The Objects of Attraction: The Complete 6-Book Collection
The internationally bestselling series with over 10,000 five-star ratings on Goodreads is back. This collection introduces two brand new bonus scenes and a new novella featuring fan-favorite "Grammy" and the story of her first love.
This 6-book collection includes:
Book 1: His Banana (Top 10 Amazon Bestseller) - My new boss likes rules, but there's one nobody dares to break...
No touching his banana.
Seriously. The guy is like a potassium addict.
Of course, I touched it.
If you want to get technical, I actually put it in my mouth.
I chewed it up, too... I even swallowed.
I know. Bad, bad, girl.
Then I saw him, and believe it or not, choking on a guy's banana does not make the best first impression.
*His Banana now includes a never-before-published bonus scene to conclude the book.
Book 2: Her Cherry (Top 10 Amazon Bestseller) - How’d I meet her?
Well, a gentleman never brags.
Thankfully, I’m no gentleman.
First, I paid for her cherry (pie, but that’s not the point),
Next, I deflowered her.
After that? I left my business card and walked out like I owned the place.
Yeah, you could say we hit it off.
*Her Cherry now includes a never-before-published bonus scene to conclude the book.
Book 3: His Treat (top 10 Amazon Bestseller) - Having a hot boss isn’t complicated or confusing at all,
Said no one ever…
But all I have to do is resist for a few months.
Come January, I’m flying to Paris to chase my dream of being an artist,
Too bad I can’t have my treat and eat it, too.
Book 4: His Package (top 10 Amazon Bestseller) - His package ended up inside my box.
Calm down, perv. My mailbox.
As soon as I saw what was inside,
I knew two things:
It belonged to my hot neighbor, and he had a dirty secret.
Book 5: Her Secret (top 40 Amazon Bestseller) - I’ll admit it. I messed up.
Mistake #1: Asking Peter Barnidge for a job.
Mistake #2: Accepting his offer instead of throwing it in his face like I planned.
Mistake #3: In the interest of stopping before #99, I’ll pretend the only other mistake was withholding one, tiny little nugget of truth during my interview.
Book 6: Her Bush (top 40 Amazon Bestseller) - Everything went wrong when I trimmed his bush.
And no, it’s not what you’re thinking. I’m a professional.
The client hired me to trim a bush in his garden for a party.
I accidentally turned it into something that rhymes with “a big rock and walls”.
Imagine my surprise when the art world decides it’s a masterpiece.
Book 7: Grammy's Story (brand new novella only available in this bundle) - She's kept quiet about the story of her first love for years. But when the opportunity to recount every hilarious, graphic detail of their love to William, Hailey, Bruce, and Natasha comes up, she can't resist. Grammy's story is a quick but sweet and funny story about how she met her first love when she was eighteen and had just moved to Manhattan.
If you love hilariously heartfelt stories with just the right amount of swoon and a little dose of ridiculous for good measure, then clear your calendar. Once you dive in, it's going to be days before you come up for air from this bundle. Scroll up and one-click now!

About the author
Penelope Bloom
69 books2,601 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). So if you’ve chatted with “Penelope” online, you’ve likely been talking to her—with the author chiming in whenever needed. Together, they’ve built the voice readers know and love.

A lot of fun
These books were hilarious and a nice escape. Grammy and William are insane. I liked some more than others but every single one made me chuckle.

Book 1- If you want a quick read that’s just light, fun and a little goofy this is good for that.
Book 2- It took me a minute to get into it because the virgin cliche but this one was even funnier to me than the first. Probably because William is crazier than his brother and his little “condition” was hilarious to me.
Book 3- I didn’t like this one as much as the first two but it was still fun.

Read the first book. I liked it but seemed rushed and disconnected at the end. Not interested in reading the rest of the books.

Best Rom-Com bundle with steam EVER!
If you like humor with your steamy romance, get this bundle. I read all of these books when they came out and they are F-U-N-N-Y. The books surround a group of related and semi-related people starting with
HIS BANANA: Bruce who must have the most pristine banana each day and the girl who deigned to touch his banana, Natasha.
HIS CHERRY: Next, we have William, Bruce’s outrageous brother and Hailey. A bet for her V-card. Ohmyohmyohmy!
HIS TREAT: Now, we move on to Ryan, who was Hailey’s helper in her bakery. He meets up with a past acquaintance, Emily from HS. These just get better and better.
HIS PACKAGE: This one can be a little over-the-top but I loved it. We meet Lilith who is Emily’s BFF. She has snark which can be too much for some, but in context, I loved her. There’s a reason…She comes up against “Bob” or Liam when there is a mix-up in mail packages. Hilarious!
HER SECRET: Here we meet Violet who is a friend of Lilith’s. She meets Peter who is a little more “damaged” than any of Ms. Bloom’s other male leads. Still wonderful! Their meet-cute is funny but Ms. Bloom adds more.
HER BUSH: Harry is a publisher we met in HER SECRET b/c Harry’s brother is Peter. Nell needs a job which her friend finds for her, trimming shrubbery. But this is not any ordinary shrubbery, this is topiary sculptures.
I love how so many of the characters will have cameo appearances throughout Ms. Bloom’s books. You really get to follow that couple’s progress even though each book is a standalone story. If you like romantic comedy, which is truly LOL humorous, get this book. You will not be disappointed. I volunteered to review this book for the author.

