About this listen

An all-new stand-alone from New York Times best-selling author Julia Kent

One 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 a meme. A really gross one.

You've 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 US 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.

Julia Kent pens another hilarious book in her “Do Over” series. I loved the first two books “Little Miss Perfect” and “Fluffy” which are tough books to follow, but Julia Kent did not disappoint. This book is just as fun as those. This book can be enjoyed as a stand-alone but I highly recommend checking to the first two books, whether before or after, they as too good to miss. Persephone, aka Perky, is Mallory’s best friend and was first introduced in Mallory’s books. While Perky is no where near as quirky as Mallory she is not without her own quirks. Perky’s ex shows up at Mallory’s rehearsal dinner for her rehearsal party (don’t ask), turns out Will asked him to be one of his groomsman. This did not go over well, but Perky comes up with her own plan, to get revenge for what he did to her. Parker denies doing what he was accused of but she would not hear him out. Five years later he still denies it and tells her he has not stopped loving her. She doesn’t believe him and goes forward with her plan, which winds up backfiring on her. This book is well plotted with lots of great dialogue and laugh out loud moments and heartfelt ones too. Julia Kent thank you for another delightful story, these characters and storylines are awesome. I am looking forward to what comes next in Fiesty’s story.

I listened to the Audible edition, Erin Mallon is a fabulous narrator and talented voice artist. She brings these characters to life, giving each their own voice and personality. You could hear how much heart she puts in to her work as she projects the characters emotions into her performance. She does an amazing job with the banter as well as capturing and landing the humor. Thank you for another entertaining listen🎧

Perky is the second book in the series following Fluffy and was just as hilarious as the previous book. This story was introduced in the first book and we continue with the storyline in this novel.
Perky and Parker had intense chemistry from the start but the fact that Parker supposedly betrayed and humiliated Perky 5 years ago was difficult for her to forgive. These characters back and forth banter had me amused and the addition of the secondary characters greatly added to the story. The novel included enemies to lovers, second chance and romantic comedy tropes in one story. My only issue was that the story was too slow at times and seemed too focused on the incident that happened 5 years ago. However I enjoyed it as it did have me laughing out loud many times and would highly recommend it to all romance lovers.
This audiobook was narrated by Erin Mallon who again did an excellent job with the characters and bringing the story to life. She infused the appropriate emotion into the story and gave each character their own personality. I loved listening to her narrate this novel.

Enjoyed it

Perky is the story of Persephone (but don't call her that- she prefers Perky), the survivor of a revenge porn meme involving her naked chest and two dogs humping, that her ex boyfriend, turned politician Parker released to an entertainment website and then went viral (say that 10 times fast). But the question remains, is he the jerk she thinks he is?

This book was very entertaining, had me engaged and chuckling and the sexual tension was strong. Erin Mallon's narration was perfection as always. There were moments where the story seemed to take a hard left and go off topic, but I think the author is playing the long game for the rest of this series. Overall this book is highly recommended by me if you are looking for something that will make you laugh and feel good. This book was reviewed by a #audiobookobsessionreviewer

This one was good! Persephone and Parker were also great. I totally wasn't expecting the revelation on who uploaded the video/pic/meme. Feisty has me intrigued now!

Again, Erin Mallon was perfect.

I received this book at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

This book was really easy to read, funny, and light.  The hate/love relationship between Perky and Parker was the best, all that sexual tension between them is one of the many things that makes the book enjoyable.
I was laughing non stop throughout the book.
Erin Mallon as always was perfect with the narration, she's the best and I enjoyed listening to her.
