Kiss the Girl: The Naughty Princess Club

The Naughty Princess Club, owned by Cindy, Belle and Ariel, has grown beyond their imanigations. When they started the business, it was out of desperation, since they had all lost their jobs. However, since Ariel’s divorce, she has not been able to do participate in the business. Her ex did a real number on her self esteem. Always commenting that she should diet due to her weight, when in reality, she’s just a curvy woman. Coming home one day she finds police outside her home, not because of an intruder, which is what she thought, but to take her home away. So yea, she missed a few mortgage payments, and yes she ignored all the notices. Now she has 15 minutes to collect some personal belongings before the bank takes everything from her. This is where Eric comes in to save the day, except she doesn’t want to be saved by any man.
Eric has been in love with Ariel since she told him to f__k off. He loves her potty mouth but most of all her curves make him crazy in lust. Now he just needs to give her time so she can see the wonderful woman that she is and hopefully also to realize that the chemistry between them is something to hold and cherish. But in the meantime, she keeps threatening to cut off his balls if he so much as tells her how beautiful she is.
You will laugh and swoon in this fabulous story. I truly enjoyed it!
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Meeting Ariel and Eric was a bit different and refreshing. They are the first couple that I have met in this series. I look forward to getting know more of the other two couples and seeing this all from the beginning. I had so much fun with Eric and Ariel. At time I found her to be a challenge, but then I look at the stress and strife in her life. And what lead her to the decisions she made. She needed someone in her life that understood that and with Eric I think he saw a lot more of her than she was comfortable showing to her club members.

This story was reminiscent of the Disney Fairytale, but that was about the depth of it. This princess was in no way sweet, meek, proper, or overly respectful. Ariel was foul mouth, short tempered and a bit of a rebel, but that was all a mask. There were further depths to Ariel. Eric was strong and wiling to see past all that Ariel threw out there for others to see.

It takes a person strong of character and self-confidence to see past the facade that Ariel put in place.There was a strong cast of characters and friendships. I very much enjoyed this read and would most certainly read it again. Preferably after I have read the other two. I was swept up in a fun afternoon of entertainment.

Naughty Princess Club series:
At the Stroke of Midnight
In Bed with the Beast
Kiss the Girl

Finally! Ariel is front and center and wow her book was fantastic! I just knew that it would be a great read cause that girl is a riot. While Ariel is outspoken and fun, we saw a side to her that I wasn’t expecting but was nice to read about. There is so much more to her than we initially see. And Eric was just the most swooniest guy out there. We don’t get to see much of him in the previous books but in this one, he shines brightly. I loved how sweet and genuine he was with Ariel. He truly cares for her and it was fun to see how he would break down her walls. The progression of Ariel and Eric’s relationship was a joyous journey. These two were explosive and I loved that. But of course, it would not be smoothing sailing. There was a bit of a trouble and it was interesting to see how it would all play out. I loved seeing Cindy and Belle. They are just the best friends and seeing these girls form an unlikely friendship was beautiful. Kiss the Girl was fun, sweet, and just awesome! And the epilogues were great. I loved seeing the HEAs of Cindy and Charming, Belle and Vincent, and Ariel and Eric after it was all said and done. I mean they are fairytales after all. The Naughty Princess Club have been an fun and magnificent series! I have enjoyed all three books and I loved these characters. Plus the covers are amazing. Wonderful job on all the books Tara.

Sexy, Funny and Entertaining! This is the first book that I have read by Tara Sivec and it definitely won’t be my last. This story was just so cute and the play on words of the original Disney Princess Ariel was the icing on the cake.

Ariel Waters is a beautiful woman who has had her self esteem broken by her ex-husband. Constantly being told that she wasn’t pretty enough, not skinny enough, and not good enough, she becomes a cynical bitch, who hates everyone and trusts no one. When she is evicted from her home she is forced to live on a luxury yacht owned by Eric Sailor.

Eric Sailor is a wealthy, man who is part owner of Charming’s Gentleman’s Club. He is also entirely too good looking and he knows it. But he also has the hots for Ariel. Her cynical ways and words turn him on as well as her Hot body. But so far he has been unable to break down her walls. But as Ariel stays on one of his yachts, he slowly teaches her to love herself again.

But just as they get close his conniving mother Ursula enters the picture and makes Ariel’s self esteem flounder. Will Ariel let Ursula get her way? You will need to read to see how this all goes down. Funny, Sexy and hilariously entertaining! Don’t miss this tale.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

4.5 Stars!
Ariel Waters lives on Fairytale Lane and is a collector of antiques. She owns a business called the Naughty Princess Club with her two best friends Cindy & Belle. They are all becoming the strong, independent women they were meant to be. Ariel has been handling the administrative side of the business, but wants to soon take on more. She's divorced and needs to get out of debt. Her life suddenly begins to fall apart around her, and a person she wouldn't expect shows her kindness in her time of need.

