Four out of five stars.

This was the first book I read in the series and I’m now in the process of buying the others. This is the third to come out and I don’t know how I missed the other two.

This is about Ariel who is struggling to make ends meet because of her ex-husband. She has to pay the deadbeat alimony. He gets his in the end but anyway, she losses her house and there is nowhere to turn. Each of her friends have found their men and doesn’t want to intrude. A hunky sailor with the last name sailor helps her out. He has the hots for Ariel and she fights him at every turn. This book was, like all of Tara’s rom-coms, funny!

There is quite a twist with this one. I wasn’t expecting that to fall but enjoyed the ending.

I would definitely give this book a try, even if you haven’t read the others.

Ariel Waters and Eric Sailor were magical! Ariel is trying to get over her verbally abusive ex husband. She wants to get back to her sassy self without the help of a man. After she is evicted from her home, Eric rides to the rescue with his spare yacht. They fight like cats and dogs, but Eric just eats it up. He has never had to work for a girl, but Ariel is worth all the effort. This is definitely a must read! 5 stars for this fairy tale come true!

I was a fan of this novel. Although I loved the premise, I felt it was a novel I'd read before. I also struggled to like Ariel herself. I could not get past the first impression of a bad tempered woman who barked at life. I felt it was just a typical story that didn't really live up to the hype.

It’s the Little Mermaids turn! Or in this case Ariel and Eric finally gets their own story! This the third book in the The Naughty Princess Club series where life for this real life princesses hasn’t been all fairy tales until now. In Kiss the Girl, Ariel’s home has been repossesed and she has no choice but to bunk with Eric Sailor, on his boat/mcmansion yacht! Not the ideal set up but having no choice, she was dragged kicking and screaming out of her beloved home with nothing but her Flounders! Worst of all, she has to put up with the Eric! But as they spend more time together, she starts seeing a different Eric. Will these two finally get their own happy ever after with the Flounders?
Kiss the Girl, is funny, complete with witty banter, an ascerbic heroine, a flirty prince and a love story that will keep the reader laughing and turning the pages.

This is a new author for me, and when I first started reading the story, wasn’t quite sure how things were going to go. But, I’ve got to tell you, the more I read, the more I laughed and the more I absolutely fell in love with this book and the characters. Ariel is a no BS kinda gal who speaks her mind and takes no prisoners. Eric is the multimillionaire who falls in love with her as soon as he sets eyes on her, but needs to bide his time until the time is right. I have so many favorite parts in this book, I can’t name them all, but the friendship Ariel, Cindy and Belle have made for some hysterical situations that left me rolling on the floor. Eric is the absolute perfect match for Ariel, and Derrick Alfredo, well what more can you say about a ball licking hairless cat? Really not one thing I didn’t like in this book, so if you’re looking for a sassy, hysterical, sexy, hot and steamy story, this is it for you. Very much worth the read, and I will definitely be reading more from this author!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

F-U-N! I had so much FUN reading this book I laughed from the beginning to the end. My husband just shook his head and smiled as I giggled my way through this one. This is a re-telling of The Little Mermaid or at least I think so since my kids didn't have that Disney movie (I know bad mom) and so I never saw it but I get the gist of it from this. Ariel Waters is a collector of antiques but she has been evicted from her home and her antiques are gone with her home. Eric Sailor comes to her rescue with a place to stay, much to her very foul-mouth dismay. Oh my does she have a potty mouth! but it is quite endearing and Eric is such a goner for her and her ways. Ariel, along with Belle and Cindy (from the previous two books in the series) have started a home stripping company (they come to your home party and strip), although their business license is not coming through. There is a wicked witch in the mix and an ex-husband (sort of) and all sorts of other fun stuff. Again, LOTS OF FUN! I definitely recommend this one. It can be read as a standalone.

Tara Sivec you rock! Your books should come with a warning label that says” do not read in public for fear of laughing out loud excessively”. The book is filled with some of the craziest combinations of words I have ever seen but they are the heights of hilarity. The characters are indescribable funny and witty. I could read this everyday and not be bored.

Rating: 3.5 Stars

I had a feeling Sivec would turn this fairytale inside out and I was totally right! This is the first book I have read in the trilogy, but I intend to circle back and start from the beginning, because, as always, Sivec delivered a rather fun rom-com.

I loved what she did with these three classic tales. I had such a good time finding all the bits of the original story in Kiss the Girl, and thought Sivec did a brilliant job turning the tale on its side.

