oh, this was such a fun book! what a wonderful end to such a fabulous series. i will admit, the first book i read from this author really did not work for me and i requested at the stroke of midnight based on the cover and synopsis, not realising it was the same author. once i received it and realised, i almost didn't read it and that would have been so stupid! i'm so glad i gave it a go because it was so fun and sexy, the friendship between the 3 girls was fabulous and i just loved it. then i loved the second one and i was champing at the bit waiting for this one! as soon as i got it, i knew i wouldn't be waiting until closer to the release date - i read it immediately and it was every bit as fabulous as the first 2.

these books are silly and ridiculous and SO.MUCH.FUN. i laughed several times, swooned a little, they were sexy AF but actually had a story and plot... loved them all. i love a good fairytale retelling and i love all the messages in these books - especially in this one, the author dealt with the whole ex brought her down and ruined her self confidence thing SO WELL. it felt super realistic and i loved the whole thing.

and i just loved eric. swoooooon. like hardcore, he made the book for me. i mean, i loved ariel, don't get me wrong, but swoon.

my favourite thing about these books (besides the guys, gah) is the friendship the girls have. i just love that, i love how they help each other and make each other stronger. i just really love these girls.

that's all from me really, i really enjoyed this series and though i didn't enjoy the first tara sivec book i read, this series has put her on my 'authors i will definitely read again' list.

now, i just have one teeeeeeeny tiny complaint and i realise it's ridiculous.... but. at the end in that *adorable* epilogue, belle and vincent are in their interview at USCIS and they are asking the questions that the government asks when you marry a US citizen etc etc etc, but then they say his citizenship is approved. you can't just skip the permanent residency/green card and go straight to citizenship. unless you've been a lawful resident for exactly 5 years, and if that were the case, they wouldn't be asking belle and vincent questions regarding their marriage. now i KNOW this is ridiculous and most people wouldn't even notice let alone be bothered, but there you go. it bothered me just a smidgen and moving on now.

What a fantastic, hilarious romance, an h that is down on all men and her luck, and an H that shows her with actions how a man should treat his lady...you also get the awesome girlfriends, the sleaze ball ex and the h and H making lemonade out of lemons.

*Book Received in Exchange for Honest Opinion/Review*

This book was a f*ckin delight! I have been excited for Ariel's book since her loud mouth busted onto the scene, screaming, cussing, and causing chaos. And let me tell you, it did not disappoint, if anything it exceeded my expectations. I was trying desperately to savor it because it's the last book in the series but lets be honest...I couldn't put the d*mn book down!

First let me talk about the characters, Ariel was so much more than who she was seen as in the early books. This woman is filled with depth and has been to h*ll and back. I felt for her and to see her so broken from her ex-husband had me in rage. But watching her become the sassy, no sh*t, confident AF woman we all know she is was awe-inspiring. I want to be Ariel...I think we could all benefit from having a little bit of Ariel in our life. Now I know I said PJ was my favorite....and then Beast, but lets be real, ERIC SAILOR is the BEST! Seriously, I was swooning so hard for him. His ability to read Ariel and know what she needs had me sighing all the feels. Not only is he drop-dead sexy but he is witty, charming, and was sweeping me off my feet with his heartfelt confessions that were balanced with a heavy dose of sexual tension.

The banter between Ariel and Eric had me in a fit of giggles. You know the old school 80s movies where a teenager lays on the bed and rolls around giggling and chatting...that was me with this book. I couldn't stop, I was just crushing and blushing so hard. In contrast to Cindy and Belle's book, I was so thankful that Ariel and Eric's wasn't as much of a slow burn. I mean this has been building up for three books now and I was going to combust just from the electricity in the air when these two are in the same room. Seriously, make sure you have a nice, tall glass of ice water going into this book, you will need it.

I loved that Ariel and Eric had to fight for their love. From a garbage pile of an ex-husband to a toxic mother (seriously, she is the f*ckin worst!), things just kept finding a way to come between them. But with a little meddling from their friends, they get the happily ever after they deserve. The epilogue was by far the best part of the book, I was holding back tears and sighing in content as Tara fulfilled all my hearts desires. She not only gave these characters closure and wrapped everything up in neat, little bows, but she gave us readers closure. I can honestly say I closed the book and its been a couple hours and I am still sitting her smiling over it.

An absolutely hilarious series, with an epic conclusion, I cannot recommend it enough. Light-hearted, fun, and will leave you smiling for days and feeling all the feels.

