Sexy Jerk: An Enemies-to-Lovers, Opposites-Attract Romantic Comedy Kindle Edition

by Kim Karr (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 923
See all formats and editions
From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author of CONNECTED & TORN comes a cocky and feisty hate-to-lovers standalone romance.

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.

And now I'm stuck with him...for two weeks!

Don't look at me like that! It wasn't like I had a choice.
Besides...what could possibly happen?
It's not like we're going to fall in love or anything like that!

Right?

** Look for BIG SHOT, HOT STUFF, and UPTOWN GIRL to complete the Sexy Jerk World. All four contemporary romances are standalone novels with overlapping characters. **

This had a few unexpected moments that really took this book to another level.

I expected it to be light & fluffy a bit like the movie "Life as We Know It", & it was but there was a slight sinister element & a side of sexual taboo.

I really enjoyed this book & would definitely recommend it

5.0 out of 5 stars I loved Sexy Jerk
Reviewed in Australia on 25 May 2017
I loved Sexy Jerk! This book had my attention from the start and I had a hard time putting it down to adult. It was a quick read and the story line flowed perfectly. I loved the characters, especially Nick. He was downright hot and sexy and had no filter. I love the mixture of feels in this book.

Tess’s best friend and her husband are off to their delayed honeymoon so she is in charge of her Godson Max for two weeks. But what she didn’t know was that she had to co-babysit with Nick: the one man that she was not fond of. Nick was an arrogant, cocky and a man whore. He thinks she is uptight and judgmental. After spending nights together taking care of little Max, eating dinner together and conversing, will they be able to get past these old feelings?

This is my first read by Kim Karr and it will definitely not be my last. I will be one clicking! Sexy Jerk is read as a standalone and is a must one click! You will not be disappointed.

There is such a fine line between love and hate - or lust and hate.

Right from the start you couldn't help but adore Tess and Nick, and hate the man who screwed Tess over. There is wit and spark and banter out the wazoo with this pair.

I adored seeing them strip each others layers until they find the man and woman beneath the hatred they have for each other. And then stripping each other's clothes off! The sexy times are off the charts hot!

The scene stealer in this book is their charge, their best friends little boy Max. Oh my gosh that kid as freaking adorable!

There's also a bit of suspensey stuff that happens in the background that brings our lovelies closer together.

I loved the secondary characters. Fiona and Ethan have taken each other off the market, but I can't wait to see what happens with their friends Jace and Lucas down the track.

Please don't make us wait too long Ms Karr.

4.0 out of 5 stars I fell in love with Kim's books way back with the Connection series ...
Reviewed in Australia on 12 July 2017
Another winner from Kim Carr! I fell in love with Kim's books way back with the Connection series (Team River for life!) and this book has proven she has still got the magic. Both characters were funny and relatable and the chemistry was off the charts. I loved the little spin on the haters- to- lovers storyline. It is one of my fav sub-genres and Kim nailed it. Cant wait for the next book!

There isn’t one iota that you won’t love about Nick. Okay so he let people think what they wanted about him even if it wasn’t always good. Like Tess’s view of him. She doesn’t exactly see him as anything but a arrogant jerk when the book first starts. And he doesn’t care but we see a shift and a change.

Nick has his heart open to Tess and he wants her to see the real him. See that he isn’t the jerk she made him out to be. And what is funny is he does this without even trying. He does this with his precious interactions with Max. that little kid will grab your heart and not let go. Him and Nick together and their bond will have you melt. And this is what grabs Tess as well.

Nick is the sweet guy you don’t really know. He has walled up his heart. He is also the standup guy who works hard and is fair and honest. He doesn’t pull punches but he also doesn’t like to see people taken advantage of so when he sees Tess may be he helps her. No strings attached. this helps Tess see him as more as well.

Tess is the girl who has a broken heart. She is not feeling very trusting of guys and that is understandable. She wants to have something be her own and that to is understandable. She is I am woman hear me roar at the moment due to her ex and his stupidity but that to me helps Nick become more attracted to her. She is unique for him. She makes him believe that it is okay to let a girl in. That not all woman will walk away.

