 Let's give a warm welcome to Julia Kent! She is here to bring her new book, and has a giveaway at the end for you! Let's check it out! New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2 million books, with 4 New York Times bestsellers and more than 21 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French, German, and Italian, with more titles releasing in the future. 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 met in a romantic comedy). She lives in New England with her husband and three children where she is the only person in the household with the gene required to change empty toilet paper rolls. She loves to hear fr
