To say things don't always go as planned would be an understatement...

I met Sarah at the airport.
Beautiful.
Sexy.
And a bit shy.
She was wobbling on heels that looked a little too big, so I offered her my seat. At first, she rebuffed my invitation, but I convinced her to stay.

My flight had been delayed and I assumed hers had too. I figured why not spend the time together.
One drink led to casual conversation--she'd recently been fired and I'd just attended my ex-fiancée's wedding.
Three drinks led to getting a little closer--I slid a hand on her thigh and my fingertips under the hem of her skirt.
Five drinks led to a proposition--a hotel room and nothing more.

After a mind-blowing night of the hottest sex I've ever had, I woke up alone and penniless. Turned out Sarah was looking for more--just not more of me. I should never have offered her my seat. I should never have drunk so much. And I never should have fallen asleep.

Not the smartest thing I've ever done.

Then again, who would have thought my self-proclaimed one-night stand would screw me in more than the literal sense.
That hooking up with Sarah would jeopardize everything I've worked for.
That Sarah wasn't really Sarah.

If she thinks things are over between us--she's wrong.
Turns out, fate didn't throw me the bird after all.
"Sarah" doesn't know it yet but she picked the same tropical island to escape to as I did.

Can you say--payback?
I can.
Karma baby.

Or that's what I thought--until I fell for her.

Too bad things don't always go as planned...

Amazing

Reviewed in Australia on 28 March 2018

Of course this book would be a five star read, I had no doubt in my mind. I have never read a bad book from this author, long may it continue.

Sadie works for a hot tabloid magazine, that is until she puts in a male model's picture for her love article, which she knows is a no no, or her so called assistant does, and she is let go from her job.

Trying to get her life back she goes off to the small town where she grew up, but which also holds a dark past, and bumps into an old friend. The story takes hold when a accident happens and changes Sadie’s world for the worse.

Jaxson (sun dance) is the model/ photographer that Sadie used in her story. He's running away from life to a new start and new job after his ex-fiancée gets married.

Their paths meet one stormy night in the airport when she is posing as someone else as part of a con and he is waiting to get on a plane to his new life. But, when they instantly click, can Sadie go along with the con, especially after spending the night having hot steamy sex with him?

I loved the characters in this book. They had real chemistry from the off and the mystery and suspense, along with the hot sex, made it an enjoyable can't-put-it-down read, the twists and turns kept you gripped right until the end. You might even find you fall a little in love with Jaxson and his dirty mind yourself.

What another great read by Ms. Karr.

Reviewed in Australia on 2 April 2018

Sadie Banks has always been a good girl, but when something happens and she needs money fast, she'll do anything to get it including stealing from someone. However, stealing from Jaxson Cassidy is a bad idea, especially when she steals his most prized equipment; equipment he needs for his career as a photographer. Yet, when Jaxson catches up with Sadie, he doesn't know whether he'll turn her in to the authorities or use what happened to his advantage. But once he makes a decision, Sadie knows she's lucky that Jaxson is the one she stole from, especially once Sadie discovers the lengths someone is willing to go to in order to see that she loses everything. Will Jaxson be able to help Sadie escape the clutches of a madman, or will they lose their shot at happy ever after?

Ms. Karr pens such attention-grabbing, spicy romances and this story was very entertaining due to the trouble Sadie is facing surrounding why someone is out to get her for things she did in the past. Will the truth come out before it's too late? However, it was from the moment the hero and heroine come face-to-face for the first time where this story really takes off, as Sadie doesn't know whether she can go through with what she has planned.

As for the dialogue, it was intense due to the main characters back stories, the trouble the heroine is facing and the obstacles this couple face on their journey to happy ever after. Will Jaxson believe Sadie's story? Will Jaxson turn her in? Will the trouble Sadie is facing because someone is determined to make her pay for the past work out for the best? Will Jaxson be able to get to the bottom of the heroine's troubles before anything too terrible happens? Moreover, I really enjoyed both the main characters and I liked that Jaxson was willing to be her savior because she certainly needs one after everything she's been through before they meet.

