Publication date: April 27th 2016
Genres: Adult, Contemporary
BLURB
Take two men, one woman, three
children. Stir in one best friend and her fiancé doctor. Whisk one best
friend’s niece, her two rock star boyfriends, and add a grizzled old
octogenarian diner owner with a naughty mouth and her eighty-something
boyfriend who loves every minute of her.
Put them all in a campground in
northern Maine where the owners’ daughter has two special men of her own. Bake
for 400 pages.
It’s Always Complicated is the
sprawling saga of how Laura, Mike and Dylan (Her Billionaires) and Josie and
Alex (It’s Complicated) have the wedding of a lifetime at Escape Shores
Campground (the Obedient series) while Darla, Trevor and Joe (the Random series)
make an appearance with a cast of characters that includes cameos from the
Warlock Waitress and maybe…just maybe…Mavis the Chicken.
This book combines three of Julia
Kent’s series in a madcap spectacle that yields one universal truth: love is a
journey and not a destination, but people will drive you crazy along the way.
Enjoy the
ride.

A small crowd of men wearing gun
holsters ran past Josie and Alex, followed by three uniformed TSA agents.
“I wonder
what that’s about?” Alex marveled, his eyes tracking the fracas. He and Josie
had come to the Portland, Maine airport to pick up her mother, Marlene, and
Aunt Cathy, Uncle Mike and her new Uncle Calvin. All the Ohio relatives were
here for her and Alex’s wedding.
A cold
wave of dread washed over her. They were running toward the baggage claim for
the airline her entire family was on.
“I’ll bet
it’s my mother,” she groaned, leaning against him for support. His strong arm
wrapped around her shoulders and gave her the comfort she needed. Too bad he
couldn’t give her a second backbone made of steel.
If he
could, she knew, he would. The thought made her smile.
“I’m sure
it’s nothing,” he said, giving her a squeeze. She looked up at him. Way up,
given the enormous height difference between the two of them. His warm, brown
eyes met hers and for an instant, she wondered if he might be right. That
eternally positive outlook he had was a bit infectious.
Maybe she needed to stop assuming the worst of every situation.
Maybe she needed to stop assuming the worst of every situation.
A rotund
security guard huffed and puffed, running past them, holding what looked like a
spare uniform. He was talking into a walkie-talkie.
“Naked?” Huff
huff. “She’s naked? What size?” Huff huff.
Alex’s
kind eyes filled with alarm. It was both charming and horrifying. Josie
couldn’t quite decide which impression she enjoyed more. There was a kind of
schadenfreude in realizing she was right. His idealism was sweet, but sometimes
she needed him to be more of a realist.
And
Marlene served up an entire buffet of realism.
“Mile
High Club again?” the guard asked, pausing to catch his breath. Josie watched
him with a morbid fascination.
“You
don’t really think it’s your mom in there, Josie,” Alex said. He caressed her
shoulder absent-mindedly, watching the guard. “I mean—”
“Two men
in one bathroom with a naked woman?” the guard barked into his walkie-talkie,
eyebrows hitting the brim of his hat.
Josie
snorted, the sense of dread spreading.
“How
could it be anyone else?”
“That
sounds more like something Darla would do,” Alex said. “You sure she’s still in
Boston and not on this flight?”
Just as
Josie was about to reply, the commotion got louder.
“MARLENE!”
Josie heard the sense of outrage in her Aunt Cathy’s voice. The airport was
small, but not that small. Cathy’s voice could carry. “WHAT IN THE HELL
HAPPENED TO YOUR CLOTHES?”
