Description

It’s Andrew and Amanda’s turn… in duplicate

We’re having twins.

Twins.

Which means my swimmers are stronger than my brother’s. I win.

Yeah, yeah, everyone can say it’s not a competition, but it is.

And we all know it.

Two babies at once means double the fun, and double the misery for my poor wife, Amanda. While I’m growing a Fortune 500 company, she’s growing two entire human beings out of nothing but orange cheese snacks and ice cream.

Do you have any idea how hard I’ve worked during this pregnancy, tracking down orange smoothies for her?

Not to mention being forced to Facetime into a childbirth class on perineal massage, rescuing Chuckles the cat from being shaved bald by my two-year-old niece, and fighting with a wife who has named the twins Lefty and Righty.

By the time we hit the ninth month, my entire world revolves around pleasing — and protecting — her. 

Even if it means humiliating myself in the name of love.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute, now.

Hold on.

Is she the one who’s winning?

Andrew and Amanda are BACK in the newest New York Times bestselling Shopping series book as they “beat” Declan and Shannon in the baby competition, but at what cost? As their future awaits them in the form of twins, Amanda and Andrew face ghosts from the past with wit, humor, and most of all — plenty of love.

Praise for Julia Kent’s Books:

"A frothy, fabulous romantic comedy." ~ Kirkus Reviews (review for Shopping for a Billionaire)

"Julia Kent is my go-to author when I want to laugh, swoon and just feel oh-so-good as I get lost in a romance! Hasty delivers on all those fronts!" ~ #1 New York Times Bestseller Lauren Blakely

"I love Hasty so much! I will never not smile every time I think about Hastings Monahan, her epic fall from the top, moving back home with her parents, her ex, and the cow thing. Bonus, Ian McCrory is a total swoon fest of a hero. Ten thousand stars!" ~ USA Today Bestselling Author Pippa Grant

"From the very first page of Hasty, I knew I was in for a ride. I felt as if I were seeped into the character's lives, feeling second-hand embarrassment and frustration as their paths crossed. I adored this book and I cannot wait to dive into another Julia Kent romance!" ~ New York Times Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan

"Hasty was the perfect antidote to 2020 - utterly adorable and deliciously satisfying." ~ USA Today Bestselling Author Melanie Harlow

"Holy rabbit milk cheese! Julia Kent is the only author capable of making me laugh my lady parts inside out! Hastings, is a heroine after my own heart. The things that come out of that woman's mouth are pure *chef's kiss.* I promise you Julia saved the best for last in this series!" Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Nana Malone

"Reading a Julia Kent book is like taking a vacation with your best friends. They'll make you laugh, tug on your heartstrings, and leave you wanting more." -- New York Times bestselling author Melissa Foster

"Kent and Reed create rom com magic in this friends to lovers romance. Laughter, tears, and all the swoons." -- USA Today Best Selling author Daisy Prescott

"Heartwarming and intensely emotional, Our Options Have Changed is witty, sexy and hilarious with a heroine you admire and a hero you can't help falling in love with." -- Helena Hunting, New York Times bestselling author

"Witty, sexy, funny and delightfully delicious--love it from beginning to end."-- USA Today bestselling author T Gephart

"An utterly charming celebration of the messiness of love, life, and motherhood... every woman deserves a Nick." -- Laurelin Paige, New York Times bestselling author

"This book is life. Funny, smart, and banter like no other. Fluffy is my top read this year!" - New York Times bestselling author Corinne Michaels

"Wickedly entertaining and clever, with spot on sexual tension and banter, you won't be able to put this one down - nor will you want to!" - #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken 

"When I need an insightful, amusing, beautifully written book, I pick up a Julia Kent novel. So, it was this mindset that I read Fluffy, a book about an accidental fluffer. Yes, that kind of fluffer. I usually laugh often while reading Julia's work, but this time, I LOL'd and ROTFLMAO'd with every dang page. Fluffy is the light and sweet side of Julia Kent, a perfect fluffernutter of romantic comedy: Very sweet, a little salty, and definitely delicious." - USA Today bestselling author Blair Babylon

Reader and Blogger reviews:

Biography:
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge, with more than 2 million eBook, print, and audiobooks sold and 4 appearances on the New York Times bestseller list. Her books have been translated into German and French, with more languages coming soon.

From billionaires to BBWs to new adult rock stars, Julia finds a sensual, goofy joy in every contemporary romance she writes. Unlike Shannon from Shopping for a Billionaire, she did not meet her husband after dropping her phone in a men's room toilet (and he isn't a billionaire).

