While most of us enjoy mysteries and thrillers, every once in a
while we need to read a book in a different genre. I have a fun and exciting
new book to tell you about today that fits that bill – SHOPPING FOR
A BILLIONAIRE’S WIFE by Julia
Kent.
I’m delighted to be participating in the Julia’s book blitz

giveaway (INT) for a $50 iTunes Gift Card plus a signed copy of SHOPPING
FOR A BILLIONAIRE’S WIFE. Please see the end of the post for more

Who needs
a SWAT team to escape from their own wedding? Me.
My
Momzilla turned us into hostages at our own ceremony, so Declan and I are
getting married the good old-fashioned way, just like everybody else.
By
calling in his private security team, stealing away before the ceremony by
helicopter, connecting to his corporate jet and heading for Las Vegas.
The
Boston wedding of the year is about to become a trashy Elvis drive-thru
ceremony.
Until the
best man spills the beans and Mom, Dad, my sisters, his brothers, my maid of
honor, my friend Josh, and even my cat, Chuckles, all come along for the ride.
I can’t
win, can I?
Oh. Yeah.
I already did.
Love
conquers all.
Even my
crazy family.
SHOPPING FOR A BILLIONAIR’E WIFE is the 8th book in the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Shopping for a Billionaire series. After Declan convinces Shannon to escape from their own wedding minutes before the ceremony begins, the madcap adventures are just getting started. When the mother of the bride pries their location out of the tortured best man, the whole crazy crew follows the bride and groom to Las Vegas in this romantic comedy from Julia Kent.

EXCERPT:
We are at a private airport I’ve never seen before. The sky is
that glorious shade of blue that seems to deepen as you look up, with a
smattering of clouds that draw the eye to them. It’s a perfect, idyllic July
day in Massachusetts.
A great day for an outdoor wedding.
Declan and the helicopter pilot, whose name I never caught,
exchange a few words in Russian before I rib my soon-to-be husband and whisper,
“Would you please speak in English?”
“Why?”
“Why?”
He just stares at me with that intimidatingly blank face.
“That doesn’t work, you know,” I tell him with a pointed
sneer. Or, at least, I try to sneer. I’m not so good at the sneering thing.
That’s more Jessica Coffin’s area of expertise.
He doesn’t twitch a muscle. For whatever reason, he doesn’t
want me to know what he and the pilot are talking about. Fine. Fine!
But this alpha-male dominant crap – you know, the stuff I fell
in love with him for – is getting on my nerves.
“Declan, please,” I concede.
No change.
The exasperated hiss that comes out of me makes my body flush
with fury. “It’s our wedding day. I am supposed to be kissing you at the altar
right now while the minister pronounces us husband and wife. Instead, I
listened to you and went along with this crazy scheme to run off to Las Vegas
and leave everyone – everyone! — behind.”
Side note: I know that’s not true. The decision to ditch my
mother was mutual. But right now, I have zero leverage, and he’s giving me that
granite look like he’s an Easter Island statue, so I have to find some kind of
vulnerability in him.
I’m saving sex for the nuclear option.
