This was my first Tara Sivec book to read but it will not be my last. Kiss The Girl was one of the funniest books I have ever read. I laughed out loud so many times while reading it and just felt good all over. The language is strong but totally appropriate for this story.

This is book 3 in this series but each book stands alone. There was enough back story in this one for me to get what the first two were about so you do not have to read the first two to read this one but I will now go buy those and read them because this one is that good.

Three women meet, Cindy, Belle, and Ariel, and find they have several things in common, mainly they are broke and have been hurt by a man. They decide to open a business together, The Naughty Princess Club and become independent women who will never need a man again to take care of them. This book is focused on Ariel, the sassy, independent, in your face, dirty mouthed friend. Everything is falling apart for Ariel and of course what happens except Eric Sailor sails in to save her. Yes, this series has a princess theme which is so good.

I received an early copy to read and review and give my honest opinion. I absolutely loved this book. I laughed, I even teared up a time or two, and just totally enjoyed it. I highly recommend this book.

Do not read this book if you are delicate! This is crude, lots of swearing, and sex! IT WAS AWESOME! HAHA! I have to say...I have not laughed this damn hard while reading a book in as long as I can remember! This third book in the Naughty Princess Club was hilarious, and it is better if you read them in order, but you will not be lost reading this solo.

Ok...Tara Sivec has written another amazing book! Tara's writing style is unique and a RomCom like no other. From the start, where Ariel is interviewing potential roommates, to her eviction, to the scene in the meeting, I couldn't stop laughing. The story line is great! The supportive characters are fabulous!

Ariel and Eric are such a fun couple! She is so B!t@hy, and he is so patient and knowing with her! They are quite the unlikely match, but...

I TOTALLY recommend Kiss the Girl!!!!

3.5 Stars

Kiss the Girl is my first novel by Tara Sivec. I liked the twist on a fairy tale and how she wove in characters from The Little Mermaid into the story line. That being said, I struggled with this book.

I think that not having ready book 1 and 2 was a bit of a disadvantage. While it could be read as a stand alone, I was taken aback by Ariel's abrasive nature and sailors mouth. I couldn't really understand what Eric saw in her and frankly wouldn't have wanted to be in the same room, let alone friends with her.

I seem to be in the minority and will read the first two books on the series to see if my opinion of Ariel changes at all.

First thing to know: This book had me laughing right from page one. Hilarious! This is the third book in the Naughty Princess Club series and it was the most fun, at least for me. That’s saying something because I enjoyed – and laughed – when I read the first two.

This story is about Ariel Waters (yesssssssss, it is a ‘princess’ name, just like her friends) and Eric Sailor. Both of their back stories are tangled and convoluted, and each of them needs to come to terms with it/them before they can move on. Tara comes across as strong and forward but we get to know that she has a teeny softie buried under all that sass. And Eric. He knows just what she needs, sometimes before she even knows.

Ariel’s friends are a part of the story but it can be read as a standalone. Personally, I always enjoy a story in a series if I’ve already met the other characters.

Tara is dealing with an ex from Hades, red tape for her business with her friends (The Naughty Princess Club stripping business), and losing everything she has ever owned. And Eric is right by her side, all the way through. For Tara, she can’t really decide if she can trust her instincts with Eric or if she should continue to be a screaming maniac to keep people at arm’s length. Both she and Eric grow and change and as I said at the top, it is often hilarious; at times touchingly deep; and always fun to read. I was firmly in the ‘I hope they make it’ camp and thoroughly enjoyed the book. There are lots of people to love, and there are people you’ll want to smack. Works for me!

This one was a miss for me and to be honest of the three members of the Naughty Princess club I wanted her story the most. She's mouthy and ballsy and just seemed so bad ass. But the writing was too slapstick and over the top for me to appreciate the underlying story.

I do like Tara Sivec's writing but sometimes she veers off course into things that start out funny and then the jokes...they just never seem to stop.

Thank you so much to Swerve and SMP Romance for the chance to read and review Kiss the Girl! This book was such a fun conclusion to the Naughty Princess Club series! I will post a full review closer to release.

Tara Sivec’s writing is very unique, and one that I’ve come to find I have to be in a specific mood for, because even being familiar with her writing, I didn’t love Kiss the Girl the way I expected to love it.

Don’t get me wrong – I enjoyed it, especially the first half. It was funny and cute, and cheesy in a way that I expected and anticipated so I kind of enjoyed it. Everyone needs a little cheese every once in a while. But while I liked the first half, and even liked the book overall, it kind of started to fall apart towards the end.

If you’ve read Tara Sivec before, you know that she has a very crude and boisterous sense of humor. Her writing can be absolutely hilarious, and while I chuckled a few times, it seemed more forced in this book for some reason. I like when her humor comes a little more organically.

Again, I didn’t dislike this book at all. Kiss the Girl didn’t make me swoon the way In Bed with the Beast did, but it’s light-hearted and fun, definitely a good go-to book if you’re just coming off of a particularly heavy read.

