Blurb
A sweet, flirty, and heartfelt romance with two roommates that spend one enthralling summer together.
After her car accident, Monica believes her dance career is over, despite the positive outlook everyone else has. Instead of trying to get back on her feet, she works on perfecting the art of couch surfing.
Famous author, Gabe Mitchell, doesnât fare much better. On top of watching his roommate letting her life pass by, he also suffers from a major bout of writerâs block.
Hoping a change of scenery will get them both out of their rut, Gabe takes matters into his own hands and whisks Monica away to his own personal haven.
What neither one of them expects is the attraction to each other to bloom even though Monica will leave Brooksville in a matter of weeks.
Their time together is filled with skimpy bathing suits, sexy fantasy book inspirations, hot tub make-out sessions, and new job prospects.
Itâs plenty to reignite their creative flames, but will it be enough to turn their one short summer into something more?

Excerpt
Pulling out the barstool beside her, I sit down, wanting to be on her eye level. It takes me bumping my knees into hers for her to look at me, but at least she finally does. âHey! Remember itâs me youâre talking to. Weâve been sharing a house for most of the last year. Thatâs pretty much as close as anyone has ever been to me, not that I would do this for just anyone. Youâre a very sweet, kind, caring, and talented person. You need to get it in your pretty head that you donât owe me a thing. Iâd do it all over again in a heartbeat.â
My words donât exactly trigger the response I intended as I watch the pink tinge travel up Monicaâs neck and cheeks before she covers her face with her hands. âOh gosh. Stop it already. I can't remember the last time I blushed. How embarrassing.â
Flabbergasted.
Iâm absolutely stunned sheâs reacting this way.
Itâs also interesting she can still surprise me after weâve known each other all this time.

Title: Perky
Author: Julia Kent
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: July 30, 2019
Blurb
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.

Parkerâs grasp as we kiss is masterful, his hips pivoting until weâre 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 donât care as my fingers grasp his thick, hard chest. He doesnât 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.
âIâve missed you,â 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, engorgedâ
âWhat are we doing, Parker?â I gasp.
âWhatever we want,â he says, so steady, so sure, so unabashedly here.
âSKIP?â someone calls out from behind the door.
âPERKY?â 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 Parkerâs leg, his mouth, his very presence, make me lose my everloving mind.
And all my self-control.
Every shred of it.

Nothing in life has ever come easy for the boy from the other side of the tracks.
A mother that left. A father that hit. A brother that protected.
They say everything happens for a reason.
Joss Hess has spent his entire life looking for that reason.
After nearly killing a man and barely avoiding prison, Joss finds himself sentenced to 18 months on Briscoe Ranch, where certain things are expected.
Hard work. Manners. Responsibility. Respect. Worst of allâanger management and restraint.
If he fails, Joss will be sent back to the state penitentiary to serve the remainder of his sentence.
One road block stands between Joss and his freedom: Ren Briscoe
Raised by ranchers, Ren Briscoe has been around men her entire life.
Home on summer vacation, she quickly realizes that Joss Hess is unlike any man she has ever encountered before.
She hates everything about himâ¦his filthy mouth, arrogant attitude, the way he makes fun of her purity ring and her boyfriend. Mostly, she hates him because no matter how hard she fights it, Joss occupies her every thought. He may be the convict serving his sentence; but the real prisoner is Ren.
Just the fact that someone may be reading my âbioâ thrills me. What does one say in an author bio? Well, I LOVE to write! Sometimes characters talk to me in my head (in a non-psychotic way) and I have to get what they are saying out on paper! So, here we are! â¡
I am a part-time juvenile probation officer and full-time wifeâ¦but I spend the majority of the time helping my two favorite, college-aged sons navigate through life and hopefully become the best humans they can be.
I am a huge fan of the Kansas Jayhawks, the Oregon Ducks and the Chicago Cubs! (I have a dog named Wrigley)
Iâm terribly addicted to musicâALLLLL kinds and driving in the car with the sunroof open and radio turned up helps the creative juices flow.
I am deliciously addicted to queso and cupcakes; but even with thatâ¦I like to slowly kill my body with Crossfit. Iâm annoyingly sarcastic.
People ask me âwhat has been your favorite book to writeââI would have to say my original series. (I think it sold 100 copies) J Somedayâ¦I may have to tweak them a bit because my heart was poured into those booksâbut they need help! Slick was my Amazon best sellerâ¦but every one of them mean something to me.

