The Thing About Love (Imperfect Love) Kindle Edition

by Kim Karr (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 492 ratings
From New York Times bestselling author Kim Karr comes a flirty new love story.

The whole stethoscope-and-white coat thing isn't my cup of tea.

I prefer a man with an artistic vein in his body. 9 - 5 hours. And I can definitely do without the half-lidded, sleepy bedroom eyes. (Okay, so those are kind of sexy.)

Tall, dark, and handsome doesn't change the fact that he's arrogant, cocky, and rude.
Not that I care, but he's made it clear he wants nothing to do with a quirky girl like me, which is why he said no.

Turns out no isn't an option.

I have a quickie wedding to plan, and Dr. Jake Kissinger doesn't have a choice. He looks at our situation like he's stuck with me, but in reality, I'm stuck with him. Stuck with his pouty mouth. His long, lean body. And stuck with those loose, low riding scrub pants. (Okay, so the doctor thing is growing on me.)

When spending time together turns into more than it should, I know I'm in trouble.
He isn't supposed to make my heart pound.
I'm not supposed to make him look twice.
And we aren't supposed to spend the night together. (Okay, so he has more than one artistic vein in his body, and other places.)

Falling for him is definitely a mistake.

Here's the thing...
Jake is unavailable, and I know it.
Just not in the way you might think.

I guess you can't have your cake and eat it too.

The Wedding
5 out of 5 stars
The Wedding
Five Amazing Stars The Wedding I was absolutely thrilled to enjoy this wonderful new romance written by one of my favourite authors, Kim Karr. This wonderful medical tale involving such a gorgeous most sexiest doctor. I was just so excited to read this excellent book! Jules Easton was so very stressed. She’s is trying to convince herself to relax, to be calm. She knew herself that she was planned and ready to meet this woman for the meeting that was previously arranged. This woman who was now engaged to the son of a Governor. To be their Wedding Planner. Jules was still amazed and completely surprised and shocked about this wonderful chance to work with famous or even well known people. Dressed so confidence ready for her first meeting. Walking down the street seeing these gorgeous, attractive homes where Jules was to meet Rory Kissinger at the Bride Box, a most wonderful Wedding Bakery itself. Jules was filled with complete excitement smelling all the gorgeous flavours. She was formally greeted by Montgomery, a well dressed mature man. Who was very sweet and congenial towards the ladies. It was together that both Montgomery and Jules would enjoy a piece of this fabulous chocolate cake before she meet up with the Wedding Party. I thoroughly adored this most wonderful, most romantic, fabulous book. I loved all the amazing characters throughout. Couldn’t once put this book down. It was simply such a brilliant book to enjoy. Well done Kim Karr!!!! * I recommend this book to everyone!!

    I didn’t know what to expect going into this book, but after reading the blurb I knew I had to read it.

    I was pleasantly surprised the amount of emotion this story brought out of me. I was laughing at times, swooning at other times, and also crying my eyes out. I think what took me by surprise the most was the background story of Jules and Jake….I wasn’t expecting the topic it covered. This story was both heart wrenching and heart warming.

    The Thing About Love is Kim Karr’s newest standalone novel in her newest series. Each book is going to focus on a new character/couple, but we do meet all the other characters in this story. This is an enemies to lovers story and is told in Dual POV. I thought the pace and flow of the story was perfect and I couldn’t help but get swept up in the storyline. I loved the characters that we met….not only Jules and Jake, I loved the secondary characters as well. They all played an important part in this novel.

    We follow Jules and Jake’s journey to finding love and forgiveness. Jules is a woman trying to run and takeover her Uncle’s wedding business and is having a hard time with it. Jake is a local ER doctor who would do anything for his sister Rory, except maybe hire the wedding planner she wants….Jules. To say that Jules and Jake’s first meeting was stress filled and also filled with misunderstanding is an understatement. But when Jake’s failing grandma requests that they move Rory’s wedding up so she can be there, Jake knows he has no other choice but to hire Jules. What happens from here is an entertaining and swoony story about two people learning to open up. Can Jules and Jake work out their differences?? Will these two ever find their HEA?? Read this fun filled but also emotional romance story.

    I would definitely recommend this book to everyone. I think once you pick up this book, you will find it hard to put down. You will also become invested in the characters and storyline. If you are already a fan of Kim Karr’s writing then you don’t want to miss her latest masterpiece!!!!

    Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    I’ve read several of Kim Karr’s books, but I feel this one is the closet to a sweet romantic version that’s she’s written. Don’t get me wrong, it had a sexy edge and unending witty and hot banter.

    Jules was a wedding planner. Her first meet and greet with a high end client went wrong very quickly. However; she was able to recoup her chance at keeping her client.

    Enters Jake. He’s actually the reason the meet and greet went sour. But through a series of events she ends up having to work with the sexy Dr. Jake Kissinger in order to pull off the wedding of her career, not to mention in record time.

    Jake was a fascinating character. Sexy, and cheeky with his attitude sometimes bordering on quiet arrogance. He was the Ying that kept this story alive. His character was strong willed, good looking, sexy, witty, and it didn’t hurt to have the Dr. McSteamy factor in play. He was every girls wish list.

    I felt the storyline was cute, and I loved the romantic vibe between the couple. Definitely your HEA.

    Personally, one of the greatest and most heartwarming plots in the story was circled around Jake and Jules 9-11 past. The amazing realization of their cosmic connection had me tearing up. I teared up more than once during this read.

    All in all it was a good, sexy, and romantic read. I kept picturing Jake exactly as the cover, which made imagining Jakes character a breeze.

    I give this book a 3.75 to 4.0 stars. The only reason is because Jules character seemed to lack focus at times. Without Jake her character didn’t seem to stand on her own very well. It didn’t dampen it enough that I didn’t enjoy the book.

    Kim Karr does it again - writing a romance with witty characters, fast-paced dialog and in this case a moving story that makes you feel happy and sad at the same time.

    Jules Easton knows she wants to be a wedding planner - she has since she was a girl, but taking over her uncle's wedding planning business is not as easy as she originally thought and now if she doesn't get what could be the biggest wedding of the year the business she loves may not make it. So making a good impression on the Kissinger family is imperative - that is until she does the unthinkable to the bride's brother the handsome Jake Kissinger. Now with the timetable moved up for the wedding of the year Jules needs to work with Jake to ensure that his baby sister's wedding goes off without a hitch.

    Dr. Jake Kissinger does not want to be anywhere near Jules Easton - but with his baby sister's wedding coming fast and his grandmother ill he needs to suck it up and work with Jules. The more time they spend together the more his feelings start to change for the beautiful all be it klutzy wedding planner.

    Kim Karr is masterful at writing fun, smart characters that as the reader you fall in love with. She also takes her readers on an emotional journey one that I have never explored before. Told in dual POV's we find out the root of who Jake and Jules are and how close their connection really is. Ms Karr's writing is so descriptive and emotionally driven from beginning to end and I for one loved it.

    Jules has taken over her Uncle’s wedding planning business and although she has the flair for this career the finance part is a work in progress. She needs to land Rory’s wedding as the alternative leaves her broke and without a business.

    Jake is the sexy doctor who also happens to be Rory’s brother and is paying for the wedding. The first meeting between Jules and Jake is a train wreck however Jake is willing to do anything for his sister which includes working for the wedding planner that he would rather never see again.

    The chemistry between them inflamed from a spark into an inferno however is that enough to overcome his feelings about love and marriage and her insecurities about being able to trust her judgment when it comes to men?

    This is another winner by this author filled with humor and heat!

    Wow, an absolutely amazing story! This book gave so many different layers to each main character and made their connection so much deeper. I liked how they each had difficult scenarios they were currently going through and found ways to work through them together. I loved their dynamic and I loved Mimi and how she interacted with each of them. This story made me laugh out loud and swoon as well but it also made me cry and get choked up a lot! I don’t want to ruin anything so I won’t say much, but the turn it took surprised me and broke my heart! It was so gut wrenching to read but they way it helped heal them was so heartwarming and beautiful! Kim, you did an amazing job on this book! Definitely a must read to start off 2018!

    This is the first book I have read from this author and I truly enjoyed it.

    This is a heart stopping emotional read that is so full of emotion that I cried at a few points in this story. This author also made this a laugh out loud comedy in parts that were hysterical. The characters Jake and Juliette are fabulous. Both a little broken but not so imperfect that they can't see what is in front of them. You must read this book and follow these characters through their healing process and finding love and hope in their lives. There is a great cast of characters that I absolutely loved and I can hardly wait to hear their stories. All iin all this was a fun emotional well written book.

    I would recommend this to anyone looking for a quick short sexy and emotional read, this author is new to me but one will be coming back for.