In the time that they are taking care of Max, we see these two go through so much change. Nick falls in love and sees beyond just a relationship in bed. He respects and admires Tess. And Tess sees Nick as a kind and caring guy. She sees that he isn’t the jerk she thought he was and she melts everytime she sees Nick interact with Max. I know I did.

their attraction is through the roof and there story is sweet, sensual and honest. There is no pulling punches. Just a relationship that grows and becomes more. Where we see them fall in love and find a way to be together even when things look bleak they are there next to each other.

A story that captures your heart and has you entranced to the end as you fall in love with Nick and Tess and go with them on their journey to finding love with one another.

5.0 out of 5 stars A really great book.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 August 2018

I absolute adored this book. Tess is a young woman who after a bad break up with her French boyfriend moves back to Chicago to open up a gourmet cafe to call her own. Whilst she's there she ends up babysitting her best friends little one for two weeks so that Fiona can finally go on her honeymoon with her husband after 4 years of waiting but Ethan (the husband) doesn't think that Tess can cope on her own after the break up so without telling his wife or Tess he recruits his best friend Nick Carrington to help Tess look after Max, much to the dismay of Tess. The problem is that Tess does not get on with Nick and believes he's a Jerk of a Playboy.

But Nick comes to prove invaluable and as the two of them grow closer they realise that there is more beneath the surface than enemies, Nick confesses that he's always liked her but did believe her to be stuck-up, but as she was in a relationship he didn't pursue her. But as the passion comes forward, their relationship explodes with hot and sexy rendezvous and stolen moments when Max is asleep.

But as the story goes Tess is trying to find the perfect building for her cafe and instead gets involved with a notorious slumlord who tries to take her for all she's worth but with Nick's help she finds the perfect place and unbeknownst, that with Nick helping her, they anger Mr Bigalow who goes out for Blood from Tess and Nick's company, destroying deals and lives.

But all in all this book was very enjoyable with a hot and devilishly sexy jerk and a Young head strong woman who can give as good as she gets, they're perfect for each other.

This was a fun and sexy read! I loved the relationship between Tess and Nick. The tension is there from the start and continues as the story develops. Despite the quickness of their relationship timeline, I thought the development was strong enough to counteract the speed.

I also really liked how open all the characters were about sex and exploring sexuality in their relationships. That's not something that you get all the time in contemporary romance.

My only "peeve" was the drama. It was a little much near the end and I think the story would have been stronger without it.

*** 4.5 Stars ***

Kim Karr is starting Summer 2017 with a sizzling hot new book! Ladies turn up the fans, fill your glasses to the rim with ice because Sexy Jerk by Kim Karr is going to set you on fire.

Tess Winters has returned to Chicago after a failed relationship that forced her to sell out her half of the restaurant she worked tirelessly to establish. Tess, not being the kind of woman to tuck tail and run, has a new life plan. She’s going to open her new cafe on her own terms and create a business she has complete control over. Coming back to Chicago is a good thing as far as she is concerned. She has good friends to help keep her grounded as she rebuilds her career. The first thing on her agenda is taking care of her best friend’s little boy Max while she takes a much needed belated honeymoon with her husband. The second thing on her agenda is to find the right location to open her new cafe. While the first part should be easy, the second part is proving to be almost impossible. Between the expensive rental prices and shady real estate agents and landlords, finding the right location seems impossible. That is until the Sexy Jerk enters the picture.

Nick Carrington has been enlisted to help to Tess take care of Max. Spending time with the adorable little boy and a drop dead sexy woman isn’t a problem for Nick. He and Tess have met several times and he’d like to get to know her better.

Nick has always rubbed Tess the wrong way. She finds him arrogant and conceited until she gets to know him better. Her perceptions of him were completely wrong. He’s even helping her find a place to get her business up and running.

While Nick and Tess play house, the chemistry between the two is sizzling hot. When they hit the sheets it’s explosive. Is great sex enough to keep them together after the babysitting gig is over? When trouble hits both of their businesses can they survive the fall out?

Kim Karr has once again delivered a great story that is only the beginning. The array of secondary characters are screaming for their own books. Jace’s story is coming and I can’t wait to see what happens in this hot little corner of Chicago.
