Description

I’m a professional chickenblocker.


Except “chicken” is a euphemism.


I get paid to follow a womanizing troglodyte who thinks rules are for other people and that my pants are the next pair he’s getting into.


Dream on.


Bet your first professional job didn’t involve babysitting an extremely hot, muscle-bound Scottish Highlander with an ego the size of a kilt and a libido bigger than his…well…


Chicken.


Keeping Scottish football (that’s ‘soccer” to us Americans) player Hamish McCormick away from inappropriate scandals while he does product endorsement campaigns is my mission.


No problem.


Until Hamish decides I’m his next scandal.


And maybe more….


Shopping for a Highlander is an enemies-to-lovers, slow burn romance that opens with a surprise kiss and ends with a happily ever after. This sports comedy in the New York Times bestselling Shopping for a Billionaire world contains no actual chickens, but it has plenty of locker room scenes, a fake relationship, very real banter, and more. You do not have to have read the previous books in this world, though after you read about Amy and Hamish, you’ll want to. ;)

    Having read almost every book written,by Julia Kent, this one was a no thinker. The Shopping series continues with the story of Hamish and Amy. Hamish is a Scottish football player, popular, sexy, and has no mouth filter. Related to the McCormicks, he becomes involved in their craziness. His exploits have caused him to begin to lose some of his business promoters, so his manager decides to hire someone to help him control his extra-curricular activities. Amy is single young lady, fresh out of college, she applies to work for the company that represents Hamish. She, unwillingly, is the one assigned to monitor his activities. She doesn’t trust him, because every time they are around each other, he constantly flirts with her. She does go ahead a takes the job, and the craziness begins. The banter between Hamish, and Amy is constant throughout the entirety of the book. There is several lol moments, and several misunderstandings. Amy learns about Hamish’s insecurities, and Hamish learns about Amy’s insecurities. They begin to develop feelings for each other, and these feelings become love. Hamish expresses his love for Amy in an outstanding way. They finally reach their HEA. I’ve read the whole Shopping series, and highly recommend this book, and all the Shopping series.

    This is Shopping for a Highlander #2 written by the uber amusing and ever talented Julia Kent. This entire series is a hoot! You can't help but love Hamish and his over-the-top sexiness. He has been after Amy since the first time he met her. Now she has the unenviable job of trying to keep him from embarrassing his sponsors and keep his sexual escapades out of the public eye. Do you think that is easy? Not even for Amy Jacoby, the most focused of the Jacoby family! It's gonna be a bumpy ride!! Now to convince Ms Kent to write the next one!! Please Ms Kent! Can you get on that for me
  • Love this sweet and fun story

    I really enjoyed Shopping For A Highlander. To be honest I didn’t read the first book in this series, Shopping For A Turkey but I doesn’t feel like I was missing anything and this story read very nicely as a standalone. Recent MBA graduate, Amy Jacoby is about to start a new job with major growth potential, but there is one big hurdle she has to overcome. She has to try and keep Scottish football star, Hamish McCormack out of trouble. Amy’s singular determination is both her strong point and her downfall as she tries to navigate professional integrity and personal feelings. “You've been wound so tight for so long. So focused.” Sweet, swoony and sometimes laugh out loud funny, Amy and Hamish’s story is completely entertaining from start to finish. -5 Stars-

    I swear this series just gets better and better! Now this book can totally be read as a stand-alone, but listen dear followers....Read this whole series to fully immerse yourself in the hilariously, smoking hot goodness that is Julia Kent! This is Hamish and Amy's story.  And what a whirlwind, slow burn, chaotic relationship! Forced proximity, heart and head competing for dominance and realizing that you have more in common than you think is at the heart of Hamish and Amy's union. Hamish comes off as the ultimate playboy, a huge sports star that is making it with the ladies. When Hamish and Amy have run into each other at family functions over the years, sparks fly and kisses are stolen. But as the story continues, you see what a beautiful soul that Hamish has and what he will do to protect the people that he loves. Amy is the youngest Jacoby sister, the control freak, the fresh from college MBA looking to start her career. When a career opportunity comes, it's hard for her to say no, but boy does she think she is in for the ride of her life! I loved the bits of secrets that were revealed and the laughs that Ms. Kent provides. I love "visiting" with the Jacoby and McCormick families! 
  • Crazy and fun.

    Another top read by Julia Kent. This one took a little navigation regarding the Scottish slang, but well, worth the “head scratching 🤔” and online dictionary. The Jacoby crazy and now the McCormick Scot crazy “ya numpty”. Do not miss this one, so many laughs included, a light fun read and great addition to the Shopping Series.
  • Hamy and Amy, Oh My!

    Ah, Hamy and Amy! Marie certainly had something when she paired these two up, however jokingly it may have been. This starts with Hamish kissing the life out of Amy at her graduation, and Amy giving as good as she gets. With her boyfriend standing right there. Yeah. And it just keeps getting better as Amy is hired to be Hamish’s handler and inserts a no sexual relationship clause in her contract—tempting fate much? I’d been looking forward to this book and was not disappointed. It was a revelation learning more about the youngest Jacoby daughter and the “McWhoremick” cousin, the nuances of who they are, and how they may be just what the other needs. As always, a job well done Julia Kent!
