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.
My Review
This book surprised me. After reading Fluffy, I anticipated more vocabulary lessons and hysterical laughter until my sides hurt and I was wiping away tears. Perky had a completely different tone and goes a lot deeper, showcasing the author's versatility. And it suits the story, considering it’s a second chance for a romance that ended in an epically horrendous way.
Persephone (Perky) Tsongas is world famous. Well, at least her chest is. She lost the love of her life over it when he leaked a nude picture of her that was turned into a meme that trended like wildfire. But when she sees Parker Campbell five years later at her best friend's pre-wedding festivities, she can’t seem to keep her lips off of him.
Perky’s story is one of shattered dreams, lost love, surviving scandal, overcoming disappointments, rectifying misunderstandings, and best of all, second chances.
Yes, there're still plenty of laughs and lighter moments, but even more emotional tugs at the heart strings. These characters will own your heart as you follow them to their ever after, so be sure to grab this fantastic, heartwarming story of redemption where love always wins!
Get your copy of Perky using the links below, and definitely scroll down and check out the hysterically funny Fluffy, as well as the prequel, Little Miss Perfect (free!!). Until next time, dear reader
Much love between the covers.

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.

writes romantic comedy with an edge. 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

her husband and three sons in a household where the toilet seat is never, ever,
down.
