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.

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.

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.

The Nearness of You is a fantastic romance read by K.G. Fletcher. It’s a love story that took me on an emotional roller coaster ride of emotions. From the very first chapter I was captivated by Lauren and David, their chemistry was simply undeniable which held my attention the whole way through.
I really appreciated all of the detail that this author used, from past moments and feelings, surroundings and emotions it was all there making the story flow seamlessly. This is a book I know I’ll be reading again and for that reason I would recommend it to anyone looking for their next romance read.
I look forward to reading more from this author in the future!
The Nearness of You is fast paced, David and Lauren feeling the L word right away, even if they wait to say it. They are magnetically drawn to each other from the first night, him inviting her to a family wedding the next day! Of COURSE dating a famous person isn’t easy and there are obstacles. The last of which is his busy schedule. His assistant was a heartless evil gremlin of a woman, who I wished many bad things upon throughout the story. Things get pretty emotional in my opinion, but it all works out with a happy ending. I was entertained and pulled in by these two lovebirds.

The Nearness of You by K.G Fletcher is a great feel good novel with elements of romance, passion and a fast paced world of the fashion industry.
The book revolves around Lauren a Lounge singer dreaming of making it in the music industry someday and David well established within his own world but brought back down to earth with seeing a beautiful women will she adapt to his world or will the whole experience leave her screaming from him.
I really enjoyed the premise of the story it’s not often nowadays you get a good romance novel with the mills and boon esq but none of the quivering chests lol. The chemistry between these two characters jump off the page and leaves you wanting more within the story. David reminds me when reading him of a dashing old fashioned movie star but really relatable to. Lauren just felt reading her as a friend you could tell everything to and you feel like you have known these characters forever.
I have read a few books by this author and I think I love this book the most, I believe I had just added another book boyfriend to the growing list in David and probably many more to come. I recommend this book if you love a good romance story, you would love this book.
The Nearness of You by KG Fletcher is a story about chance meetings and taking an opportunity when it is presented to you.
I am familiar with this author although not overly so. That meant I wasn’t quite sure still what to expect when starting this book. I can honestly say I really enjoyed it. Lauren and David have instant chemistry and it is entirely believable. I found myself firmly on Lauren’s side before I could get too far into the book. I wanted things to work out for her. I wanted her to like David. I wanted them to make it work.
The author has this way of writing that just effortlessly draws you into the story and the characters. Without even realising it you are hooked. This book was so easy to read and one that was so easy to enjoy. It has great characters and a great storyline – what more could you possibly want?
The Nearness of You by K.G. Fletcher a five-star read that you won’t want to put down. I have read a few reads by this author and I have to admit this one was my favourite, I couldn’t put it down. On the surface you would think that David and Lauren could be quite self-centred and selfish as he is a hot model and she is a talented singer, but they aren’t and that’s the joy of this story, they have their moments but still they will make you fall for them as they fall for each other, there is a sizzle and spark that will keep you hooked.
The Nearness of You by K. G. Fletcher is a romantic story that leaves you feeling good. You will be hooked from the first page. This is the story of Lauren, a lounge singer and David, a British Super Model. The first time they meet you feel the the sparks flying. David’s assistant is not very happy with this budding romance. It is due to the fact that he has a crazy busy schedule and romance will get in the way. Who is going to win this battle, work or love?
K.G. Fletcher has another hit with The Nearness of you! The story leaves you feeling happy and believing in romance. The characters were easy to connect with and very believable. Her writing is descriptive and flows with ease. I highly recommend The Nearness of You!

I love this author! I have read several of her books and have never been disappointed. This one is another winner. This is a love story between Lauren Rose (a lounge singer) and David Randle (a British supermodel). They meet unexpectedly while he’s in town for his sister’s wedding. They hit it off while having drinks after her gig at the St. Regis Hotel. On a spur of the moment decision, David decides to invite her as his guest to the wedding. They have instant chemistry and bond rather quickly. They are both falling hard and fast for each other and despite their conflicting schedules, decide to make a go of it.
Not everyone is happy about their budding relationship and David’s assistant Sabrina causes major problems for Lauren. I felt so bad for her. From the beginning of the book, I loved Lauren and my heart broke for her. I cried with some of the things that she had to endure. I really didn’t like Sabrina! I loved this book and found it was a quick read seeing as I couldn’t put it down.
The Nearness of You by KG Fletcher was so adorable. At first I kept thinking that it was a little far fetched that a regular plain Jane would meet a male model, but the story was beautifully written. It was like a fairytale movie and I was obsessed. David was thee perfect guy, thoughtful, caring, romantic and BRITISH! I really wish I had Lauren’s taste in clothing and music. Her old soul fit in perfectly with the story. The attention to the details of her dress, of the environments, of both characters was breathtaking. The author does an amazing job with her descriptions and making the reader feel like they are in the stories. I throughly enjoyed reading their love grow, they had an amazing connection. The story was a smooth and fast read. I read it in a day needing to know what would happen. I would love to read more about these characters or even of David’s sister and brother in law!
A great read about opposites. Lauren Rose is a talented singer living in Atlanta struggling to make it in the show business. One Friday night she performs in a hotel like any other night. But her life is changed forever when she meets supermodel David Randle at the gig and finds instant chemistry with him. Their passion blossoms while attending his sisters wedding, but when he returns to Britain, will their love survive the distance?
A great read. Well developed plot with twists and turns. Well developed characters like Lauren doing what she loves despite the struggles or David drive for ambition but a kind heart underneath. Great cast of supporting characters like the colourful and wise Jordan or the sweet and supportive Catherine. I loved the use of music in the novel with the songs used and Laurens passion for music as a lovely touch. i also loved the use of the senses with taste and smell and touch in the breakfast place to make it feel as if you were actually there. i alos loved the scenes in the wedding full of life and people and also loved the use of opposites used throughout the novel which worked well to create contrasts. Overall, a great read and i would give it four stars.
The Nearness of You by K. G. Fletcher is another stunning and breathtaking romance that readers can immerse themselves in effortlessly and wholeheartedly.
I couldn’t help but love everything about Lauren and David. Lauren sang from her soul and David was her match. Their love was explosive and absorbing. Not everyone was happy about that and they found themselves facing impossible and heartbreaking situations. I was cheering for them to triumph over the odds stacked against them, because a chemistry such as theirs cannot be ignored or denied.
A love story of substance, complexity and thrilling passion. K. G. Fletcher is one seriously talented author and one of my most treasured discoveries. 5 stars.
The Nearness Of You by K.G. Fletcher. I LOVED this book, once I started it I didn’t put it down until I was finished. Its the story of unassuming, sweet Lauren Rose a lounge singer looking to make it big. She leads the life of a everyday girl until she meets British Super Model David Randle who is in Atlanta for his sister’s wedding. Sparks fly immediately. The only problem is his assistant is not happy with David’s new love interest. It is taking time from his super crazy schedule. Will she be successful in breaking them up or will love win out. I fell in love with David and I could just hear his British accent in my head. I rooted for him and Lauren thru the whole story. It was a super fun read!