This was the perfect ending to this series! I loved Ariel! She’s sassy, swears like a sailor and is very loyal. It is so laugh out loud funny. Although the beginning broke my heart. Eric is the perfect match for her. He’s sexy and so funny. This is a definite 5 star must read! I received an advance review copy from NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

Ariel is the third princess in the series and she's the fiercest of them all. After everything she owns is taken from her in the divorce process, she struggles to discover what she's meant to do with her life. Her self-esteem is at an all-time low and she's lost trust in the opposite gender. Eric Sailor is determined to help Ariel through the low points, but he's also had feelings for her since the day they met. This is a charming, enemies to lovers tale that you'll find yourself laughing out loud while reading!

Recoverng from an abusive relationship is difficult to do. Finding the person who can help erase the damage is amazing. Ariel found it in Eric and the hot sex was an added bonus.

This is a wonderful twist on the modern day little mermaid, with a uber sassy princess that builds herself back up with the help of her best friends and Eric. This story will make you laugh, and fall for each character.

Unfortunately, this book was not as enjoyable as the first book in the series, which I found pleasantly charming and delightful. Tara Sivec's books are funny but this one overshot the mark for me, but it was so nice to see Ariel come into her own with this book.

This was my first book by Tara Sivec and I'm not sure that I would read another. Ariel had a very foul mouth. Don't get me wrong - I have no problem with characters cussing up a storm in books, but she just took it to a whole new level. And it wasn't flattering or even really conducive to the book. Just like I hate reading ALL CAPS IN TEXTS AND EMAILS, I definitely hate reading it in a book. Those were my observations on the writing style and it just didn't click with me.
On to the story - I liked Eric. He was sweet and caring and really liked Ariel. I enjoyed the scenes between them two, but honestly skimmed the rest of the book because their scenes were the best parts of the book. It was an okay book, but just not my taste. **ARC provided by the publisher and NetGalley. All opinions are my own**

A very unlikeable adult woman acting like a spoiled teenager cussing her way through loosing her house (because she ignored the bank notes and warnings) and moves onto the yacht of a helpful guy she absolutely despises.
Don't be offended by the f-word if you read this. Or you'll be utterly desensitized to it after.

Had no idea this was the last title in this series and I guarantee it made no difference as I flew right through! A one sitting read for me - loved this book and so needed this hysterical Rom-Com in my life right now! A light-hearted romance that made me laugh from beginning to end.

Ariel, like many women, is struggling to find her strength again after being broken down bit by bit by her condescending ex-husband. Never feeling good enough, she has sworn off men and relationships for good. Concentrating on getting her and her best friend's new business going, she has no time for a guy like Eric.

Eric, the rich-kid with a heart of gold, in the sweetest most subtle ways possible, finds his way into her heart. He's willing to let Ariel be Ariel while providing just what she needs - a true partner. When she is at her absolute lowest, he steps in and helps her build herself back up. Helped her find her own confidence again and making her see her own beauty, strength, and voice again. And of course, the fact that he can throw down the wisecracks as quick as she can, make these two just too cute for words. I laughed, I cried and didn't want it to end... Highly recommended!!

This book was cute. It reminds you of your own Disney princess. I would love to see another book written like this.

3.75 stars.
My second Tara Sivec read, the first was the middle book in this fun and quirky trilogy : The Naughty Princess Club.
This author certainly knows how to deliver an absolutely hilarious rom-com with many over the top moments included.
Laughs aside , I really enjoyed how she incorporated the cartoon princess Ariel into this sweet and sexy story.
Ariel's tough, sassy external personality concealed an inner tender and vulnerable side. Her antics though, were so sidesplittingly funny and entertaining at times especially when they also included Eric.
Eric was such a sweet, gorgeous man. He really knew how to push Ariel's buttons but he also knew the way to help her heal on the inside from all her past heartbreaks without her even realizing his intentions.
This book could be read as a standalone but I do recommend starting with book one.
I also need to go back and read that one as well.

Kiss the Girl is the third installment in Tara Sivec's Naughty Princess Club series and in my opinion it is the best one yet. It's been great how Sivec has taken these well recognized fairy tales and turned them into real life stories.

Ariel Waters has always been the most outspoken of the three friends who started the Naughty Princess Club together. She seems to be confident, sassy, outspoken and comfortable with herself, but we quickly learn that looks can be deceiving. She is actually very insecure and her previous relationship had much to do with that.

Eric Sailor has been intrigued by Ariel since the first time she opened her mouth and told him what she thought! When Ariel literally loses everything when her house is foreclosed on, Eric steps in and gives her a place to stay and he also happens to be the one person who seems to have gotten her number. He can see through the facade she has built and he's determined to wear her down.

As in all good romances, there are hurdles to overcome and in the end, will Eric be able to help Ariel find her voice again?

The banter was on point, the sexy times were hot and there were laugh out loud moments throughout this book. This was definitely my favorite of the series and I would recommend reading the first two books in the series so that you have context of all of the characters since they all appear in this book and having the back story is helpful. Go forth and enjoy this endearing true to life telling of one of my favorite fairy tales!

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:)

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

Absolutely love this series. It’s finally Ariel’s turn to find her happily ever after. Omg, I laughed, got teary eyed and had a smile on my face while I was reading this book. This by far is my favorite in the Naughty Princess Club series. I love Ariel & Eric and every minute that they are together. I couldn’t get enough of them especially when they were at Goat Yoga lol. Truly an amazing read that you won’t want too put down.
