Our Options Have Changed by Julia Kent & Elisa Reed Book Summary

Having it all is a fantasy, right?

Chloe Browne knows all about fantasy. Fantasy is her job.

And she’s very, very good at what she does.

As director of design for the O Spa chain, a sophisticated women’s club that is trending its way into being the Next Big Thing, Chloe’s ready to take on the world.

One baby at a time.

Her home study’s done, and she’s about to adopt, a thirty-something single mother by choice. Who needs to put her life on hold for the right guy when the right baby is waiting for her?

Besides, talk about fantasy.

The right guy?

Pfft. Right.

And then in walks Nick Grafton, with those commanding sapphire eyes and wavy blonde hair and a sophisticated mouth that only smiles for her.

He’s perfect.

But the last thing Nick wants is to start fresh with a new baby as his college-age kids fly the coop. A single father for more than fifteen years after his wife walked out on her family, Nick finally tastes freedom.

But he likes the taste of Chloe more.

She lives in New England with her husband and three children in a household where the toilet seat is never, ever, down.

She loves to hear from her readers by email at [email protected], on Twitter @jkentauthor, on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/jkentauthor . Visit her at http://jkentauthor.com

YES!. Awesomely funny, laugh out, heart-strings pulling read!

Options. I really hope that the ones that read this book in its entirety enjoy it. I really do. But I’m not impressed after 60 some odd pages, rather corny. I only hope I didn’t pay good money for this one.........

Empty. After reading the book I wish the author added more. I thought that the author would do better.

Loved. Loved, Loved It!. I received this ARC in exchange for a fair review. When reading a Julia Kent book, I have come to expect excellence. The story of Chloe and Nick that she and Elisa Reed have created does not disappoint! I loved the premise of two people who come together at a pivotal point in their lives and have to decide if moving forward includes each other. Chloe and Nick are interesting characters that you really truly like--a handsome, loving dad (so very sexy) and a smart, confident woman. They aren't perfect, but they seem perfect for each other. I couldn't put this down, not unusual with any Kent book, and read it straight through. I may be hating the alarm going off tomorrow morning, but the late night was totally worth it. The extra gift of Shannon and Declan's honeymoon story was golden!

Our Options Have Changed 😳. Sorry but was expecting so much more from both of these authors. Not much to the story & couldn't really relate to Chloe because nothing was explained about her background & her "need" to adopt a child. Understood Nick. You're really not missing anything from this book & unless they are free, could care less about continuing the series. 👎😟👎

Good story line. Parts of this book was funny and this is Julia Kent's style. The ending seemed to leave you hanging. Would preferred to have a more traditional HEA.

Dumb. Sooo dumb. Idk if it’s the writing errors with the run on sentences but it was hard to follow who was talking and what was going on. Not worth it even free.

Loved it!!!. Enjoyed the characters, enjoyed the story, LOVED the humor!

Funny and fun. This book is funny and fun. Chloe is all of us, wanting to have it all. Nick is swoony and sexy and the kind of many we all want. And most importantly, this book is funny! Julia Kent style funny (as in, laugh out loud funny). Definitely enjoyable and worth the price.

Phenomenal Read. This was a phenomenal book from Julia Kent and Elisa Reed! I was taken in by Chloe Browne from the start and her career at the very interesting, elite and exclusive Spa! Then she starts the outreach programs and life begins to change a bit but still kind of the same. She then meets Nick Grafton and life takes a turn and options start to look different. Does she find the perfect partner in Nick and he in Chloe? He has an empty nest but she is just starting out. The book keeps me turning pages and losing time because I'm so engrossed into their stories and it becomes complicated, and tangled but untangled and so much love and caring. When the happy little bundle of joy arrives, The friend and then momma comes to help, oh boy is all I can tell you. We all have those all too helpful people in our lives' that are more work than they are help. Julia and Elisa have written a wonderful story of so much real life because the circumstances and interactions can and do happen. The conversations and the interactions of Nick and his brother Charlie amazing! I can literally see their conversations and I'm laughing out loud. The same goes with the other characters in the book, The employees/masseurs at the Spa, Nicks children; they all come to life in this book. I can see this happening to myself with my own children at their age. I love how these two Authors co-write like they are one. I am gratefully honored to read and review their book, Our Options Have Changed. I am excited for the next book in their series to be release. I'm ready to see where these stories go next. (less)

Great read!. I love, love, love this book. I can't wait to read then next in the series. The book took me a day and half to read. I couldn't put it down

So hot. Likes

Our Options Have Changed. This book kept me interested with the humor, sarcasm and craziness we all feel in life at times. LOVED this book!!!!

