Kiss the Girl is the third book in the Naughty Princess Club trilogy by Tara Sivec. It can be read as a standalone but each book is hilarious and worth reading!

Ariel Waters is my favorite character from the series, and I was so excited for her happily ever after! She swears like a sailor, is not a people person, independant,  and is protective of her friends. After she hits rock bottom they try to help her gain back her self-esteem but she keeps getting knocked down. Eric Sailor is freaking adorable! He's swoon worthy with his sexy smirk and dimples. He knows exactly what to say to keep Ariel from feeling sad and over whelmed. His snarky comments and playful banter keep her mind off her problems. He also subtly helps her gain confidence and see her own beauty and self-worth.

No one writes romantic comedies like Tara Sivec, and she is the first author I think of when it comes to the genre. The antics the woman of the Naughty Princess Club are down right hysterical and will have you laughing out loud.

Ariel comes across as a feisty, take no prisoners type of a person. But no one knows the kind of insecurities she is dealing with courtesy her ex husband.
When the bank forecloses her house, she is forced to stay on Eric’s boat.
Eric is a rich, handsome and sweet guy who has been besotted by Ariel ever since he met her. But he knows sweet is required to win her over. He meets her sassy attitude head on and I just loved their banter. It was hilarious. And their chemistry was melt the clothes off you hot. At the start I found Ariels profanity a little to much but as you get to know her, you realize it’s just a coverup.
I loved reading this book. I haven’t read the previous ones in the series and they are definitely going on my TBR list.

➳ Rate: 3,5 / 5 stars

My first Tara Sivec book and honestly I am little disappointed. I mean the story was cute and sweet. Eric was hot, the plot was good too. But this being a romcom and having heard such good things about Tara and her books, I was expecting some laugh out loud moments and I got nix, nothing, nada. I mean some of the situations Ariel found herself in were funny but she was so agressive, everything felt forced most of the time. Honestly idk I just didn't feel it.

I really liked Eric though and the feminist part of the plot. And I loved that we got epilogues for each of the couples, this being the final book that was awesome (even if I didn't read the other two books in the series). I appreciated that. I also really enjoyed when a new character popped up named after Disney story, it was fun to see the similarities.

Kiss the Girl was a good book, it was sweet and angsty even. The characters were likable just like the plot but it honestly was not as good as I had expected. That in no way means that this book might not be the perfect book for you. So check it out.

Ariel is the feisty, sassy leader of The Naughty Princess Club who claims she will never fall in love again after being screwed over by her ex husband. Eric is the rich boat owner who loves to poke Ariel's buttons to watch her react.

Ariel and Eric have that friend/enemy vibe going on, which leads to some priceless lines and banter between the two that just makes you laugh out loud. You can't help but love these two. The fact that Eric feels the need to piss Ariel off just because he doesn't like to see her sad is great.

I loved Ariel, but then again who doesn't love a feisty red head who has a mouth on her? Not only that, she is real. She married young and didn't have the greatest marriage, she was trapped in a horrible situation and she lost herself. Watching her find herself again with a little push from Eric was great.

As always though Cindy, Belle and Ariel are three people I would love to spend a lot of time with because it was be full of crazy facts and laughs.

This is a perfect book to read if you are looking for a funny, sweet, sexy romance!

I'm here to declare the Kiss the Girl is the best book in the Naughty Princess Club series! Hands down Ariel is a bad ass woman that no matter how much she fought it, she ended up with the perfect man that compliments her personality and will fight tooth and nail to kiss the girl!

Kiss the Girl is the final book in The Naughty Princess Club series and is laugh out loud hilarious, will get your cackles up and will have your screaming Girl Power! We have seen the not only the romantic relationships develop throughout the series, but the friendships between Cindy, Belle and Ariel. The bond they developed since meeting at rock bottom is tight knit and the type of friendships all women long for.

Ariel and Eric together is probably the best couple of the series in my opinion. All of the relationship in this series were great and romantic, but the way that Eric stepped and showed Ariel that she matters, that she is worth and really built her up made my heart soar and melt into a puddle of heart shaped goo. He really took the time to treasure her and get to know her on a level more intimate than sex. When the going got tough he didn't bail on her, he stuck around and proved himself.

Dang it. Kiss the Girl is stellar and a must read romantic comedy that feminist will be proud of! The epilogue was EPIC! We were get caught up with each couple from the series and let me tell you... YOU WILL SWOON. That said. START THIS SERIES FROM THE BEGINNING. Do NOT start this series with Kiss the Girl. Go back and start reading At the Stroke of Midnight!