This Ariel was no Disney princess. No way. She was brash, foul-mouth, feisty, and hilarious. But you know what? She definitely encompassed the essence of the Ariel we know and love. She was fiercely independent and wanted to make it on her own. She was a collector of "things", and could sing the heck out of a pop song. Whereas original Ariel loses her actual voice, this Ariel lost her confidence and her ability to stand up for herself, so, more of her figurative voice, and I had a great time watching her get it back.

Ariel was great, but Eric was perfection. I was so in love with him. They had this kind of mutual hate going on, but it really was an intense mutual attraction that they were resisting. When the opportunity arose, Eric took his shot, and he was quite sneaky about it, but in a really sweet way. Without being obvious, he would give Ariel these little "nudges" on her path to rediscovering her confidence, and every little thing he did endeared him to me more and more. There were definitely heart eyes and swoon, when Eric was on the page.

Another thing I really appreciated was the friendship between the three naughty princesses. Women supporting women is always a good thing, and their friendship and the support they gave each other was a thing of beauty.

As with other Sivec books I have read, this one had some hysterical OTT moments. How did I not know about Goga? I had to google it, because that goat yoga scene cracked me up. Goga and a lot of other scenes were very funny - think Bridesmaids, and I loved them.

Sivec should get a round of applause for giving readers of this series such a lovely epilogue. I am a well known closure-ho, and epilogues are my thing. Not only did Sivec give us an epilogue, but it was a jump ahead epilogue with THREE time jumps. Yep! We got a little something extra for all three romances, and I really appreciated that she gifted us with those endings.

Overall: A fun OTT twisted fairytale, which made me laugh out loud, smile, and swoon.

These Princesses do not work for Disney. Three very different ladies meet up and end up having a business together. This is the story of the feistiest, most foul mouthed one of the group.
On the surface she seems fierce, courageous, outgoing and bold. Under the surface, she is fragile, scared, and lost.
Dealing with financial troubles that go from bad to disastrous, Ariel is not the type of woman who asks for help, especially not from a man.
Fortunately for her, although Ariel will be the last to admit it, Eric Sailor isn't waiting for her to ask and won't take her refusal to accept his generosity and interference.
Among the gritty details, there is humor in this book. You will find yourself cheering for this duo, booing her ex-husband, and laughing out loud.

Even though this Princess doesn't need rescuing, it feels good to know there is a Prince around willing to have her back. When it seems nothing will ever go right again, having friends who will stay by your side, not giving up on you and helping you not give up on yourself, makes all the difference. First impressions may not show the whole picture.

Tara's writing may not be for the most sensitive reader, but the story is wonderful, edgy and real.

Rating 4.5 Stars

I'm new to this series and to Tara Sivec. Since I had not read the first two books, there were a lot of backstories I wasn't familiar with. It wasn't necessary to have read the others though to enjoy Kiss the Girl. I love the premise of women finding themselves and their strength. They're capable and taking charge. Also, fun was the use of the princess stories we all grew up with as the basis of the characters. I'm not familiar with the newer stories so I don't know much about Disney's Ariel but again it wasn't necessary to enjoy this story.

Though I didn't know the history between Eric and Ariel, it didn't hinder my understanding of their antagonistic relationship. Eric is obviously smitten with Ariel but her dislike for him prevents her from seeing it. He's so strong that he isn't the least bit threatened by her attitude, her mouth and her dislike of him. He knows she'll learn to love him and he's got no interest in changing her sassy, swearing self.

When she loses her house and everything in it, he steps up to offer her a place to stay. I'm sure he'd have done it anyway but he's more inclined since it'll give her a chance to see him as the man for her. He's so sweetly calm whenever she's at her worse. He's got her back but knows that stepping up to take charge for her is not what she wants or needs.

As the story plays out, Eric wheedles his way into Ariel's heart until she finally realizes she's madly in love with him. She continues to take on the challenges of getting the Naughty Princess Club up and running with all the proper permits and takes on even the biggest, most appalling, obstacle to her life, her happiness and her business - Eric's mother. And what fairy tale is complete without an evil woman?

There's plenty of comic relief in the story as well including a hairless cat, drunk princesses and much more. I laughed, I cried, I thoroughly enjoyed Ariel and her book.

4 "Fucking Perfect" stars!

With Sivec's trademark humor and steam, KISS THE GIRL is a sweet, sexy, empowering read that I loved from start to finish. Hopefully one day, I will be able to find my own prince hot stuff and live happily ever after.

Ariel Waters became my favorite princess since she opened her mouth in At the Stroke of Midnight. Her sassiness and dirty mouth made me fall in love with her, but it was her vulnerable side the one that won me over. It was a twist I was not expecting but one that I totally loved. The underlying message of female empowerment was FUCKING PERFECT!

