I love an age-gap/silver fox romance。 I'm sure that has a lot to do with my own age-gap romance - or maybe it's just because there's something totally yummy about a silver fox。 Anyway， this one is Katie and Patrick's love story， and I absolutely loved this pair。 Their journey to HEA is sweet， sexy， and， in true Julia Kent form， hilarious。 You can't read this book without laughing， and we can all use some of that。 Needless to say， Never Fall for the Bride's Father is everything I've come to expec I love an age-gap/silver fox romance。 I'm sure that has a lot to do with my own age-gap romance - or maybe it's just because there's something totally yummy about a silver fox。 Anyway， this one is Katie and Patrick's love story， and I absolutely loved this pair。 Their journey to HEA is sweet， sexy， and， in true Julia Kent form， hilarious。 You can't read this book without laughing， and we can all use some of that。 Needless to say， Never Fall for the Bride's Father is everything I've come to expect from Julia Kent。 I thoroughly enjoyed the first Whatever It Takes romance， and this one even more so。 I can't wait for the next in the series， and I'm thinking I may need to visit with this couple again while I wait。 。。。more

Ms。 Kent， I wanted more of Katie and Patrick。 Does she get to be a mom。 Do they get married？ I hope all is revealed in the next book？ I absolutely loved this story。 James and that Jon guy are douche$。 Patrick is wonderful。 Katie deserved to find her true love。 Mia is a doll。 I loved how she tried to sell the positives of her dad to Katie。 The speed dating scene was hilarious。 Then the restaurant switch and dump was priceless。

Julia Kent’s new series， Whatever It Takes， is going strong。 This time it’s Katie Gallagher’s turn for romance。 After years as one of James McCormick’s pieces of “arm candy”， she’s determined to break the cycle of falling for successful older men who throw money at problems， and who don’t appreciate or value her。 When she has a run in with a dashing older Uber thief， she’s even more convinced that she needs to avoid her usual type。Patrick Cooper is a highly respected art authenticator with a ver Julia Kent’s new series， Whatever It Takes， is going strong。 This time it’s Katie Gallagher’s turn for romance。 After years as one of James McCormick’s pieces of “arm candy”， she’s determined to break the cycle of falling for successful older men who throw money at problems， and who don’t appreciate or value her。 When she has a run in with a dashing older Uber thief， she’s even more convinced that she needs to avoid her usual type。Patrick Cooper is a highly respected art authenticator with a very successful company。 A widower， he’s happily looking forward to his only child， Mia’s， wedding。 Worried that he’s going to be late for an important meeting about said wedding， he ends up hijacking a most attractive woman’s Uber。 Although he offers to share， or pay for another， the irate woman refuses。 The last he sees of her is in the pouring rain。 And then he finds her umbrella on the floor of the car。This romance is wonderful！ The characters are both likable and relatable。 Even as Patrick starts to open up to the idea moving forward， his frequent silent conversations with his Clemmie as he prepares for their daughter’s wedding are heart warming。 Even as Katie learns more about Patrick as a father and widower， she fights the high voltage attraction she feels for him。 （Sigh） You’re really going to love this one！ 。。。more

I've fallen for another Julia Kent series。 After her business partner and best friend， Kari found her HEA （Never Plan a Billionaire's Wedding）， Katie decides to finally end her "casual"， long standing relationship with James McCormick， a much older wealthy man， and a familiar character from the author's Shopping series。 Due to a unfortunate misunderstanding， Katie gets off on the wrong foot when she meets the MMC， Patrick， when he happens to be the father of her new wedding client。 Patrick tries I've fallen for another Julia Kent series。 After her business partner and best friend， Kari found her HEA （Never Plan a Billionaire's Wedding）， Katie decides to finally end her "casual"， long standing relationship with James McCormick， a much older wealthy man， and a familiar character from the author's Shopping series。 Due to a unfortunate misunderstanding， Katie gets off on the wrong foot when she meets the MMC， Patrick， when he happens to be the father of her new wedding client。 Patrick tries several ways to make amends， but Katie grows more livid with each attempt。 She can't help comparing Patrick to James and is trying to avoid ending up in another non-commited relationship。 At the advice of his daughter， he decides to back off， but fate has other ideas when they continue to cross paths outside of the wedding planning。 I loved Patrick's character and his devotion to his daughter and the memory of his deceased wife。 I LOVED the cameo appearances and cameo mentions of characters from Kent's other series。 Hurray Julia Kent！ This was a fun read with emotional memories of the past blending with the present。 。。。more