This awesome collection brings together all six of these zany, laugh-until-you-cry romances into a easy to one-click box set. I loved every single one these books and I think you will to if you enjoy fun storylines, silly humor, plenty of tongue-in-cheek of innuendo, quirky characters, sizzling chemistry, heart, drama and emotion.

These books never fail to bring a smile to my face and some lightness into my heart and in today's world that is a very good thing. This box set is the perfect way for newbies to get all the goodies in one single click and for devotees like me to get everything you love in a sleek little package with some delightful added content serving as the frosting on your cupcake.

HIS BANANA:
Bruce And Natasha Are Hilarious! Their Banter Is Laugh Out Loud Funny. Some Errors Were Missed In Editing.
This is book one of the Objects of Attraction series. It is Bruce and Natasha's story - a CEO and undercover journalist squabbling over his banana. It introduces Bruce's twin William, whose story is told in book two, Her Cherry.
Natasha Flores, about twenty-five, is a chaos magnet. Her tiny New York City apartment is a mess, her emotional bulldog is prone to diarrhea, she is months behind in paying her bills, and her refrigerator is practically empty. Compared to her thirty year old brother Braeden, a dreamer who still lives with their parents, she is a functional mess. She is also a good journalist - which is her dream job - but her self-sabotaging habit insures she always gets the worst assignments.
Natasha works freelance at Business Insights Magazine, whose meager offices reflect the state of print journalism. When her editor offers her the first serious assignment in her two years at the magazine, she eagerly accepts. All she needs to do is pose as an intern - land an internship at the prestigious Galleon Enterprises and gather dirt on the CEO. She is tasked to do whatever it takes to get the story.
Bruce Chamberson, probably thirty, uses self-discipline as a weapon. His success is built on it. His routine is like a religion. When he wakes up, his workouts, his meals - all are regimented. His obsessive-compulsive and perfectionist tendencies soothe him, giving him a sense of control. He had spent his life gradually building walls to insulate himself from disappointment, but his break up with Valerie two years ago was the last straw. The final wall went up, and since he never made the same mistake twice, he is done with women.
As CEO of Galleon Enterprises, the marketing agency he and his twin brother William founded, Bruce loves his job. He throws himself into it, finding satisfaction in success. William often came in late or skipped work, but he had great business instincts and the brothers worked well together. Hiring interns was William's brilliant idea, and he had made a good case for it, but he failed to show up for the interviews.
After a morning of interviews, Bruce makes his routine trip to the break room for the highlight of his day - his banana. Everyone at Galleon knows not to mess with the boss's banana, so when Bruce finds a pretty young woman with his banana, half-eaten, he is overcome with anger. He shocks himself as well as her when he insists on hiring her expressly to make her want to quit.
When Natasha lands the internship she can hardly believe her luck. But when she finds no sign of a juicy story, she is in a quandary as to what to do. She has learned to like Bruce, that there is more to him than his gruff exterior. She doesn't want to walk away from a budding romance. But he has been hurt and deceived before and he will have a hard time accepting the truth once he hears it. Natasha needs to confess what brought her to Galleon, but struggles with finding a good time.
Bruce and Natasha are hilarious! Their banter is laugh out loud funny. Theirs is truly an example of opposites attracting. Bruce's past weighs heavily on him, and somehow Natasha's messy life becomes an outlet for him. They do have obstacles to work through. Braeden's wisdom is unexpected and it is lovely to watch play out. The couple earns a lovely HEA!
There are some issues missed in editing. It is said that Natasha started three years ago, then later it becomes two years ago. Bruce is three months after a horrible breakup, then two years since Valerie (and there doesn't seem to be a horrible break up since Valerie). Finally, Natasha's eyes are twice referenced as hazel, then as brown. Although confusing, these don't prevent enjoyment of the story.
Bruce and Natasha's sweet and steamy story is a perfect light read for the weekend. It is nicely written, though there are some errors missed in editing. The plot is fairly simple. The characters are wonderfully defined and feel like real, albeit comical, people. It is written in first person. The POV alternates between Bruce and Natasha. I rate this book four stars.

