Julia Kent (1)

Fluffy is everything you would expect from a Julia Kent novel. Mischievously funny. Irresistibly charming and hard to let go of in the end. I laughed my way to tears. Mal is a tad goofy, but all heart. When desperation lands her in an awkward situation is when the laugh out loud moments begin. What I love most about this author is that the imperfections are what make the story great. Ms. Kent finds gold in the awkward and that's what appeals to the human in us all.

Shopping for a Billionaire - Part 1
4 Stars

Series note: This is the first installment in a serial. Unfortunately, Scribd only has the audiobooks for the individual parts and not the complete collection. Thus, I will be listening in increments.

Shannon Jacoby is a mystery shopper, in other words, she is hired by a company to evaluate their stores and employee performance. During one rather embarrassing job, she encounters seriously sexy Declan McCormack, and it is literally "lust at first show more flush". Unfortunately for Shannon, Declan is soon to be revealed as her latest client. Will she be mixing business with pleasure?

This is a short yet charming and incredibly funny read.

Shannon is delightfully snarky and witty while Declan just oozes charm and sex appeal. His appreciation for and determination to win Shannon is wonderful - this is a man who knows what he wants and is not afraid to go after it.

The rest of the cast is well-fleshed out for such a short story, especially Shannon irrepressible mother whose antics made me snort with laughter.

All in all, an intriguing beginning and I look forward to continuing with part #2. show less

Shopping for a Billionaire - Part 4
2 Stars

Series note: The 4th installment in the serial.

To be honest, this installment is disappointing. At this point, the slapstick style comedy is more irritating and embarrassing than humorous, and the angst of Shannon and Declan's break-up is drawn out and ridiculous. It is particularly annoying that the man cannot just explain what his problem is.

Absolutely hilarious read! I loved it from start to finish. Julia Kent's mind amazes me! It's hard to believe that one family and extended "family" can find themselves in these fantastically insane situations, but I love every detail I read about them.

Just as the other books in this series kept me "on my toes" so to speak, this book did not disappoint. I loved that it was from. Andrew's perspective because the inner workings of his mind is just as chaotic, maybe more so, than any woman's mind!
