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?

My Review
“That thing happens again. The thing where my body feels like it’s on fire. I swear ever my cheeks feel a little flushed from the flames. The non-existent ones.”
“He is kissing me again. Harder. Hot. Nipping. Licking. Sucking. Until I am breathing his air and he is breathing mine.”
“He kisses me like he’s starved. Like I’m the only thing that matters. Like I’m his. Hot. Torrid. Consuming.”
“I’m not going to tell you being with me is going to be easy. I’m a dick. An asshole. A jerk.” “And that isn’t going to change overnight. I’m unsteady. In uncharted water. And I’m going to fuck up.”
Unexpected. Fun. Sexy. Thrilling. Entertaining as hell. That’s how I would describe Sexy Jerk.
Lately I have been on the biggest enemies to lovers kick and I have to tell you, Sexy Jerk takes the cake. Sexy Jerk is so much fun. It is incredibly well written, smart and entertaining. The banter between Nick and Tess had me hooked instantly. I loved their interactions. They played so well off of one another and they had the most amazing chemistry. I loved their push and pull. And what can I say, I’m a sucker for the misunderstood playboy. I really enjoyed watching Nick make his move on Tess. There was so much more to him than meets the eye. Sure he was one sexy jerk, but he also had the biggest heart, was 100% alpha male and an incredible partner. And Tess was just great. She was fiercely independent and gave just as good as she got. She was very protective of her heart and it took a man like Nick to turn her world upside down and show her that this playboy was a prince at heart.
So, what can I tell you about Sexy Jerk?? Simply put, I loved it. I loved it. I loved it. Did I mention that I loved it? I would even venture to say that it is one of my top books by this author to date. This book had it all: Sexy and fun characters, An interesting story-line, characters that were easy to relate and connect with. There was drama. There was angst. There was lots of delicious tension and lots of sinfully, sexy good times. I’m telling you this book had it all and more than delivered on the feels. I easily devoured this book in just one sitting and refused to put it down. This book was so unexpected and completely knocked my socks off. I absolutely loved every second of Sexy Jerk and would definitely recommend checking this one out.
*I was provided an ARC copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review*
