AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT

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.

You've seen the pictures. And if you haven't - don't ask. And don't look!

As face recognition software online improves, I get tagged on social media whenever anyone shares my pictures. You try getting a thousand notifications a day, all of them pictures of your tatas.

So. I'm done.

It's time for revenge. Let him see how it feels! But how do you get embarrassingly intimate pictures of your jerkface ex who double-crossed you five years ago?

Especially when he's a member of the U.S.House of Representatives now?

Getting sweet between the sheets with a congressman is pretty much every political roadie's dream, right? I'm one in a crowd.

Except to this day, he swears he didn't do it. Pursued me for months after I dumped him five years ago. Begged me to take him back.

And I almost did it. Almost. I was weak and stupid and in love a hundred years ago.

Okay. Fine. Five.

But I still have the upper hand. Second chance romance has all the emotional feels, doesn't it?

I can't wait to punch him in the feels.

All I need to do is sleep with him once, take some hot-and-sweaty pics of him in... delicate positions, and bring him down. That's it. Nothing more.

Pictures first. Revenge after. And then I win.

At least, that's how it was supposed to happen. But then I did something worse than sexting.

I fell in love with him. Again.

PAPERBACK


Perky, Fiona, and Mal are like women after my own heart! The names they call Parker are the reasons I own so many adult coloring books (this is entirely a true story)! Tell me... can you pass up a Twatwaffle coloring page? I think not! So, immediately upon hearing these terms of endearment... well, I just knew they were my kind of crazy! I love and appreciate the righteous indignation they show on Perky's behalf. Even then, when she's in the wrong, they let her know but they still have her back, right or wrong. I think that's what makes this trio of ladies so special and why as characters they really shine.
I think some of my favorite things about Julia Kent's writing is that they things her characters do, say, and or think... are the same things that run through my mind, well some time. Other times the things they say are just so outlandish I'm left with my mouth agape or hooting out laughter. I found myself shaking my head and agreeing with Perky so much only to be flipped upside down and have her say something completely off from left field and I'm left scratching my head. There are so many one-liners; so many zingers that I highlighted thinking these would make fabulous teasers! Seriously, Miss Kent can wing those wisecracks one after another until her fingers just have to be sore!
I'm sure you're reading this thinking where's the Rom in this RomCom but it's totally there... in abundance!! At first there was just some Rom sprinkled in with the Com but once the revengines started running the Rom started to get a bit heavier. Through the first half I was fully in Perky's corner cheering her on... calling for Parker's head on a skewer! Ever so stealthily he won me over until I was thinking Perky had to have it wrong.... THEY were violated.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.
 









Excerpt



Parker’s grasp as we kiss is masterful, his hips pivoting until we’re in a tiny closet, the door shutting behind us, our bodies surrounded by coats. At any second, someone could walk in, find us, interrupt and embarrass us, but I don’t care as my fingers grasp his thick, hard chest. He doesn’t care as his hand slides between my thighs, my need to be touched so great that I moan into his mouth, biting his lip. He makes a sound that says he needs this, too, his erection pressing into my hip, the centering of his thickness as he nudges my legs wider with his knee making me hold my breath as he rubs up, just once, just right, just there.
“I’ve missed you,” he hisses as his mouth takes my earlobe, sucking gently, then hard, the tip of his tongue flicking and laving, my clit spasming as it imagines him doing this between my legs. My fingertips dig into his shoulders, one hand diving down the length of his abs until I cup his sac, then ride the ridge of my palm up his long, thick, engorged–
“What are we doing, Parker?” I gasp.
“Whatever we want,” he says, so steady, so sure, so unabashedly here.
“SKIP?” someone calls out from behind the door.
“PERKY?”
Mallory whisper-yells, her voice breaking through as I clench, my whole body going tight, the core of me shivering with an orgasm that crashes over me as Parker’s leg, his mouth, his very presence, make me lose my everloving mind.
And all my self-control.
Every shred of it.
