Ariel was intense and it took a while for her to grow on me. I really liked Eric though and I think he helped balance her out. Overall, this was a really cute story. The hate was real for Ursula and I'm glad that Vanessa turned out to be a friend. This is the first time I've read this author but I would definitely read more.

First, a PSA: Don't read this book on an airplane (like I did) unless you're OK with the people sitting around you thinking you're crazy because you keep randomly bursting into laughter. This book will absolutely make you laugh, and possibly cry, and probably have ALL the feels as you follow along with Ariel and Eric. Over the past couple of years, Tara Sivec has become one of my favorite authors because she is so good at infusing her stories with real emotion. It's so easy for me to connect with her characters because of that. (In this case, it probably doesn't hurt that Ariel so often says, out loud, the things I say in my head, but usually don't have the courage to say in real life. If she were real, I think Ariel and I would be best friends.)

I adored the first two books in this series, but I think this one may just be my favorite. (I guess I'll have to double check that by going back and re-reading the first two - what a hardship, right? LOL) I don't want to say much more than that because I wouldn't want to spoil things for other readers, but I will say this: goat yoga is awesome, and I would give anything to see something like that in real life. (Not necessarily participate, mind you, because I would definitely mind the poop, but watching would be hilarious. #poopdance)

Please, keep the books coming, Tara Sivec. A new release from you is always a special occasion in my house.

P.S. That epilogue? Perfection! :-)

I liked the others in this series but had a hard time with this book. Kiss The Girl, an adult version with a twist of the Little Mermaid, had some ups.and downs.
I liked Eric but had a hard time liking Ariel. I found her to be a little to harsh and mean and not so sweet. She did have her moments but I. The end this wasn't my favorite.

The Naughty Princess Club is such a delightful series. Kiss the Girl stars our favorite foul-mouthed Ariel Waters and the oh-so-dreamy Eric Sailor.

Ariel Waters wants nothing to do with men or love or romance. She’s FINE. As long as fine stands for: freaked-out, insecure, neurotic and emotional. Beneath her sexy, foul-mouthed façade is a woman that has been hurt and abused. A woman who lost everything she loves because of her terrible ex-husband, Sebastian.

"For the first time since I signed those fucking divorce papers two years ago, all I hear is his voice in my head telling me I'm not pretty enough, not skinny enough, not good enough."

She may not want a knight in shining armor or a beastly man with a kind heart to save her, but Eric is determined to be the sweet, thoughtful, down-to-earth, sexy man that will help her find her voice again.

“Seeing you broken and hurting and sad is like having someone stuck a fucking knife in my chest. I don’t like it. So I’m pissing you off instead, because it brings me great joy to see you fired up."

With the help and support of her best friends Cindy and Belle, along with Eric’s antics and his ridiculous cat Derrick Alfredo (I love him), Ariel starts to believe that maybe the fairytale is possible for her too, but she’s going to have to fight villains both old and new to get it.

The perfect fairytale ending with the best quadruple epilogue! Kiss the Girl is full of laugh-out-loud humor, punny fairytale references, hilarious banter, great friends, naughtiness and sensuality, and a whole lot of girl power! These princesses don’t need saving, but they’re happy to have the support of three super sexy, charming and irresistible princes.

“Can I kiss the girl now? He whispers."
"You’re so cheesy. And no, you can’t kiss me. I’m in charge here. I’ll kiss you.”

I was provided with a copy of this book for review by NetGalley and St.Martin's Press. Thank you!

Another fun princess tale from the Naughty Princess Club! This time it's an angry Ariel who finds her prince...or does she? After being evicted from her home and having all of her precious antiques repossessed for her unpaid debts, she winds up living in an unusual situation with a unique savior. She has sworn off men after her ex has thrown her into this debt by demanding alimony which she can't afford. Can her savior Eric convince her to take one more chance on him?

An enjoyable read, as long as you don't mind some salty language as you become part of her world!

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.