Eric Sailor is a gorgeous, Greek millionaire playboy. Ariel has always found him annoying, but when he unexpectedly comes to her rescue she soon realizes he's sweet, thoughtful, and charming. He seemed to know exactly what she needed. It's like he knows her deep down. He's been a constant thorn in her side since they met, but now she finds this hot, funny guy irresistible. He's breaking down her walls, and showing her how amazing she is. She's never really believed in fairy tales for herself, but she's tired of fighting her feelings for Eric. Could he be her happily ever after?

This was such a fun, lighthearted, series about girl power, friendship, and fairy tales. I loved each book, but Ariel's was my favorite!

Tara Sivec is synonymous of laughter and hilarious moments and in Kiss the Girl was no different, the book that closes the series brings the three friends together with their struggle to regularize the Club they created.
Cindy and Belle have already found their princes charming and are worried about Ariel who has just lost everything she really loves thanks to a complicated divorce with a ex husband who has always diminished her. As each one is living with her beloved one, Eric, a Charming Club’s prince too, offers to help Ariel and gradually shows her how he is not only a playboy and who is able to move skies and seas to take care of the girl.
Ariel is very funny always speaking curses and threatening people but it is only a facade because she still feels inferior and weak in some situations and Eric arrives precisely to show the strength and the courage that she has inside herself.
What I liked the most was the fact that even being a modern fairy tale the princess saves herself of course that she counts on the support of her friends and the prince as a beautiful team work.
The epilogue also brings surprises to fans of the series and new laughs and sighs.
I loved the cover for me the most beautiful and joyful series.

I absolutely LOVED this book! It's the third (and final) in The Naughty Princess Club series and I found myself laughing out loud from the very first line. Ariel's brash, funny and downright LOUD personality is complimented perfectly by Eric's cool, confident persona. Their chemistry has been apparent since book one, but they really shine in this book as the perfect couple. Ariel comes off as a strong, confident woman, but we soon discover that she is hiding some massive insecurities thanks to her ex. Eric was the perfect remedy for her insecurities…like a dragon-slaying prince, he jumped right in and immediately began to build her up so she could actually BE the strong, confident woman he knew she was deep down inside. I truly loved every single interaction they had. I love reading about strong women and the strong men who love them. As with the other books, the scenes between Ariel, Belle and Cindy are written flawlessly, I love the friendship chemistry they have. This book was an absolute joy to read and I was sorry to see it end because I could read about all the naughty princesses forever. I adored the entire series and highly recommend! I can’t wait to see what Tara does next!!

If this story really took place Under the Sea, the oceans would be boiling with all the heat generated between Ariel and Eric! I absolutely fell in love with Eric right from the start. His unwavering devotion to Ariel was downright swoon-worthy, especially since it was quite a while before she started deserving it.

Ariel's life is imploding after her marriage shredded her confidence. Eric knows exactly what to do to help her find her voice again, and his patience is exceeded only by his fierce passion for every part of her life.

This hilarious story is more than just a romantic fairytale. Told entirely from Ariel's POV, her inner monologue is witty and insightful at the same time. Some of the lines had me snort-laughing so much I had to stop reading for a while.

The author worked some true magic with her words, bringing so much heart and humor to what might otherwise have been a predictable story. The nods to the original source material are creative and ingenious, without ever straying from a realistic foundation.

Brilliantly written, this story was pure romance gold. It's found a permanent place on my reread list. I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book.

Kiss the Girl is surprisingly my first Tara Sivec read. This is surprising, because I’m a sucker for romcoms and after reading KtG, I now know this author gives good romcom!

Kiss the Girl not only provides the laughs. It gives us look into the alternative world of a favorite cartoon princess, Ariel. A heroine who is strong and tough all by herself, but she’s been burned and broken by a man in the past. You can imagine the last thing she wants now is a man telling her what to do, or a man at all really. Insert the irritating but gorgeous, Eric when she’s going through a tough time. Somehow this beautiful man knows just how to get under her skin, and how to help her heal her heart without her even realizing it! Their story is funny, a bit angsty, and super steamy at some points.

Add in a cast of side characters that will keep you laughing and on your toes, and you’ve got a great romcom read.

This is the third book in a series, but I don’t feel that you have to read the others to understand this one. This book will spoil those a bit, so if you hate spoilers. I’d dive into those first. Do I plan to go back and read them now that I’ve read KtG? Yes. Yes I do!

ARC given to me by publisher and NetGalley in exchange for my honest review given voluntarily. Thank you!!!

