Author Bio:

New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Julia Kent 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 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 and three children in a household where the toilet seat is never, ever, down

 

Introduction:
When you’re coming down off ’shrooms and NyQuil and find yourself naked in a car older than you, 600 miles from home, a kiss is about the only thing that can make it all better. -- Trevor

The fact that he was fully naked and I was not was a kind of tragedy. We needed to fix that. -- Darla

I luxuriated in the pure joy of this, his mouth warm and wet as his tongue explored me, my body swelling under his fingers, strumming me like I was a replacement for his destroyed guitar.
Play me, man. Play me all night long. -- Darla

I had two goals:
1. Find a way back into her good graces so she’d let me make love to her.
2. Get some pants, shoes and a shirt.
In that order. -- Trevor

All I had were my wits and charm, and right now, the wits were pretty well blown.
Charm, don’t fail me now.-- Trevor


 

Excerpt:
TREVOR


Darla. I needed Darla now. The thrumming power of being on stage was like an aphrodisiac that made me love the crowd, but the lyrics I wrote and performed were all for her. She was all I wanted now. Kissing that mouth and smothering her sharp tongue with my own, hands full of her curvy ass, our bodies smashed together and sweaty, grinding out the fear and the hesitation and the—

There she sat, holding Joe’s hand, his face next to her ear, whispering.

Two different Trevors responded, both devils inside me.

One said: He’s stealing her.

The other said: You can share her.

To this day I have no idea why I listened more to the latter, ignoring the former with such ease it felt fake, as if I were sublimating the thought because it was too hard to consider.

Joe let go of her hand and stood, and Darla threw herself at me, squee-ing like a fangirl. Her words were unintelligible but somehow I managed to catch words like I can’t believe and That was incredible and Holy fucking shit you wrote me a song.

BLURB:

The odds are against him, but Jerin will find a way! With or without the gene Kaley will be his…

On Setera, only one in four hundred thousand is born possessing the cryan gene—a gene essential to the survival of the Seteran race. Jerin and the others like him are duty bound to find the match to that gene somewhere in the universe, for it can no longer be found on Setera. With no clear instructions on how this task is to be accomplished it is a daunting undertaking, like finding a needle in a haystack.

Jerin’s assigned quadrant is Earth. After twelve years of searching he is beginning to lose hope, until the answer hits him over the head with a frying pan. Now all he has to do is convince this beautiful, feisty woman to follow him to another universe in a galaxy far far away.


TEASER / EXCERPT:
“You never lie. I know that in the depths of my soul.”

The chair made a scratching noise as he rose forcing it backward. Kaley stood and melted into his arms. He’d known this woman for a few short hours and yet he knew, with every fiber of his being, that he would spend the rest of his life with her. Her daydream had actually been a foretelling of their future together. A way to make her understand what was going to happen. He was relieved that it had been so easy.

About Rose Amberly

When Rose Amberly was little, she pestered her mother for stories every night (and morning and afternoon.)

By the age of six, she started to make up stories and tell them to her parents pretending she'd read them in a book. Happily, now she's all grown up and no longer has to pretend.

She travelled widely and tried different careers is education, therapy, art management and even briefly, bookkeeping but none of them were as much fun as making up stories.

Five years later she is compelled to visit Minerva’s Mystic Museum. The ‘powers that be’ have interceded giving her the chance to change that destiny.

Korina is sent home where she discovers it is the morning of her wedding day. Determined to do the right thing, she marries Adam.

Witches are not unknown to Korina, so how will she handle the curse that has divided her husband into two men?

Adam is caring and kind. Arun is, well, a bastard! Unbeknownst to her they are two halves of the whole man she has married.

Will Adam’s ugly face and Arun’s kinky sexual desires send her running home? Or, will she stay with her husband, honoring her betrothal commitment?

Does Korina have a kinky side as well?

How will she break the curse? Does she want to?

Here is the premise for the Mystic Museum Series

Minerva’s Mystic Museum is located in New York City. Every full moon the “powers that be” choose someone from the visitors of the museum. This someone, known as the mystic walker, will be the hero/heroine of the novel. The “powers” select someone they feel deserves a second chance, or just a chance to follow their destiny. Minerva, the curator and caretaker of the museum meets the chosen mystic walker. Through the magic that has been entrusted to her, Minerva supplies them with the opportunity to change their lives.

