Imperfect Love (Kim Karr) Books in Order

Imperfect Love is a small, connected set of contemporary romances about people whose lives are not going to plan. The books feature different couples, but the characters overlap, giving the series the feeling of a friend group whose love lives keep colliding.

The title fits the approach. Nobody arrives with a perfectly tidy past.

The Thing About Love follows a quirky wedding planner and Dr. Jake Kissinger, a man she initially finds arrogant, frustrating, and far too attractive for her own good. When circumstances force them to work together on a wedding, their mutual irritation has nowhere to go but closer. The story plays with opposites attracting, workplace proximity, and the trouble of falling for someone who seems unavailable.

Come A Little Closer turns to Sadie Banks and Jaxson Cassidy. Sadie is at a low point when she meets Jaxson during a delayed flight, and one impulsive night changes more than either expects. Their paths cross again on a tropical island, but the attraction comes with secrets, career risk, and questions about who Sadie really is.

There is a little more suspense in the second book.

Both stories are complete standalones, so readers can begin with either title. Reading The Thing About Love first gives extra context for the people who reappear in Come A Little Closer, including Jaxson's connection to Jake's circle.

Expect quick chemistry, teasing dialogue, flawed but determined characters, and romance that gets complicated by timing and old choices. These are not sweeping multi-book couple arcs. Instead, each book offers a contained love story while rewarding readers who follow the shared world in order.

Start with The Thing About Love, then read Come A Little Closer for the smoothest connected-character experience.
