About this listen
An all-new stand-alone from New York Times best-selling 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 US 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.

Story
Ten years ago, my high school crush found me during senior finals week in the student parking lot with my car decorated with items you find behind a drugstore counter and a "Most Likely to..." banner that would make a pro blush. And by "pro", I don't mean golf. In under an hour, everything I knew about myself was turned upside down and inside out, just as our high school career was in its final hours.

Ever meet a hot billionaire while your hand's in a toilet in the men's room of one of his stores? No? So it really is just me. Hmm. When you're a mystery shopper, you get paid to humiliate yourself, all in the name of improving customer service. Romance isn't in my job description. But the day I met Declan McCormick it was love at first flush. Until I nearly castrated him with my EpiPen. How Hot Guy and Toilet Girl became an item involves my crazy mom, a trip to the ER, my homicidal cat, my fake wife, and true love.

But when a hero of mankind needs you, you do what you have to. Even if it compromises everything you know. And totally changes your life.

Fiercely protective of his small town in rural Maine, he's determined to save the family tree business and avoid his feelings at all costs. LA native Rachel Hart hates being underestimated almost as much as she hates this small town.

He's a billionaire heir. A grump supreme. Hater of people. Bigger hater of peopling with people. And my new fake boyfriend. "Emotionally unavailable" doesn’t even begin to describe Hayes Rutherford. He has more defenses than a nuclear missile silo. And he’s the ultimate catch of the century. At least, according to his bank statement. My job’s simple: Keep all interested ladies away from the walled-off heir, by pretending to be his one true love. But you know what they say about fake-dating a billionaire: It’s all fun and games, until the scandals start.

The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected? I wouldn’t be taking care of him alone.

I’ve got a list of people I absolutely don’t ever want to be stuck with on a boat, or a plane, or a train, and it starts and ends with the broody, grumpy, too-sexy-for-my-own good Axel Huxley. Also known as this romance novelist’s number one nemesis. The man is legendary for his mighty pen and his even mightier scowl. I tried to work together with the cocky thriller writer once upon a time, but the two of us are like vodka and good decisions. We don’t play well together.

Perky & Parker!
Whenever I want a feel good, happy, funny listen, I go to Julia Kent. This woman can write a story just like it was an ordinary day and find all the humor in every situation. Meet Persephone, better know as Perky. Several years ago, some compromising pictures of her were posted on the web. Even though they have been taken down, most people recognize her for the famous meme! Now the culprit, her ex-boyfriend, Parker is back and he wants her back! And our fun begins. These two are explosive, both in hilarity and chemistry. Every situation made me smile and their story is full of love and hope. I love getting to see Mal, Fiona and Will too, giving us cameos of friends we know and hope to get to know better soon! It's the perfect listen to "perk" you up and make you happy.
Erin Mallon narrates this series and a better choice could not have been made. Her talent for comedy is unsurpassed and she just zones in on the personality of each character. I love her and always know I am in for a treat when she performs.

Well Then
I enjoyed this story and love the fact that characters from book 1 are mentioned throughout, but I'm confused as to why Parker never investigated who really did "the thing" that traumatized Perky, since he has always maintained it wasn't him. I mean 5 years go by and he never looked into it with all the resources he has at his disposal, considering his career.

Bad karma
It was a cute story for this couple. I loved how it all tied in and covered why everything happened.
I just didn’t like how everyone kept almost dying.
Loved how the friends showed ranchyness but funny.
On some parts i thought the narrator was a lil too whiny. But she did a good job.

not as good as the 1st in the series but....
Not as good as the 1st in the series but still enjoyable. I'm hoping for more with Fiona's story.
Story = 3⭐
Narration = 4⭐
Overall rating = 3⭐
Let me just start by saying if you're looking for something with deep meaning and substance, and literary prose this isn't the story for you. But if your goal is to relax your brain with a light, entertaining read that falls more into the chik lit category plus a little extra sexy time, then jump right in and enjoy. There are some fun girl friends who talk about any and everything with each other, some fairly contrived moments of intrigue to add a little extra interest, and of course the romance. Erin Mallon did a good job with the narration. And this was a great way to keep myself entertained during the monotony of a treatment day when I was too tired and uncomfortable to focus on the pages of a book (or my Kindle). On a final note, I have to say that I'm not a fan of when author's promote books as being able to be read as a standalone even though it's part of a series only to have an epilogue that essentially reels you into the next book rather than completing the current one. It leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Too flip flop for me
I loved the first book but couldn’t get past chapter 5 in this one. Perky was just too “all over the place” for my enjoyment. Make a decision already, do you believe him or not?!! Toying with another persons life, sending mixed messages, and publicly embarrassing someone because you just “aren’t sure” is no way to treat someone.

Perky
Another great story in this series with a new couple to follow. I loved listening to this book (and it’s a good thing I was home and not out since I kept laughing out of no where) and am excited to see what comes next. Great writing and great narration.

Tickled to Death!!🤣😂😆
Julia Kent is a new author to me and I am tickled to death with Parker and Persephone’s second chance at a relationship!! 🤣😂😴😆 Perky is quirky, fun, sensitive and really knows how to hold a grudge!! Parker is persistent, honest, resourceful and compassionate!! Together they are a force to be reckoned with!! However, Perky almost missed out on a wonderful relationship with a magnificent man because of her stubbornness and refusal to listen to an explanation of her erroneous beliefs! Parker was obliging with anything Perky required of him for the chance to clear up the erroneous assumptions about him which resulted in his breakup with Perky. But I don’t know if I believe a person would continue trying to prove his innocence for 5 years if the person insisted on clinging to their delusions!! Erin Mallon’s narration was phenomenal as always and made the story come alive in my mind!
