Publisher's summary

Nico

She serves me coffee late at night when I come around to write lyrics, but it’s not the caffeine I’ve gotten addicted to. We’ve got the spark, but she’s the only woman in town who seems to be immune to my charms. When it’s time for me to leave for my cross-country tour, I just can’t imagine not seeing her for months. So I offer her a job on the road with me.

Kat

Everyone in LA knows that Nico Todd has a way with songs and with the ladies. What he doesn’t know is that I would love to let him have his way with me. But my life can only revolve around one infuriatingly cute guy - the six-year-old that I live with. Imagine my surprise when Nico finds out about my little boy and tells me to bring him and my mom on the road too.

And imagine Nico’s surprise when he realizes my son is the biggest charmer of them all.

Absolutely 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!

Jason Clarke is so good. He made Nico. He had the perfect softness to the tone with his deep growly voice. Mackenzie Cartwright does Kayley’s books so well. I just love her timing. She can make a simple line humorous. I really enjoyed the audio for this one.

This book is every bit as good as Sleeper

Gosh, Kayley Loring is one of my very favorite authors. This is another 'hit it out of the park' story for me. Charmer has the same feel that (Book 1) Sleeper has, and that's okay with me because after reading Sleeper I really wanted a reboot and this story was exactly what I was hoping for.

Charmer's got that warm, comfortable aura that makes it feel safe to immerse yourself in this story, like you're not going to get your heart broken or regret reading it. This is really Nico's story. We delve deeply into his thoughts and personality through his song lyrics and interviews, and see him to be the epitome of a book boyfriend—open, patient, romantic, devoted and unwilling to give up on her. We're placed into his unique world as a musician on tour and Ms. Loring paints such a believable picture that you wonder how much of it is the result of personal experience.

Nico has an unexplainable pull to this woman Kat. He's just ready for something real after all those years on the road, and Katherine is very, very real. She's got responsibilities that supersede her own dreams and desires, and she doesn't let herself get distracted. She challenges Nico's resolve, but to his credit he never waivers. There's minimal angst in this story which is classic Kayley Loring and which I appreciate more than you know.

The story is enhanced by some great secondary characters. The little boy Tate is a special gem, the two grandmas are priceless, and the characters from Sleeper are generously written in.

I guess it's kind of hard to separate these two books Sleeper and Charmer. When I think of one, I think of the other. I'm not comparing them because I can't in any way say that one is better than the other. They're like twins and I couldn't possibly choose a favorite. You could read this book as a standalone, but do yourself a favor and read both.

When he knows what he wants

Nico is a child TV star turned musician that returns to the same coffee shop night after night for her. Kat is a waitress doing what she needs to do for her son and is content in her life, but not necessarily happy. When Nico sets his sights on Kat and offers her an opportunity that will change her life, she is hesitant but goes with it. What happens next is a wonderful story of them falling in love and finding their happily ever after!

Jason Clarke nailed it as Nico and his singing....swoon worthy! Mackenzie Cartwright did an amazing job as Kat and really made you feel right along with her. Definitely worth the listen!

a good time

I had a great time with this story. No stress...all the giggles and swoons and feels and that luxurious voice of Jason Clark. I really liked Mackenzie Cartwright in Sleeper but she stood out in this story! The poop humour, adorable kiddies, sassy elders, good adult sexy times, romantical realness and multiple Bon Jovi references make this a wonderful place to go. Im left satisfied and in a happy good mood. Priceless.

Great drama free romance.

Audiobook review: This was a really good book. There was basically no drama, which is nice for a romance with a singer as the hero. Usually you have many women coming around causing trouble, not with this one.

Kat is a single mom working the night shift so she can be there for her son in the morning when he goes to school and there in the afternoon when he is done. She has her mom to lean on but that’s it. She wasn’t looking for love when Nico comes into her coffee shop.

Nico was instantly infatuated by Kat when he sees her in the coffee shop. He starts going in as much as possible. But she doesn’t seem interested in him and just serves him when he comes in. It takes a while but these two start talking and things grow from there.

He finds out she is a photographer and asks her to come on tour with him. She’s so excited to get back to her true passion that she accepts and so their romance begins.

I loved how Nico was with Tate. Nico was such a great guy and always wanted what was best for Kat, Tate and her mom. Nico was able to win over everyone with his Charmer ways.

Loved the narration. Jason Clarke is always magnificent and I really enjoy Mackenzie Cartwright as well.

Loved Nico!

I loved this book so much, I listened to it in one evening. Kayley Loring has written another sweet, sexy, funny & captivating book, which is full of fabulous & quirky characters. Nico was completely swoon worthy, especially due to the sexy & amazing voice talents of Jason Clarke! ❤️ It was an extra treat to get to hear him sing again. Mackenzie Cartwright was also great as Kat, Lou Lou Tate & others. Delightful listen, though I did find that Kat's "helicopter mom" over-protective tendencies towards her son became somewhat exasperating. Still a five star listen!

5 Stars for Nico and Kat

I loved every part of this book! It was so smoking hot but also sweet, romantic and funny. The book has some great humor and lots wonderfully emotional scenes. My favorite part was with Nico and Tate after the night with Tate's dad. Kayley does such a fantastic job with her books. Every one I read/listen to becomes my favorite!

Jason and MacKenzie are perfect as Nico and Kat. MacKenzie's emotional performance as Tate just broke my heart is was so good. Both narrators are so good at doing the different voices.
