Description

**Top 100 USA Today bestseller **
**Audiobook narrated by Audie award winner Amy McFadden**

I’m thrilled to be the maid of honor in my friend’s wedding, but the best man, Andrew McCormick, is a chauvinistic pig with a God complex.

And I can’t stop kissing him in closets.

(Don’t ask.)

He’s the brother of the groom and the CEO of my biggest mystery shopping account, but suddenly he’s refusing to be in the wedding. He won’t talk about it. Won’t see reason.

He’s such a man.

And he still won’t stop kissing me in random closets.

(Thank goodness.)

I’m a fixer. That’s what I do. I can fix anything if given the chance. But when the game is fixed there’s only so much I can do.

The ball’s in his court now.

Game on.

Biography:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge, with more than 2.5 million eBook, print, and audiobooks sold and 5 appearances on the New York Times bestseller list. Her books have been translated into German, Italian, and French, with more languages coming soon.

From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men's room toilet (and he isn't a billionaire).

She lives in New England with her husband, three children, and an adorable Havanese doggo named Walter.

    This book has so many different feelings in it that they seem to be on a roller coaster ride at times. For sure you will be entertained.

    Great book and a wonderful cast of characters. Didn’t like the bonus story as much though the book was very fun and thrilling.

    I enjoyed book but could have done with 200 less pages! This 57 yo vanilla had to google a few things. Note to self next time don’t. And I will be trying Cheetos treats it sounds too gross not to try! Plot boy meets girl kisses her ignores her for two years, they both have phobias. Through misadventure and a highland themed wedding ( poor Chuckles ), and doggie dates they manage to have a happy ending. I enjoyed the conversations between the girls and mothers more than the romance. My friends certainly don’t talk or have those experiences-why it’s called fiction right? If the first three chapters don’t spark your interest don’t plow through the rest. I enjoyed enough to finish with a bit of skimming.

    Funnier than the usual offerings, but distressingly materialistic and so into the billionaire thing. The whole book reminds me of the stereotype of the ugly American, a bunch of greedy money hungry name droppers. With bad manners.

    This is the 7th book in the Shopping for a Billionaire series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. For reader enjoyment and understanding, however, I recommend reading the series in the order intended. Amanda and Andrew have met a couple years ago. He keeps kissing her in closets, private, or hidden where she thinks he may not approve of her. Their attraction is like a live wire and anyone who sees them in the same room has no doubt. Andrew is being made CEO and needs to keep a lid on it for a while. He asks her to keep it a secret. In the mean time, they start dating. The kisses get hotter and they get in deeper..... Was laughing my way through this latest installment of the series. This book is a bit different, since the principle characters are not the same as previous books. There is no change in how much fun it is to read! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review.

    Julia never ceases to amaze me. She’s the master chef of the literary world. She’s the only writer who can make this recipe work. 1. A beatiful romance with many “awwwww” moments. 2. Real women who aren’t just anorexic doe eyed beauties you want to smack. Real women = hips. 3. Humor - I’m talking about, “Make sure you go to the bathroom before sitting down to read, because inevitably you’ll be running after laughing so hard.” humor. She mixes those ingredients together and creates these fun and romantic literary masterpieces that you just don’t want to put down. Trust me. Read all her series. You won’t be disappointed.
