for itself until Hailey forces him to keep it. A REAL romance hero would’ve taken that puppy in willingly and treated it like a little princess.
7. I’m pretty sure sex in a lifeboat wouldn’t work out well. It’s logistically super complicated.
8. I kind of hate William’s parents and wanted them to karmically get what was coming to them. They didn’t. I was bummed.
And if you can overlook all that, maybe you’ll love this book. That’d probably make you a better reader than me, and I can live with that. There’s no reason for all of us to be miserable, after all.

Oh, double entrendre, how I love thee! Let me count the ways. He takes her cherry and deflowers her without a proper introduction. Yep. That totally happened! 😂 Hailey and William are quite the pair. They get into too much mischief to keep up with and have to deal with misunderstandings and meddling exes and parents. I enjoy the humor, which is sometimes crude. I also really like the dynamics. He may be richer than he cares but she couldn't care less about that. She's a klutz, naive, and ever hopeful that things will work out. You do not need to read book 1 in this series to enjoy this one even though those characters make multiple appearances in this book.
The narrators, CJ Bloom and Alexander Cendese, do a good job of keeping things light and fun.
