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?

Sexy Jerk was a fun, steamy read with a lot of edge. I love this world that Kim Karr created. Once I started this book, I could not put it down. Tess and Nick completely stole my heart. I was completely hooked! This story was written with dual POVs. I was able to connect more with Tess and Nick being inside both of their heads. The character development was spot on. Tess and Nick both grew so much throughout the story. Both characters were multi-faceted and I loved that. There was so much more with these two that they kept hidden. Who they really were and what they liked.
I fell in love with Tess. She seems to have so much going on and was just completely struggling. With everything. She didn't know who she was anymore. Going through a break-up that left her devastated, Tess struggles with finding out who she really is. She realizes that she changed into who Ansel wanted her to be. Tess did not like Nick at all. She was always calling him names. Jerk being the most common. With Nick being there, she finally started to open up and become herself again. Her kinky side started to come back out! Her family really messed her up over that. After what her mom and dad did to her, she always questioned what type of person she was. But Tess never gave up! She was so stubborn and never backed down. She grew so much and I loved seeing the real Tess that came out.
There was something so magnetic about Nick. He drew you in without even meaning to. I fell in love with this man. He is sexy as sin! Flat out hot! And that smirk of his!!! Just wow! Nick doesn't let women into his heart after what happened to his mother. That is until Tess came into the picture. His feelings slowly grew for her the more time they spent together. He didn't delve into what those feelings meant since he was afraid. What happened to make him so afraid? There is so much more to Nick than meets the eye. He lets people think he is a horrible person, but really he is a sweetheart. I loved seeing the soft and protective side of Nick.
The supporting characters in this book were some of my favorite. I loved Fiona, Ethan and Jace. They were always there when Nick and Tess needed them. They had struggles as well that they were facing and I loved seeing the dynamics change for them as well. I also started to fall in love with the people that Nick works with. Would love to see more of Ash and Hayden as well. There was just something about them that drew me in. Wanting to know more.
I loved that this was an enemies-to-lovers story. The witty banter between these two was perfect. It was hilarious how they talked to each other. Nick and Tess were perfect for each other only they didn't know it. Made for each other it seemed. I loved see their relationship evolve. These two completely bring each other back. To the real Nick and Tess. It was so sweet! They had some very hot and steamy scenes together. The chemistry between Nick and Tess was off the charts.
I loved the epilogue at the end so much!! I wanted so much more though!! Nick and Tess mentioned wanting a family and since they were so good with Max, I would have loved to have seen that. The story ended a little abruptly for me. I wanted to see more of all went down with the bad guy. I just loved this story so much that I wanted to see more!
Sexy Jerk was a captivating read that definitely left me wanting more. The romance in this story was beautifully done. It was just one of those romances that left me feeling happy. Put a smile on my face. I can't wait to see where Kim Karr takes us in Big Shot which is Jace's story!!!