She lives in New England with her husband and three children in a household where the toilet seat is never, ever, down.

    Shopping for a CEO’s Baby is book 16 (!!!) in the shopping series which seemed daunting for me since I’ve only read one other book in this series before picking this up. But I dove in almost blindly and don’t regret it at all. I loved this story and never felt like I was lost or missing out by not having read all the previous books. (But I might have to go back and read the others anyway to see if they are as good as this one!) In this book Andrew and Amanda have to navigate expecting twins, and juggling their work, married life, family, and friends. “When your husband’s “mistress” is his job, though, you’re “lucky.” Lucky to be married to a CEO. A billionaire. A “hot man.” A success.” I expected this story to be funny and it really was, but it also was so much more than just humorous. It was also sweet, heartwarming, and emotional. -5 Stars!-
  • Beautiful and Heartwarming Glimpse into the Joys and Trials of Impending Parenthood

    All of the books in Julia Kent’s Shopping series deliver lots of laughs while simultaneously pulling at your heart strings. Shopping for a CEO’s Baby is certainly no exception. In fact, if you don’t smile or outright chuckle while reading this book, you might want to check that your sense of humor is still intact. I personally found that this particular book hit me in the feels even more than some of the other books in the series, and that’s saying something. Julia Kent exquisitely details the exciting, overwhelming, funny, and sometimes downright terrifying journey from that of husband and wife to mother and father. She does a wonderful job of cataloguing the joys and the fears brought on by impending parenthood, as told from the viewpoints of both mother and father—Amanda and Andrew, in this case. And I have to say, the glimpse into the mind of an expectant father was truly eye opening and heartwarming. I am the proud mother of a nearly twenty-year-old son, and this book took me right back to the time when I was expecting him. My heart was so full reading this book. When it comes to parenthood—impending or otherwise—the struggle is real. But you won’t find another book that so beautifully and accurately details that struggle… but more importantly, the all-encompassing and unconditional love that drives it. I honestly could not recommend this book highly enough. I absolutely adored this story!
  • Twins with a side of humor are coming!

    Billionaire Andrew McCormick has done it! The little brother is surpassing his big brothers by...having twins! Well, his wife, Amanda is having the twins, but hey, he helped create them too! Julia has done it again as we follow Amanda and Andrew’s journey into parenthood xs 2! Julia has an incredible way and making her characters real people that you feel like you know and are friends with! You feel what Andrew and Amanda are feeling- their excitement, their fear. This was another wonderful story in the Shopping series! I cannot recommend this series enough!! You will fall in love with these crazy characters, Chuckles included!! I am ready for the next book please, Julia!

    This is Shopping For a CEO’s Baby written by Julia Kent. I LOVE this entire series and all of the characters that Ms Kent has created. Do yourself a favor and go back and start with book 1. I promise that you WILL NOT be disappointed. Andrew and Amanda are preparing for the birth of their twins and trying to manage all of the curveballs that life keeps throwing them. Get ready to search for lots of yummy or gross orange treats before you are done. Lol. Enjoy!
  • Don’t miss this one, so much fun.

    This is my favorite book in this series. All of these books are standalone reads and all are fun, wonderful reads. This story made me laugh out loud and tear up in more than a few places. The cake chapter is hilarious and the sweet ending, well, is just that sweet and heart warming. Don’t miss this one, add it now to your TBR list.
  • All. The. Babies!!

    Every new addition to the Shopping series blows me away. I go into thinking solid rom-com and end up a sobbing mess when the angst comes into play. Watching this series grow and seeing how much change has come to these families warms my heart every single time. Andrew and Amanda taking on this new journey of being parents (to twins!!) is both hilarious and a little overwhelming. I have no idea what else is going to be in store for the McCormick clan but I am definitely here for it.

    What an amazing book! I absolutely loved being part of Amanda & Andrew’s journey into parenthood. I love how realistic their struggles were, even though they have money to ‘fix’ most things. These characters & their stories are a welcome distraction!

    I’m in love with this book! As Andrew and Amanda prepare for the arrival of their twins, family dynamics come to the forefront. They are becoming parents and that means their parents are becoming grandparents and his brothers and Shannon are becoming uncles and an aunt. Things shift and change when a child arrives, but when there are two? As they welcome parenthood, both of them ponder how they will be as parents, Andrew in particular contemplates how different from his father he wishes to be. So much love, laughter and Cheetos in this!