TEASER / EXCERPT:
From the shadows, Korina strained to see the man at the altar. The music sounded, and the strands of the wedding march filled the air.

“I guess it’s time,” she whispered.

“Having second thoughts?” her father asked.

“No…just scared.”

“I think you are being very brave. This is an outdated custom. It should be done away with.”

“Thank you for being willing to let me refuse. Knowing you care that much about me helps. Somehow it makes it easier.”

He nodded acknowledgement.

“They are waiting,” he said as he patted her hand.

“It’s showtime.”

Her father looked at her oddly. “What?”

“Nothing.” She felt her cheeks flush. She’d picked up that phrase in her exile.

Father and daughter stepped through the doorway.

All heads turned to look at the bride. Korina scanned the crowd. There was a small handful that she didn’t readily recognize but seemed vaguely familiar. Where were the guests from the groom’s side? Korina looked at the many expectant faces, faces she hadn’t seen in a long time. How she wanted to stop and talk to just about every one of them. She stomped down that urge. Her heart swelled, and she wanted to cry as contentment filled her. Beneath her veil, she smiled warmly. It didn’t matter that no one could see it.

By the time her father placed her hand into the hand of the groom, she had to close her eyes to stop the tears from falling.

That was the moment her fingers touched the skin of her betrothed. A wave of sensation passed through her body, warming her entire being and filling her with pleasure. The feeling lingered, yet when she opened her eyes, she had to fight to control the urge to jerk her hand away.

Korina focused on the eyes in the very homely, almost hideous face. Warm blue eyes, sensual eyes, eyes that suddenly looked hurt. Apparently, she hadn’t controlled the twitch of her hand as well as she’d thought. She squeezed his hand apologetically. His eyes registered his surprise. He seemed to be trying to see through the veil.

The priest called their attention to him. A hush fell over the room as the priest spoke the words that united her, body and soul, with a stranger.

Julia Kent ~ presents ~ Flufy



SALE
Fluffy
by Julia Kent
(@jkentauthor) is Only 99c April 6-17! #sale #99c #romcom #romance #comedy


FLUFFY
Author: Julia Kent
Release date: April 30, 2019
Genre: Romantic Comedy, Contemporary Romance
Cover Designer: Hang Le
Editor: Elisa Reed
Audiobook narrator: Erin Mallon 

99¢ SALE – add audio with Whispersync and/or Audible Escape 

Description:
It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did.

I’m a professional fluffer. It’s NOT what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits.

Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I’ll wait.

See? That’s the problem. My career has used the term “fluffer” for decades. I didn’t even know there was a more… lascivious definition of the term.

Until it was too late.

The ad for a “professional fluffer” on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day.

The perfect job!

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.

They arrange other soft, round-ish objects.

The job isn’t hard. Er, I mean, it is — it’s about being hard. Or, well… helping other people to be hard.

Oh, man…

And that’s the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham – my high school crush. The owner of the house where we’re filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental.

By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with an undressed naked star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete.

My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what’s easier than I ever imagined?

Having all my dreams come true.

 Excerpt:

“I can't tonight. I have a date,” I blurt out, remembering David. The dating app. The asshole who isn't an asshole.

Yet. I haven't met him, so that judgment remains withheld.

“A date?” Will asks, intrigued.

“Yes. A date. You know, that thing where you go out with someone who has no intention of really getting to know you and you spend the entire time eating bread that doesn’t taste as good as your date claims and trying to decide whether to initiate rescue-text sequences with your mom.”

“That’s your idea of a date?”

“That is my actual experience of every date I’ve had since college.”

“You’re dating the wrong guys.” He holds my gaze for just a little too long. I look away.

“I have to keep fishing in the pond if I ever want to catch a different one.”

“If that’s the way you talk to your dates, I am beginning to understand why they all turn out so badly.”

“Hey!”

“What?”

“Don’t accuse me of being a bad date. I’m a great date! I Google the guy in advance and read his LinkedIn profile. I make sure I don’t wear super-tall heels in case he lied about his height on his dating profile. I pretend to care about all his hobbies and don’t reveal that I’m secretly tallying all the micro-aggressions he’s sending my way during appetizers and wine. And if he makes it to dessert, well–” I falter.

