Never Date the Minister Blitz

Author: Julia Kent
Series: Whatever It Takes, #3
Publication date: September 10th 2024
Genres: Adult, Comedy, Contemporary, Romance

Accidental poisonings. Unexpected tidal waves. Jealous stepsisters. Brides caught cheating in the coatroom at the reception.

Just a typical day at work, when you’re a wedding protector.

And Nessa Martini, the newest and youngest member on staff, is doing her best to fix it all.

Starting with her own chaotic life.

A one-night stand with a hot bodybuilding social media influencer who turns out to be a minister is not Nessa’s idea of personal growth, no matter how much she enjoyed it.

She’s trying so hard to be mature, grounded, responsible, and to get ahead in her career working for Wedding Protectors, Inc., where they guarantee your perfect day – whatever it takes.

But when she ghosts on Mr. Perfect after one night of pleasure and he turns out not only to be the TikTok sensation known as “God’s Gift,” but is also the minister at the wedding she’s assigned to for work, all of Nessa’s careful plans go out the window.

She can’t date a man of the cloth.

Or can she?

Matt Draper knows he’s a study in contrasts. A bodybuilder who makes sweaty, shirtless weightlifting videos for millions of followers – and a minister? He didn’t pick the nickname “God’s Gift,” but he’s stuck with it now.

And he’s stuck on gorgeous Instagram influencer Nessa, too.

It may have been only one night, but it was a phenomenal night, and Matt wants more. Way more. When coincidence works in his favor and they meet at a wedding rehearsal, he takes his chance. She’s slow to warm, and so mysterious, yet social media perfect.

Too perfect.

For a guy who is all about depth and connection, can he break through her surface and find more?

Welcome to the Whatever It Takes series, where every book is a complete HEA and a standalone within the same world, with one couple per book:

Every bride needs something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue –

But you know what brides don’t need?

Complications.

Welcome to Wedding Protectors, Inc. Have a spritzer or a latte or some lovely Zen tea and sink into a comfortable chair in our sunlit offices as we listen to your wedding problem – and form the perfect solution to every possible contingency.

We plan for everything.

Except our own love lives.

But that’s not your problem.

an excerpt

His kiss began as gentle and tender, and she felt appreciated, almost as if he were honoring her for being who she was. Returning it, she felt completely present in the moment: tasting his mouth, feeling his rough cheek against her skin, inhaling the scent of his skin.

She wanted to stay like this forever but suddenly, their desire for each other–never far below the surface–ignited. His breathing changed, becoming somehow more urgent, and she moved even closer to him, the full length of their bodies pressed together. In response, his palms slid down her back, cupping her and pulling her in, and she felt how hard he was.

“Are we alone?” she gasped. “Is everyone..?”

His expression was dazed, like someone waking from deep sleep, but then her words registered and he strode quickly to the door. The lock clicked and the overhead lights went out, leaving the office lit dimly by the streetlights outside.

The glow was enough to find her.