With the main characters, Sadie is resilient, courageous and I liked how determined she was to make things right, even if it means making hard decisions that may put her life in danger. I also liked how determined she was to make things right with Jaxson because he doesn't deserve what she does to him. While the hero, he's confident, hard-working and I liked how determined he was to help the heroine because it's palpable she needs someone on her side. I also liked how protective the hero was of the heroine and that he would do anything to make certain her past doesn't come back bite her, especially once he discovers how much of a psychopath the person out to get Sadie is. Will he be able to protect her before anything too bad happens to her?

Overall, Ms. Karr has delivered another wonderful read in this book where emotions run high because Sadie does wrong by Jaxson and then tries to make things right; the chemistry between this couple was intense and just kept getting stronger; the romance was fan-your-face hot and had me loving how determined the hero is to take care of Sadie; and the ending had me worried for one of the main characters, but had me loving how things work out for these two. No way will Jaxson allow Sadie to get away from him, especially not after what happens. However, it was the epilogue that wrapped this story up brilliantly, as the hero has wonderful and exciting news for the heroine. I would recommend Come a Little Closer by Kim Karr, if you enjoy the enemy to lovers trope, contemporary romance with a dash of suspense, or books by authors Melanie Harlow, Vi Keeland, Lauren Blakely and Tessa Bailey.

Many Twists and Turns Keeping You Hooked

Reviewed in Australia on 9 April 2018

Wow! Kim hooked me in right from the start. Stacey has a job as a blogger and loses her job finding herself alone and with no money. She hooks up from a blast from the past Simon who convinces her to steal since it the only way she can get money. She picks up Jaxson a photographer in a bar at the airport ending up going to share a hotel room with him when their flights get canceled. She wakes up early and does a runner with Jaxsons cameras and money he has in his wallet. She then panics and returns it to Jaxson leaving it outside their hotel room. She does a runner after a car accident while with Simon.Simon gets her a bogus ticket for a flight to Antiqua after she pays an official some bribe money. Sarah can't believe it when the next day she finds Jaxson at the same resort as herself panicking once again and running. Not sure whether he can trust her Jaxson gets a hacker friend to find all he can about Stacey.He finds things out he doesn't like and wonders if she's still lying to him. Events from Stacey's past involving her past start catching up with her leaving both Jaxson and Stacey in danger. This book has everything romance, angst, mystery, thrills and intrigue keeping you riveted and making this a hard to put down read. I received a copy (thank you) to do an honest review for Naughty Nightie Book Blog.

B o r i n g, and ridiculously annoying

Reviewed in the United States on 21 August 2019

Zzzzzzz omg this was truly just awful, in my opinion. The main male character was great, not a single complaint. The main female character - wow. What a waste of my time! So ate up. An incredible downer, and self inflicted, ridiculous storyline as to how she became such a huge downer. Alcohol plays a huge part, hates that it’s ruined her life growing up, etc don’t want to give too much away. But then everything that she inflicts upon herself leading to well, everything, involves - you guessed it. Over and over. What the hell?? It’s not the lighthearted rom com it presented itself to be. I tried so hard to hang in there till it started getting interesting, and I could care about anything here. Anything! I had purchased as a CD so I could listen on my drive home from work every day. I like to listen to Recorded Books (MP3, CD, etc) in the car at the end of the workday I kept trying to hang in there to get to the good part of the book where it would lift off and take me on its journey. Finally started skipping whole chapters after the 3rd day, then literally popped it out halfway thru and tossed it. Seriously. So mad I purchased as CD or I’d return it online, as I do with some books when they’re this bad. Here’s $20 I’ll never get back. Not worth the effort. Highly do not recommend.

Sometimes you have to go through a lot of heavy stuff to get to the other side! I’m so glad they both found happiness together! It was fate that they met & fell in love! I love the sweet note about the Yellow Ribbon that it’s a symbol of Hope, Faith & Love! Gives me hope that one day I’ll find someone as amazing as Jaxson! Loved this book so much! One thing that stood out to me, that I loved was, that Jaxson had goals for himself & his career, that he didn't just want to shoot for one publication, he wanted to shoot for them all! I also loved that he helped Sadie in her career as well. He knew how much she loved to write, so he took it upon himself to submit her writing to her former boss which worked out really well for the both of them! This was so emotional but in the end absolutely perfect! I want more of Jaxson & Sadie!!!! This is by far the most emotional book I've ever read. I really enjoyed this book though! I highly recommend it! #JaxsonandSadie #Fate #SundancePhotography #SupportiveCouple

Then running into a friend, she thought was one, turns her life upside down. Now she feels like she has so much to atone for, fix, make amends, can she. She meets Jaxsen, a bright spot for her, yet she feels she will drag him down with her. This is a must read, such a great read, emotional, heartbreaking, mentally challenging, degrading, drama, just all around great story! Loved the adventure, love of it😊❤️.

