Spotlight
with author Julia Kent
Hello
again! I am so glad to see everyone popping back in. Today I am
sharing a new-to-me author. I thought that the premise of this story
sounded interesting and figured it would pique the interest of
several of you. I would try to explain it, but as the blurb says,
“It's … complicated”. So rather than try to give you the deets
and make a muck of it, I figure it is better for you all to read for
yourself. Please allow me to introduce to the blog:
**JULIA
KENT**
**BIO**
Julia
Kent turned to writing romance novels after learning that she could
not work as a fighter pilot because her fear of flying disqualified
her. Turning to her second love, she became a dog groomer, but had to
abandon that job after adopting too many strays. Writing about very
real, very flawed people is a natural extension of her life and,
well, her. She lives on the east coast with her partner, two small
children, seventeen dogs that weigh less than fifteen pounds each,
and a monthly consumption of Nutella, brie and french bread that
makes cardiologists cringe.
She
is originally from Ohio.
She
loves to hear from her readers by email at jkentauthor@gmail.com,
on Twitter, and on Facebook. You can also visit my blog.

Acts of Crazy is a standalone, full-length novel (300+ pages, 85,000
words) featuring Darla Jo(sephine) Jennings, the 22-year-old niece of
Josie Mendham from the Her Two Billionaires series. It has, like many
New Adult novels, an exploration of sexuality for the three main
characters, doesn't shy away from mature content, and Darla has a
sailor's mouth.

"It was funny and irreverant like Wallbanger, but deep and moving like Barbara Elsbourg's Strangers. That is a tough mix to pull off. I should warn you though, this book should come with a surgeon general's warning: 'Do not start this book if you have any where to be, anything to do or need to pretend to be remotely interested in conversations with breathing human beings that are not currently also reading this book.' Enjoy!" -- Amazon reader review
"Random Acts of Crazy one of the best if not the best books I've read in a long time. Could not put it down. I laugh so hard my side hurt. Thank God I didn't pee myself!! Congratulations on such an awesome read." -- Goodreads reader review
"Be warned, this is not your mother's romance. It's hard and gritty and smacks you in the face like that burst of heat when you first open an oven door, which is exactly what makes it a refreshing change from a typical sticky sweet love story." -- Featured Staff Pick from Cat at All Romance eBooks

**RANDOM
ACTS OF CRAZY**
**BLURB**
I
never intended to pick up a naked hitchhiker wearing nothing but a
guitar. A guitar. Really. I don't collect guys like that (don't ask
what kind of guys I do collect), but when you spot a blonde, tanned,
sculpted man with a gorgeous smile and his thumb poking up and
practically begging you to stop - you stop.
And I definitely never thought I'd be staring into the bright blue eyes of Trevor Connor, the lead singer for Random Acts of Crazy, an indie rock star I followed like the slobbering fileshare fangirl I am. How he came to be nude and lost six hundred miles from home is quite the tale, but how we fell in love is even more unreal.
Because someone like Trevor Connor, headed to Harvard Law next year, isn't supposed to want someone like me, a rural Ohio chick majoring in Boredom at Convenience Store University who is all curves and frizzy blonde hair and manners so unpolished they have sharp edges that make you bleed.

But
he did.
When his best friend, Joe Ross, the bass player for Random Acts of Crazy and a man who makes Calvin Klein models look like Shrek, drove eleven hours through the night to rescue him, though, it got real complicated. It's one thing to like two different guys and be torn.
What do you do, though, when maybe - just maybe - you don't have to choose?
As my Aunt Josie says sometimes, "It's always complicated."

AH,
Nutella. I, as well as several of my blogger friends, also love the
fabulous, sinful, decadence that is Nutella. When I found a 2# jar at
Sam's Club, I SQUEEEED right there in the isle. *truth* SO do you all
see what I mean by complicated? Exactly. But it still grabs you, does
it not? Well, I want to know if it grabbed you or not, so give me a
minute of your time if you would and throw your feedback out there. I
would love to read it. Tell what you did or didn't like, if you have
read this author before, anything about the post.
I
would like to thank Ms. Kent for popping in to spend some time with
us today. I hope that you all enjoyed your time spent with us today.
And as always, if you were caught by what you read here today, be
sure to buy a copy of this book for yourself and support this author.
I will see you all soon. But until then …
HAPPY
READING!!!
