The Nearness of You: A British celebrity, standalone love-at-first-sight romance by K.G. Fletcher
5 of 5 Stars
This is an enjoyable and engaging standalone story which had me happily turning the pages late until the night as I could not put it down once I had started reading. I fell in love with the characters and so then felt invested in their story and I was fully immersed in their world. The storyline is a love at first sight, opposites attract romance between Lauren and David and it also involves their worlds of music and fashion colliding. Lauren Rose sings classic love songs in posh hotel lounges as well as teaching theatre to kids whilst waiting for her big break. British supermodel David Randle is in need of a break from his successful modelling career and the launch of his high-fashion debut cologne, Drive. The couple first meet when Lauren is singing at the hotel David is staying at for his sister’s wedding. Their instant attraction and chemistry, which literally sizzled off the page, led to David inviting Lauren to New York. Lauren is then worried that she might be a distraction to his fashion shoot to promote his new cologne and his assistant is also trying to interfere with their new relationship. The celebrity couple have to learn to navigate the world of fame and fashion or their relationship could be over before it really began.
This is a wonderfully written heartwarming romance between two likeable and relatable strong characters. It is fairly fast paced and has, romance, drama and suspense, all of which had me hooked. The narrative really brings the characters to life as well as the worlds of music and fashion which make a great backdrop to the story. The book contains some very sexy scenes between the couple and so is recommended for adult readers. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and as usual was not disappointed with a book by K.G. Fletcher.
Lauren and Davids world both collide. Lauren is an ambitious, fun and completely likeable character. There are many hurdles these two have to go through to go together. The chemistry between these two characters jump off the page and leaves you wanting more within the story.This is one of those magical romance one you could see this as a movie. K. G. Fletcher writing is extremely descriptive and makes you feel like you are inside the book.
This is a lovely stand alone romance which I would highly recommend for that cosy warm feeling.
This is not a new author for me. I love K.G. Fletcher. This was a sweet love at first sight book. The characters were created well and were easy to follow. I love the way K.G. can throw a story together and everything merges so well. Our main female character is Lauren, who’s a lounge singer in GA. Our main male character is David, a British male model and celebrity. I enjoyed this book, and the steamy scenes in it!
Okay, let me put this out there. I had to re-start a couple chapters and maybe even a few paragraphs, but I got to the end and was pleased with the story that I read. There was one crazy lady, a jealousy lady, two confused hearts, and a horde of stalking photo takers. David and Lauren were cute together. The both found that something more and something extra. I will have to say that there are moment of pure sadness and maybe a few tears.
The Nearness Of You is a story that is romance in its truest form. Lauren and David’s story is one of chemistry, attraction and a pull that only the heart can understand. Two people that meet unexpectedly are thrown into a whirlwind of emotions as the need to be near each other is undeniable. As life, fame, drama and tragedy try to pull this pair apart it will be the heart and soul that keep them connected. As the authors words bind to your heart and the characters find their way deep under your skin you will find yourself utterly and totally captivated by this story.
The Nearness Of You is a sweet and romantic romance story. I was hooked from the very first page, and couldn’t put this book down. I adored the characters of Lauren and David. I loved how the characters connected, the bond they had, and how the sparks flew between them upon meeting. I loved everything about this book and highly recommend.

