The Men of Laguna series gives readers a sun-soaked version of Kim Karr’s romantic comedy style, set against the beaches and laid-back culture of Laguna Beach, California. No Pants Required, the first book, sets the tone with its breezy title and a setup that promises both humor and genuine romantic feeling. Bedwrecker followed in 2016, and Hollywood Prince brought the series to three books in 2017.
Each story centers on a man rooted in the Laguna Beach world, whether local or connected to its social scene, who finds himself drawn to a woman who upends whatever comfortable routine he had going. The California coastal setting is not just backdrop; it gives the books a specific atmosphere that distinguishes the series from Karr’s other contemporary romance work.
Men of Laguna sits alongside Sexy Jerk World as part of Karr’s 2016-2017 shift toward lighter, warmer romantic comedies. Readers who enjoy beach settings, confident-but-charming heroes, and romances that do not take themselves too seriously will find the series an easy and enjoyable read.