Hilariously Romantic!. Wow! Talk about a two for one! Two couples. Two hilarious and romantic adventures... and these couples do get adventurous, some more than others. In Our Options Have Changed, we're introduced to a whole new bevy of characters in the O spa who are just as awkward and sincere and hilarious and over the top as the characters we've come to love from Julia Kent. They really just draw you into the story right from the beginning and you start to feel like you've known them your whole life. You buy right into the crazy and you love every minute of it. I can't wait to see where this new cast of characters takes us. Wherever it is, I know it will be one heck of a ride! Now as an added bonus, we also got Shopping For A Billionaire's Honeymoon in this book. Oh my gosh! Things do not get any easier for Declan and Shannon on their honeymoon. Shannon is just a big ol' horndog, and rightly so. Look who she's married to! Who wouldn't be? Declan, however is in work mode trying to get a few deals wrapped up for their burgeoning coffee empire. These two things do not mix... but they do make for plenty of hilarity. Don't worry. There's still plenty of romance and sexiness. This is Declan and Shannon we're talking about here. They will find a way! I'm still laughing about the way their honeymoon ends! Bottom line, you will love both of these stories like crazy! I would highly recommend this book and I am looking forward to what comes next in these series.

Refreshing!. Loved this book! Connected with the characters and time of life! Throughly enjoyed! Will read more from this author!

Fun read. This was a great story full of humor. The characters were fantastic and the story was interesting.

Amazing Shopping Series Spinoff Series - Must Read!. When I saw this Shopping for a Billionaire Series spinoff series featuring the "O" spa...I knew I had to read it! The entire concept around the "O" spa makes me wonder if there are really spas out there just like the one in the book. If not, then there totally needs to be one! Chloe Browne is the woman we all dream of being in corporate America! And now she is getting the greatest gift of all...to adopt a baby! It isn't until she meets Nick Grafton that she realizes that she can maybe have it all. This book will have shaking your head, truly laughing out loud with antics, googling stuff you think couldn't possibly be real. Then having you want to hug characters and this might be a first for me...but I wanted to throat-punch Nick's ex-wife! I can't wait to see where this series will go and I am certain that it will keep me laughing & googling!

Our Options Have Changed. Our Options Have Changed by Julia Kent and Elisa Reed This was a great, fun romance from Julia Kent, who I have read previously, and Elisa Reed who I have not. It follows the story of Chloe, an extremely successful businesswoman: director of design for a world-class spa chain who is looking to adopt a baby and the slightly older business associate Nick who is finally at the empty-ish nest phase of his life. Overall, this was a fun read with plenty of humorous moments throughout. These were interspersed with some serious dilemmas and undertones particularly where difficult decisions have to be made. I enjoyed the natural progression of the relationship and I think Nick's kids added some sweetness to the book! The last 15% or so had me smiling and nodding in agreement as I remembered the first time I left my kids to go to work and so Chloe certainly had my sympathy there. I really admired her for knowing what she wanted and not being afraid to find and grab onto it with both hands. I really liked Focus Man too! He was very sweet and sexy and all those lovely things. I loved that he was able to differentiate what he thought he wanted and what his heart really wanted. I'm looking forward to the next book in the series! I wonder who it'll be about: does anyone know?! *arc received in exchange for honest review. **Reviewed by Melinda for Joandisalovebooks Blog.

An maazing read that will leave you laughing out loud. Such an enjoyable read that I loved from start to finish

Slow starter. It was extremely slow starter, nearly gave up a few times as very irrelevant detail about her work. By then end was better

O so good. So awesome! A spin off from Julia's Shopping series, Our Options have changed is a perfect mix of laugh out loud moments and vulnerability. An honest view of family and how they come in all shapes and sizes. The bonus shopping for a honeymoon novella just adds to the perfection (and the laughs)

Our options have changed. I really enjoyed the unfolding character of Nick and getting to see him through the eyes of his brother and kids . But reading about Shannon and Declans honeymoon, has me crying in laughter again . Alas Julia Kent is the only one who manages to make me laugh out loud . Bravo .

“Our options have changed” by Julia Kent and Elisa reed. Chloe (dumb name) is brilliant at her job. The conversations are hilarious. Charlotte is a hoot! Nick’s hesitation to start again is totally understandable and well described. The baby scenes are funny and sooo realistic. Brilliant!

Buy it. Read it. Do it NOW!. Our Options Have Changed is sweet, funny, sexy, poignant, and all too real. I've never experienced any of the situations described in the book to the same level of embarrassment or hilarity, but I have been in and witnessed some of them and that helped to pull me even farther into the story. I loved watching Chloe and Nick fall for each other, and each others family and friends. I laughed so hard experiencing their everyday lives that my sides still hurt. I'm hoping we haven't heard the last of this zany crew and that, like the Shopping regulars, the extended family of the O Spa will drop in for cameo appearances in other works. I received a free copy of this book and voluntarily chose to review.

Nice book. Chloe has chosen to adopt a baby in her mid-30s while Nick is welcoming his season of being an empty nester following their abandonment by his wife over 15 years before. With this new woman in his life, his ex-wife wants him back. Her career is demanding and becomes an obstacle to parenting. Nick chooses to step up and be a Dad again, realizing his objection to parenting again is whom he is doing it with, not the parenting itself. And his kids love the new baby! Such a nice story. It becomes long and a bit convoluted at the end, but it all comes together in the end. Mostly (where is the baby’s mom?). Hilariously funny in parts, serious and relatable in others. Recommend reading.
