Julia Kent – Fun, Flirty, A Little Naughty

August 3, 2020 Leave a Comment

Julia Kent has been on my “I really need to pick up one of her books someday” list for a while now, but her recent Do-Over titles piqued my interest enough to finally do it.

Her latest, HASTY ($3.99), ends the series, which includes FLUFFY ($5.99), PERKY (currently $.99!), and FEISTY ($4.99) – plus a prequel novella to FLUFFY, Little Miss Perfect.

These books have really bawdy hooks. A fluffer (who stages homes for a living) responds to a want ad for the other kind of fluffer.

“Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. Turns out a “fluffer” doesn’t arrange decorative pillows on a couch.“

Of course she winds up running into her high school crush, while she’s in a compromising situation.

PERKY (which is currently $.99 on kindle)

One hundred years ago when I was young and impulsive (okay, it was five, alright? Five years ago…) I let my boyfriend take, let’s just say…compromising pictures of me.

(Shut up. It made sense at the time).

Surprise! The sleazy back-stabbing jerk posted them on a website and, well, you can guess what happened. That’s right.

I’m a meme. A really gross one.

Her ex is now a sitting Congressman and he (still) claims he wasn’t responsible.

You get the picture.

I’ve read two of these books – PERKY and FEISTY – and they’re just so clever and fun. (And sexy and smart. And yet also at moments heart-wrenching.)

I’m looking forward to reading (okay, listening to – they’re included in the Audible Escape package, which is where I discovered them) HASTY and FLUFFY soon.

These are really good, and you should consider picking them up.

Roselle Lim – The Delights of Magic, Paris & Tea

August 30, 2020

Lim’s writing is graceful and accomplished, allowing her to tell a layered, imaginative, entrancing tale with the lyricism and radiance it deserves.

Jenn McKinlay – Paris Books Are Always A Good Idea

August 30, 2020

This book was a great mix of deeper themes like extended grief and reclaiming one’s true self when life has become all work and no joy, held in tension with elements like reconnecting with old loves and finding them completely different than the hazy version of a decade ago.

Albertalli/Saeed – Say Yes to Yes, No, Maybe So

August 29, 2020

Today’s theme is: Some Awesome YA! Be sure to check out the posts on Sandhya Menon & Stephanie Perkins too! YES, NO, MAYBE SO is a warm, funny, engaging story, but it deals with so many issues in ways that are inspiring and uplifting, even as it reflects realistic disappointments and setbacks, that it is […]
