AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENTOne 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 … happened. That’s right.
I’m a meme. A really gross one.
You’re 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 U.S.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.

I really enjoyed this second chance romance. I enjoyed the first book but this one was even better. Will be looking forward to book 3!
I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest!
This was a great book !
Perky can’t believe that Parker would showed up at her friends wedding.
Parker can’t believe that Perky is at his friend’s wedding.
Because of a bad meme, they have not talked to each other for over 5 years.
The chemistry and attraction is still there,
So what is Perky and Parker to do ?
Loved the characters + the storytelling !
It has all the ingredients that you need for a great book!
I can’t wait for the next book in this series.
For a laugh, pick up Julia Kent’s newest release! If you enjoyed Fluffy, Perky is a standalone about Mallory’s BFF. When Perky’s private photos are posted online, she’s ready to get revenge on her ex, now a congressman…
Second chance romance
Rom-Com
Hilarious
Enemies-to-lovers romance
GET IT!! You’re going to love it!
I’ve been anxiously waiting for this book since I read Fluffy, and it doesn’t disappoint. Perky is over the top, absolutely hilarious, and totally swoon-worthy. Parker and Persephone are lovable, both separate and together, and the story is lighthearted and fun. Once again, the secondary characters are just as much fun as our romantic couple, and we get tons of witty banter between this group. This one is everything I want in a romantic comedy and then some, and I can’t wait to see what’s next for the crazy bunch of friends.
There is a fine line between love and hate especially when it is someone you thought was your soulmate. Perky became the internet viral joke that just kept going due to Parker. Five years later he is back. This book is full of feels. Once again Julia Kent knocks it out of the park. Grab a up of coffee and get Perky !!
Revenge shouldn’t be this adorable. Julia Kent takes an awkward situation and finds humor and heart. Perky takes a look at the bright side of a darkly, embarrassing situation. One bad choice, five years ago has come back to haunt Perky and she blames her ex, Parker. Careers may have changed, hearts have obviously been broken, but the attraction is still there. Can a bad decision and an embarrassing meme, be the second chance these two have been waiting for? There’s always a smile waiting to be found in a Julia Kent romance.
I loved this one. It’s a funny read. Persephone (Perky) is a wild card, you never really know what she’s going to do. Her friends are just as fun as her. The banter between all of characters is funny. Perky was the unfortunate victim of a meme with her in it having been shared all over. She blames Parker, her ex, for it. It’s been five years since she has seen or talked to Parker. They are reunited at Will and Mallory rehearsal rehearsal dinner. If you read Fluffy, Will and Mallory in this one are the Will and Mallory from Fluffy. There’s a lot of tension between Parker and Perky. Parker keeps claiming he didn’t release the meme. Parker seems to be a sweet decent guy and I kind of sided him with pretty early on in the story. Perky’s body is definitely ready to forgive and move on with Parker but her head wants revenge. I was so rooting for these two but really wasn’t sure if they would get their happy ever after. . The ending has me ready and waiting for Feisty.
Laugh out Loud funny- Lana ~White Hot Reads
Perky and Parker are hilarious and hot at the same time. Perky is hell bent of destroying Parker’s life after hers was ruined 5 years ago. Parker denies that he didn’t do it but Perky wont believe him. The attraction and pull that these two still have after 5 years apart is so apparent but will it allow Perky to forgive and believe. All the usual suspects are in this book from Fluffy and I can’t wait for Feisty’s story next.
Perky is a hilarious ride. I was rooting for Persephone and Parker from the minute they showed up on the page together. Perky is as crazy in this book as she was in Fluffy, and Parker is dreamy in every sense of the word. Who doesn’t love a guy who carries a relentless torch for someone for five years?!?! Read this book! You won’t be sorry!
Perky is a second chance, steamy romcom with a message about forgiveness and friendship.
Persephone (nicknamed Perky) is just a tad stubborn, but full of passion. Anytime her and Parker are in the same vicinity sparks ignite and clothes seem to vanish. They are one hot pair. The more you learn about the betrayal, you understand why she walked away and had to protect her heart. If she had stayed it wouldn’t have taken much to give in to Parker and his talented tongue.
Parker is a smooth talking congressman, everyone loves him actually, but when he’s around Persephone he’s a sweet talking man (see where were your thoughts regarding Parker’s tongue ;). The temperature rises and I can see why Persephone has a hard time keeping her hands (or lips) off the man. From the very beginning he starts out apologizing and reitorizes that he did not betray her. He stays true and he is a very likeable character.
