Suggested Reading Order for Julia Kent Books

I get this question a LOT, so I’m writing this blog post to try (try) to help readers figure out what the hell you’re supposed to do when it comes to my CRAZY, interconnected series issue.

So I’m going to ramble a little and explain that I had no idea when I started writing Her Billionaires back in 2012 that my books would become popular. I didn’t have a plan. I have (kinda, sorta) a plan now, but in 2012? Pfft. Nope. I was winging it.

Before I become *too* long-winded, the Shopping for a Billionaire series is 99.9% separate from my other books. Only Dr. Alex Derjian (from it’s Complicated and other books in the Her Billionaires series) appears — briefly — in the Shopping books. So it is its own world. You do not need to read my other books to get the full picture. Read more

Where do you find your new books?

When I ask readers where they find new authors, new books, and new

Information search. Isolated 3D image

series to read, I get a remarkable mix of replies.

Lately, the two most popular are Bookbub and My Romance Reads. Speaking of Bookbub — you can sign up for a short email whenever my books are featured by Bookbub on sale here.

Word of mouth is a big one, too — but an awful lot of readers are romance novel readers in a sea of people who don’t approve. How many of you have friends who judge you for your reading habits, or who just don’t share your enthusiasm for the latest Sylvia Day novel?

That means reader communities, like Goodreads and Facebook groups on specific romance topics (likeSweet Hot Curves) are increasingly popular locations for word of mouth.