So this was my first book I read by this author. It is book 3 in the series, and I haven't read the first 2 books yet, but this one was one of my favorite books I've read in a while - Ariel is crazy, has a dirty mouth, has a huge chip on her shoulder, but she is freaking hilarious....this was a HOT HOT one, just the way I like them. These 3 girlfriends are business owners of their small company that offers private stripper parties that go to the houses. She found her match in Eric though, great guy! It can be a standalone, but I feel that by not having read the story of the other 2 friends ( Cindy & Belle) I lost some of the beginning of the friendship bond, the start-up of their business, the relationships that the girls already have with the club owner and bouncer.... stuff like that which for me makes a difference in the full enjoyment of the collection. I must confess I hate reading book from series out of order, but that's just my thing. Nothing's wrong with This book, it was really, really good....I already bought book 1 so I can start from the beginning.......LOL

Wow, what a difference!! This book is so much better overall than book 2 in this series. The editing has improved but still found quite a few mistakes. The storyline was written much better. I did not struggle nearly as much to finish this book. I really did enjoy this book much better than the previous one. I’m still not completely fond of the modern day telling of a famous princess story for kids. But I did truly love Ariel and Eric’s story. Ariel is feisty, smart, and quite witty. Ariel along with her two best friends, Cindy and Belle, start a home-stripping business which is very successful which is called The Naughty Princess Club. Ariel finds herself homeless and that her ex-husband has returned to want something from her. Ariel has spent the last two years finding herself again after she divorces her ex, Sebastian. Sebastian was emotionally abusive. Eric has been in love with Ariel from the day he met her months ago. Eric is smart, handsome, sexy, and has a heart of gold. He helps Ariel find herself again by showing her her inner strengths not just telling her. I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review. Much better than the last time. Need better editing.

I absolutely loved this book! I have read the entire series, and have adored Ariel from the beginning. Her mouthiness and attitude has always amused me, so having her front and center in this story thoroughly entertained me.

The story begins with Ariel in a difficult situation, and the person she believes is a jerk, Eric, coming to her rescue. Their relationship that builds from a friendly animosity to an amazing love is written so well and builds so genuinely that the reader can't help to fall in love, too. Throughout the change, they never lose who they are, constantly teasing and joking with each other. I laughed out loud as I read; my favorite part being the rant over the tiny house television show.

Revisiting all of the characters from the other 2 books was a bonus as they have been such a wonderful cast of characters. The epilogue did a fantastic job in showing the relationship futures for all 3 women.

I highly recommend this book (as well as the entire series). It includes swoony romance, steamy times, salty language, and lots of laughs and fun. I am only sad that I have finished the series.

This is the third book in The Naughty Princess Club series, and the one I was most looking forward to. Since we met Ariel in the first book, I needed her book more than any other character! She was my favorite character with her sarcasm and great one-liners. Yes, she cusses like a truck driver but it was hilarious!

While this is a standalone, you really should read the first two beforehand. Sivec does do a pretty good recap in the beginning of this book, so you are caught up on what’s going on. But, you actually meet Ariel and Eric in the first book, and their first meeting in that book was quite entertaining!

I’d say this book was probably the closest to the actual fairy tale- The Little Mermaid, versus the last two. She brings in all the important characters. Overall, this book was so good, funny, cheesy and absolutely ridiculous, and I loved every second of it! And that epilogue was the perfect end to this series!

Highly recommend this entire series, especially if you’re looking for a good laugh!

"Kiss the Girl" by Tara Sivec

Well, this story has a couple of points that usually turn me off completely.. yet I love this story.. and I really do like Ariel... and just what the doctor order to be her best friend... Eric. She is a rough and tough gal who is learning to stand up for herself. Her language, which I usually avoid in my choices of reading material, is harsh yet is true to her character. And for some reason was tolerable for me this time around. To me there was a lot of heat-steam-spice, as in more detail than I needed, but I dealt with it. Those scenes can be skimmed over and still love the story. To be honest the two items that tend to turn me off.. really are necessary to appreciate the whole of the character named Ariel. I received a free ARC copy of this story from the publisher via NetGalley for which they request an honest review. I really did love this story.. I read it in two days, because I just couldn't stay away from it... every time I put the book down a few minutes later I was picking it back up. I just had to see what was going to happen next.

Perfect rom-com for fans of enemies-to-lovers romance with plenty of sharp, rapid-fire banter and bickering. This is a must read if you love romance novels about women who lose their cool, women who hate to shop, women who build supportive yet non-standard friendships, or women who come back stronger after hard times. This is a must read if you can appreciate the humor in hairless cats, goat yoga, carb addiction, taco obsession, cat dads, random movie references, cocktails with raunchy names, and overprotective fathers who sometimes try too hard.

This is the third book in the Naughty Princess Club series. I haven't read the others, but I'm not sorry I started with this one. In fact, I'm eager to go back and read the others, even though I might know a little about how those stories end. I just know there are plenty of laughs in those other books to make it worth my time. Besides, I can't be too surprised to learn that the other couples go their HEAs, can I?

I received this ARC from the author and/or publisher at my request via Net Galley! Thank you, Net Galley!