4 Stars!!!

Kiss the Girl is the third book in the naughty princess series..
Ariel Waters is the person behind the Naughty Princess Club Idea. She is one among the partners along with Cindy and Belle.. Though the business idea belongs to Ariel, she has her own inhibitions in performing for their business. Every time she tries to get back her confidence, the memories of her ex-husband just tramps them off..
With her ex taking a lot from her as alimony and her antiques n house taken away by bank, she is clueless about how to go on with her life.. When her whole life is falling apart, Eric Sailor comes for her rescue.. Eric infuriates her and Ariel just cant stand him...
However with time, Eric seems to be the one person who can stand the craziness of Ariel. He seems to be the one who makes her realize her own worth and helps her get back her confidence without making it obvious..
And when they finally fall in love and happy, Eric's mom n Ariel's ex try to shatter everything they have...
There were parts in this book where i couldnt stop laughing.. I loved Eric, and though Ariel was annoying to me at first, i eventually grew fond of her..
This book was a cool and sweet read!!

This book was rom-com perfection! I'm still smiling, swooning and laughing to myself when I think about certain parts of the story. This is the third book in the Naughty Princess series but you don't have to have read the first two to love this one. I loved every word of the entire series and I wish it would keep going somehow.

So while looking at reviews, I came across a spoiler for the whole book. So since it’s ruined I’m just going to say that I’m glad I don’t have to finish reading this.

I was having trouble connecting to Ariel’s character. She came off way too snarky for me. If I was anywhere near this girl I would have to leave asap. Her character was over the top and just downright unlikeable.

I’ve read the previous book in this series and loved it. This just missed the mark for me.

BTW, please mark your reviews with the spoiler tag people!!!

I was so excited to get an advanced copy of Kiss the Girl by Tara Sivec. Having been a fan of hers for years, reading all of her books, including the other two in this series, I knew it would be amazing. I laughed for hours, as will any reader. Ariel, she's my spirit animal. A fierce, naughty, potty-mouthed, closet softy! I recommend Kiss the Girl to any lover of laughter and amazingly written books.

I am sad to say I was let down a little by this book, I love the authors older work, where it made me LOL like a crazy person, but I find now that the humour is forced now, it didn't come naturally. I dunno if that was just me, or what. but any who.

This book is the last in the series, Kiss the Girl is about Ariel and Eric. In The Naughty Princess Club.
These books should be read in order to gain more knowledge on how it all came about. Ariel is so mouthy, In your face girl you will read about, she had a crappy ex husband who made her doubt her self all the time, he was a sleazy scum bag.

Eric, he has wanted the feisty red haired Ariel since he first meet her. He has been waiting and the time is now to catch his girl.
These two are funny together, pushing each others buttons and so. But with time he is worming himself into her heart, pushing down them strong walls she has surrounding her heart.

The biggest thing that pissed me off, was the main conflict! that shit is the worst thing I hate! I'm not going to spoil what happens but grrr.
drama, drama, drama

was given an arc for an honest review

Ah, Ariel.. my second favorite Disney Princess! Seriously such a great story! I was hooked from the start. Her spunky personality drew me in and the storyline/other characters kept me turning pages until it was finished. I wish I had read the first two books before this one, but now I know I definitely need to pick them up! If they are as great as this one, I’d recommend them all. Love this story!

I read the proof copy of Kiss the Girl, by USA Today bestselling author, Tara Sivec, at
the request of the publisher, St. Martin’s Press. Sivec has created a sweet, sexy, and hilarious, but potty-mouthed romantic comedy.

Any woman who has ever doubted herself and her abilities, who has ever felt less-than, will enjoy seeing the changes in Ariel Waters as she recovers from a demeaning ex-husband, and financial ruin at his hand. Ariel and her two best friends agree to entertain as princesses at a little girl’s birthday party. When they arrive, they find that the party is for adults, not children. They suffer through, and from there springs their hugely successful new business, “The Naughty Princess Club”.

When a millionaire playboy, Eric, comes to her rescue, she is not impressed. Eric, however, is in love, and will do whatever it takes to win the girl, and to get to Kiss the Girl.

I enjoyed this light and easy read. I would have enjoyed it more if the f-word had not appeared multiple times on almost every page. It added nothing to the story – it actually detracted.

What Makes This Book Reviewer Grumpy?

