Ariel’s story! Ah Ariel. I was a little nervous about this one, as Ariel has long been the harshest of all the girls with her potty mouth and extreme in-your-face opinions. But her story grew on me, and I enjoyed watching her romance with Erik unfold, particularly with all the funny “Little Mermaid” references. Plus, this one had a hilarious cast of side characters LOVED Ariel’s dad Tritan the used car salesman! And an awesome cat!

I did have a few issues with this novel. Overall, it wasn't too bad. I'm not sure I would recommend it unless I know the person really likes Disney or is into erotica--there really isn't too much sex in it now that I think about it.

This is Book three of The Naughty Princess Club. I felt that I needed to go back and read the first two book before this one since I spent the entire first two chapters completely lost. I struggled with figuring out the characters and their roles within the novel. The overly used Disney princess theme was overkill. All the characters in the series are characters from Cinderella, Beauty and the Beast, and Little Mermaid. Kiss the Girl is a spiff off of Little Mermaid. The main character is a sassy, attitudal Ariel who has self confidence issues due to her verbally abusive ex-husband, Sebastian. With the help of her friends, Belle and Cindy, Ariel is creating the Naughty Princess Club where a client can order a stripper for a home show. Ariel is the only one of the three who has yet to schedule a show or step foot on Charming's Gentlemen Club stage.

Eric knew from the moment he met Ariel that she was perfect for him. He wanted to spend the rest of his life with this sassy redhead with a mouth that would put a sailor to shame. Eric Sailor knows the sailor he would like her to shame--too bad Ariel doesn't have any of her self-confidence. Eric is going to help her with that. She is too precious and gorgeous not to. He doesn't show her with compliments instead he yells at her when she's in the midst of getting evicted from her foreclosed home with all her precious antiques. He doesn't put up with her crap either. He gives it as good as she dishes it.

Ariel met her match when Eric's mother, Ursula asks to meet. Ursula, who is the head of the business council and personally told Ariel that her business license was denied. Ursula also invited Vanessa, Eric's childhood friend who Ursula wanted to be Eric's wife--Vanessa also resembles Ariel.

But the cliches don't stop here--Cindy's daughter Anastasia records Ariel's meltdown on Snapchat. Cindy's boyfriend, PJ (Princeton James Charming) helps pick the three girls up after Ariel's meltdown after breaking up with Eric the day after the lunch with Ursula.

Oh and Eric's family owns a yacht business--Eric loves boats. The story had a bit too much Disney in it for me especially since the three women have a stripping business. Back to the storyline. Eric does slowly bring Ariel's confidence back so much so that she is able to confront not only her ex--but also Ursula. ( )

Adorable, sweet, funny, everything you want from a Tara Sivec book - they'll never get old, and I'll continue to re-read my favs! Next, to listen on audio! ( )

Oh my what an entertaining series! When I got the ARC for this book, I had to go and find the first 2 in the series so I knew what was going on. I'm glad I did as this is not a stand alone book. I loved the play on the classic fairy tales with everyone's names and laughed out loud at a lot of points in the book. This series is my first books by Tara Sivec and I do think I'll be looking for her other stories!

Kiss the Girl is the third book in The Naughty Princess Club series. I would like to note that I hadn't read the first two books prior to reading this but that in no way detracted from the story - at least not for me. I enjoyed this immensely! I was obviously curious about how Ariel, Cindy and Belle became friends but I was okay with the little tidbits of information thrown in regarding how their business - and friendship - came to be.

I love Ariel's character. She has absolutely no filter and is not afraid to speak her mind - which I loved because almost everything that comes out of her mouth is rude, foul and downright hilarious.
Despite her bitchy attitude, Ariel is incredibly loyal. She may appear to be the most confident of the three women but looks can be deceiving. There's no question she is strong but just like Cindy and Belle she has her own past and demons to overcome in order to reach her full potential.
Now on to Eric. I ADORED him. He's perfect for Ariel and the sexual tension between the two of them is off the charts. Despite her initial dislike of him, Eric is the only one who knows exactly what she needs the day her world falls apart around her and he proves to be exactly what she needs to face her fears head on.

What I love most about this series is that while Cindy, Belle and Ariel have all hit rock bottom they refuse to let their pasts define their future. Despite all they've been through, they manage to not only build strong relationships with the most unlikely people but they've created a business that takes each of them out of their comfort zones. And they're thriving because of it.

This is such a fun series! If you're looking for sexy, hilarious, quick reads I'd highly suggesting giving these books a try.