But as much as I loved Ariel, I have to say Eric played a significant role in the story. He was Ariel's perfect match. There is no other way to describe it. A hero worthy of being added to your list of Book Boyfriends.

And the author not only delivered a pair of ah-mazing main characters but some second ones that made me laugh my ass off every time they show up throughout the story. I'm looking at you, Mr. Triton.

Tara Sivec can write about these characters for years, and I'd still read it.

Kiss the Girl was the last book of the series and in some way, a favorite of mine. The epilogue was one of the best ones I have read, but it was a bittersweet feeling because although I found myself happy that my girls got their HEA, I was sad because I didn't want this series to end.

So if you're looking for a light-hearted, I-put-a-smile-on-your-face, swoon-worthy tale with an explosive chemistry and funny as hell banter, then this is your book!

A good fairy tale retelling love story that will have you escaping from real life for a few hours.

***5 ‘You Are Goals, Dude’ Stars***

Can you be nursing a headache and still adore the book you just finished, even though it’s kinda the books fault you have the headache???

My answer is apparently because that’s what happened here. I mean going in I prepared myself for the crazy, and did my best to prepare for the craycray that is Ariel, but whoa it took me a minute to get settled and the headache down to a dull roar instead of a pulsating sonic boom in my head. But once I did, and once things started to unfold I found this book to be addicting in all it’s batshit crazy with a good dose of heartwarming & swoon worthy goodness tossed in the mix to keep things interesting.

Ariel. Here’s the thing about Ms. Ariel. I don’t have enough fingers and toes to count how many times I wanted to reach out and gag the woman. Hand to God, I was looking for a ball gag and duct tape but in the same moment I couldn’t help but be kind of in awe of her. I mean the woman comes up with some pretty good lines and though she is abrasive, it’s cause she cares. But in the end, I kinda adored her. Finding out all her truths and finally seeing her heart had me wanting to hang out with the woman (thought I’d still have the duct tape on me...just in case.)

Eric was an absolute and swoon worthy surprise. He still had his moments where I wanted to take a 2x4 to his head, but when the reason behind those moments came to light...SWOON. The man is simply a good man, a little craycray and very brave. But a damn good man.

To say their journey to their HEA is rocky is an understatement, most of which was due to Ariel. And there were moments where I questioned Eric’s sanity. But in the end I loved them together. There was a strange kind of flow to them that worked for me and once they got past the antagonistic portion of their relationship, they rocked. The smexy was HAWT and the swoons were real and in the end they were a perfect fit for each other.

I must say that I really liked how Ms. Sivec took the Little Mermaid fairytale and made it her own. All of the elements are there, but there are a few things thrown in that had me go “Wait a minute, what?” but in a good way. PJ, Cindy, Belle and Vincent are very much apart of the story and I really enjoyed catching up with them and seeing how they’ve all evolved. Anastasia brings in her own special brand of teenage-itis, and there were a couple of new characters I really liked. And though I’m sad that this is the end, that epilogue was absolutely perfect! So, if you’re in the mood for some OTT crazy, then this is the one for you!

This was my first read by Sivec, and while I was really looking forward to it, I was kind of disappointed. There were many parts that just seemed way over the top, things that were meant to be funny, ai didn’t find any real humor in and in some parts, it was almost too cheesy.

I also had a hard time connecting to Ariel. Her “b*tchiness” came out of the blue in some areas, for no real good reason. I get that she was trying to be strong and not let another man take advantage of her, but I felt some of her attitude was unnecessary.

I’ve not read the other books in this series, and I feel like I missed out on getting certain aspects of the story. For example, at the beginning, how Eric knows exactly what to do to calm Ariel down in certain situations, I felt like that was something I should have read before being thrown into this book.

I did love Eric, how he protective of Ariel, how he cared for her throughout the entire story, was really endearing. I also loved how he never gave up on her, no matter what she threw in his way.

I love discovering new authors, so when the publisher asked me if I’d like to read Kiss the Girl, I jumped at the chance. There is no disputing that Sivec has a way with words; however, I had trouble getting into the story and just couldn’t get attached to the female protagonist. She was a tad brash and overpowering for my liking and her language; well, to say it’s colorful would be putting it mildly. Don’t get me wrong, a few juicy words here and there have never bothered me but Ariel's would make a seasoned sailor squirm!

