The Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher is a wonderful contemporary romance story. There is one thing that KG knows and that is how to write romance that is easy to lose yourself in and become invested in it. This story is my favourite to date. The story was beautifully written and very emotive. A chance meeting between a lounge singer and a supermodel, Lauren and David begins one of the best love stories. But the road to love is not always smooth especially when there are others who think they are worthy of that love and make life a misery.
This is a very sweet romance. It was an enjoyable read with characters that were well written and you can’t help but fall in love with them. This book gives you all the feelings from excitement and love, to tears and sadness. There are also twist and turns which keep you guessing which I liked as its not a straight forward boy meets girl and falls in love.
Lauren is an aspiring singer on the local bars. She wonders if she will ever get her big break. What she doesn’t expect is to bump into a famous model during one of her shows.
David is in town for his sisters wedding when he hears Lauren sing and instantly falls for her. After spending time together he realises he needs to be with her so asked her to come with him for his big launch.
But not everyone is happy for David and Lauren. Will their spark grow into a fire? Will Lauren be too much of a distraction for David? Will their careers suffer for their romance or will they make it work?
This story follows Lauren, a singer/teacher, and David, a smoking hot super model. David puts everything he has got into his new cologne line. He heads out to Atlanta for his sister’s wedding and is struck by this gorgeous lounge singer who happens to be singing at the hotel he is staying at. So, David is British – who can honestly pass that up! The accent alone I am sure is panty dropping by itself. This one had my heart racing!
I would recommend this book to any looking for a quick, fun standalone romance where opposites attract through love at first sight. I was quickly captivated with Lauren and David as their world of music and fashion was brought to life. I enjoyed the flow of KG Fletcher’s writing which easily made me gasp at times as well as laugh and swoon.

The Nearness of You: A British celebrity, standalone love-at-first-sight romance by K.G Fletcher
Not the first book I’ve read by Fletcher, but a must read like this brought me back. She knows how to capture her readers attention and keep it.
Lauren doesn’t expect to fall in love within a couple of days, but it happens. She is living her life doing what she loves doing. When she meets the supermodel things change drastically. The quote I chose for Lauren is: “I’m just really happy in this moment with you and I don’t want it to end.”
David is used to his career being the only thing in his life. On a Friday night he meets someone who turns his world upside down. In a good way. The quote I chose for David is: “It’s chemistry. It’s adoration. It’s unexplainable, really. All I know is I want more. I don’t know what that looks like entirely, but if we stick together, I believe the two of us can explore something truly special.”
Highly recommended for contemporary romance lovers.
The Nearness of You by KG Fletcher is a beautiful love story between a singer who loves the oldies, like Frank Sinatra, and loves the 60’s style, and a very handsome model from England. Lauren can’t believe she’s met and connected with David at the hotel where she works weekends singing at the bar. David is mesmerized by Lauren in a way he’s never expected. The two connect so well, they both seem to know they’ve met the one but will they follow it through?
I love reading books by Ms. Fletcher. I connect with her characters pretty quickly. The books are well written and you can’t help but continue reading until you are finished.

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.