I read the first book in this new series by Julia Kent and could not wait to read this next book。 This book hooked me in the first chapter as all of her books do！ Katie owns with her partner a wedding protection company。 She is on her way to meet a client in the pouring rain， when her Uber arrives and as she is getting ready to get in it a man is doing the same and ends up taking her ride。 She is furious， wet and very unhappy when she arrives at such meeting。 Meeting Mia， her client， who introdu I read the first book in this new series by Julia Kent and could not wait to read this next book。 This book hooked me in the first chapter as all of her books do！ Katie owns with her partner a wedding protection company。 She is on her way to meet a client in the pouring rain， when her Uber arrives and as she is getting ready to get in it a man is doing the same and ends up taking her ride。 She is furious， wet and very unhappy when she arrives at such meeting。 Meeting Mia， her client， who introduces her father， Patrick， the Uber stealing man and a widower， she composes herself to give the best of what she does to her client。 Despite a rough meeting Patrick is drawn to Katie and Katie not so much and he is the bride's father along with her romantic life hasn't been good。 We have some funny scenes that will make you laugh out loud and swoony scenes that have you saying aww。 As I kept reading I kept thinking will Katie and Patrick get together， cause they have chemistry， will Katie get the romantic relationship she wants but most of all will she get her happily ever after。 This book has all I look for in a book and I can not wait to see what comes next in this series。 。。。more

So much fun， laughs and emotion are wrapped up in this newest book by Julia Kent。 I admit to some trepidation with Patrick and Katie’s mostly “off” relationship， they start out with an epic misnomer， move through and reconcile， only to run into emotional obstacles。 There are many truly beautiful written sentiments here。 Well written and fun， do not miss this one。

Katie Gallagher is the person to go to if you want your wedding to go off without a hitch。 She's used her wedding-protection skills on behalf of rock stars， A-listers， princes， high society， and political leaders。 Her own romantic life， however， needs a relationship protector。 She gravitates towards older， powerful， affluent men， but she's finally had enough of being relegated to arm candy。 She wants the true love she protects for her clients， so she's now looking for a different kind of man。On Katie Gallagher is the person to go to if you want your wedding to go off without a hitch。 She's used her wedding-protection skills on behalf of rock stars， A-listers， princes， high society， and political leaders。 Her own romantic life， however， needs a relationship protector。 She gravitates towards older， powerful， affluent men， but she's finally had enough of being relegated to arm candy。 She wants the true love she protects for her clients， so she's now looking for a different kind of man。On the way to a client meeting， Katie and Patrick have whatever is the opposite of a meet-cute and get off on whatever is worse than the wrong foot。 Setting aside everything that went catastrophically wrong， Katie behaves professionally， mostly。 Patrick Cooper is the bride’s father， so Katie will keep a professional distance and interact with Patrick only as much as the wedding planning requires。Can we please talk about Patrick？ Father of the bride， self-made man， highly specialized skillset， widely respected， mature man， and widower of three years。 But when he meets Katie？ This suave， sophisticated， man-about-town turns into a bumbling middle-school boy trying to ask the pretty girl to the eight-grade dance。 The more he tries， the worse he makes things， and he's so freaking endearing in the process！ I was cheering him on hoping that even if he couldn’t get it right Katie would see through to his beautiful heart。 Oh my stars y'all， this one is an entertaining， phenomenal read from the first page to the last。 Katie and Patrick are so relatable， and their budding romance is charming and authentic。 I devoured this in one sitting and hated for it to end。 As romcoms go， this delightful， humorous， heartfelt story is one of my all-time favorites。 Start reading this one right away， and let Katie and Patrick run away with your heart。 。。。more