Tara Sivec does it again! Fans of hers can expect the same girl-power friendships, hunky but sensitive men, and strong, unapologetic, snarky heroines that they’ve seen in her Chocoholics series. But because her writing is so sharp, it never feels old. This is the third in her Naughty Princess series, and I absolutely love it, especially the way she takes familiar fairy tales and turns them on their heads. The way she works each familiar character, and it’s obvious which ones make an appearance in this book, is clever and well-thought out. (Side note: I would have spelled Eric’s last name differently, perhaps Sayler or something like it, just to make it a little less obvious). But the chemistry is spot on, the scenes are hot, and the tender moments are “aww-inspiring.” If you’re new to Tara Sivec, be warned that she uses very “tell-it-like-it is” language. I, for one, love it – but it might not be for everyone. Another winning novel by one of my favorite authors. Thank you to NetGalley, St. Martin’s Press, and the author for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ariel had always been confident, gutsy and strong. You'd never know she actually had very low self-esteem, thanks to her ex-husband. When she lost everything and was feeling particularly bad about herself, Eric wanted to help her see her true value. Even though she didn't think much of Eric and had repeatedly told him off - never mincing words - he had always admired and been attracted to her. It didn't help his case that she didn't trust men anymore.

I absolutely loved the characters in this book. Could Eric be more perfect? I don't think so. He actually loves Ariel for who she is and doesn't want to change anything about her. All 3 of the naughty princesses are fantastic. They are all strong, independent women who work hard and find love.

This book had me chuckling just like the others in this series did. The chemistry between Eric and Ariel was strong but not over-the-top. I liked that this story was sexy but not erotic.

Are you looking for a romantic comedy with laugh-out-loud moments? Kiss The Girl is it.

Tara Sivec’s characters are hilarious as always in this twisted Fairytale. Don’t blink while reading this book, because you might miss funny details that Sivec spins from the original Disney fairytale and makes her own. Ariel’s extensive knowledge about antiques is only one example. When and where Ursula shows up and what role she plays is another.
.
Ariel’s character is amusing and relatable. She encapsulates the struggles of the modern woman—the desire to appear strong but the need to be soft when the situation requires it. It’s not an easy balance, considering everything that Ariel has been through.
.
This is the kind of book to read when you need a laugh or you need to be inspired. Sivec makes it work for both things because her female characters are strong and empowered. They aren’t wilting flowers or damsels in distress. And the male characters are truly princes in the sense that they treat their significant others as equals, respecting their decisions while also supporting their independence and cherishing them as partners.

Three words to describe this WHOLE series would be:
Clever. Brilliant. Astounding.

I loved all three stories, but she saved the best for last with Kiss the Girl.

It was wickedly funny.
Deliciously HOT!!
Undeniably heartening.

From the very beginning, Ariel, was my favorite. Her sassy, mouthy, take no nonsense attitude won me over. She was the one who helped her friends along the way, so to see that her story was not only brilliantly done, it was the one that I loved the most. The sexy banter/chemistry between Eric and Ariel is enliven. You'll fall in love with them as they fall for each other.

In addition to loving this whole series, loving ALL the characters in these books, I specifically loved how Tara Sivec wrapped things up. She not only gave these fairy tales a genius spin, the happily ever after... is one for the books.

I'm not just recommending this book, I need you to read all the books. Tara truly outdid herself with these and I loved every moment of it.

Tara Sivec can write some great and fun characters and definitely think everyone should read these, even if romance isn't your preferred genre because of the comedic dialogue especially in this pairing of Ariel and Eric!

They were both tumultuous and antagonistic towards each other and that played off really well within the character traits that made for some great wordplay - Man the dialogue between these two is just so laugh out loud funny and sharp that as the story progresses, it was naturally that they fall in like and lust and then into love with each other.

Sivec's premise of taking these fairy tale heroines and placing them in a modern setting and world really let her take the heroines and have fun and that is so wonderfully realized in her portrayal of Ariel as she's anything but what Disney gave us (#notyourkidsdisney) that there was little doubt that Sivec had fun. Her fun and sharp wit is all over this like it was in the previous installment and this frenemies to lovers take of the Little Mermaid was just what I didn't know I needed till I read it.

Do you enjoy an unconventional HEA? What about a reinvented fairy tale? Throw in some laughter, naughtiness, and a whole lot of perfectly written romance and you're ready to meet the ladies of the Naughty Princess Club. The storyline is a bit unconventional, but the play on names, snarkiness of the characters, and perfect chemistry make you want the stories to go on and on and on.

Ariel and Eric are the new-age Little Mermaid tale with a twist. I thought Sivec pulled this series, but especially this book, off so well. She gave Ariel so much spunk and fire to match her red hair and all the alpha you wished the movie version of Eric had. They are perfectly opposite and beautifully matched - in wit, in spunk, and in the bedroom.

