I, Makayla Alexander, am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them, and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in over my head.Before I know it we’re in the lavatory and attempting to join the Mile High … Mile High Club. Let me just say this…anyone who tells you it’s easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isn’t telling you the truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is the simple fact that I am never going to see him again.
Hours later, I can’t help but wonder if fate will ever allow me to become a new version of myself.
Because Fate, she’s a fickle bitch.
Case in point…my seatmate is my new next-door neighbor.

This book had me in a knot of emotions.
‘No Pants Required’ is full of quirky humor, flirty, and sexy moments. It is a quick read which I finished in one sitting. If you are looking for quick read, which will leave you with a smile on your face, you should definitely read ‘No Pants Required’. I read all the books written by Kim Karr and this is the first one that doesn’t have suspense, mystery or crime in it. I will try my best to write a review, where I don’t want to give away too much and ruin the story for you

Would I recommend this book: Yes.
Would I re-read this book: Already did
Would I read future books by this author: Yes.
Main characters: Makayla and Cam
Supporting characters: Maggie-Makayla’s friend in California and Brooklyn-Cam’s roommate and friend in California
Makayla wanted a fresh start in life so she moved in with Maggie in Laguna Beach, California. The night before she left New York she celebrated with her friends and witnessed Cam getting some action in a room. Ironically, Cam was heading back to California the same day. Cam was a lifeguard and was neighbors with Maggie.
In between the non sexual acts these two characters delivered witty dialogue and plenty of flirtatious comments. When performing the act there was dirty talk and more witty dialogue.
Kim created a smart, funny, and witty story. Sure this story was nothing like the others but that’s the beauty of it. Kim was able to think outside the box and create a story that was different showing she has talent.
Neither character was looking to get involved in a serious relationship. Both only entertained the idea of hooking up for a good time but when one sexual encounter became electric neither could ignore the charge.
Maggie created a list of inspiration for Makayla to get her motivated towards her goal of branching out. The agenda, to find Makayla in a new improved version.
The banter was so good I had difficulty putting the book down. I wanted to reach the end determined to find out what happened but realized the fun would be over and I kind of wanted to savor the fun. I have not read anything this fun in awhile.
The story was naughty with a side order of saucy.
Fun story where our girl Makayla finds herself in an few awkward circumstances. And of course, they all involve the same guy – Camden Waters. You know, Of THOSE Waters. And of course, wouldn’t you know it, but Camden is really close friends with Makayla’s best friend. Awkwardness is sure to ensue.
Well edited.
Makayla is done with New York. She isn’t especially happy with her job, and she just caught her fiance in a compromising situation. Enough. Makayla is off to Southern California to hang out with her BFF Maggie and to find a new direction in life. Her going away party finds her singing karaoke at a bar. A moment of quiet and a dropped cell phone finds her witnessing a very intimate moment. And while the woman seems a little catty, the man doesn’t seem very nice either. Oh well, paths shall never cross again. Except, a very hot moment attempting to join the Mile High Club reveals paths do cross again. Cue instant ice on a very hot situation. Oh, and let’s blame Maggie some for that bucket list to get Makayla out of boring-ville. When the plane lands, no more paths shall cross! Except isn’t Maggie talking to the very same guy in baggage claim? And what will happen when Makayla finds out the very same guy is Maggie’s neighbor, co-worker, and friend?! Awkwardness followed closely by sparks. That’s what.
A lot of fun following the journey of Makayla and Camden. Lots of fun marking off the bucket list. Light, fun, and entertaining reading. Enjoy!
I love how Makayla mets Cam though he has no clue. She wants a change in life and goes for it. The heartache they both had to deal with before finding each. You watch both character’s grow before your eyes and can’t help but fall in love.

What happens when you decide you don’t like your life the way it is and want to find your self?? To get that answer you need to read No Pants Required by Kim Karr.
This is a standalone novel with a romantic comedy feel to it. I thought this book was excellent. It is a fun, sexy and entertaining beach read. Perfect for a lazy summer day. This book will make you laugh, swoon, melt your panties and even have a little heartbreak. But over all this is a book that will leave you smiling in the end.
No Pants Required is my first Kim Karr novel and I have to say it won’t be my last. I thoroughly enjoyed this book. The pace and flow of the story was great. I liked the pace she took Makayla and Camden on. It was fun watching these two open up to each other and learn to open their hearts to love again. This book was a fairly quick read because you can’t help but get lost in the pages and lives of Makayla and Camden.
Makayla and Camden have kind of a rollercoaster ride for their relationship. They met under strange circumstances and then come to find out they have a common connection. I loved their banter!! It was fun to see who was going to break first. Even though this was a light hearted type read, there were also some deeper emotions involved in this story. My heart broke for Camden when his past is revealed. I thought these characters were very well developed and was able to connect with them like I was a part of their world.
I really liked Brooklyn and Maggie also. They are the Best friends and roommates of Camden and Makayla. I actually kind of hope they get their own book, because I think they would make a great couple. I’m interested to see where they could go.
I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a light, fun, and entertaining summer read. This book will have you laughing and leave you with a smile on your face.
It was a good read. Well written likable normal characters each dealing with their own problems. Funny, witty, passionate too. Simple “beach” read. HFN