The Nearness of You
By KG Fletcher
The Nearness of You is a wonderful heart-warming romance by KG Fletcher. This is another book that is going to grab you before the first chapter is done. What I liked about this book was how much detail the author has put into the book, with how its written you end up feeling that you actually know the characters, and you can certainly read it as a standalone. This story centres around the budding romance of David and Lauren. Lauren a budding singer meets hot David a model when he is at one of her shows. They have an instant connection, but David’s assistant is in the way and Lauren feels she has to prove to the assistant that she does in fact love David. David for his part just wants to have Lauren around and he can’t explain why it’s just the way he feels. So, if you want a book that’s going to warm the cockles of your heart this is the book for you.
The Nearness of You by KG Fletcher is a standalone contemporary romance that will pull you in from page one and not let go until well passed the last. Following the story of Lauren Rose and David Randall. Lauren is such a strong character, her independence and ability to overcome adversity really draws you in. When singing at her regular gig in the St. Regis Hotel, she gets to see allot of high-profile guests, but none really caught her eye until she was courted by a British supermodel after her late show. While Randall and Rose come from two completely different worlds, this seems to draw them together. While things heat up behind doors, an attraction that they can’t deny builds around them. The more time they spend together, the end of their romance seems harder to believe. When life intrudes with David’s assistant, Lauren will have to find a way to work to show this woman that she loves David for more than his work. Will this woman be the reason these two love birds can’t find happiness? Can David rise above those around him to go for the girl that stole his heart with her voice? Fletcher made this story such a great read, pulling her readers in from the get go and creating an overall amazing experience. If you are looking for an author that will sweep you away with her writing than KG Fletcher is one that you need to pick this story up. I can’t wait to see where KG Fletcher takes us next.
I enjoyed the “Southern Promises” series written by this author so I was looking forward to getting comfortable and opening this book.
This is a book that fulfills many girls dreams. The “what if I meet that famous person, would I be able to handle myself? Be true to myself?” This story explores that theme.
The main character is a strong woman who, while not ashamed of her situation, doesn’t downplay it or use it to her advantage when talking to someone of means. She holds true to her values and doesn’t mold herself to what she thinks she should be. A nice change of pace was how nice the lead male is. Sure he’s got a great accent, is smoking hot, has a good head on his shoulders – he’s also kind and nice. They have a meet cute and the story goes on from there.
The characters are quickly developed and have all the earmarks of a classic tale. The story flows well from beginning to end and I was able to stay totally comfortable while reading this quick tale.
I recommend this book and this author.
The Nearness of You is a novel by K.G. Fletcher. This is my second novel by this author.
A chance encounter make way for possible love and opportunities.
When Lounge Singer Lauren meets Super model David Randle she is drawn to his good looks. David invites Lauren to his sister’s wedding but there is a spark between the two. Bonding over music, fashion and life experiences which bring them closer together.
But not all in happy for the new couple but David’s assistant wants nothing more than to tear the new found love apart.
I really enjoyed this novel and the cover and premise just pulled me in.
I enjoyed Lauren’s ambitions to make it into show business one day but it was nice to see that she was comfortable where her life was. Lauren was really likeble and related character and her romance with David felt natural instead of forced.
I really like David. He was such a sweet character. With all the ups and downs the couple went through, it was sweet roller coaster of me eagerly turning the pages to see what would happen next.
For anyone in the mood for a quick but enjoyable romance, I recommend this novel.

Four Stars
Have you ever just felt like you knew that someone was your forever but everything kept pointing the other way? That no matter how you feel that path wasn’t laid out for you to follow? I felt that while reading this story. I also felt it multiple times in my life. David felt phony to me and I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop. Their whole first encounter felt planned. He dies have some redeeming qualities that make up for that first impression. He is HOT, loyal, loving, compassionate and honest. I felt like he would do absolutely do anything for Lauren. The author wrote an interesting story but it lacked a steady flow. I felt like it was a little bumpy while transitioning from one speaker to the next. I didn’t feel like I truly learned who the characters are and how they grew through the story. It was a very unrealistic story. Overall though I would read it because David is HOT and what they have is innocent and pure.

I am looking forward to reading more by this author and i would recommend this to a friend.
Review by Anastasia D.
The Nearness of You was a great 5 star read.
Lauren is singing one night at her job and she meets this handsome man. She realizes who he is instantly and is shocked he is talking to her.
David Randle is a British super model in town for his sisters wedding, there is something about Lauren that he really likes. He ends up spending some extra time with her and sends her an invite to his sisters wedding.
Moving forward as Lauren spends more time with David she gets a look into what his life is like. And of course we can’t have a great story without some issues arising. David’s assistant isn’t happy with Lauren being in David’s life. Will she cause enough issues that things won’t work out? Can they have more than just a fling?
I really liked both of these characters very much. They each had great characteristics and were lovable. And you can’t help but love a hot British man. The secondary characters added a great element to the story. Its sweet the relationship that David has with his sister, I loved it. K.G. Fletcher has once again pulled me right in with her writing and I really love the playlists that she creates as well. 1-click and get started today.
The Nearness Of You by KG Fletcher. I have read many books by this author and have absolutely loved them all. This book was absolutely no different!! I fell in love with Lauren and David from the beginning. Lauren is a sultry lounge singer and she meets David who is in town for his sister’s wedding. Their chemistry is amazing until David’s assistant doesn’t really like having Lauren around so much, messing with their flow. Are they looking for the same thing, romantically or is David just looking for fun.
I loved this book and the authors writing style. I am highly recommending this book.
The Nearness of You by KG Fletcher is a beautiful story. I have read several books by KG Fletcher and with every one of the stories I am loving her more and more. Her writing style is fresh as well as challenging the characters in her books. This particular story takes a lounge singer who has a chance encounter with a British male super model. David, the model, just happens to be at the hotel for his sister’s nuptials and asks Lauren Rose to the ceremony. From that moment shaped the story. It takes you through the trials and tribulations. It is a well thought out story. I really enjoyed this story.
