First impression of Landon Collins?Questionable. Highly questionable.He needed to take me to see “The Golden Pecker”.Fortunately, it was in the basement, not his pants.Turns out my late grandfather was running a BDSM club.I know what you’re thinking. Don’t follow a stranger into the basement. More importantly, absolutely don’t follow strangers who want to show you their “golden peckers.”But I … show you their “golden peckers.”
But I might have literally died of curiosity if I passed this up.
Sure, there was a chance of murder, abduction, and all sorts of horror. Then again, living with the endless questions would be its own special kind of hell. What kind of self-respecting man calls it a pecker? And what did all of this have to do with my late grandfather’s will?
The other problem was I couldn’t be sure if Landon Collins was plotting my murder, or if he just had resting hot guy face — broody eyes, a sharp jaw, and full lips made for cruel smiles.
Was I ignoring a few dozen red flags? Absolutely. But last time I checked, curiosity was only notorious for killing cats.
So I followed his firm ass straight to The Golden Pecker.

Ironing out the kinks
Landon Collins is a real piece of work. His mom was a wife who cheated, and his dad was a vengeful hotel magnate who divorced his kids along with his wife. Then daddy dearest hired him to manage the secret BDSM club in the hotel basement. The nasty old dude adopted 3 orphan girls as “Grandpa” and raised them with all the love he denied his son. A Dom is born… Andi, one of the 3 girls, grows up to be a wicked-smart, wisecracking Ms Independence who protects her heart by holding the boys at bay. There’s not a submissive bone in her body. When the hotel magnate dies, he leaves a weird will, with a few fiendish stipulations for Andi and Landon to meet before the inheritance is theirs… I can”t say more – spoilers! It’s a little contrived, and a lot short on backstory, but this slightly dark and darkly funny love story held me bemused and bespelled from page one to the deliciously drawn-out torturous HEA. Steamy attraction, very mild kink, and delightfully complex characters, all done in quirky Penelope Bloom style – this one is a treat. And this has been a voluntary ARC review.
This story was sweet, heartfelt, funny and more. For it to be based around a BDSM club, it’s a completely safe read. I loved the characters, Andi is a cup full of hilarious quips and Landon is the dreamy brooding hero. Penelope wrote this wonderfully hearfelt story, it could’ve turned so dark but she was able to keep it light even with some sad circumstances. I can’t wait to see what she puts out for us to read next

Full of quirky upbeat dialogue with a campy contemporary feel. It was easy to like Andi with her big heart, sweet disposition and innocent but awkwardly sassy wit.
Landon was instantly drawn to her at their meet cute at the vending machine (both buying skittles in memory of the same man) and was equally put off once he knew her name.
This romance had an edge to it with Grandpa Willy being the unknown wildcard. He was both horribly despicable in Landon’s eyes and wonderfully supportive in Andi’s eyes. Who was Grandpa Willy and how could he have treated Landon and his family so poorly for so many years?
Well written, funny, and romantic.
If you’ve never read a book from this author, you’re in for a treat!

I at first thought this would be like her other books of objects lol!! This is a funny, but weird rom-com and loved it from beginning to end. Starts with the death of Andi “grandpa” and a meeting with alpha Landon the go between. Brandon wants to hate Andi for who she is but he gives in and the adventures begin of wit, humor, BDSM(old people orgy was my favorite lol)!! A HEA for both Brandon and Andi, but also leaves hints of possible future stories with the characters!! Can not wait!

An enemies to lovers story that makes you laugh out loud repeatedly!! Landon and Andi didn’t start out as enemies, and the dislike is mostly one-sided, but the attraction between these two is hard to resist – for both of them! Andi’s often inappropriate comments and Landon’s responses had me laughing so loudly I woke up my 3yr old!! The twist at the end combined with the heat, humor and HEA made this love story a winner in my book!! I look forward to finding out what is next for this crew!
I voluntarily reviewed an arc of this book.
This is a well-written story, it has an interesting storyline with likable characters, there is plenty of banter and snark that kept it interesting.
Bdsm lite, with a side of humor
Now, this is one I can get behind.
Andi has to complete a list her adopted grandfather set out for her so she can inherit her share of the hotel. And a secret club.
Landon is her adopted grandfathers son. He gets to decide if she completed the list. One item being his submissive. Which Andi is so totally not.
It’s funny, sweet, all kinds of awkward.
Didn’t care for his ex Sydney (shows poor taste and bad judgment). But loved Landon and Andi together.

