Shopping for a Billionaire

I read the first book in this series about a year ago and loved it, but as is typical I got side-tracked before diving into the next book. When the collection was released containing books 1-5 I jumped at the chance to purchase it but hadn't found the time to read it yet again. Lucky for me they released the collection on audio and I was finally able to enjoy all the goodness that it is.
Shannon Jacoby is a mystery shopper...an incredibly clumsy mystery shopper, she must keep her cover at all costs, even when meeting a handsome man aka ‘hot guy', in the men's room....with her hand down a toilet. (I'm not kidding) And she does it. Until a meeting with executives from a new potential client and in walks Declan McCormack ‘hot guy' and that's when things really start to get interesting and fall into place. Their relationship is a mash-up of sexy dates, clumsy events, and rumours. Is there love strong enough to weather the potential storm heading their way? You'll have to read or listen to find out.
I love Shannon, she is funny and charming and I think a lot of readers/ listeners will be able to identify with her. She's an everyday girl with crazy family and friends. Her mother is hilarious; I adored her.
Declan is a great character, I'll be honest at a couple of points during the book I wanted to slap the guy...hard. But, during the course of the story you find out more about him and it starts to make sense, you might not agree with how he handled it, I didn't, but you understand him.
The supporting characters in this series really enhance the story and made for many, many laugh out loud moments.
Julia Kent's writing is funny and sweet and she'll make you fall in love with her characters. It's a light-hearted romantic comedy that will touch your heart. It'll make you swoon, it'll make your sides hurt from laughing and it might even make you cry.
Tanya Eby is fantastic, so much so, that I forgave her pronunciation of ‘dalek' (I'm British and a Whovian – these things just jump out at me). All joking aside, she really did an amazing performance. The book has a lot of humour, which was performed amazingly, some people can tend to over perform but that wasn't the case with Tanya, she made it believable. There were also some emotional moments in the books and these were performed beautifully. I'm extremely choosy when it comes to female narrators but I can hands down say I would most definitely pick up another audiobook which Tanya was narrating. Each character was unique, the subtle changes Tanya made to her voice changed the whole characterisation.
