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 is that I’d been wrong about him.
That under his smart-ass exterior, he’s quite charming.
That his arrogance is actually confidence.
And that the sight of his naked body would do really bad things to me.
So yes, I’ve misjudged him. And yes, I like him. Really like him. Although there are times I 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?
Stephanie’s 4 Star Review:
I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
Once again Kim Karr has done a magnificent job at spinning a tale. These two characters are not going to let you get away from them easily either. Once you start you may not stop!
So we have two people that have been put in charge of watching their respective best friends son. The besties have gone out of town on a honeymoon they never got. It’s a much needed reconnecting time for the spouses. So the single pair end up playing house with their son for two weeks.
In the beginning Tess wasn’t sure spending two weeks with Nick wouldn’t cause the house to fall down on itself. How was she going to survive him? He was a world class jerk!
Now Nick, he knows Tess has seen him as a jerk. But really. He thinks it’s just the persona of on that she’s seen to this point. Hopefully he can change her mind as they are stuck together for these weeks.
As the story progresses it’s interesting to see how they interact with one another. It seems Tess calls a truce with herself on her perception of Nick and is willing to try to see him in a different light.
Of course you know this is a love story. There’s a good on here. It’s new. It’s exciting. There’s always this doubt, though, that it won’t last past the two week time limit. Where there’s a will there’s a way right?
I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with this Kim Karr novel. Definitely a story you should add to your e-reader.
Will be available on Kindle Unlimited!