Any book that makes me want to read the entire series, laugh out loud, and want to jump my husband afterward certainly gets a recommendation in my book. They're all fun, fast reads with the characteristic Sivec flair. You can't go wrong in one-clicking this book or series!

Ariel Waters has the most filthy mouth ever. And her life is about to tilt enough for her mouth to get even worse. She is at witts end and doesn't know what to do or say as she is approached by four cops.

Cindy, Belle, PJ, Vincent, and Eric come just in time to see a major change in Ariel's life. Ariel reels from the shock of what is to happen.

Cindy and PJ are needing help and so everyone wanted to help until Ariel's crisis happens right before their eyes. Who knew who would come to the rescue. Ariel is so grateful... Not. She is happily not happy with the situation but it starts to grow on her.

This book was so good. All three in this series have been great and are a modern fairy tale of the previous Disney stories in a world and league of their own. Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and now The Little Mermaid are here and have really been such an amazing creation. Hoping there will be more. I got ARC of this book in exchange for am honest review. This author is so talented!

Kiss the Girl is the third installment in the Naughty Princess Club. I didn’t read the first two in the series, but that didn’t stop me from enjoying this one.

The series is cool play on our favorite fairy tales with a modern day twist, strong female characters mixed with funny moments.

Ariel was a very interesting character. I honestly didn’t much care for her in the beginning. She was a bit over the top and rude. But as the story progresses, you get to see exactly why she is that way.
It’s just her shield to protect herself.

Eric was just the right person for her. He was smart, handsome and most importantly kind and persistent in his way to get to her heart.
He sees past her rough exterior and was patient with her (even though he did push her buttons. Haha!)

I finished this book last week. Last few chapter got me through labor. Yup, that’s right. It had me laughing through the pain.
If you like romantic comedies, this might be one you’d enjoy.

I had heard a lot about The Naughty Princess Club series so when I was able to read a copy of Kiss The Girl I figured why not? I like romance and I like fairy tales so I jumped in. Kiss The Girl isn't like any fairy tale that I ever read! I haven't read the other books in the series but that didn't hold me back. Ariel is a tough talking, foul mouthed business woman that has been having a streak of bad luck with the brightest spots being her friends Cindy and Belle. They started their princess stripping business but she still has financial problems. Enter Eric Sailor, business partner and friend to Cindy's fiancee and all around pain in Ariel's rear end! Well this princess doesn't want a prince to save her day but he's determined to be there to support her. This is a crazy rom com of foul mouthed fun and that's before you get to meet Eric's mother! It's told in first person POV from Ariel's perspective and if you enjoy laughing, swearing, singing and a HEA then this is the book for you.

1.5 Stars

Ariel is loud, abrasive, irresponsible, whiny, crass, immature— were we suppose to laugh at her words and actions? Because I was ducking my head in embarrassment and wanted to tell her to grow up. I seriously considered DNF-ing in the first few pages because I couldn’t stand her.

Eric was only slightly better. He was a good match for Ariel, but kind of a bore. His character didn't have much personality. It was clear he was just the side character and that Ariel was all that mattered.

There was an excessive amount of sentences in all caps. To me this is sloppy because you should be able to convey tone and volume of what someone is saying without resorting to all caps. I got tired of seeing this on the page and it made everyone seem like raging lunatics.

The thing is: Sivec's writing isn't bad. When Ariel wasn't being...well, Ariel, I actually enjoyed it. I'm willing to give her writing another chance. Hopefully it is just this book.

Ariel comes across as sarcastic and antagonistic but underneath her brittle shell lays a woman whose self confidence has hit an all time low due to ex. If that isn’t enough because of him she is about to lose the possessions she treasures the most as well as her home.

Eric has a way of getting under her skin whenever they interact. He may be the one person who sees beneath her bluster to the woman underneath that he wants. When her life is about to hit rock bottom he is the one that offers her a lifeline.

As they spend time together without irritating each other she begins to see the kind sensitive side that she overlooked but obstacles must be overcome and that includes her past.

I really enjoyed the humorous banter and hot chemistry between Eric and Ariel as well as seeing their fairy tale happy ever after come trust. It was also great to see the bond she had with her two girlfriends. I voluntarily reviewed an advance reader copy of this book.

Ariel Waters and her friends started The Naughty Princess Club after they all wore Disney princess costumes to a Halloween party and decided after to start a at-home stripping business because they all needed to earn a living to support themselves.

Ariel after being foreclosed and having an incident with the police went to stay at the yacht that Eric Sailor owned because her friends were either moving or just married. She had issues with paperwork for The Naughty Princess Club, but Eric slowly worked at her being with him even though the issues with his mother almost ruined it.

