I do love a Kim Karr book and SEXY JERK does not disappoint!

Nick and Tess are forced to spent two weeks together babysitting their godson while his parents take their much-needed honeymoon. Tess may think Nick is nothing more than a sexy playboy jerk, she discovers all the things she thought about his are not exactly true. And that Nick just may be the person who helps her become the person she was meant to be.

I liked Nick and Tess together. Even when Tess was at her nastiness, Nick was there to charm her into realizing what she was doing. He liked her sassiness but called her out when she was being bitchy. Tess turned the tables on Nick making it hard (sometimes) for him to use his charm to get what he wants. These two worked together. It may have taken a little boy to help bridge the gap between them, but they figured it out pretty quickly.

While most of the story was centered around the relationship with Tess and Nick, there were some very interesting side characters and secondary storylines. I'm completely intrigued by Jace, one of Nick's friends, and need to know more about him. There is an interesting dynamic there and I'm we get to jump more into his story.

The only thing I wish we had more of in this book was the Bigelow storyline. It was secondary to the romance, but I felt like that was rushed through at the end of the book. I wanted a little bit more details and not just a quick blurb in the epilogue. Given what the man was doing and how that affected both Tess and Nick, I wanted just a bit more to feel he really did get what he deserved.

SEXY JERK was another great read by Kim Karr. Nick and Tess are hard to resist and this fast-paced read was simply hard to put down.

I like this cover. It's not really how "I" pictured Nick, but it's a yummy cover. It has fairly good composition. I think it would have been more visually pleasing to have the author's name under the title and the photo centered more. I love the font and the title work.

I am starting to think this author cannot write a bad book. Again as with the case of her previous two releases, I found myself enjoying this one immensely. The writing was fantastic. The pace was spot on. There was very little angst. No OW/OM drama. The sex scenes were hot. There were a nice array of interesting side characters. Nick and Tess were both extremely likable characters. I particularly loved that the misconceptions they both had about the other was cleared up quickly and apologies made. It's refreshing in romancelandia when adults act like adults. *lol* All wrapped up in an OK epilogue.



All in all a very enjoyable way to spend a few hours. NOW...it pains me to say that after reading the little preview for the next book and seeing who the heroine is going to be. It is most likely going to be a pass for me. I was super interested in Jace even with the whole "dead wife" thing against him. BUT after finding out she is the girl him, and his friend Ethan (who is married to Fiona in this book) had a threesome relationship with WAY back in the day. AND then add in the fact that Jace has a threesome(s) with Ethan and Fiona is THIS book. Well, that is WAY too six degrees of separation for me. Especially considering ALL these people are going to hang out together on a regular basis.
