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.

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.

This was the perfect comfort read! Sweet and funny and sexy. Nico is Willa from Sleeper's big brother and when we first met him, he was a total player, only interested in getting laid but this book is ~2 years later and he's apparently sowed his wild oats and ready to settle down with single mom, Kat, who he meets at a late night diner, and returns to every night just so that he can see her.
This was fairly low-angst and Willa, Shane, Summer, Lucky and Grammie make great cameos in his HEA.
There's some great competence porn - Kat is a photographer/documentary filmmaker and Nico hires her to cover his tour and he gets turned on by how she talks about her work.
I'm going to have to go back and binge-read Loring's back catalogue now.

I loved the story and i adored how much time Nico invests in not only winning over Kat but also her little boy. It’s sweet, and made for an easy and entertaining read. The writing style was easy to get used to, and I enjoyed so many sweet moments in this book.

Quick, cute. I really enjoyed Loring’s writing style and avoidance of over-the-top drama. I expected to read more of Kat’s thought process from hesitant to all in, but it skipped over it. I loved the songs, they were sweet and actually pretty good - the only drawback was they all rhymed.
"That first kiss was the end of me. And the beginning of us."
I did NOT mean to finish this book at 10pm without even having had dinner. I swear I meant to read a couple more chapters and the rest of it in bed. Well, we're long past that now. Because who cares about dinner when there's a lump in my throat right now, and it's both the sappy kind and the happy kind, and I'm in love with this book.
"Nico Todd really is every kind of trouble, and every part of me wants to get into all of it."
Nico Nico Nico Nico Nico... I don't even... I mean, OK, he's a musician, and I have a soft spot for those. He's a stud muffin, and we all have a soft spot for those. But there's more about him. I love that we get to see some of his songs, and that he expresses what he feels by writing them. I love how devoted he is. And how intense everything about him is. But mostly, I love how hard the guy who is seen as the playboy falls for Kat. And I mean hard.
"She laughs a sad little laugh. And this is how she hooks me, like a hit song that I can’t get out of my head."
Thank you, Kayley Loring, for writing a woman with a dirty mouth who is open about sex, who knows, and says what she wants! And who almost jumps Nico's bones in a parking lot outside a bar, because she wants to. YES! Kat (Katherine, with all her syllables) is a single mom with a film degree, working at a diner at night so that she can spend the day with her son, Tate. She lives with her mom. Her life's far from perfect, but it's OK. And then one night Nico goes to the diner for coffee, and everything's about to change for both of them.
“Where have you been?” comes a shockingly girlish, almost whiny voice that I do not want to accept as mine.
“All over and never where I wanted to be, which is wherever you are.”
I was full-on prepared not to like Nico for some reason. No idea why. Even if he is a singer-songwriter. Even if he was kind of cute in the previous book in the series. Man, that was out the window when I started reading about him at a diner waiting for a waitress to notice him, or touch him in passing, and writing songs about her without even knowing her. I think I lost my heart to Nico when he asked Kat for a thirty-second date. I'm sure I totally lost it when they danced in the parking lot.
"I’m not exactly the same guy that I was before that first night I met you. I’m not the guy I want to be for you yet either. All I can say is that I want the chance to become that guy for you."
She doesn't give him the time of day until she can't really help it. And then he asks her to come on tour with him to film him for a fan documentary, so she can actually put her degree to use. So that he can see her every day. With her mom, and her kid.
And just like that, the guy who didn't even know how to handle his best friend's kids suddenly finds himself drawn to her kid, and completely lost for Kat.
“I don’t want you to not be you, Nico. You’re amazing. I love being with you.”
“Then just fucking be with me.”
So, they're stuck on a tour bus together, and their feelings for each other are palpable. Of course there are issues, but not much angst. She's a single mom, her kid needs to come first. She's scared of what's coming and how life is going to work out for the three of them.
But there's so much want, lust, and love between them, and it's so heartwarming to see them let go. To see Nico realize how far gone he really is, and to see Kat understand she really can have everything.
Random thought: any book that mentions Jerry Maguire (one of my favorite movies ever!) and Bon Jovi deserves an award from me. It's almost unfair. Seriously?
"This woman is not just the one at the end of the line and the end of the road; she is the beginning of everything that really matters."
All jokes aside, this is a heartwarming book and a sweet read, with some steamy moments. It's romantic, with an emotional side, and a dirtier side. And it's all kinds of dreamy.
Kat was worried about being the girl left waiting at the end of the line and at the end of the road if she let herself be with Nico. All she needed to realize was that, for him, all lines and all roads lead to her.

I really liked the first book in this series so I was excited to read CHARMER. If you like a book where the hero PUTS IN THE WORK to woo the heroine then you will love this book! Nico goes from unattached playboy to patiently charming single mom, Kat, until she is ready to risk her heart. Along the way there are about a gazillion swoony-worthy moments between Kat and Nico. Can I have a sexy Rockstar sing to me while dancing me around a parking lot...please?
Kat is a single mom and I was so happy to see her son portrayed as a regular 5 year old! He is adorable, precocious, and happy. But he also has tantrums, hard days, and picky eating moments. I loved that!
And this book has STEAM FOR DAYS! Panty-Combusting goodness, people. I loved the chemistry between these two characters and they have a freaking hot, but also hilarious, make-out in the parking lot of her work that was perfection.
If you haven't read this series yet you definitely should! It's funny, swoony, and sexy.