Kiss The Girl is the third book in The Naughty Princess Club and is a stand-alone book because the author shows just enough information for the reader to understand what happened in the rest of the series. Plus, it really made me laugh at the stuff that happens to Ariel.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

"Kiss the Girl" by Tara Sivec, St. Martin's Press, September 2018 is a romantic and entertaining predictable Read. This is the third book in the series but can be a standalone. The Genres for this novel are Fiction, Women's Fiction and Romance. The author describes her quirky and dysfunctional characters as complicated. The story takes place in the present and goes to the past when it pertains to the characters or events in the story.
The three women are friends and business partners of "The Naughty Princess Club" a business for pleasure club, with the best of intentions. Ariel Waters, finds due to unpleasant circumstances that she has lost her home and antiques, and has no choice but to have her friends help her out. Eric Sailor comes to her rescue, but can things have a fairytale ending for Ariel?
The plot would be enjoyable with less cursing and the author's overuse of attempted wit. I received a copy of this ARC from NetGalley for my honest review.

Ariel a girl who loves antiques
Eric a wealthy man
Can he kiss the girl?!
Can these two be in the same world? Opposites attract!

Kiss the Girl is book 3 in the naughty princess club series. If I can give this more than 5 stars I would! There was romance, as well as humor some laugh out loud moments, moments that make you smile.

I floved this book and the other 2 books in this series~ I can't wait to get them in paperback! The covers are so pretty!

Some quotes that I liked are:
"Don't get your grandma panties all in a bunch. I'm pulling into Fairy tale lane as we speak."
"Stop undressing me with your eyes, it's making me hard."
"Your sarcasm and attitude is fun to watch. Honestly it's the highlight of my day, wondering what the hell will come out of that mouth of yours."
"I'm hot and charming and irresistible."
"I want to know what's important to you. I want to be apart of your world."

Kiss The Girl is an hilariously sweet romance that had me smiling from ear to ear. 

We first met Ariel in Book 1 of this series, she’s feisty and has quite the mouth on her and I loved her immediately. If you haven’t read book 1 and 2 I definitely recommend them. This however can be read as a complete standalone. 

Ariel finds herself evicted from her home and Eric steps up and gives her a place to stay. He’s clear with his intentions but Ariel’s reluctant and fights his advances at every turn. 

I loved these two together, he was sweet and said all the right things and she just refused to give into it and it made for a hell of an entertaining read. Tara Sivec’s brand of comedy once again making me laugh my ass off throughout this book. 

Her spin on the classic fairytales with this series are entertaining and completely hilarious. Throw is some sweet hero’s and you’ve got yourself a fantastic romantic comedy. 

Kiss The Girl is a clever retelling of The Little Mermaid, with antiques dealer-turned-stripper Ariel losing everything a divorce and later finding her prince in billionaire playboy Eric, one of the strip club owners.

Ariel is sassy as heck with zero filter, and I kind of loved that about her. Eric doesn’t put up with her crap, calls her out in it, and becomes her rock. Her ties with her friends/co-workers Cindy and Belle are strong, and these three ladies get into some crazy antics.

However, I found myself skimming parts of the story because I didn’t know all of the intricacies with Cindy and Belle as well, since I didn’t read their books first. Technically, Kiss The Girl is a standalone in this series, but there are interwoven storylines that I’m sure I would have appreciated more had I read the other two books first.

I received an advanced copy via the publisher and NetGalley and voluntarily left a review.

When a rep from St. Martin's Press (the publisher) reached out to me (to ME!!!!!) and asked if I'd be interested in reading and reviewing Kiss the Girl by THE Tara Sivec, I thought that I was the one living in a fairytale.

Hell to the yes, I would love to read a book by Tara Sivec. Any book by her would do, but this one was one that I was actually looking forward to reading when it came out anyway.

This is book 3 of The Naughty Princess Club series, and it my opinion, the best one yet.

The series is about three friends- Cindy, Belle, and Ariel- who need to pull themselves up by their stiletto'd boot straps after being held down or hurt by men in their lives. They're the heroes of their own tales. Together, they form a stripping business called The Naughty Princess Club, and find success and friendship.

The first thing that needs to be said about this book (and the others in the series) is that they aren't to be taken SO SERIOUSLY. They're silly and light and fun. Sivec isn't trying to pass off their stories as Shakespeare or as dramatic interpretations of the original fairytales. The characters poke fun at themselves and the plot and, if you are in the mood for fun, you'll find yourself having it with them.

The second thing that needs to be said is that this book really is laugh-out-loud funny. I legit LOLed over and over. Tara Sivec is a genius of the rom-com genre.

The main characters- Ariel and Eric- were great too. Eric is a dreamboat. A hot, sweet, funny, strong, kind, generous leading man is just what Ariel needs in this story. I mean, who doesn't?

I really loved how Eric appreciated Ariel just.as.she.is, and he even enjoyed and encouraged her eccentricities. Unlike the cartoon version, he loved her- who she is- not just what she looks like (although he certainly appreciated that, too).

Ariel was a blast. Funny, spirited, ballsy... so much fun to read through her eyes. She transformed herself into the person that she wanted to be, to have the life she wanted to be.

