My best friend is married.Everyone I know is married. It doesn’t bother me. I like my life the way it is.
Since I’m single though, when my best friend and her husband finally decide to go on their dream honeymoon, she asks me to watch their three-year-old son.
Of course I say yes.
What my best friend neglects to tell me is that I won’t be babysitting alone.
Feeling Max might be too much for me to handle, her husband asks his only single friend to help.
Nick Carrington and I have met a couple of dozen times. I’ve never really given him a second thought—other than to say he’s kind of a jerk. Out loud. So he can hear. Sure, he’s tall, dark, and handsome. And yes, he has the best ass I’ve ever seen, and I mean ever seen quite literally. You see he mooned me at last year’s Fourth of July barbecue because, like I said, he’s a jerk.
He always has to be the life of the party.He’s also arrogant.Imposing.Rich.And a playboy.I’d even go as far as to say he’s a manwhore.
Yet somehow before I know it, this manwhore and I are co-parenting. Living under the same roof. Eating meals together and yes, talking.
Don’t look at me like that—it’s not like I had a choice. Even though I knew every minute would be hell, I had to say yes.
But after two weeks what I didn’t expect to discover is that I’d been wrong about him. That under his smart-ass exterior, he’s quite charming.That his arrogance is really confidence. And that the sight of his naked body would do really bad things to me.
So yes, I’d misjudged him. And yes, I like him. Really like him. Although I might still think he’s a jerk…I now think he’s a sexy jerk.And I want more of him.
The question is—does he want more of me?

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.
