REAL FAKE LOVE by Pippa Grant #JKentAuthor #amreading

By Julia on September 3, 2020 / #AmReading, Author Friends, Release Day / Leave a comment

Pippa owes me a new keyboard, because mine is currently covered with whatever I was drinking and half my lung as I read Real Fake Love. OMG. What a start!

Let me introduce you to Pippa’s hot new hero, Luca Rossi…

He smiles. Mr. Grumpypants actually smiles at me, a full, real, heart-stopping smile with mirth dancing in his eyes, teeth flashing, and his cheeks dimpling up behind that layer of dark scruff.Be still my panties. I think I’m in trouble.

If people have polar opposites, Luca Rossi is mine.

His butt is in the baseball hall of fame. Mine’s comfortably seated in the hall of lame.

When he’s not snagging fly balls out in center field, he’s modeling in shampoo commercials. I once jammed my own finger while stirring cookie dough, and sometimes I forget shampoo is a thing.

He’s a total cynic when it comes to love.

I make a living writing love stories.

But after my latest broken engagement (no, I don’t want to talk about how many times that’s happened), it’s clear he’s exactly the man I need.

If anyone can teach me to be the opposite of me, it’s him.

The first thing I want him to teach me?

How to not fall in love.
And as luck would have it, he’s in desperate need of a fake girlfriend to get a meddling grandmother off his back.

We couldn’t be more perfect together, because the last thing Luca Rossi will ever be is the next man to leave me at the altar.

Or will he?

Real Fake Love is a line drive straight to the heart featuring a grumpy athlete, a jilted bride, a fake relationship, and the world’s laziest cat. It stands alone and comes complete with sibling rivalry, the world’s most awkward shower scene, and a sweetly satisfying happily ever after.

It’s release day for Random Acts of Baby

By Julia on August 14, 2020 / #AmReading, Release Day / Leave a comment

Only Darla, Trevor, and Joe could do a surprise baby like this…

I hope my new release is at the top of your TBR stack. Before you curl up for a laugh riot with your favorite alt-rock band members, I have a request.

This book has a HUGE spoiler in the first chapter. I’ve never written a book with an OMG spoiler like this so PLEASE do not mention the spoiler when posting about the book or writing a review (but don’t let that keep you from reviewing and sharing!).

Second super-important note. Random Acts of Baby is only available at all retailers for TWO DAYS ONLY (August 14-15). After that, it will join the rest of the Random Series on Amazon / Kindle Unlimited.

Now go forth to laugh, read, and love!

You know those television stories about the woman who goes to the emergency room thinking she has a bad case of indigestion or kidney stones or a burst appendix and she comes home with a bouncing baby boy?

Stupid woman, right? Who the hell doesn’t know she’s pregnant for nine and a half months? I used to think those mamas were one block short of a level trailer.

Used to.

Random Acts of Baby is the 11th book in Julia Kent’s New York Times bestselling series as Darla, Trevor, and Joe go on a long, crazy journey involving a baby, living two lives, and learning who you can count on most when you need a helping hand.

“Trev?” Darla reached for me, her arm around the baby brushing mine, and before I could stop her, the baby’s head was in my palm, his little wrapped-up butt in my other hand, and I was holding him like he was two pieces connected by thick rope, each heavy enough to make my mind spin.

“Pull him in closer,” Joe whispered, as if he were a baby expert.

He was right, though. Once I did that, I had more balance. More mastery.

And I needed all the confidence I could get right now to make up for my lack of experience.

The baby was warm. Soft. Heavier than I expected and yet so fragile. His entire life was in my hands, and all eyes were on me.

Especially Darla’s.

“He’s beautiful,” I murmured, mesmerized as he squirmed in my arms, letting out a little sigh as his cheek settled in against my stomach. I curled my abs in and he took in a breath, then exhaling, little hand dropping, body relaxing.

He didn’t even weigh seven pounds and he felt like I held all the gold in the world in my hands.

It’s Release Week for HASTY

By Julia on July 29, 2020 / #AmReading, Audiobooks, Release Day / Leave a comment

Hasty is finally here. Get it in eBook, print, and/or audiobook – whatever format you need, the entire series is available now.

Early reviews are tremendous. While it’s bittersweet to end the Do-Over series, it’s been a wild ride, and what better way to end it than on a cheesy happily-ever-after? 😉

Get Hasty now. The price goes up on Friday.

I never thought my perp walk would lead to true love.

Then again, I never thought I’d be arrested on RICO charges and hauled away in zip ties on camera for the world to see, minutes after closing the most amazing deal of my career.

And all of it in front of my biggest rival, billionaire wunderkind Ian McCrory.

I am broke.

I am disgraced.

I am alone.

I am a sucker.

But the worst part? I have to go back to my hometown and live in my bedroom filled with relics from my childhood.

Lisa Frank never made me so mad before.

Just when I needed a rescue, I got one — in the form of help from my biggest rival.

He can’t bring back my money.

He certainly can’t bring back my reputation or my pride.

But there’s one thing he can bring back to me.

A sense of hope.

Maybe even love.

Ian sees something in me no one else does, and he’s relentless about making me see it, too. As we grow closer, I’m starting to see that while my entire life used to be a lie, the truth is staring me in the present — and it’s a truth I like very, very much, hot eyes and gorgeous smile and all.

But I have to be careful.

I can’t be too —

That’s right.

Hasty.

The final book in the USA Today bestselling Do-Over Series (Fluffy, Perky, Feisty), as Mallory’s sister, Hastings “Hasty” Monahan gets her turn at a happily ever after that starts off with an arrest.

Hers.

And ends with a surprisingly cheesy happily ever after.
