Kitty's Book Spot!

Fluffy Julia Kent Publication date: April 30th 2019 Genres: Adult, Comedy, Romance An all-new STANDALONE from New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent   It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did.   I’m a professional fluffer. It’s NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits.   Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I’ll wait.   See? That’s the problem. My career has used the term “fluffer” for decades. I didn’t even know there was a more… lascivious definition of the term.   Until it was too late.   The ad for a “professional fluffer” on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day.   The perfect job!   Staging homes means showing your b...

  Shopping for a Baby’s First Christmas By:  Julia Kent (Shopping, #15) Publication date: December 6th 2018 Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance   My mother wants all her kids and grandkids to spend Christmas Eve at her house and wake up on Christmas morning together.   Sounds reasonable, right? And it would be. If it weren’t my mother.   My husband, Declan, is protesting any involvement, though he’s openly intrigued by the idea of claiming his territory by suggesting we have sex in my childhood bed.   And by ‘suggest,’ I mean make a series of really hot offers that make me whimper when I have to say no.   Wait – why am I saying no again?   Mom has turned her house into a Christmas showcase that makes Frankenmuth look like the picked-over clearance rack at Target on December 26. You know those crazy people on Etsy who make felted gnomes out of belly button lint and use ...

Sounds so romantic, with visions of cuddling before a roaring fire, hot chocolate spiked with brandy, and a secret elopement. Wait. What? My fiancé’s father won’t stop trying to turn our pending wedding into a three-ring media circus so he can get free publicity for his family’s Fortune 500 company. My mother has decided she’s done with All Things Wedding and asks her teacup Chihuahua for mother-of-the-bride advice. They’ve all gone certifiably mad. Then the stress from the wedding puts my mother in the hospital, I scream at my future father-in-law in front of a camera crew and the video goes viral, and the romantic wedding that started with Andrew’s grand Pride and Prejudice proposal looks less like Jane Austen and more like Dostoyevsky. So what do you do when you’re a fixer and you can’t fix...

                    About THANK YOU FOR HOLDING:   Having it all is a fantasy, right?   Carrie Shelton thought her boyfriend was too good to be true. Her best friend's brother? A guy who loved antiquing? Who cuddled on the couch while watching foodie YouTube clips and talking about artisanal spices? Who helped her accessorize her outfits?   Right.   Fantasy.   So when he ran off with Kevin, the owner of an antique shop, right before his sister’s wedding, Carrie’s life went from fantasy to nightmare. As maid of honor, she can’t back out of the wedding. And her ex is the best man - but now he has his own best man.   She needs a date. Stat.   Enter Ryan. Sure, he’s a hot male stripper at the O Spa where she works as junior designer, but he’s a few years younger and just, you know -- a friend.   Perfect. She needs a friend more than she ne...

This is the 2nd book in the On Hold series .  This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, I recommend reading this series in order. Ryan has been in love with Carrie, since the first day they worked together.  She was dating someone else, so he waited patiently for his chance.  Now that it is here - he is afraid she will turn him down. Carrie has been disgusted with her life lately.  First, her ex dumps her over the phone.  Then, she has to attend her best friends wedding, where her ex will be there with his new man.  Can she pretend her way out of this? This book felt a little whiny.  I loved the characters.  I enjoyed the humor, heat, and pace of the story.  I was just very frustrated that the characters let so many things come before the love they supposedly have for one another.  Just my opinion.  I enjoyed the book overall.  I give this story a 3/5 ...

  About SHOPPING FOR A CEO'S FIANCEE   We skipped right over the whole fiancée thing and went straight from girlfriend to wife. At least, I think that’s what happened. I woke up after my brother’s Vegas wedding reception with my luscious girlfriend in bed with me. We’re both wearing wedding rings. So is her coworker, Josh. And our Vegas chauffeur, Geordi.   Who the hell am I married to? Unraveling this mystery will be as difficult as figuring out why Amanda and I are having panic attacks over the thought of being husband and wife. Or, whoever we’re actually married to. Oh, ^%$#. It’s true that what happens in Vegas stays in Vegas, with one exception: If she’s my wife, we’ll make it work. If she’s not? I’ll make it happen.   Get the 9th book in Julia Kent's New York Times bestselling romantic comedy series as Andrew and Amanda sort out their wild Vegas night...and the rest of their lives.   A...

This is book # 8 in the Shopping For A Billionaire series .   This book should not be read as a standalone.  It is much easier to follow, and reader will have better understanding with reading the series in order.  There is serious spoilers ahead for those that read out of order intended. Declan and Shannon's story continues and hits a high note in this 8th book.  Dec and Shannon have run off to get married, since the circus has come to their wedding created by her mother.  The hijinx continue as the family follows them. Shannon cannot seem to catch a break.  Declan is the only person she has in her life right now that is listening to what she has to say.  Her best friend tries, but is busy with her own happiness right now. Such a clever and funny story!  I am always happily surprised that this author makes me laugh so hard.  Again, another successful and very fun book.  I give this a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC c...

This is the 7th book in the Shopping for a Billionaire series .   This book can be read as a standalone novel.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, however, I recommend reading the series in the order intended. Amanda and Andrew have met a couple years ago.  He keeps kissing her in closets, private, or hidden where she thinks he may not approve of her.  Their attraction is like a live wire and anyone who sees them in the same room has no doubt. Andrew is being made CEO and needs to keep a lid on it for a while.  He asks her to keep it a secret.  In the mean time, they start dating.  The kisses get hotter and they get in deeper..... Was laughing my way through this latest installment of the series.  This book is a bit different, since the principle characters are not the same as previous books.  There is no change in how much fun it is to read!  I give this story a 4/5 Kitty's Paws UP! ***This ARC copy was given in ...

This is book # 6 in the Shopping For a Billionaire series.   This book should not be read as a standalone.  It includes a continuing story line.  For reader enjoyment and understanding, please read this fantastic series in order. Declan and Shannon's story goes on with him trying to propose to her.  While hijinx ensues, as it always does when dealing with an unusually close family and an interfering mother.  Said mother cannot butt out of anything.  Yet it tickled the funny bone.  Glad she isn't mine. Shannon just tries to go on with her life.  Completely unaware of all the background noise that is putting Declan into stress.  She is merely trying to navigate a life where she works for her man, and does not want to be known for him helping her get the job. Just as earlier in the series this book is so seriously funny, I must warn the read to be cautious about what you may eat while reading.  Prepare for laughter, tears, a...
