4.7 StarsMy 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?
Tessa has just broken up with her french chef boyfriend of six years and left New York to go back home to Chicago.
She's planning on opening her own little Café.
But first she'll play 24-hour-Nanny for two weeks for her best friend Fiona's three-year-old son Max.
What she didn't know before signing up for that job is, that Nick will be her co-manny!
Nick. Best friend of Fiona's hubby Ethan. And she can't stand the guy! He's a horrbile manwhore and just a plain jerk!!
But of course after living with him for a couple of days, and after he helped her out with finding an affordable place for her Café, she starts seeing different sides of him.
He's still that cocky jerk. But he's also a very adorable and sweet jerk. He's sooo cute with the kid and he's listening to her and helping her. But he's also dropping one sexual innuendo after the other!!! And the looks he's throwing at her .... grrrrrr - the same ones she's throwing at him.... ☺
WHAT WILL HAPPEN WITH TESS & NICK?
WILL THEY GO FROM ENEMIES TO CO-NANNIES TO FRIENDS TO LOVERS TO HAPPILY EVER AFTER????
READ THE BOOK TO FIND OUT ☺
Such an adorable book!!!!
You immediately like Nick and Tess. And you also immediately hate Tess's ex. The stupid, cheating ass of a french guy!
Nick and Tessa met dozens of times at various events their friends hosted. But they never liked each other. There was attraction - mega attraction even - but she though he was a cocky manwhore and he thought she was a stuck-up bitch!
Adorable!
But now's the right time for them!! They only have to get to know the real person behind the one they always disliked!
And they're doing that in such an adorable way for the reader to witness. Babysitting cutie Max and trying to find grown-up moments while he's asleep! Too cute.
And we also have a tiny little suspensy/criminal side-story happening!
Exciting stuff!
Great romance with a great cast - can't wait to see what Jace & Lucas will have to tell us!!!!
SEXY JERK was such an adorable and funny and erotic and exciting enemies to friends to lovers romance!!!! Run to your nearest amazon for your own Nick - this one is MINE!!!!
ARC received for an honest review
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.