The sex scenes were HOT, but the love in the story is what made me swoon.

Ariel thinks she is fooling everyone with her sarcastic comments, lewd remarks, dirty way of talking and acting like she just doesn’t care what anyone thinks. She does a good job of it until Eric comes along and sees through all of that. He knows deep down, she is a good person and dealing with some past hurts . He knows what she needs to gain her confidence back and learn to trust love again.

At first, I wasn’t sure I would keep reading because of the language,(I thought I’d have to wash my eyes out...ha….) :) But I am so glad I kept reading. It is a sexy, fun, humorous story. The underlying story actually has some enlightening, touching moments too. As the story moves along, we find out why Ariel is the way she is . There were so many hilarious laugh out loud moments. I enjoyed the references to the animated fairy tale characters and of course, I absolutely loved Eric’s cat!

I devoured the first two books in this series and loved the off-color humor, the wit, and the snark. Ariel and Eric's story was good, sweeter than I was expecting but it just didn't hit all my buttons like the other two books in this series. I loved Eric. I didn't like the twists in this book though and something about Ariel didn't click with me until the end of this series. However, if you have been following this cast of characters from book one, this is a must read so you know how it all plays out and seeing Belle and Cindy again in these stories was my favorite part.

While you can read this as a stand alone, I do think it is better to read this series from the beginning to really understand the characters. If you are looking for a sexy series that will make you laugh and make your heart melt then I highly recommend The Naughty Princess Club.

I had a hard time relating to the lead characters in this book. This book is the third installation in the Naughty Princess Club series and is billed as a standalone. I did not read the first two books and I felt like I was missing the beginning part of Ariel & Eric's story. I found Ariel's character to be a immature mean girl that cussed constantly and whom behavior could not be easily explained by the verbal abuse she suffered from her poor excuse of an ex husband.

Others have compared this series to the Disney princesses with this book being fashioned after the Little Mermaid, a story I am also not familiar with. That being say I might have enjoyed this book more with a better understanding of the whole series and the story it was based on.

Belle and Vincent were my favorite couple, until Kiss The Girl

I book One, I just knew I was going to love sassy and mouthy Ariel, and her cocky Eric.

So diving into Ariel’s background and past was really great.
Again, Tarva Sivec delivered a great Romcom.

Each couple in the series haver their own chemistry, but in this book, I loved Ariel’s character, strong yet fragile, and Eric’s, sexy, all alpha yet patient and kind (and his cat too lol…)

Another Romcom with the perfect mix: funny, even hilarious, steamy, angsty...
I really needed a more lighter” story between several darker books this summer, and I’m really glad I grabbed this book.

So, want to have some fun? Pick up this book and enjoy Ariel’s mouth and her banter with Eric.

Or better yet: grab the whole series!

Overall, I thought that this was an ok story, some parts were better than others. I was interested in seeing how the princess spin would play out. I thought that Ariel was a bit rough around the edges and a little too dependent on the foul language. You can be a strong independent woman without every other sentence being filled with curses. I did like the bond and sisterhood that she shared with her two friends. I also liked how Eric was patient with her and let her rediscover her fierceness at her own pace. Even though this book can be read with no problem as a stand-alone , it is the third book in the series. I will probably read the first two at some point just to get more background on the friends can't how they started their business.
I voluntarily read and reviewed s complimentary copy of this book received from Netgalley.

This was my first experience with Tara Sivec’s writing and, overall, I did like it, though it took me some time to get into the story. Ariel is abrasive, her language full of expletives, and, to start, she is not a likeable character which made it hard for me. I am no prude, but it seemed to go overboard. I stuck with it, and Ariel’s character became more sympathetic and understandable. I still think that the language could have been toned down, but, as the story moved on, I noticed it less. This was a fun tale, with strong friendships and characters.
It won’t be for everyone, but I found it to be a quick read with well-developed strong characters and a fun storyline that made me giggle. It’s book three in the series, but not having read the first tow didn’t hamper my enjoyment.

After finishing this I can not believe that this is my first Tara Sivec book. I read this book in one sitting – it had everything I like in a romance; quick to read, hot and steamy, funny, a modern fairytale…what more could you ask for.

Ariel and Eric were a fun couple to get to know. I loved how strong (and a bit crazy) Ariel was. I loved that Eric wanted nothing more than too make her his. I had my doubts at the beginning of their relationship but he managed to make her actually see him and let herself started falling in love. The progression of their relationship was a beautiful thing to read. I need to find time and I need to find it fast so I can read the first two books because if this is any indication I’m missing out.