Even though Perky can be read as a standalone, I will encourage those who haven’t read Fluffy to pick it up. First, because it’s a great book, second, because there are a lot of references I believe you will enjoy more if you are familiar with it. Like–Mallory is currently planning her wedding with Will, whom we meet in Fluffy. Persephone hasn’t seen Parker for five years since he currently resides in another state, but Will knows him, wasn’t aware of the falling out between them, but has invited Parker to stand in as one of his groomsmen. Hence, time for a second chance with the girl who ghosted him after a huge mess.
Persephone spends quite a bit of time talking about Parker’s arrival in town with her two best friends, Mallory and Fiona, which sometimes makes reading Perky like watching a “Sex and the City” episode. Both hilarious and highly entertaining.
When Parker and Persephone are on the page together, dim the lights, grab a glass of wine and prepare for the feels. The magic between them is like nothing I’ve ever read.
4.5 stars
Perky is an entertaining read with quirky characters that make you laugh!
The banter in this book was outrageous at times which made it a real fun story to read!
Perky aka Persephone’s past comes back to town and needless to say she melts in his presence! You can literally feel the chemistry between her and Parker! Can he redeem himself though and what is it about small spaces for those two!! Lol im serious!! You have to read it for yourself to understand what I mean!!
I especially loved Perky’s friends, they were a laugh a minute!
A great story to read, it will definitely perk you right up!
If you are looking for a laugh out loud, swoony, and a tale of forgiveness on an epic scale look no further than this new release by Julia Kent.
We were briefly introduced to Perky (Persephone to some) in Fluffy, but don’t worry you can totally read this as a stand alone!
The awful, embarrassing and tragic event that happened to Perky five years ago has really shaped her into the gal she is now. She is stubborn in her mind set of who to blame for this, but not all is what it seems.
Enter Parker, the supposed perpetrator of the event that changed Perky’s life. He is trying so hard to get back in Perky’s good graces, to proclaim his innocence.
The chemistry between Perky and Parker hasn’t diminished at all in the five years they have been apart. Sparks fly and the heat between these two is magnificent!
You are going to catch yourself laughing out loud, you are going to find yourself demanding some sort of revenge satisfaction and you are going to find yourself cheering hard for the happily ever after that both Perky and Parker deserve!
I absolutely love the worlds that Ms. Kent creates in her stories, you are going to get carried away into this story and won’t want to leave when it’s over!
I absolutely cannot wait for Feisty’s story next!!
Amazingly, fun read and listen, Erin Mallon does a great job with this narration. My favorite so far. One discretionary lapse, changes the lives of those closest, and mayhem ensues. Julia Kent’s signature humor, snark and laugh out loud idioms are abundant in this newest book. There is steam romance and HEA. Another top listen and read, add this to your “top read” list.
What happens when the man you love betrays you in the worst of ways? Perky (or Persephone as she was when we first met her in Fluffy) is quirky…but in the best of ways. She is Mallory’s best friend (along with Fiona) but she has her issues. Mainly being the butt of a joke that wasn’t a joke. Despite everything she has done in the last 5 years to erase the pain, it is constantly with her and the meme that started it all still floats around in some people’s minds. Never does she expect to run into the man who caused all that pain. But one thing is clear, she has nothing but revenge on her mind. The banter between Perky and Parker is always fun and the chemistry between them is so very clear, but how can you forgive? How can you forget? While always fun to read the banter, the wild, off the wall facts (yes google was my friend quite a bit in this story lol), there was a whole lot of depth in this story. Can you ever love again when you know you found the one you were truly meant for? The right for privacy in such a large social media world? Does that even exist in this day and age? Perky must learn to forgive and she must learn to use her power for good. Will she? But I will forever remember the video of the spider and that will have me gasping with laughter…and cringing because….well you will just have to read it to know what I’m talking about. And for the record, Will reinforces why he will forever be my Julia Kent book boyfriend 🙂
Ok..so while this is a standalone, it’s also a series and I have to say, I absolutely LOVE how well book 1 led into book 2 and I now most likely need books 3 and 4, so very well done!
Perky and Parker are adorable. Like they can’t help their attraction and love though Perky is trying really hard not to cave in (or maybe not that much lol). I loved them together and the fact that their story starts exactly as the first book ends, it’s like having just one biiig book!!
