Nico is a musician/songwriter and former child-actor. He also is a lover of women. But lately he can’t think of any other woman but the beautiful waitress at the coffee shop. So he does everything he can to get her to go out with him.

Kat is a single mom who put her photography/documentary movies career on hold to raise him and give him everything she could.

This was another great read by Kayley Loring. It was cute, funny, and quirky. She wove a great story about how a single mom and a musician found love. Nico was soo swoon worthy how he not only fell for Kat, but her son also. The way he was when Tate’s father was in the picture, soo sweet!

A great read. I just want more like it!

Ugh. This was my least favorite out of the series - not saying I didn’t like it, but I didn’t love it like I loved Sleeper and Troublemaker.

Nico’s character was amazing. He really carried the book. His vulnerability from the first page really stole the show. He deserved so much better than what Kat was giving him.

Kat - yuck. I don’t even know how else to describe what I felt about her. She was too confusing and I really didn’t feel that she loved Nico like he deserved.

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!

Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: N/A

The writing was witty and the banter between the MCs good. The story itself wasn't that complex but it was entertaining, i do wish there was more build up and depth to the romance between Kat & Nico and Nicos relationship with Tate but the chemistry between the MCs was good and the spice decent.🌶🌶

Sweet

This was such a sweet story. Loved all the characters especially Tate he'd melt your heart. Definitely 5 star worthy book!

OKAY, I LOVE THIS AUTHOR. This book gave me so many FEELS!!! Nico grabbed my heart with his longing and patience. At one point in the story it actually made me cry. I mean. Come on. I was totally CHARMED by CHARMER!

That was super cheesy and I don't even care.

What a great read! I have looked forward to Nico’s story since reading Sleeper, and it did not disappoint! Unique, funny, quality main characters as well as a fantastic supporting cast and excellent storyline. Kayley Loring has once again written a feel-good story with some outright funny moments. From the first chapter I was hooked on this page turner.

Charmer was such a fun and engaging story. It really gave me the happy feels when I was reading it. Kayley Loring has quickly become a go-to author when I want to read a really witty, low angst, steamy romance.



My thoughts about Charmer
It was an ok read for me. I liked the style, liked the characters and the story was just fine. So I did give it 3 stars, because the book isn’t the problem.

I think I’m the problem. I’ve read a lot of dark romance and I just missed.. not the dark. Just twists and turns. Something unexpected. Everything just flowed in this story. It just followed the curve of the river. I just missed a twist or something in the story. Plus I didn’t really get a star-feel. Like he was on a tourbus and at night he needed to play his songs… but I don’t know… I just didn’t get the feel.

I really liked that Tate, Kat’s son, was a huge part of the story. Most of the time you read that chars have kids, but you just occassionaly see them, but not in this story. I also loved Kat’s mom as well as Nico’s grandma. They had awesome oneliners which I really appreciated.

It was an ok read overall for me and I think a lot of people will enjoy this story. It just isn’t one I will remember on the long term, I think. Which is totally fine. I still enjoyed it.


Meh. This was just ok for me. I didn’t feel any chemistry between these two. And Kat was annoying. I think the single mom trope just doesn’t work for me. I’ve got enough of my own kid chaos going on in real life. I don’t want to read about it!

I loved it

You have the rockstar and the single mom, and then toss those two along with the kid and single mom’s mom on a tour bus… magical!!! I wasn’t sure how I was going to feel about Nico, but I ended up loving him. And Katherine and Tate and Lou, they are all so lovable and fabulous.