• Misspelled words;
• multiple split infinitives;
• confusing further with farther;
• using “try and…” rather than “try to…”;
• misplacement of the word “only” within sentences;
• using “bring” in place of “take”;
• using singular verbs with plural nouns;
• using “i” where “me” is needed;
• referring to people as “that” rather than “who”.

Kiss The Girl is my favorite RomCom that I have read this year. I cannot believe that I have not read this author before. This book can be read as a standalone which I did however I suggest starting with the first two books in the series which I seriously wish I had done. I loved it! I loved the characters! Ariel was a hoot! Eric is definitely a prince. And I need some BFFs like the ones in this book.

Very cute take on The Little Mermaid story-only using the characters though and not really the meat of the story ;).
Ariel is a foul-mouthed antiques dealer who's been burned by a past love-Sebastian -and has hardened her heart against men. She and her two besties Cindy and Belle (wink wink) are starting a stripping business called the Naughty Princess Club. This was the third book in this series but I think that it read fine as a standalone. I enjoyed reading about Ariel coming back to her own and letting Eric help her. I was a little frustrated with her towards the beginning of the book. She knows she's close to getting evicted but can ignore that?? Thankfully, she learns to not ignore her problems thinking that they will go away.
The banter was cute between all the friends and I liked the girl power theme.
Thanks to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the ARC in return for my honest review.

I absolutely love this series by Tara Sivec. So many laugh out loud moments.
Thanks netgalley for the Arc

I loved this story, I laughed so much, Mrs. Sivec always manages to get more than a laugh and this time was no exception. A fun, light, tender, sexy story with a great teaching. I loved that even though it is based on the story of a Disney tale, it restates it in a way that the woman ends up being her own savior.

Ariel and Eric are two totally opposite characters. Ariel is a beautiful girl who likes to fend for herself but despite everything is very insecure, this caused by a very bad experience with men, so she always ends up get them away before they hurt her.

Eric, OMD (inserts emoji eyes in love here) is the perfect protagonist, handsome, sweet, sexy and always thinking about what Ariel wants first before his wishes.

For a money problem Ariel ends up living in one of Eric's boats (he offers his home as long as she can fix her problems) She keeps him away for fear of feeling insecure again and depending on a man, but as time goes they spend time together and Eric proves to be an unconditional friend, who helps her every step of the way, so that her walls are falling and little by little what they feel for each other is changing to something else.

I love them as a couple, they complement each other perfectly, their scenes are so tender and fun that you will not stop laughing out loud and blushing, and their sex scenes are boom, super hot and sexy.

The story has a stable rhythm and complex characters that will make you fall completely in love with them, and I loved the secondary characters, super sweet and loyal to their friends. And the moral about the self-sufficient woman, self-forging her own destiny, I love it, you can not ask for anything more

As always with the stories of this author kept me entertained from beginning to end, I could not stop reading until the story ended.

Super recommended to those who like romantic comedy like me. It is an must read story.

"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.

A romance aimed at the young and young at heart. Rife with raunchy humor and steamy sex scenes.
Ariel Waters is beautiful, but suffering from low esteem from an ex-husband, who, has screwed her over in ways she doesn't even know.
After her home is foreclosed on, an acquaintance, through her best friends bails her out, builds her back up and becomes the love of her life.
Ms. Sivec's story shows the love between the three women, the unwavering support of Ariel's best friends and their men, her father's love and Eric's quest to help her back to her former self, snarky and confident.
I requested and received a NetGalley ARC and wasn't sure in the beginning...a little young for me ….I thought, but as I read more I really enjoyed it.

I had just finished an emotionally draining romance when I picked up Kiss The Girl. It was a perfect choice. Tara Sivec’s series of naughty princesses has really been so much fun to read so I am sad to see it end. Eric was the perfect prince for Ariel. He stood by her and helped her see what a strong person she was inside. I loved all of the cute references to the Little Mermaid; my favorite being Eric’s mother who was named Ursula. Tara, thank you so much for the epilogue at the end on all three couples. I have loved this series and recommend it to everyone - especially if you are a huge Disney princess fan.