A "Naughty Princess Club" bringing laughter, hilarity and total absurdness help to bring the reader to a place that is so much fun! Each page of reading wanted the main heroine of the book to succeed beyond measure and find the right combination of love, laughter and friendship in her life. Thoroughly enjoyable and so much fun to read! Thank you for the opportunity to have read this book prior to publication--it was thoroughly enjoyed!

I want to be Ariel when I grow up! I loved her outburst, her dirty mouth and her affection towards her friends. She comes off incredibly abrasive, because she’s built a wall around herself. She’s the last of the Naughty Princess Club. She struggles with self-confidence, as well as doubting herself as her ex was a douche.

In strolls Eric, a wealthy gentleman who has a stake in Charming’s but also has a couple yachts. He’s drawn to Ariel. He strokes the fire inside because he understands her. He is one of the swooniest hero in this series.

Ariel and Eric navigate the through mucky bone deep feelings that couple go through. But holy goodness. The sexuality prowess when these two are together is magic! They were magic. Eric led Ariel to find voice, again. She always had it.

This. This right here is why I LOVE THIS BOOK! It doesn’t get any truer than this!! “One who doesn’t take your power or your independence away. Once who lifts you up instead of putting you down. One who is proud to stand by your side and fight whatever battle he can, not because he doesn’t think you can do it on your own, but because he can’t handle standing by and doing nothing. Because he truly cares about you.”

Tara Sivec mixes hysterical laughter, almost to the point of peeing, with heartfelt situations individuals and couples struggle through. I was consumed by this book. A top 2018 read for me. A book that will stay with me.

This series is so good. Funny, entertaining, romantic. Ariel's character in this book is definitely not the sweet/quiet/shy Ariel we all grew up with. I was cracking up so much because Ariel is outspoken, crude, rude and super feisty.

Ariel is losing her home because ever since her divorce and her loser ex-husband issues, she falls behind on her mortgage. Her house, her antiques, the things that make her the happiest, she's losing. Enter Eric, a pain in her side, but she definitely has a thing for him. When Eric met Ariel the first time, her first words to him were F*** Off....Well, it does the total opposite for him, he wants her and he wants her to fall madly in love with him. While she crashes on one of his yachts, she tries to stay away from him or push him away but he is quite irresistible. There are issues with the business license for the Naughty Princesses, enter in Ursula. Just perfect! I don't want to give too much away but this book was awesome!

The relations and intermixings of 'The Little Mermaid' were so perfect. I love the 'Flounders', Flounder 1, Flounder 2 and so on.....I laughed so much in this book, this is definitely one of my favorite rom coms and Ariel is my favorite in this series!!! Ms. Sivec did such a fantastic job with these 3 books! The banter, the writing, the drama...perfect....Definitely add this to your TBR!

Let me start by saying that although this is the third book, it's the first book that I've read in this series and it can be read as a standalone. I've read other books from this author and enjoyed them so I was excited to read this story. This story wasn't for me. I liked most of the characters in the book; well every character except one of the main characters, Ariel. From the very beginning of the story Ariel acted crazy, dramatic, bitter, childish and too over the top and I was hoping that along the way she would mature some but she was aggravating me whole story. Not only with her actions aggravating, but how she spoke to people and her friends grated on my nerves. I truly disliked her and it's hard to like a story when you dislike one of the main characters even if you do enjoy the side characters. Maybe if I had read the previous books I would have been accustomed to her actions and antics but I didn't and this one was just too much. This story just wasn't for me.

Kiss the Girl is book three in the Naughty Princess Club series by Tara Sivec. I just did finish this book and feel like gushing I loved it so much. Maybe it was even my favorite of the three. This series is a trio of fairy tale retellings. First we had Cinderella, next Beauty and the Beast, now we have Ariel and her very own prince charming, Eric. These are three women who have all hit rock bottom. Together they found friendship and support and came up with a way to regain their independence, to get their feet back under them again, by starting a stripping business.

Thanks to her ex-husband, Ariel Waters lost everything. During their years married, he slowly stripped her of every ounce of self confidence. Even now, when she looks in the mirror, she still sees the woman he told her she was, not good enough. Cindy and Belle are both dancing now for their business. But Ariel, even though she puts on a blustery show, is only doing the administrative duties for their business. She just can’t put herself out there. Now, on top of everything else, she is losing the only things she has left to call her own, her house and her antiques that she collected, because she couldn’t keep up the mortgage payments.

