From New York Times bestselling author Penelope Ward, comes a new standalone novel.


The beginning of my sophomore year in college was off to a rough start.

On the first day of orientation, I had an altercation with an infuriating British dude in a campus bathroom.

(The ladies room was out of order. So, I used the men’s room. Don’t judge.)

I got home later that night and realized that the foreign student we were expecting to rent a room in my parents’ house was allergic to our cat.

So, the spare room went to someone else: Caleb—the British guy from the men’s room.

And so it began…my love-hate story with Caleb Yates. Or was it hate-love in that order?


The guy knew how to push every one of my buttons.

Sometimes I’d email him to express my aggravation and disdain.

He’d actually rewrite my own words and send them back to me.

That was the type of infuriating person Caleb was.

So frustrating.

And…

Sometimes incredibly funny and endearingly sweet.

And hot.


He eventually grew on me, and Caleb soon became one of my best friends that year.

Too bad he was headed back to England soon, so nothing could happen between us—for so many reasons.

I definitely couldn't fall in love with him, especially since all we had was just one year.

Penelope does it again!
4.5 starsPenelope does it again with Just One Year. This story was angsty and emotional, heartfelt and hot as hell! I don't typically reach for college-age stories as much as I used to but I really feel like this one had it all. I felt classic Ward (think Stepbrother Dearest or Jake Undone) in this one which I absolutely LOVED!"I'd always felt close to Teagan, but now she'd infiltrated my soul in a way tht felt irreversible."Teagan is a loner. She keeps to herself in her family, dresses as to not stand out, and keeps up with her studies. She looks for relationships that won't be complicated, lacking love and attraction. Caleb enters her life at a time when she least expects it.Their relationship starts off rocky to say the least. Not really friendly, just coexisting. After things progress, they realize their mutual feelings can't be ignored. Their romance is a whirlwind as Caleb's time in the US is limited. Their relationship is basically doomed from the start as they didn't want to get involved since they're on a time limit. Decisions are made, hearts are broken, but in the end we're left with a super sweet HEA for the ages!

5.0 out of 5 stars Teagan and Caleb’s story = Incredible!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 25, 2020

I just want to say that this is one of my favorite covers and after reading the book it was so perfect!! Penelope Ward just continues to put out the most incredible stories. For as many books that she has published each and every story is unique with the best characters!! Just One Year is a standalone told from both points of view.

Teagan and Caleb’s meet cute was just that and it was beyond cute!! Teagan had to use the rest room and the ladies was closed, so she snuck into the men’s room the smelly men room!! She runs into Caleb and tries to defend herself with the smell. Dang funny stuff!!

Caleb ends up being a foreign exchange student that will be staying in Teagan’s house for one year. He fits right into the household, gets along with her Dad, Stepmom, and little sister. For her own reasons Teagan has distanced herself from her family. Having Caleb in the house has changed the dynamic and opened her eyes to see things differently.

Teagan and Caleb's story is a slow burn romance but I love that their friendship is formed before it even became obvious that they had feelings for each other. The spark between Keaton and Caleb comes out in different forms, Caleb knows how to push her buttons, the sarcasm and banter are overflowing. And she is brutally honest on everything especially her feelings. Each has their very own reasons for the way they are with their families. It was like they were put in the same place at the same time so that they could each heal the other. So many different levels to this story and with Penelope’s’ incredible storytelling it flows beautifully. We are gifted an amazing epilogue that made me feel all the happy feels!!

I found this romance novel to be sweet. Two broken souls who healed together. Yet, Teagan and Caleb never seemed weak. They didn’t hide from their love; they couldn’t believe they found it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Slow Burn, emotional romance with a British HOTTIE!!!
Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2020
Verified Purchase
Sexy, British foreign exchange student....YESSSS PLEASE!!! Teagan’s about to get schooled and it’s never been HOTTER! A slow burn, enemies-to-lovers romance with the most intense attraction. You won’t be able to resist Caleb either!

Caleb is in Boston as an exchange student to complete his freshman year. His parents are back in the UK. He’s finally free to let go of some of his past and live happily in the present. He’s fun and witty which he hides his pain. He’s loyal and good. He’s just a little lost.

Teagan is a genius, introvert working toward her degree in marine biology. She’s driven and dedicated when it comes to her studies, however she’s not great with people or emotional attachments. From a loving family, she still keeps herself on the outside.

Her and Caleb get off on the wrong foot but since she’s now his host family while he’s in the US, they’ll have to find a way to get along. Caleb wins her over quickly with his British charm and s'mores.

They started out butting heads, but soon become friends who share their deepest secrets and painful pasts. It doesn’t take long for friendship to turn into romantic feelings. The only problem is Caleb’s stay has an end date.

Caleb and Teagan share an incendiary slow burn. He’s leaving at the end of the school year. He has family and obligations to get back to, so starting a relationship is the last thing they should do. However, the pull is just too strong. There comes a point where you need to decide whether to make the most of the time you have or live with the regret of never knowing how good it could have been.

This story was filled with emotion. Love and loss. Guilt and heartache. It was chasing dreams and finding your happiness. It was sexual chemistry and falling in love. The path is not always straight forward, but the ending makes it all worth it. You will fall in love with Teagan and Caleb!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not my cup of tea, however, may be a better fit for others.
Reviewed in the United States on March 2, 2020

I debated writing a review, because to me, this wasn't my cup of tea, however, I knew others would definitely enjoy this book. I think part of my issue, is that I am not a huge fan of the this author's writing style. Therefore, this book was a bit of a struggle for me. I anticipated a lot more angst or hatred between the two main characters, as the book is presented as a 'love-hate' book. I also felt like parts of the story were dragged out; while other parts flew by. It lacked a consist flow, in my opinion. I did enjoy the bits of humor the book offered and the overall idea behind the story. While I don't think I'll be spending anymore money on this author (if she was a kindle unlimited author I probably would delve a little deeper into her books,) I do think this book has potential for others to enjoy.

This book captivated me from the very first words. I couldn't put it down. It wasn't just the characters, it was the whole thing. The setting, the circumstances surrounding the characters, the different dynamics between the characters, and the plot twists that kept sneaking into the story. Loved all of it!!!

So honestly I've to say that when I saw the cover of Just One Year by Penelope Ward I one-clicked this book right away WITHOUT even checking the blurb!
Now that I finished it I know I don't even have to regret my decision!
Awwwww! This story was sooooo good!
I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT! ♡
Well at first I thought it'll be a light and sweet little romance BUT IT WAS SO MUCH MORE!
It was SO EMOTIONAL! Be still my beating heart!
I loved Teagan and Caleb right from the start and their story was soooo beautiful!
Caleb is an exchange student from England and spends a year in America. He lives with Teagan and her family but that wasn't the actual plan. When both met for the first time it was really embarrassing for Teagan! And you can only imagine what she felt like when she came home and suddenly the hot British guy is there to spend a year with them. Ooops!
It was a really funny start of their story and it even got better and better!!
I really really enjoyed it!
I totally needed a book like this! ♡