“You never make it to dessert, do you?” Will asks, eyebrows up. He drops them quickly, wincing.

“I–well–it’s not that I don’t. He doesn’t!”

“He ditches you?”

“No! No! It’s just that he always has a thing.”

“A thing?”

“A work emergency. Or a dog with a twisted bowel. Or a grandma in the ER.”

“How many guys used the twisted-canine-intestine thing?”

“Three.” I sit down and sag against his teenage desk, elbows sliding forward, fingers deep in my hair. “I looked it up. There’s an entire subreddit devoted to inventive ways to get out of a bad date.”

“And yet here you are.” He leans against the edge of his desk. “Trying again.”

“I’m a masochist.”

His eyes gleam. “Maybe you should start your dates with that line. ‘Hi. I’m Mallory Monahan. I’m a masochist.’ You’d definitely make it to dessert.”

TEASER / EXCERPT:
Shamika entered the kitchen. The picnic basket contents were prepared and waiting on the table. She looked out the door, hoping to see rain clouds gathering in the sky. No such luck. She looked over her shoulder at Nadine, who was chuckling and shaking her head.

“Harold already checked the weather station. We’re not expected to get any rain today,” Nadine said with a smile tickling the sides of her mouth.

Shamika’s shoulders slumped as she sighed with resignation. “I was afraid of that.”

“Funny, Harold said the same thing when he heard the report.”

“I bet he did.” Shamika crossed her arms over her chest and leaned back against the kitchen counter.

“He and Nate are saddling the horses now. I told Harold to get the saddlebags Hugo and I used to use. Hugo fixed those bags so we could carry a picnic lunch quite easily. I used to enjoy those picnics.”

Harold stormed into the kitchen. The screen door slammed closed behind him. Shamika could feel the anger wafting from him.

“Now, Harold, I taught you better than that. You know how I feel about slamming the screen door,” she said, clucking her tongue.

“You don’t like it any more than I like being shanghaied into being a tour guide.” He scowled at his mother and glared at Shamika.

“Don’t look at me like that. It wasn’t my idea,” Shamika said.

Nate tied the horses to the post outside the kitchen. He opened the door. “I brought the horses over.” He made sure the door closed gently.

“Well, finally, someone with manners who knows how to enter a house,” Nadine praised.

“If he’s such a good boy with fine manners, why don’t you have him escort Mika around today?” Harold ground out.

“I’d be more than happy to,” Nate said with laughter in his voice. He looked at Nadine hopefully, and then his gaze settled on her. He flashed a smile that had probably melted many a heart. Shamika rolled her eyes.

“That’s very nice of you, Nate, but Harold will do it,” Nadine answered.

Harold shot Nate a look filled with venom. What was that all about? Shamika wondered. Harold was the one that suggested Nate in the first place. What did it matter to him who took her on this tour anyway? Nate didn’t seem to notice. Maybe he was so used to those looks that it didn’t faze him anymore.

Allana Kephart ~ presents ~ Fearless


* BLOG TOUR *
Fearless 
By Allana Kephart
Genre: New Adult Interracial Romance
Series: Lionhearts #1





Priv·i·lege: having special rights, or immunities. Societal and social advantage.

For Riley McLeon, ignorance is bliss. As the daughter of a single cop with a history of shooting first and asking questions later, she’s grown up sheltered. He taught her everything she knows about life, love, guns, and the world as he sees it. And all he ever asked from her was a promise: she would never date a man of color.

Ra·cist: a person who shows or feels discrimination, prejudice, or antagonism against people of other races, or who believes that one’s own race is superior.

Lincoln Sanders knows all too well about the skin deep judgments people make. He knows what it is to lose everything, to be haunted by the impossible. He knows pain. He knows hate. And he definitely knows trouble when he sees it.

Chance: to take a risk. A possibility of something happening.

Silence comes easily when the whole world is against you, and being together is an act of bravery neither Lincoln or Riley think they're capable of. Loving each other feels like coming back to life, but you can’t move forward if you’re living in the past.

When you unlearn everything you've ever known, you can become fearless.