What a great little romance that really tells us that love is not perfect, but can form from a bunch of special connections we have to each other. I loved the suspense and the incredible heat coming from the chemistry between Sadie and Jaxson. So beautifully unique and special how they found that they had so much more in common than they originally thought.

This book was so much more than I expected, but in such a GREAT way.

Come A Little Closer was an exciting, intriguing and egg of your seat read. There were so many twists and turns that I couldn’t have predicted how this story was going to turn out. Kim Karr definitely knows how to delivery an OUTSTANDING romantic suspense novel.

Come A Little Closer is a standalone novel that is told in Dual POV. This is a companion novel to The Thing About Love. There are some interconnected characters that we see in both stories and the Hero of CALC, we first meet in The Thing About Love. You don’t have to read TTAL first before enjoying this story. Kim does a wonderful job filling in the blanks for the readers so you know how everything and everyone is connected. I truly feel these books can be read in any order and you won’t be lost.

I thought this book was well written. The pace and flow of this story was perfect. I loved how this story played out and how everything unfolded.

In this story we follow Jaxson and Sadie. Like I said we first met Jaxson in TTAL, he is Jules’s Ex. He is a professional photographer who has just been given the dream job. So he decides to help get over his break up with Jules, he is going to sell everything and live life and travel while he can. What he wasn’t expecting was to be stranded at the airport because his flight is canceled and then meeting Sadie. Sadie is a girl who is on her own and has been for awhile. She was just fired from her job and has gotten herself in a bit of trouble thanks to an old friend. This trouble has led her to the airport and to bump into Jaxson. What happens from here is a journey of lies, deceit, secrets but also finding love when you least expect it.

This was a great romantic suspense story, but it was also a story about finding love and having hope. You will learn that if you hold onto HOPE you can get through anything.

I would 100% recommend this book to all readers. This book had a little bit of everything for everyone. I think everyone should meet Jaxson and Sadie. This was one of my favorite reads this year!!!

Hot and Suspenseful Read

------------- Reviewed for 2OCC Reviews ---------------
I absolutely loved this story and the characters that were within this story. I loved that characters from the authors other book ‘The Thing About Love’ and we got to see what was happening with the main characters from that story. I loved the suspenseful element of this story and the way that the story kept me on the edge of my seat all the way through the story. There were many twists and turns throughout the story that I did not see coming. The storyline of this story was a definite page turner and I absolutely loved every page of this story.

Sadie Banks has had a string of bad luck in her life and her past is currently coming back to haunt her. It’s obvious that Sadie tries to the right thing in life, but circumstances cause her to sometimes do things that she doesn’t like. This causes her to feel like she is a bad person despite trying to the right thing.

Jaxson was introduced to readers in the authors other book ‘The Thing About Love’ and in this book we got to learn more about him. We learnt about the devastation he felt about his engagement to Jules ending and her marrying someone else. We also got to see the hot dominant alpha male that created some incredible hot moments in the story. Jaxson I absoltuly loved reading about and found him to be not only incredible sexy character but also a good guy.

Come a little closer is about Sadie Banks whose life completely change due to circumstances out of her control. This sees her meeting Jaxson who was at the top of his career and sees the good in her. But Sadie thinks she is a bad girl that doesn’t deserve love, can the good guy turn her around.

Kim Karr has written an incredible story that flowed all the way through. This story had everything I love in a story, angst, drama, suspense, romance and steamy moments to create an engaging storyline. These two characters are amazing together that had an intense connection between them that resulted in many hot moments. This is a definite must read for everyone and one that I highly recommend.

Sexy, angsty...

Reviewed in the United States on 29 March 2018

If you’re anything like me, all it takes is a good blurb and cover to be reeled in. Come A Little Closer did just that. Kim Karr delivered a sexy, angsty, thriller that captivated me. It was so full of twists and turns. This was one of those books that just when you think you know what will happen next, the complete opposite happens.

