Shopping for a Baby's First Christmas

Written by Julia Kent

Narrated by Tanya Eby

My mother wants all her kids and grandkids to spend Christmas Eve at her house and wake up on Christmas morning together. 

Sounds reasonable, right? And it would be.

If it weren’t my mother.

My husband, Declan, is protesting any involvement, though he’s openly intrigued by the idea of claiming his territory by having sex in my childhood bed.

And by intrigued, I mean a series of really hot suggestions that make me whimper when I have to say no.

Wait — why am I saying no, again?

Mom has turned her house into a Christmas showcase that makes Frankenmuth look like the picked-over clearance rack at Target on December 26. You know those crazy people on Etsy who make felted gnomes out of belly-button lint and use… a certain kind of hair… to make thatched roofs on little decorative elf homes?

Those people are saner than my mother.

There is no force of nature stronger — or more emotionally volatile — than a fifty-something grandmother determined to create holiday memories.

Wait a minute. Maybe there is.

My husband.

Julia Kent

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Julia Kent writes romantic comedy with an edge. Since 2013, she has sold more than 2 million books, with 4 New York Times bestsellers and more than 21 appearances on the USA Today bestseller list. Her books have been translated into French, Italian, and German, with more titles releasing in the future. 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 in a rom com). She lives in New England with her husband and children in a household where everyone but Julia lacks the gene to change empty toilet paper rolls.

Reviews for Shopping for a Baby's First Christmas

[anbpowers · Rating: 4 out of 5 stars]

I always love reading about Declan and Shannon, Andrew and Amanda, and all of the other characters. Just like many of the other books this one had all kinds of hijinks, chaos, love, and family in it. I loved the parts with Ellie, it was so funny. I have to say I didn’t love how often the author had Declan complaining and wanting to go home, it felt like he was grouchy and a spoiled child. I also felt like some of the spark between Declan and Shannon wasn’t seen in this story, the romance part that normally accompanies them. I was thrilled though with the news from Andrew and Amanda, can’t wait to read their next book.