Manda's 5 Star Review
Wow wow wow. What an emotional read. I did not know what I was getting when I started this book, but it was so much more than I could have imagined. I have loved Warden since he first made an appearance back in the beginning. He is such a strong character and has such a good heart. I was beyond excited to find out he was getting his own story. He needs every bit of strength and heart he has to help Emerson. She has been through so much trauma and experienced so much evil. It is amazing how much strength she has to keep moving. This is definitely a cant put down kind of book. Lila Rose is a fantastic author and one of my very favorites. I re-read her books frequently and find I love them just as much as I did the first time. I always look forward to reading her books.

âAnother great addition to this series. Aurora Rose Reynolds is one of my favorite go to authors. I don't even have to read the book description to know I am interested. This series is a particular favorite as we have known these characters for a long time through their siblings books. They are family and we looks forward to their stories. December is a particular favorite as she is a little more reserved than her sisters and I was excited for her to get her adventure. The writing is fantastic and as always the story is engaging. I have reread the previous books in the series when I need a book I know I am going to enjoy and I know Until December is going to be another reread favorite.

Excerpt
JOEY
Theyâre on the loveseat facing the window and in profile from my view. Huck is down on his knees, head between Brookeâs legs. Sheâs gripping his hair, head thrown back, eyes closed, and her plump mouth open to allow the moans to escape.
Huck reaches up, grabs the front of her sundress, and drags it down so her bra is exposed. He does that again with the bra, and her tits bounce out. All the while heâs licking her pussy.
One hand grabs one breast and squeezes. Hard. Hard enough to make Brooke whimper. And the other one slides between her legs.
He fingers her as I watch, my dick getting hard at the sight of them.
Footsteps on the stairs make me look over my shoulder. Wald comes up around the banister. Saying nothing, but looking me dead in the eyes.
He licks his lips and I turn back to keep watching.
Waldâs hands slide around my hips and his chest presses into my back as he reaches for my already hard cock beneath my slacks.
âWald,â I say. But itâs so soft, I donât think he hears me.
Lie. Itâs a lie. He hears me.
They planned this.
He and Huck planned this on the way over.
Wald grabs my hand and reaches for his dick, placing my palm over his growing hardness under his pants. He squeezes himself using my hand to do it and I fucking moan. I canât help it.
Then heâs kissing my neck, whispering, âCome on, dude. Play along. You know you want to,â in my ear as he begins to unbuckle my belt.
I suck in a breath of air, thinking up a reason why I should stop him.
But thereâs no good reason. Weâve already crossed the line again.
Where did I really think this day would end up?
I brought a girl in. I let them both have their fun. And I had mine too. Then I gave her a ring and bought her a house and told them they were staying here with us.
I can say itâs all for Maisy. And that might still be true.
But this is the real me, isnât it?
This is the reason why I never settled down. Why I let Charlotte leave me behind the day Maisy was born. Why I never came back here to the city where I was raised. Where my brothers still live.
Itâs because I have always wanted more than I have.
Iâm a selfish, greedy motherfucker and thatâs never going to change.
Wald has my zipper down now. Iâm still holding his cock through his jeans. Heâs hard, and Iâm hard, and thereâs no way weâre not doing this.
He pulls my cock out and starts to jerk me off. Leaning his chest into my back. His lips kissing my neck.
âCome on,â he says.
I turn my head a little. I can feel his breath on the side of my cheek. His lips drag along the stubble of my jaw until he catches the corner of my mouth with his teeth.
Brooke is moaning in the other room and I turn my head back to watch. Huck is climbing up her stomach, kissing it as he unbuckles his belt and gets his pants open. He pulls his cock out and fists it, her looking up at him. He takes her hand and wraps it around his shaft and gives her a little push. A little encouragement.
Brooke begins to tug on him, their eyes still locked together.
Wald squeezes my dick, reminding me who Iâm with right now.
I lean into the doorjamb. My right hand behind me, squeezing Waldâs dick as he gets his pants undone and pulls himself out. He hands it to me.
Thatâs the only way to describe that move. He takes my hand and places it over his cock and I automatically begin to mimic Brooke as she jerks Huck in the other room.
Sheâs got her mouth open now. Still looking up at my friend like heâs got all the answers.
Waldâs hands are on my hips. He presses forward until his cock is rubbing up against my ass. One hand slides down along the diagonal muscle of my waist and grabs my balls.
I suck in a breath of air and close my eyes. Holding in the moan that wants to escape.
But Brooke is giving Huck a sloppy blow job and I want to watch it.
So I open my eyes and see Huck staring back at me.
âCome here,â he whispers.