Sadie Banks life hasn’t been an easy one. Just when she thinks things are finally a bit better, she is fired from her job. She returns home to a past that continuously haunts her. Something happens while she’s there which eventually leads to her first encounter with Jaxson.

Jaxson Cassidy is photographer who is chasing his dreams. He is just about to shoot a swimsuit cover for Sports Illustrated. His flight gets cancelled so he goes to the airport bar to drink the night away. While he’s at the bar, he sees Sadie walk in and he is determined to meet her. Sadie is there for a reason although Jaxson is not aware of the reason.

There’s so much more that happens between these two that I don’t want to spoil. I’ll just say that these two together are extremely hot. You definitely have to get Come A Little Closer and get ready to enjoy their journey. You’re going to be taken on one heck of a ride!

Sadie Banks is having a tough time. She’s been fired from her job and is back home to take care of the estate of the man that was more a father than her real dad. Then she meets a childhood friend and a fateful accident will put her on a path she never expected to travel.
Jaxson Cassidy aka Sundance has upended his world, closed his business and sublet his apartment to go after the chance of a lifetime after winning a contest to take pictures for a prestigious magazine.
While stranded at the airport during a storm Sadie and Jaxson will meet and have a steamy one night stand that will lead them to an unbelievable adventure.
For the first time, I found myself struggling with a book by this author. I found it difficult to follow the story and I honestly couldn’t make heads or tails out of it until well past half the book. I found Sadie’s logic flawed and her line of thinking didn’t make sense to me.
That said, once the story started unravelling, I managed to enjoy the rest of the book and it was not a complete loss for me. :(

Review: Come a Little Closer

Reviewed in the United States on 29 March 2018

Verified Purchase

Come A Little Closer by Kim Karr is a fabulous, sexy, standalone romantic mystery told in dual POV and belonging to the same book world as The Thing About Love.

Sadie is in a downward spiral that hits rock bottom on Moon Island, Georgia. Finding herself desperate she wrongs the man she had a one-night stand with, Jaxson, and tries to move one past it. Finding hat she can't she then tries to make amends and ends up running. Ending up on the Island of Antigua with nothing but the clothes on her back and $100 American dollars she runs into the one person she was running away from and the story just explodes from there. Intrigue, lust, romance, guilt. All of it.

Jaxson is the ex-fiancé of Jules from The Thing About Love. While the books exist in the same world they do not need to be read as part of a series, are NOT part of a series, I just loved the tie-in.

The book was so well-written and the plot twisted in just the right ways to always leave you feeling like something was just not sitting right. It was a prefect match to how I imagined the characters would be feeling. Loved it Hard! Enjoy!

A sexy, sweet, love story built on secrets, lies, and underlying mysteries.

Reviewed in the United States on 28 March 2018

Verified Purchase

It would be easy to spoil this book so this will be vague...

Sadie Banks was having a bad day and had no idea it was about to get even worse. And when she tries to do something to help the situation, her life just gets even more complicated.

Jaxson Cassidy lost the woman he thought he would marry. Now he is stepping outside of his comfort zone, taking chances, and embracing new opportunities.

Their paths cross. Their lives become entwined. They have chemistry. But there are secrets, lies, and hidden agendas. When truths start to be revealed, the plot thickens. And they keep getting deeper and deeper. But can they really trust? Is someone playing games?

This is a sexy, sweet, love story built on secrets, lies, and underlying mysteries. They are two lost and lonely souls that forge a connection and develop strong needs. They are riding the line between good and bad. They both have usually felt unwanted and not good enough. They have up walls and tend to be runners. They have some things in common, and are compatible. They challenge each other. She brings out his more assertive, dirty talking, dominant side. While he makes her feel safe and wanted. They make each other feel alive and passionate. But is it real or just a temporary distraction?

There are some things you can't run from even if you try.

I was glad Jaxson got his own book. He was broodier and bossier than I expected him to be, and was embracing a bit more of a bad boy persona. He doesn't want to be the good guy that finishes last anymore. Sadie was a bit harder to warm up to since so much negative was going on around her, but she grew on me. I enjoyed cameos from Jules, Jake, and Finn from The Thing About Love, but this can also be read as a total stand-alone. This story had some interesting surprises and twists, and I was glad to get dual points of view. I am looking forward to more with Finn, the hacker/fighter in an upcoming book.