William is smitten with Hailey who he's dubbed Cherry. Can William convince Hailey he's a good guy? Will Hailey believe in herself enough to try? Will William's parents ruin a good thing? Your answers await you in Her Cherry.
This novel surprised me with its tongue in cheek attitude. The characters and story were real, raw, honest, complicated, intriguing, and laugh out loud funny. This is Ms. Bloom second offering in this type of book and I highly approve. I look forward to the next adventure with this author.

He thinks that going into hiding will help the situation and becomes paranoid in the process. Meanwhile, Liam's new neighbor Lilith intrigues him with her sarcastic attitude and humor. Lilith works for Galleon Enterprise for The Chamberson brothers. Getting to know people makes Lilith leery and protective of herself. Can Liam work his way into her heart? Will Liam continue to hide from his stepsister? Your answers await you in His Package.
I think this is the best book in the series. My reasoning for that is this how powerful love can be and what it can overcome. The characters and story were complicated, compelling, complex, intriguing, unique, and real. I look forward to more from this author in the future.
Her Secret

I have to admit this series is an absolute favorite of mine. I love the world Ms. Bloom has created as well as the characters! I can't pick a favorite book or character at this point. This is definitely a must read series for me.

Lilith works for Galleon Enterprise for The Chamberson brothers. Getting to know people makes Lilith leery and protective of herself. Can Liam work his way into her heart? Will Liam continue to hide from his stepsister? Your answers await you in His Package.
I think this is the best book in the series. My reasoning for that is this how powerful love can be and what it can overcome. The characters and story were complicated, compelling, complex, intriguing, unique, and real. I look forward to more from this author in the future.
Her Secret
Violet Browning is a single mom with a marketing business attending book signings for authors. Violet is doing the best that she can. She approaches best selling author Peter Barnidge about doing marketing for him. Peter burned by a woman doesn't trust easily and sets a challenge that Violet can't refuse. Peter can't know that Violet has a daughter Zoey and to prove him wrong. Can Violet do that? Will Peter trust Violet? Your answers await you in Her Secret.
I have to admit this series is an absolute favorite of mine. I love the world Ms. Bloom has created as well as the characters! I can't pick a favorite book or character at this point. This is definitely a must read series for me.
Her Bush
Harry Barnidge is hosting a party for his authors and having landscapers fix his bushes. Nell Snell is a bush sculptor that turns a bush into an art piece with a statement. Nell gets invited to the party and becomes a sensation because of her art. Will Harry capture Nell's heart? Will all of Nell's art be a hit? Will old favorites appear? Find out in Her Bush.

It's hard to rate a who!e series
His Banana too funny. ⭐⭐⭐⭐Bruce is uptight but Natasha stumbles into his world and helps shake things up. Too bad she has a secret.
Her Cherry ⭐⭐⭐⭐William, Bruce's twin brother, is just a giant goof ball. But he's completely lovable. Poor Hailey is thrown to the wolves by her BFFs, Ryan and Candace (Natasha's friend). William's antics and secrets are very entertaining.
His Treat ⭐⭐⭐⭐ is Ryan's story with Emily a budding artist. Unfortunately Ryan doesn't remember Emily from HS but she does have mixed memories of him. With Williams help, they get iron everything out.
His Package⭐⭐⭐ is William's strange secretary Limit he's story. She's also Emily's BFF so we get William bumbling in, in his funny way. Pilot b's unique sense of humor is fun. Liam's secret is odd but keeps the entertainment going.
Her Secret ⭐⭐⭐ Limits makes a few cameos as Violet's friend. Violet is a single mom who is looking to make a better life for her daughter Zoey. She pitches her promotional skills to author's at a convention & meets Peter. It doesn't start out as a good impression. With Liam's help, she gets Peter's attention. I will Lilith's "surprise" was mentioned or hinted at in this book but oddly enough it was completely ignored...odd.
Her Bush ⭐⭐⭐ Here Harry, Peter's brother, meets Nell...a bumbling 22 yr old trying to find her way. She messes up her new tree sculpting gig but manages to make a positive impression on an art critic. Here again William add fun to the story as he "helps" Harry.
Grammy's Story ⭐⭐⭐is a cute flashback to when Chasity (Grammy) met Bertrand. She was fiesty even back in the day as she over shares in this short story. It was fun to hear her story of coming to NY and meeting a cute British guy.