I adore Tara and this book is no exception, I loved aerial her potty mouth, her no shit attitude and the witty banter she has with her friends and Eric ! Makes a great Rom com the unique twist on a certain princess is brilliant with all the characters you’d expect to see

The fact that there is an element of angst to this book with the anguish serial feels for her past and how she and her friends decipher her needs is great

A brilliant read, left me with a smile on my face x

4.5 Hilarious!

The Naughty Princess Club gals are a hoot. While this story revolves around Ariel an Eric, who provide plenty of laughs, the other club gals and their significant others from the previous books are present as well.

Without spoiling anything all I'm going to say is there are GOATS! In typical Sivec fashion, the dialog and antics had me splitting a gut at times.

A romantic comedy I would say, worth 3.5 star for me. The naughty princess club is about 3 girls who happen to be stripper... but somehow fall in love. This should be the third book of the series, but can be read as a standalone. Ariel was dumped by her ex-husband and after she hates man, until Eric appears she starts to fall a little a little more each time. I guess reading the first 2 book will be better, to understand about her 2 other friends Cindy and Belle.

I tried. I really did, but the over the top Disney references (Ariel Waters is divorced from a French man named Sebastion, finds a new love with Eric Sailor whose mean mother is named Ursula. Oh and Ariel's dad is names C. King) were too much. Probably my fault for not being more aware of what I was downloading.

4.5 stars!

This book was so cute; it made me laugh and smile the whole time. I loved Ariel and Eric's relationship!

I knew after getting to know Ariel that she would not be easy to break, but deep down she has a soft heart. Eric and Ariel's banter and sexual tension were written very wittily, (of course it's Tara) and the chemistry was HOT!

I loved how Eric was this rich man that got everything he always wanted just handed to him until he met Ariel. She gave him a run for his money, but he still pursued her relentlessly.

"I took one look at you, and I knew for the first time in my life that I'd have to work my fucking ass off. And it would be worth every mouthy moment from you."

Tara tied this original fairy tale into such a great book, and let's not forget Ursula. I love how she spun that story.

This was a quick, easy read that was incredibly enjoyable.

I really struggled to get into this book at first. The language was quite off-putting, and I probably talk like that in real life. I'm just not used to reading it. It was a cheesy romp, but sometimes that is necessary. The Disney connection was quite worn out by the end of the book, to me. Very heavy handed, which is the branding so I understand.

I love this story! I laughed and fell in love with Eric and Ariel, I haven’t read the other in the series, but now I am definitely going to. It was amazing, swoony and hot. Ariel`s dirty mouth got me cracking through the whole story. Tara Sivec just got herself a 5 star review because I can’t give it more!

Ariel Waters has been struggling to stay afloat with her ex-husband wringing alimony payments out of her. And now, time has run out on her financial problems and she is forced to leave everything she owns behind. Without a place to stay, the last man she wants to rescue her isn't going to keep standing aside any longer...

Eric Sailor has wanted Ariel since the first moment he laid eyes on her. Stepping in to help when she is at her lowest, he is uniquely insightful into what Ariel really needs... 

The Naughty Princess Club is highly successful, but when one of it's owners still hasn't taken the stage, it's all hands on deck to help Ariel shine through as only she can...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I absolutely loved the Naughty Princess Club series, it was incredibly sexy and empowering, and featured three women who couldn't be any more different from each other. With their unlikely friendship, they will steal their way into your hearts one strip tease at a time...

Ariel has always been the outspoken and confident one, and not only is she super high strung, but she has a low self-confidence we never would have seen coming. While she has her reasons for not yet taking the stage and show the world her mad stripper skillz, Ariel is determined to work past her hang ups and show the world what she's made of... 

Eric comes from money and has never had to work too hard for anything in his life... until Ariel. Helping her heal after her damaging marriage, and showing her that not all men are like her scumbag ex, Eric is playing the long game to win Ariel; heart and soul... with lot's of hot sex in there, too.

Eric was such a sweet and thoughtful character, and the perfect match for the sassy Ariel. I loved his ability to get her fighting back with just a few words, and his seemingly effortless method of bringing her confidence back and stronger than ever.

While Ariel was one of my favorite characters in the series, I felt a little disappointed in her story. She was still as fun and outspoken as always, but it felt as if her character was a little too much all over the place with her problems and insecurities. 

With Ariel's story, the continuation of Cindy and Belle's happily ever afters and an epilogue that is guaranteed to put a smile on your face, this book wrapped up this unforgettable series beautifully, and is not to be missed. 

I received a complimentary copy of this book for my honest and unbiased review.

ARC received via Netgalley for an honest review

I have loved all the stories in the Naughty Princesses series, however I feel that Ms Sivec has definitely left the best till last with Kiss The Girl.

I have been impatiently waiting for Ariel's story since the minute she knocked on Cindy's door back in book one, and Ms Sivec has definitely not disappointed.

I am pretty sure that if she was real, Ariel and I would be the best of friends. I am not sure who swears more, her or me lol. We would need to count to check that one out!

