A romantic comedy with a touch of allusion and hyperbole, “Anyone But Rich
It’s the story of three brothers – Richard, Cade and Nick – from a small town but they came from old money. After they left, they made more money than what was in their trust funds. To the surprise of many, they decided to go back to their hometown, which irked the hell of out three women whom they left behind.
Kira, Miranda and Iris have a history with the King brothers. They left them in their wake, creating havoc to their lives. It might have been seven years ago, but they have not recovered, especially Kira who was just barely making it.
Hence, when Richard King walked back into her life expecting to be forgiven then pick up where they left off, Kira was more than annoyed. She was ready to start World War III, except that her heart had gone pitter patter. She was falling for Richard and her friends had called her a traitor and her father was more than ready to disown her once again.
To reiterate, this is a rom-com and it is a given that there is a happily ever after. But, this is not your typical rom-com because there are dinosaur bones involved and a pesky helicopter ride (that’s one of the allusion portions). There was also stealing desserts from a party and a school play in the mix.
Hilarity is not just confined to the main characters. Even the supporting ones have their funny moments. They even play the straight man at times. Nevertheless, “Anyone But Rich” is a story that will tickle your funny bone, no matter what.

Anyone But Rich
A romantic comedy with a touch of allusion and hyperbole, “Anyone But Rich” has so many laugh out loud funny moments that quite frankly I won’t be surprised if Saturday Night Life decide to pick up lines from it.

Summary
Seven years ago, my best friends and I made a promise: No matter what, we would never date one of the King brothers. Even if they grew up to become megafamous, gorgeous, heart-stopping billionaires. Even if they crawled on their knees and begged for forgiveness.
But guess who just flew back into our lives in a private jet? And guess who just showed up to my job on my first day? Richard. King. Fortunately, it takes two seconds for Richard to reveal he hasn’t changed. Conceited. Cocky. Rude. Unfortunately, he’s also the kind of gorgeous that’s borderline offensive—with a jawline to make statues self-conscious and a grin that short-circuits my brain.
He’s spent years taking what he wants. I doubt he’s hungry for anything else—except me, apparently. There’s no way I’ll let him maneuver his way back into my life. My friends would never forgive me. I would never forgive me. But did I mention his jawline?
