I loved this book so much, I couldn’t put it down! Finished it by 4.30am in the morning!!

Kat, single mom, works as a waitress in a restaurant. Preferably the night shift, so by day she’s there for her son Tate.

Nico, singer, comes by to that restaurant almost every night Kat works as he’s intrigued by her and wants to date her.
Nico is preparing to go on tour for 3 months, but he doesn’t want to leave Kat, so he offers her a job to tour with him.

3 months on a tour bus with a hot singer? The chemistry is off the charts high, you can literally feel it through your kindle!! I laughed a lot, I swooned, I felt all the things!!!

If you’re up for a lovely, funny, swoony, sexy, hot, a bit angsts story , than look no further!! I absolutely devoured this book!!!

Charmer is book 2 (Sleeper is book 1), but it’s a stand-alone, you can read this book and not miss a thing, but believe me, Sleeper is so worth the read as well!!!

I kindly received an arc and voluntarily left a review

This book kept me smiling and laughing from start to finish!

Nico is a child actor turned actor who is drawn to Kat a single mom who works at the diner he frequents. Nico hires Kat to video behind the scenes on his new tour. My favorite part was how Nico formed relationship with not only Kat but her family especially with her son Tate. Charmer was just the book I needed to help me get out of my book funk and I love Kayley’s humor.

Jason Clarke and Mackenzie Cartwright’s performances were fantastic. Both narrators did an amazing job with capturing the emotions of their characters and voicing all the supporting characters. One of my favorite narrations from Jason and Mackenzie and added bonus is Jason singing!

The story and narration were both five star rating for me. If you need a good laugh and a feel good story definitely pick this one up!

Kat and Nico's story was full of longing and cuteness. I enjoyed the majority of the characters (appropriately disliked the one - he knows who he is). I didn't like this one as much as I liked Sleeper. I will say that Nico was high on my list of swoony awesomeness and I would relisten to this book just for him. Jason Clarke was awesome!

Well, I sure am Charmed by this one!

Nico was likeable as the heroine’s brother/hero’s best friend in book 1 of the series, Sleeper. He is absolutely loveable in Charmer. You can tell immediately he has matured a bit, so it isn’t surprising when he has someone catch and hold his attention. This someone is a waitress, Kat, who keeps him at arms length for some time, and the wait is so good. Kat as a mom, I loved it. She felt real. Her struggles and insecurities as a mom were so relatable. Nico’s pursuit of Kat was so enjoyable. The focus the story had on his career was so good. He has his monolouge about why he because a singer/songwriter. It is really beautiful. And the songs, swoon. This story felt believable. The way Nico fell for Kat, the way he respected her and gave her the space and time she needed was fantastic. Kayley Loring did it so well with this one. She combines the right amount of humor, great characters both main and side, a lot of depth, a lovable lady and a swoony man!

Sorry Shane and Keaton, but you’ve both been demoted to #2 and #3 on my Kayley Book Boyfriend list.

I LOVED every single thing about this book. Nico is a charmer, he is talented, sweet, caring, loving, protective. It is impossible not to fall in love with him. Kat is a single mom to the most adorable little boy, she is hard working and insanely talented. She is loving and caring and strong. There is so much chemistry between Nico and Kat from the moment the met. Kat tries to deny it, but you can only resist the Nico charm for so long before you cave. Together they are explosive in the best way possible. I’ve never read about a hotter haircut! Tate, Kat’s son, he is ADORABLE. Seriously, the kid stole the show. He is super sweet, fun, loves magic tricks and jokes. Plus, the bond he forms with Nico is adorable (serious ovary explosion).

The Nico and Shane bromance aka #TeamShanico is something I never knew I needed in my life but I’m glad it is there now. It was loving, caring, hilarious and everything you would expect for two best friends turned brother in laws. There are not enough words to describe how much I love their relationship, but it is just something you have to read.

The secondary characters are perfect and add so much to this story from Tate, to more of Willa, Shane, Summer and Lucky, to the bus driver Ricky and my two favorite grandmothers EVER, Grammie and Lou. Those two KILLED me. They had me laughing and added so much to Nico and Kat’s story.

If you love a single mom, Rockstar, slow burn romance full of laughs, tears and heat then you’ll definitely want to get ready to have your pants charmed off by Nico! A MUST READ!!!!
