Description
Take two men, one woman, three children. Stir in one best friend and her fiancé doctor. Whisk one best friend's niece, her two rock star boyfriends, and add a grizzled old octogenarian diner owner with a naughty mouth and her eighty-something boyfriend who loves every minute of her.
Put them all in a campground in northern Maine where the owners' daughter has two special men of her own. Bake for 400 pages.
It's Always Complicated is the sprawling saga of how Laura, Mike and Dylan (Her Billionaires) and Josie and Alex (It's Complicated) have the wedding of a lifetime at Escape Shores Campground (the Obedient series) while Darla, Trevor and Joe (the Random series) make an appearance with a cast of characters that includes cameos from the Warlock Waitress and maybe ... just maybe ... Mavis the Chicken.
This book combines three of Julia Kent's series in a madcap spectacle that yields one universal truth: love is a journey and not a destination, but people will drive you crazy along the way.
Enjoy the ride.

Excerpt
A small crowd of men wearing gun holsters ran past Josie and Alex, followed by three uniformed TSA agents.
“I wonder what that’s about?” Alex marveled, his eyes tracking the fracas. He and Josie had come to the Portland, Maine airport to pick up her mother, Marlene, and Aunt Cathy, Uncle Mike and her new Uncle Calvin. All the Ohio relatives were here for her and Alex’s wedding.
A cold wave of dread washed over her. They were running toward the baggage claim for the airline her entire family was on.
“I’ll bet it’s my mother,” she groaned, leaning against him for support. His strong arm wrapped around her shoulders and gave her the comfort she needed. Too bad he couldn’t give her a second backbone made of steel.
If he could, she knew, he would. The thought made her smile.
“I’m sure it’s nothing,” he said, giving her a squeeze. She looked up at him. Way up, given the enormous height difference between the two of them. His warm, brown eyes met hers and for an instant, she wondered if he might be right. That eternally positive outlook he had was a bit infectious.
Maybe she needed to stop assuming the worst of every situation.
A rotund security guard huffed and puffed, running past them, holding what looked like a spare uniform. He was talking into a walkie-talkie.
“Naked?” Huff huff. “She’s naked? What size?” Huff huff.
Alex’s kind eyes filled with alarm. It was both charming and horrifying. Josie couldn’t quite decide which impression she enjoyed more. There was a kind of schadenfreude in realizing she was right. His idealism was sweet, but sometimes she needed him to be more of a realist.
And Marlene served up an entire buffet of realism.
“Mile High Club again?” the guard asked, pausing to catch his breath. Josie watched him with a morbid fascination.
“You don’t really think it’s your mom in there, Josie,” Alex said. He caressed her shoulder absent-mindedly, watching the guard. “I mean—”
“Two men in one bathroom with a naked woman?” the guard barked into his walkie-talkie, eyebrows hitting the brim of his hat.
Josie snorted, the sense of dread spreading.
“How could it be anyone else?”
“That sounds more like something Darla would do,” Alex said. “You sure she’s still in Boston and not on this flight?”
Just as Josie was about to reply, the commotion got louder.
“MARLENE!” Josie heard the sense of outrage in her Aunt Cathy’s voice. The airport was small, but not that small. Cathy’s voice could carry. “WHAT IN THE HELL HAPPENED TO YOUR CLOTHES?”
Praise for the Book
"I have never been disappointed with a Julia Kent book, and am certainly not disappointed now!! [...] The book was fast paced, hilarious dialogue, and laugh out loud situations, I even had a few tears. Julia is one of a handful of authors who's books I can read again and again." ~ LBry2602
"I unequivocally, totally and absolutely Loved this book. It had me laughing out loud-teary eyed at the moving moments between our favourite characters-and cheering internally when things go right." ~ Annielou
"I LOVED this book from beginning to end! There's the hilarity I've come to expect and love from Ms. Kent and specifically these characters. It starts off with a trip to Mile High Club with the most unlikely person you could imagine and that just sets the stage for the rest of the book!" ~ Franci Neill
"This book is so, so fun! I'm a huge fan of Julia Kent, and have been waiting on this release for MONTHS! Too many details to tell, but yes, you get to read some excellent raciness; you get to re-visit some of your favorite, sexy he-men; you get to moan in agony at someone's family member being off-the-chain - AGAIN! Trust me when I say that you will not regret getting this book!" ~ Scuba Girl
"Julia Kent is my HERO! She just did it again! I don't know how, but it ended way too soon. She makes you laugh so hard, right off the bat, that you are screaming with laughter, and then as you continue reading, you find tears streaming down your face! She has done this with every book, in every series - she is so outrageously gifted in her writing, that you can't wait for the next book to be written, although I don't know how she is able to keep them coming, but please, please don't stop!!!" ~ Bernice Fishstein