Surprising romantic mix a BDSM background.
Very good fairly tender romance, but surprising for its light BDSM background that I had not seen coming. The characters are very good. I really liked that the dominating character of Landon is perpetually confused by the sometimes incongruous responses or the unexpected behavior of Andi.
Andi’s adoptive grandfather and her sisters just died when a man, Landon, invited her to find out about a part of his grandfather’s will. To get her share in her grandfather’s hotel and the Golden Pecker, she had to go through several experiments with Landon. Except that Andi doesn’t know who Landon is compared to her grandfather or what the Golden Pecker is, and her surprise is even greater when she understands. But whether it’s Landon or Andi, neither is ready to make concessions to the other over their secrets or whatever they want.
I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader Copy of this book
A Book Where You’ll Find Some of the Funniest Lines. Period!
The author, Penelope Bloom continues to be a gifted writer of Romcoms and this story is another great example. Even when the plot involves BDSM it’s a subject I would encourage you not to shy away from as there are no actual R-rated scenes of hardcore BDSM activity in the book.
The storyline centers around two people, Andi and Logan, who shared a relationship with an elderly man who just died. Andi and her two sisters live in a swanky hotel in NYC owned by their adopted Grandfather Willy (who passed). Logan has been running one of three of Willy’s exclusive membership only BDSM clubs (ergo, title of book) that is located down in the basement of the hotel which Andi and her sisters knew nothing about.
Logan has been put as executor of Willy’s estate and has to show Andi a video Willy shot explaining what she to achieve in order to claim her 1/3 of the hotel and if she doesn’t, how Logan will benefit. So they start off somewhat adversarial. It doesn’t help that Logan has a secret or two or four and hasnt shared them with Andi. As you can guess revealing could effect the outcome.
Bottom Line: a funny, provocative story that has left me hoping this is the first book in a series of three. I feel issues are not quite resolved for Logan and the club given what he did and the veiled threats that were said to him. Also, Andi’s two sisters, Bree and Andria had not heard officially if they were each receiving their 1/3 of the hotel, or would they be forced to watch a video like Andi was then complete some tasks.
Anyway, this story, regardless if it’s a standalone or the beginning of a series is a fabulous read with outstanding characters to cheer for, laugh with, and tear up with. It’s a book I highly am recommending for your reading enjoyment and pleasure, and funny bone. Peace
If this title doesn’t make you smile….

This book was a fun read, it wasn’t what I was expecting at all. When I read in the blurb about a secret BDSM club my mind automatically when to a book that would be intense maybe even serious, but this book took the BDSM scene with twists and made it a funny rom com. Andi has a grandfather that passes way and she is supposed to inherit his hotels but in order to get her inheritance she has to meet up with Landon Collins so he can show her the secret side of her grandpa’s hotel chains one being The Golden Pecker that Landon runs. The Golden Pecker is Landon’s pride and joy, he has worked hard and practically for free to get what he wants and that’s ownership of the club. For either one of them to get what they want they must follow a list of demands Andi’s grandfather left for them to complete. This book had me laughing and swooning, then it had me frustrated with some of Andi’s ramblings because every now and then she would get on a rant and say the most absurd things ever but then she could be very enduring. I loved Landon he has secrets of his own and as he slowly falls for Andi, he is confused about what is right and what he thought he wanted. I hope we get more from these characters and Andi’s sisters because it is going to be crazy to see what happens next.
Funny must read. This is an enemy to lovers with so much build up. She is suppose to be the enemy but he can’t help himself and his feelings he starts having for her.
“The Golden Pecker” is a captivating, emotional, smoking hot, sexy and sizzling romance with so much drama. You’ll blush, heat up and be left breathless by this story. If this is your cup of tea romance then this book is definitely for you. Happy reading!!
Andi has experienced so much loss, first her parents and now her grandfather, and conditions of his will, what was he thinking. But Andi is determined, if not sarcastic, waiting with a pun and a handful more than Landon wants to deal with right now. In order for Landon to get a piece of the pie he needs to help Andi and put his personal feelings aside. Wonderful characters, I love the bond that the sisters have. The world in which they live is a bit surreal but so very interesting. I love the ending and adventures that Andi and Landon have while navigating trust.

BDSM and comedy. Two things I didn’t think would work together, but Penelope Bloom did a great job weaving them into this story. I loved the characters and hope Andi’s sister’s get their own stories too.
The man that Andi has called “Grandpa Willy” since he adopted her and her sisters has just died and the girls are awaiting word on his will. The word comes in the way of a video to Andi and her grandpa’s business partner, Landon. Landon introduces Andi to her grandpa’s secret BDSM club, The Golden Pecker, hidden beneath his hotel to watch the video. The contents send them on an interesting journey together. Landon is hiding a big secret from Andi though that can change everything between them.
This book’s name alone made me laugh. I loved this story about Andi and Landon whom are thrown together by someone they loved. This was a slow burn book until Andi decided what to do about the list she had to complete. What list you ask? Well you have to read this great book which will have you laughing and swooning through out. I love how this writer uses words to suck you into the story. Read this book you will love it too.

This book was a perfect blend of comedy, engaging plot, & memorable characters for me.
Penelope Bloom is known for her rom coms, and I loved this latest offering. The Golden Pecker is a BDSM club (this is not a hardcore BDSM romance in any way) that is connected to both Landon & Andi. Appearances are deceptive, and deception is the name of the game in this story. This fun romance doesn’t have the over the top ridiculousness of The Objects of Attraction series; there is a note of seriousness behind the fun. I loved watching the relationship between Andi & Landon heat up-their first meeting had me hooked! There two more Peckers, two brothers, two sisters to go-I don’t care where the will author take us next, I am going on that ride!