Eric’s a real charmer. And although I liked him a lot, I couldn’t quite get my head around why he was so adamant about wooing a gal who was downright rude. But he’d made up his mind the minute he laid his eyes on this feisty red-head with issues galore. And regardless of them, not only does he go out of his way to help her, but also gives as good as he gets. I cannot deny their sizzling chemistry plays a huge in the story, I just would have liked less hysteria, perhaps more calm. At times I felt like I was watching an overly emotional soap opera but saying that, I can see the attraction for readers who enjoy plenty of laugh-out-loud scenarios.

I really don’t want to mention more than I already have as Kiss the Girl, a spin-off of The Little Mermaid could be your kind of read if you’re into Disney novelizations that present surprises when you least expect them to. The author’s secondary character development was spot on, Ariel’s besties a hoot and a half, Eric’s mother to be reckoned with. I later discovered that this is the third book in The Naughty Princess series and then it clicked, all the names made sense. Despite not being my cuppa, the fairytale-ish ending was very welcoming and I’ll definitely be reading more works of Sivec.

What a fun twist story retelling on one of my favorite princesses growing up - Ariel! Tara Sivec gives us what every mermaid obsessed adult dreams of reliving their fairy tale in a grown up version with a side you would never see on that children's network, hehe. Kiss The Girl is a cute, flirty, banter-filled angst that was a great first read for me by this author.

My favorite character in the book is Eric Sailor, hands down! He stole my heart and kept me intrigued with him in the book from beginning to end. I am not a major fan of witty and bitchy banter and Ariel's character is full of it. She won me over throughout the story, but sometimes I felt the plot to be dragged out a bit and put off from her witty comebacks and attitude.

If you love a romance novel packed with a group of best friends and following them around and their ups and downs you will definitely enjoy this book! Also if you have not read the other two books in this series it is completely fine to read this one first just as I did. The author introduces you to each of the other couples, but doesn't go in depth to their love stories... All in all a great twist on classic princess fairy tales that is a fun steamy read!

Ariel is the firecracker we've been dying to read about, she needed her fairy tale. She has this abrasive side to her but it's more of a calming mechanism and it's a riot. Eric seems to understand her and appreciates her imperfections, he encourages her to be stronger and independent. The verbal banter and new swear words are worth every laugh out loud moment. All three books together make an empowering series but someone could read them independently and still enjoy. I received an early copy through Netgalley.

I loved this book!!! It made me laugh so much. Ariel is a spitfire! She's sarcastic, sassy and has little filter. Basically if she was one of your friends you wouldn't want to put her on speaker phone, lol. Eric was the perfect balance to her. Loved that he didn't try to change her or calm it down. He truly loved her for who she was, embraced her crazy side and pushed her in all the right ways to really truly see herself. This book was funny, sexy, steamy and had a great message. Plus Tara Sivec did a great job incorporating all the components of The Little Mermaid. This was my first book from The Naughty Princess Club and I can't wait to go and read the first two books! Highly recommend this book, it's a must read!

Fantastic ending to this fairytale series. Absolutely loved Eric and Ariel. An endearing story that will make you laugh out loud. Eric is totally swoon worthy. Ariel cracks me up with her attitude and sass. Definitely worth the read.

First of all, just a quick note: This book can be read as a standalone but I really wouldn't recommend it. There's so much in this book that has been steadily built throughout the series that I'd highly recommend reading both At the Stroke of Midnight and In Bed with the Beast first.

This series of modern-day fairy tale re-tellings has been fantastic throughout with hysterical laughs, sweet, tender emotion, sizzling chemistry and 3 strong, powerful women who aren't willing to give up even when they're at rock bottom.

I adored books 1 and 2 in this series, and Kiss the Girl was a great finale, even if it wasn't my favourite book of the series.

As you can probably gather, this book is about Ariel and is a Little Mermaid re-telling (with a twist). Ariel is the loudest, most-opinionated and mouthy woman of the trio, but even she has struggles and insecurities that she keeps hidden behind her personality.

In this book it's nice to see the other side of Ariel, the side she keeps hidden from everyone but Eric.

There were plenty of sweet moments between these two characters and a lot of sexual chemistry. I loved the build-up, and how their relationship evolved over the course of the book.

Kiss the Girl promises plenty of fun, and even though it's at times a little cheesy, it's a romantic read with a really positive feminist message running throughout.

If you're looking for a very unconventional princess with a loud mouth and a blazing personality, a handsome prince, an evil b**** (oh, I meant witch!), strong friendships, several fish and even a hairless cat named Derek, this is the book for you!

This was a fun conclusion to this series. It's a little bit over the top for me in general, but the friendships are cute and the romance is steamy. Easy reads that feel good!
