4 Giggling Star’s
Audiobook
It started out GRRRRREAT, I was like yay you go Declan & Shannon have their first date.
Only true to form it goes horribly awry and not in the funny way.
But swoon Declan is there to rescue her, thank god.
I am still very much enjoying her mother & father they crack me up something crazy.
The Ex-boyfriend Steve shows his face again. But I am a little confused as to why Shannon is still allowing him in her life at all to be honest. Misguided guilt? I don’t know but I don’t like it.
The limo ride.. Damnnnnn that was yeah awesome!
I also enjoyed the helicopter ride that was pretty cool.
I find myself enjoying each book differently, her family welcoming Declan with open arms, but he still keeps Shannon a little apart from his.
Overall a great installment to this series can’t wait to listen to book 4.

3.5 stars, but rounded up officially. This book started out pretty good, but it got kind of boring about halfway through. Toward the end however, it picked back up and I was eager to start the final book and find out how everything was going to go.

Shopping for a Billionaire 3
4/5 stars
This one had a lot more going on than the others.
The plot:
When Shannon packed her Epi-pen I knew something was gonna happen with bees. I already called it in the last book. But I did enjoy how it played out.
Steve just needs to leave, like why did she even agree to eat dinner with him?
The helicopter felt very... Fifty Shades.
The lighthouse and Easter was cute.
The yoga class was funny.
But the whole ending to this one pissed me off. Like the second I seen Steves mother I wouldn't have engaged with her, because I actually thought that the whole pretending to be married for work was a cute plot but the way it played out just ended up pissing me off.
Characters:
Shannon-
I like her, I find her very relatable when it came to the limo scene where she was uncomfortable with her stomach. And the uncertainty to why Declan is with her... But dear lord she's frustrating. Like shit learn how to say no to people who make you uncomfortable.
Declan-
I love him, he's like a cinnamon roll wrapped in a sexy package.
Shannon's friends are cool, and I have a spiritual connection to her cat. Everyone else needs to go away though.
Overall:
This series is a fun guilty pleasure book and I'm excited to move onto the next one.

I am still in love with this series. This time around, a innocent picnic in the park turns into a near death experience and a trip to the emergency room with a hospital thrown in. Shannon's mom's yoga class turns into a battle of elderly women vying for Declan's attention. Then there's Easter dinner. The madness is so normal in this family that it's just ...is.
I haven't read a book that made me laugh like this in a long time and each book in the series brings it's own brand of hilarity. I will be so sad when I finish the series. There's just no way this can be topped.

Read all four novellas in one sitting. There’s a huge fan club on a B & N thread who love this author and find her hilarious. It wasn’t really my cup of tea. The mother was wildly inappropriate with her boundaries and rather than find her endearing, I found her obnoxious. Either in the third or fourth book, when Declan does an aboutface, I was thoroughly confused. As the story went along, the editing got sloppier and the whole caper became very Jerry Lewis slapsticky in a way that didn’t appeal.