I received an Advanced Reader Copy from Swerve for my unbiased opinion of the book. This is the final book in The Naughty Princess Club Series. Tara saved the best for last! I loved this book! I read it in a few hours and couldn't put it down! The story centers around Ariel the most outspoken, foulest mouth, and the biggest heart of the group. When she finds the police at her door and millionaire Eric Sailor. Ariel finds her house in foreclosure and forced to move immediately. Eric offers her a place to stay with no strings attached and her own yacht to boot. Ariel is forced to deal with her insecurities and well as her horrible ex, while deciding what to do about her growing feelings for Eric. You must read this book to find out how Ariel pulls herself up and overcomes her fears to dance and stand up for what is right!

I have been anxiously awaiting Ariel's story since I read the very first book! It was everything I hoped it would be & more!

Kiss the Girl is the third book in the Naughty Princess Club series. Although I loved all the girls, Ariel has been my favorite from the start!

Sarcastic, hilarious, and a very dirty mouth, this princess steals the show! A strong willed women that finds herself caught between a rock and a hard place, unsure of herself and what her future holds. When Eric steps into the picture, worlds collide and life will never be the same for either of them. I loved all the banter back and forth, with off the charts chemistry and lots of steam!

A perfect ending to an amazing series!!! Hoping they soon make it to paperback because I NEED these for my shelf! 5+++ Stars!!!

Ariel’s colorful language, loads of snark, and that in your face attitude, man...you just knew she was hiding something behind her tough girl facade. Oddly enough, as much as I liked her in the previous story, she was almost too rough for me here. It took until after the first quarter of her book before I really got invested and I’m glad I stuck it out because that ending...

Eric was dashing, witty, and the only guy I can think of who was brave enough to handle Ariel’s hot mess! He wasn’t a hero rescuing a damsel in distress. He was the kind of hero who built someone up when least expected-and had her back when she needed it most.

With an adult twist to a favorite fairytale, Kiss the Girl was a snark fest of jabs and hilarity! Sometimes it was OTT, but that was also part of the charm:)

*Given ARC through NetGalley for honest review
I love the concept of this story & how it twists fairy tales into a whole different kind of story. The romance between Ariel & Eric is fun to watch develop. The idea that Sebastian is her ex-husband giving her a hard time made me laugh. (Sebastian was a favorite of mine in the Disney movie) The story is very tongue in cheek, which was awesome. What I didn't enjoy was all of the language. I don't mind cuss words here & there, but it seemed like every other word was one. Also, I especially dislike the use of GD. Nowhere in the description was there a hint of that kind of language. I think it would have been a much better story without all of the language but that's just my opinion. Otherwise the book was a fun story.

Ever since I finished reading In Bed With the Beast (book #2 in the Naughty Princess Club) I've been looking forward to reading Ariel's story. Ariel is a real firecracker who made me laugh in that book so I figured a book based on her would be amazing. I did enjoy it, and I had several laugh out loud moments. However, I felt like it was too over the top, too many curse rants, and too many moments of her anger that she was just straight up rude. I had a hard time connecting with her as much in this book as in the previous book. I loved Eric though, talk about an amazing man. He was my favorite character in this book. The epilogues at the end were nice, I was glad we got to find out the "ending" for Cindy and Belle too, not just Ariel. The series was wrapped up nicely.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by Netgalley)...

We finally have the story of Ariel and Eric and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed. Ariel is still her crazy self but now we learn the truth about her marriage. Now as for Eric, there are truly no words to describe how awesome and swoon-worthy Eric is and I loved him so much. The way he completely understood what Ariel needed and wanted was so sweet. I wanted more Ariel, Eric and definitely more Derrick Alfredo, it was all so entertaining. But it was definitely not smooth sailing for our couple especially with the unexpected arrivals of exes and meddling mamas.

I was so sad when it ended! I wanted more but I did love the epilogues that showed us the future of our Naughty Princesses.

Ariel and her best friends Cindy and Belle are down in their luck so they start a princess stripping business. Ariel has really hit rock bottom, though, losing her home and antique shop. Luckily Eric rescues her.

This was a fun read. The author cleverly retells the characters stories, and incorporates every character from The Little Mermaid, as well as movie quotes and songs. It was funny and charming. I absolutely loved Eric, they were perfect together. The only thing was Ariel was almost too crazy-sauce for me...and foul mouthed beyond reason.

This is the third story, it stands on it’s own, but the other characters are featured throughout and each princess has her own epilogue at the end of this book.

Recommended for humor and craziness for those who loved The Little Mermaid.

Kiss the Girl is a charming, hilarious, sweet and steamy romance. This third book in the Naughty Princess Club series had me laughing out loud, crying, and swooning over kind, thoughtful and sexy Eric. Ariel is losing everything including her home and possibly the business she started with her best friends. She has lost her confidence after a terrible marriage, and is struggling to survive. It has made her into a surly, sassy, man-hater. With the help of her friends and attentive, flirty, Eric, Ariel begins to find her footing and fight for what she wants. I loved so much about this romance. From the witty banter, awkward situations, and quirky friends to the heartfelt, hilarious and emotional story, it completely captivated my heart. This is a definite must read!