Si hay algo que me gusta de estos libros es la estructura en que cuenta las historias, es prácticamente la misma, pero en cada entrega cambia cierto aspecto o se cambia el orden en que suceden las cosas y es algo que realmente se aprecia para no ser repetitivos. Los personajes no llegan a tener demasiado trasfondo, pero son muy agradables, algunos con fallos, uno detestable (el de Grammy) y otros majestuosamente escritos, lo que hace de sus relaciones muy entretenidas y dinámicas. También la gran variedad de escenas y situaciones las que se encuentran ellos, son muy curiosas y divertidas de leer.
Mi ranking personal de libros y parejas sería:
1. His package (Lilith y Liam)
2. Her secret (Violet y Peter)
3. His Banana (Natasha y Bruce)
4. Her Bush (Nell y Harry)
5. After his Banana (Rey y Miles)
6. Her Cherry (Hailey y William)
7. His treat (Emily y Ryan)
Uno de los fallos de la saga, es que es la típica saga de romance, no ofrece o intenta buscar algo más que eso, cosa que en ningún momento se encuentra obligada a hacerlo. Por eso, para divertirse leyendo, entretenerse y descubrir el porqué de cada título, con personajes muy agradables, es muy recomendable.

Sinnfully funny! Hilarious and sexy!
This set was so much fun to read! I had a blast getting to know all the characters. The set centers on how these items of attraction ate what draws the couples together....in the most hilarious of ways. Grammy and William are dangerously funny, and that is to be taken seriously, as their schemes to help their friends and family have a laugh out loud effect. Seriously, my neighbors kept looking at me like I wad losing my mind! And the chemistry between the couples, oh he'll yes! Sultry, sexy, hot, hot, hot! But also, Penelope Bloom inserts her comic genius here, as well. AND IT WORKS!! I found myself laughing at each character as they tried to either, get it on, be cool, or push their love interest away. Puts so many romcoms to shame. This one has its all. Billionaire twins, intrigue, television reality cooking shows, helicopters, OCD, kleptomainiacs, and a great love story.

So much fun to read and follow the mischief and crazy mishaps and interludes of all these connected characters. The twins are polar personalities and they show up continually throughout the series. Then of course there is Granny who is wild and unpredictable. Then there’s the grumpy author and his manager brother, and the handsome but emotionally stunted baking assistant who takes over the bakery and falls for an artist destine to leave, ouch. And who would not want to read about the goth like admin who protects her boss and has a heart of gold and wears her outside like a mask to protect herself and the charming billionaire nerd also in disguise. The books are just a romp from one funny heart warming situation to another. Worth the investment.

Loved these books, up until the nearly end!
I hate it when reviewers go through a synopsis of the book, that’s what the blurb is for! I just want to say that I loved the individual stories between the couples and how they intertwined with each other. Plenty of LOL’s (laugh out loud moments or lots of love moments depending on your age!!). My only minus point would be that there aren’t any penguins in Alaska and I really don’t want to hear about Gramma’s sex life at the end!!

It's like peaking behind the curtains of new friends
Fun collection of stories interwoven around finding love. Each person is developed and unique. Each facing challenges and displaying strength of character. Perhaps, my favorite is Granny. A loving, feisty, outspoken, and dirty minded senior that exemplified the concept that getting older does diminish the spirit or the joy of life.

A bundle of hysterical romantic romps
I’ve read each and every one of these books when they were first published and let me tell you, they’re worth your time and money. From quirky billionaire to harried bakers it’s a hoot. Then throw in one unrepentant grandma without a filter and you’ve got yourself a winner.

One of the Funniest Series Ever
If you are looking for laugh out loud moments, sassy women and the men who love them, and very spicy scenes, this is the perfect series of books for you! The bonus book about Grammy’s youth and the love of her life is the perfect way to end an incredibly entertaining series.

I read all of these books individually and as they are some of my favorites I grabbed the box set. They are well worth the re-read and the bonus scenes were a great addition. If you need a good laugh and some sexy steam you cannot go wrong with this box set. Grammy's bonus story is so good and she doesn't hold back, no matter who she traumatizes.

This is overall a great series! Marking the bundle read to record reading "Grammy's Story," a novella that tells how she and Bertrand got together, which is a lovely addition to the series that made me snort-laugh a few times.
Individual reviews posted on the individual books! Her Cherry and His Package were my favs.

Very cute and fun stories.
These six stories all vaguely intertwine, but can also be treated as standalone stories too.
Plenty of love, from all angles, here. The women all manage to wrangle their men well, and the men all love and protect their women.
William is hilarious, and ties the stories together beautifully. Grammy is an acquired taste, with plenty of Sass.
