Fluffy Audible Audiobook – Unabridged

4.2 out of 5 stars 3,179 ratings

An all-new stand-alone from New York Times best-selling author Julia Kent

It all started with the wrong Help Wanted ad. Of course it did.

I'm a professional fluffer. It's not what you think. I stage homes for a living. Real estate agents love me, and my work stands on its own merits.

Sigh. Get your mind out of the gutter. Go ahead. Laugh. I'll wait.

See? That's the problem. My career has used the term "fluffer" for decades. I didn't even know there was a more...lascivious definition of the term.

Until it was too late.

The ad for a "professional fluffer" on Craigslist seemed like divine intervention. My last unemployment check was in the bank. I was desperate. Rent was due. The ad said cash paid at the end of the day. The perfect job!

Staging homes means showing your best angle. The same principle applies in making a certain kind of movie. Turns out a "fluffer" doesn't arrange decorative pillows on a couch.

They arrange other soft, round-ish objects.

The job isn't hard. Er, I mean, it is - it's about being hard. Or, well...helping other people to be hard.

Oh, man....

And that's the other problem. A man. No, not one of the stars on the movie set. Will Lotham - my high school crush. The owner of the house where we're filming. Illegally. In a vacation rental.

By the time the cops show up, what I thought was just a great house staging gig turned into a nightmare involving pictures of me with an undressed star, Will rescuing me from an arrest, and a humiliating lesson in my own naivete.

My job turned out to be so much harder than I expected. But you know what's easier than I ever imagined?

Having all my dreams come true.

Fluffy is a full-length novel and is a stand-alone romantic comedy from New York Times best-selling author Julia Kent.

Home stager to *corn* fluffer

Home stager to *corn* fluffer
Mallory is a home stager, she has no money, and she is about to lose her apartment. She applies to a craigslist ad for a fluffer, and I guess home staging can also be called home fluffing. Surprise, it’s really it's a fluffer for a *corn* shoot, she arrives, and madness ensues. She almost gets arrested, but it turns out the rented house belongs to the parents of her high school crush Will. He saves her from going to jail and hires her to help him stage the house to sell. I really love Mallory’s internal monologue and their banter. When it gets spicy, it was so good. I do wish there had been more *corn* fluffing though.

    I found this story about Mallory Monahan a home set stager who is broke and answered an ad to be a fluffer as an enjoyable, hooting with laughter, and romantic story with engaging characters. At her arriving at her job's designation, Mallory sees three guys smoking outside who tease her as she enters the house. Fixing the Feng shui, Mallory redesigns the living room furniture and meets the guys until they strip, and she realizes she was hired for something else. When the owner Will Lotham, an old high school crush arrives after being tipped off by a neighbor and then the police, what will happen to Mallory? Will Will try to help Mallory? I volunteer to read and review this book.

    More raunchy comedy than romance, this has a whole lot of humor and a light, fun feel. There are pros and cons to that - after reading Little Miss Perfect, the prequel novella, I was really looking forward to the romance between Mallory and Will because that novella features a solid, intimate interaction that hinted at some serious depth to the relationship. That’s not really the case with Fluffy though - Will is absent from almost the entire first half of the book, the author instead choosing to focus on the comedy. And while I loved some of the absolutely hysterical scenes featured at the start of the book (I laughed so much that I had to stop listening to the audiobook at work), I also wanted more Will.

    The story follows Mallory, a woman who has found herself jobless and so desperate for money that she replies to a sketchy job posting. As a house stager, Mallory thinks the posting for a “fluffer” refers to fluffing pillows, not... well, you know. The mixup leads to a hysterical turn of events, and Mallory finds herself face to face with her old high school crush... who thinks she’s stooped so low that she’s now doing porn. What follows is a lot of raunchy humor and a connection that forms when Will sees a whole new side of Mallory.

    If you’re looking for a laugh and have a dirty sense of humor, there’s a good chance you’ll enjoy this book. The comedy will keep you smiling and the pages turning. However, don’t go into this hoping for a full-fledged romance. That aspect of the book is 3-star at best. Given Will’s absence for much of the book, the pacing is kinda weird - it goes from zero to sixty towards the end. Honestly, if I hadn’t read the prequel, I’m not sure how much I would know about Will, and I still don’t know all that much after reading this. So, yeah, I liked the book and it made me laugh repeatedly, but the romance left something to be desired. I’ll continue reading the series without hesitation, but it wasn’t as strong as I was hoping.

    If I could give this more stars I most definitely would! Julia Kent is known for her quirky, funny as heck stories. If you have read her Shopping for the Billionaire or Random series, you already know the humor she can pull out of her characters, how she can take some really random story from the internet (or heck probably real life) and bring them to life in her stories so much so that you have to google them to see if something like she mentions actually exists (and most often they do). Fluffy is funny...rolling off the treadmill while you are reading funny....doubled over in laughter until tears run down your face funny. I found myself wanting to message her every five minutes because my funny bone was just tickled over and over again. But wait....as funny as this story was...I found it to be about so much more than just humor for humor's sake. Okay...not knowing what she was walking into taking a job as a fluffer is hilarious. But the back story about Mallory and Will (who I will readily admit has now surpassed Declan in my affection, which I never thought possible) is about expectations...of the past, present and future. It is about how some experiences in your past can shape the person you are even when you can't admit that they have. It is about finding the strength to just be who you are, who you are meant to be and accepting that that person is okay, that there is nothing wrong with who you are or the choices you have made. My heart was completely engaged in Mallory and Will's story as well as some of the other characters we come across. I will never, EVER look at Fluffernutters the same again. You will absolutely love this couples' "come to Jesus" moments and if you don't swoon several times in this story along with all the laughter then I have no more words. I could write a book, but I'd rather you just read it and get the complete joy of the dysfunction that is Mallory as she navigates the road into adulthood.

    There were moments in this book that were funny. One thing that took away from the anything funny was Mallory's overwhelming insecurities stemming from high school. Some of her alleged naivety was so ridiculous, it fell flat. The worse part of this book was the 10 year reunion.

    I was not sure how I felt about Will. At the start of the book, he seemed to be somewhat condescending and arrogant. He didn't seem to do a gradual change. It was more like one day he felt one way, suddenly, he was interested, then he confessed years of interest. Strange.

    Also, I expected better from him at the reunion. What he said happened, we didn't get to read, so it didn't mean much for him to say it.

    Will and Mallory did get their HEA, but I wanted him to be much more into Mallory then he appeared to be and show everyone. Mallory's 14 year unrequited obsession with Will kind of took some of the fun out of the book.

    An absolutely hilarious story from Julia Kent, I cannot recommend this book highly enough. If you're looking for a entertaining rom-com then this book will be a perfect choice in my opinion.

    Mallory crosses paths with her high-school crush Will, in a rather disastrous-yet hysterical way, that had me similtaniously rolling around with laughter as well as cringing for poor Mallory. From here their relationship progresses in a very enjoyable and engaging way.

    The characters in this novel are charming, funny, and witty and there's plenty of misunderstandings to keep the story moving forward at a jaunty and absorbing pace.

    Reviewed in Canada on November 11, 2021
    Some parts of this were annoying to read. Her thinking was very random and awkward and I kinda just zoomed past chunks of it to get to the "good stuff". Long story short; lots of unnecessary pages of reading taht don't contribute to the overall story. But the rest of the book was awesome. I don't believe we got to see much of how Will thinks (POV) but Mallory was super funny, feisty and awesome. The ending was the perfect way to get you excited for the next story.
