Description

Snowbound. Sounds so romantic, with visions of cuddling before a roaring fire, hot chocolate spiked with brandy, and a secret elopement. 

Wait. What? 

My fiancé's father won't stop trying to turn our pending wedding into a three-ring media circus so he can get free publicity for his family's Fortune 500 company. My mother has decided she's done with All Things Wedding and asks her teacup Chihuahua for mother-of-the-bride advice.

They've all gone certifiably mad. 

Then the stress from the wedding puts my mother in the hospital, I scream at my future father-in-law in front of a camera crew and the video goes viral, and the romantic wedding that started with Andrew's grand Pride and Prejudice proposal looks less like Jane Austen and more like Dostoyevsky. 

So what do you do when you're a fixer and you can't fix something? 

You give up on it. 

Not on Andrew, silly. 

The wedding.

Shopping for a CEO's Wife is the 8th book in Julia Kent's New York Times bestselling Shopping series. As Shannon and Declan enjoy their newlywed bliss, Andrew's father wants to exploit Amanda and Andrew's nuptials, much to Amanda's chagrin. Can she learn to stand up to her future father-in-law and fight for what's right? But the real question is: will Spritzy the teacup Chihuahua end up being a flower girl?

Biography:

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge, with more than 2.5 million eBook, print, and audiobooks sold and 5 appearances on the New York Times bestseller list. Her books have been translated into German, Italian, and French, with more languages coming soon.

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, three children, and an adorable Havanese doggo named Walter.

    This is book #12, from the amazingly funny Shopping For A Billionaire series. This book can be read as a standalone novel. It will contain spoilers, and you will have greater understanding, should you read the series in order. Andrew & Amanda have been though enough already. Now, as they plan their wedding the press and extended family are on their backs wanting the wedding their way. Has everyone on earth, including her mother forgotten who is really getting married here? Amanda has had it. With everyone - literally everyone - wanting a piece or a picture of her, it is getting to be too much. She has the perfect line in the book. "I didn't fall in love with a CEO. I fell in love with a man." Swoon. This is another of some of the best romance books ever written. I am a firm believer that all lover's of romance should get this series. I laugh, I cry, my breath stops, and my heart starts beating again. I loved every page! ***This ARC copy was given in exchange for an honest review only.

  • Best one yet!!

    I love Andrew and Amanda. I couldn't wait to see how a wedding for them would play out after the amount of time they spent going back in forth early on. With the constant attack from the paparazzi and a meddling soon-to-be father in law that makes Marie's antics look like a walk in the park, it amazing that these two still wanted to get married. There were a few times that I wondered if Amanda might just be better off hitting the bricks but then I remembered how absolutely perfect Andrew and Amanda are together and pulled for them to stand up for what they wanted. This book had me feeling everything: laughing until I cried, crying for their pain, and everything in between. Every book in this series is better than the one before it and I can't wait to see what's up for them next! *This is my voluntary review of an advanced reader copy*

  • Extremely Witty and Wildly Romantic Read!!!

    Shopping For A CEO’s Wife, another in the vastly popular Shopping For A Billionaire series, is the epitome of romantic comedy. Extremely witty, wildly romantic, and absolutely enchanting, this book sets the bar at an impossible level for romantic comedy, one that no one can surpass save for Julia Kent herself. The plot is engaging, the imagery vivid, and the characters phenomenal. These characters that I have so fallen in love with over the course of the series draw you into the story like no others. They are so real and raw and beautifully flawed in all the best ways. You just can't help but become invested in their lives, and rooting for them becomes second nature. This book will make you laugh, make you cry, and make you believe in love all over again. Beyond that, it just makes you feel good. Period. What more could you really ask for? I very highly recommend this book and anxiously await the next book in the series, Shopping For A Billionaire's Baby. *I received an ARC of this book from the author and voluntarily chose to review. All opinions are my own.

  • So Much Fun Could not Sleep had to finish!!!

    Highly entertaining, Laugh Out Loud, steaming hot, Can't wait to marry you and start blazing our own path, gotta have you now romance. Not exactly sure how she does it, but this series just keeps getting better and better with each new adventure. (just when I firmly believe she can't possibly top the last one she inserts "tugging" into the normal flow of conversation.) Amanda and Andrew’s nuptials are turned into a all out war between James, the Media and the used to be happy couple (can they be happy again). Andrew's father really needs a new hobby to take his time up now that he has stepped down as CEO and he decides he just might have a future in television... (and he is all to willing to use any means necessary) So much for a small, quite affair. Just can't get enough of this insanely fun group of people. Wish I could give it more than 5 stars. (needs like 10)

    So we start out with a steamy scene in a hot tub. But all the sexiness disappears when the paparazzi show up. The moment with the hawk was the second I knew I had to read the rest of the book. Wow!

    In this third installment of the Shopping for a CEO series, it's Andrew and Amanda's turn to get married and deal with all the insanity that ensues. This time it's James who is the "Dadzilla" and recognizes no boundaries. His shenanigans to optimize publicity about the wedding to raise interest in Anterdec bring on an avalanche of paparazzi upon the couple and threatens to ruin everything. Declan, Shannon, Marie, Pam, Josh, and Amy all make appearances and we get to see more of Terry, Carol and Hamish. Julia Kent has done it again! You fall in love even more with Andrew and Amanda and can't help but cheer them on. This ARC received in exchange for an honest review.
