AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT

I’m not too proud to admit that finding Mr. Right involves swiping right. Right? Welcome to dating in avocado toastland.

Here I am, on my first blind date, ever, courtesy of a smartphone app and my two annoying best friends.

So what is Chris “Fletch” Fletcher doing, walking across the room, looking at his phone like he’s pattern matching a picture to find a real person he’s never met before?

Oh.

Oh, no.

The guy I drop-kicked in seventh grade cannot be my blind date. The guy who earned me this infernal nickname.

That’s right.

Feisty.

More from New York Times bestselling author Julia Kent as Fiona “Feisty” Gaskill gets her chance at love – drop-kick included.

Excerpt

“Fletch,” I start, walking into my office, waving him on. As we pass by the children, they snicker and whisper, the girls more stirred up than the boys. We reach the office, I close the door, and ask, “Why are you here?”
 
“I came to see you because I knew this was your lunch break and you’ve been ignoring my texts and calls.”
 
“Maybe I need some space.”
 
“I respect that.”
 
“Clearly, you don’t.”
 
“Look, Fiona, I’m not here to argue with you. Or to crowd you or upset you. The opposite, actually. I realized our wires have been crossed and it was better to just come to you, face to face, and say what needs to be said.”
 
“You couldn’t wait until I wasn’t working?”
 
“If you’d answer my texts and calls, I could.”
 
“Fair enough. What do you want to say? What needs to be said?”
 
“I would like to ask you out on a date.”
 
“A date?”
 
“Yes.”
 
“Why?”
 
“Because I like you.”
 
“That’s it?”
 
“Isn’t that enough?”
 
“After seventeen years of teasing me, of that stupid nickname following me around like a poltergeist, now you suddenly decide that because I saved your nephew you want to date me?”
 
“It’s not like that.”
 
“Then what is it like?”
 
“I don’t know. Let me find out what it’s like by spending time with you. Let’s both find out what the other is really like. Do we have to define this? Let’s explore it.” He grins. “Let’s explore each other.”
 
“I think you’re trauma bonding with me and getting that confused with having feelings for me.”
 
“Trauma bonding?”
 
“We went through something emotionally intense together. You helped me. I saved your nephew. But that doesn’t mean we should date.”
 
“That’s not why I’m asking you out.”
 
“Is it because we kissed?”
 
“That’s not why, but it certainly adds to all the reasons why.”

My Thoughts <3

Gah, I love this series by Julia Kent and I was so happy to read Fiona AKA Feisty’s book. We had glimpses of her throughout the first two books and knew she was a strong character. This book jumps right smack dab in the middle of things and sets up things perfectly!

I adored Fiona’s book, but I felt that it fell a little bit flat for me in a few areas. Just a few though, other than a few odd moments and wanting a little more of a connection with her and the leading man, the book had a strong premise. I absolutely love the secondary characters and cannot wait for the next book. I am thrilled this is going to continue with at least one more book! 4 stars from me and looking forward to more!

PS: Thank you to Julia Kent and Give Me Books PR for allowing me an advanced copy of the book to read and review honestly.
 

Author Bio

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 19 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French and German, with more titles releasing in 2019.

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.