I loved Ariel and Eric together, and needed them to fight their way to their HEA. And what fun that fighting was - fighting is foreplay they say!

I loved getting more of Charming and Cindy, and Belle and Vincent - I have to say, Belle really has turned into a dirty little minx hahaha

I laughed, I cried, and I go oh so angry whilst reading this book. I couldn't put it down and was up reading till 2am to finish it.

I am going to miss these girls, but I can't wait to see what Ms Sivec brings us next.


**will go live on blog and amazon on release day**

I was super excited to read an ARC e-copy of Kiss the Girl. I loved the first two books in this series and had high hopes going into this book. The story did not disappoint at all! I loved every minute of reading this book!

Ahhhh, you guys we finally have the most anticipated book 🙊!! Kiss the Girl is the final book in Tara Sivec's, The Naughty Princess Club series ❤. Ariel and Eric get their own story and we get a front row seat to the craziness as it unfolds!

The Little Mermaid happens to be a 2nd favorite story/movie of mine. I mean hello, who doesn't want to be a mermaid like Ariel #sigh. This modern retelling of the beloved story had all the fun, sexiness, and adventure you'll find yourself longing for.

Ariel Waters became my favorite from the very beginning of the series. She was sassy, feisty, charming, funny, and crazy lol. Though she is crazy in this book, I felt like she lost a bit of her fire and of herself and that's what I originally loved about her from the other books. When we learn her story, her insecurities come into the picture and she becomes meek when confronting her ex... But then Eric Sailor comes in, bulldozing down her walls and helps build her confidence back up 😍. Now, don't get me wrong, I absolutely adored watching Ariel fall in love like her other gals, but what I did not like seeing was her be depressed and down. Her spark ultimately went out when it was her time to shine.

Those things aside, I loved this story. Add in new characters and the squad and you get an epic romcom! This may not have been a favorite, but it still had me rolling with laughter and ended with a sweet epilogue. I definitely recommend this book to everyone who loves a good laugh, angst, and sexy moments 💚 Ugh, I'm going to miss these beloved characters.

This is the first book by Tara Sivec that I have read. It's funny, I'm in her fb group, follow on fb and have even met her once or twice, but for some reason, hadn't gotten around to reading anything by her! Boy, am I realizing my mistake! I was given this book and on a whim decided, why not? The blurb sounded cute. That was pretty much all I went on. I expected it to be cheesy but had no idea how obsessed I would be from page one! Ariel is my spirit animal. From her mouth, to her self esteem, and to her love of carbs. She is, in my opinion, perfect. And I love seeing her in such a fun and real light. Also, this book was hot! It was seriously the perfect combination of laugh out loud funny, sweet and sexy, and just plain awesome. The bad a**ery of Ariel, Cindy and Belle are amazing and I will most definitely be checking out their books, along with everything else by this author!

After Kiss of the Spindle I was a bit hesitant to pick up another fairy tale retelling. However, since I had already read In Bed with the Beast of Tara Sivec (and loved it), I started on The Little Mermaid. But apart from the red hair and the tendency to hoard antiques, this Ariel is nothing like the original fairy tale princess. Bad mouthed, crazy and funny as hell are her armour. Because deed down, Ariel is an insecure girl, thanks to Sebastian, her ex-husband.
When the alimony she is forced to pay him, becomes too much for her to pay, she is evicted. Eric Sailor (what's in a name...) offers her a place to stay. But although Ariel can't stand the guy, she really doesn't want to impose on her best friends, Cindy and Belle from the Naughty Princess Club.
The story is fastpaced, wit a lot of reference to the original fairy tale. But with a lot of funny twists and turns. Absolute hilarious story, so five out of five stars from me. And a special thank you to Netgalley for providing the arc.

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 will not succumb to the V, I will not succumb to the V..."

As I suspected, the author saved the best for last. Ariel, the redhead with the fiery temper and no filter. She won me over in the first book and I've been waiting for her story ever since. I knew she was hiding secrets and I couldn't wait to find out what they were and who would be man enough to Kiss the Girl with armor thicker than Ariel's scales. Yes, I did guess, but I wasn't sure at first because she's abrasive to all men, but one, in particular, brought it out of her more than most. What fun it was to watch him attempt to get past her defenses.

I thoroughly enjoyed every book in The Naughty Princess Club series. What a unique and interesting idea the author's imagination conjured for our entertainment. It's the perfect #GirlPower #LadiesNight #LaughTilYouCry #SwoonAndSigh remedy for whatever ails you. I guarantee that these quirky friends, their witty banter, and their unconditional love and support will leave you with a smile on your face. They have no problem with day drinking and their unconventional solutions to problems are hilarious, they do their best brainstorming while drunk. I will never see a Disney reference without being reminded of these naughty princesses going forward. I'm anxious to see what she will come up with next. The line forms here...