Ever since Ariel met Eric Sailor, it seemed like he did everything possible to antagonize her. So why is it that whenever he was anywhere near her, just the sound of his voice or the smell of his cologne would raise goosebumps? On the day when everything fell apart, it was Eric that seemed to know just the right thing to say and do to help her.

As Ariel gets to know Eric better, she sees the real Eric that she didn’t notice before. The good man, the man that really sees her! He makes her laugh, and he looks at her like she’s his everything.

But, the waters aren’t all smooth sailing for these two. This story also comes with an evil witch. And she does NOT want Ariel to get her happy ending. What Ariel does have, in addition to a man who adores her, is two best friends. And when things go down hill for Ariel, they are right there for her in the most hilarious of ways.

This story has everything. Ariel’s Dad is hilarious. And with these three women, there is constant craziness. There might even be some goat yoga involved!

Can you read this as a stand alone? Yes. But, then you wouldn’t really understand the closeness of these three women and what they have all gone through to get where they are now. I feel like this book was a little longer than the others? I’m not positive about that. What I am positive about is how much I loved it. I also loved the way Tara Sivec wrapped everything up with all three couples. It was perfect.

So get those one click fingers busy and get started on this series. Get to know Cindy, Belle and then Ariel and the men who love them. Prepare to laugh, sigh, swoon, maybe even cringe a time or two. And prepare to fall in love, just as I have.

The language is this book is atrocious. Every other word is a swear word in this book, there were way to many f bombs in this story. It got annoying and I just started skimming at one point. There is nothing creative about having a character swear so much where this is her only character trait. It was an interesting story line with very interesting situations and having the whole crew from previous books included in this one made it special. The epilogue at the end was super great and really made the book. Eric is super hot and stripper Eric is panty melting hot! Eric is a strong character and his relentless pursuit of Ariel is so sweet in this book.

This book was wonderful and I enjoyed the story. I look forward to reading the other two books in this series. I definitely recommend this book, this series, and this author.

Tara Sivec is the QUEEN of snarky heroines, stunning hero's that make you swoon HARD, and laugh out loud comedies. It's no surprise that this is another 5 star hit for me- I love her books, I love the way she brings her characters to life and makes me want to befriend them all, and I love how her books, no matter how hilarious, have a really sweet love story.

Kiss the Girl is the third book in the Naughty Princess club. Technically, this book can stand alone, although I would personally recommend reading them in order because you'll get a good idea of the characters if you do so. This series follows three women (Cindy, Belle, and Ariel) as they open their own business of naughty princesses. These princesses do private "showings" for mostly male clientele. Okay fine, they strip! I was trying to make it seem classy because calling them strippers doesn't make it seem that way. But they totally are, I swear! Anyway, each book follows one of these best friends as they navigate the new business and fall in love. In this one, Ariel and Eric come together, although it it isn't easy. Ariel HATES men. Her ex put her through the ringer and she has no attention of settling down with any guy. But Eric seems to get her... In a way that no other man has...

Readers are going to LOVE Ariel's story. She has always been one of my favorite characters from the series because her mouth is PRICELESS. She says the funniest stuff and I was literally rolling around laughing. It's just such fun humor and I totally get her as a character. If you haven't had the chance to read the series yet I highly recommend grabbing a copy! It's such a fun series with fantastic characters and swoon worthy love. I love it to pieces!

Perfect rom-com for fans of enemies-to-lovers romance with plenty of sharp, rapid-fire banter and bickering. This is a must read if you love romance novels about women who lose their cool, women who hate to shop, women who build supportive yet non-standard friendships, or women who come back stronger.after hard times. This is a must read if you can appreciate the humor in hairless cats, goat yoga, carb addiction, taco obsession, cat dads, random movie references, cocktails with raunchy names, and overprotective fathers who sometimes try too hard.

This is the third book in the Naughty Princess Club series. I haven't read the others, but I'm not sorry I started with this one. In fact, I'm eager to go back and read the others, even though I might know a little about how those stories end. I just know there are plenty of laughs in those other books to make it worth my time. Besides, I can't be too surprised to learn that the other couples go their HEAs, can I?

Kiss the Girl is the third book in the Naughty Princess Club trilogy. It follows Ariel and Eric's story. I loved the message of empowerment and Ariel's journey into finding her confidence again. Ariel was hilarious, opinionated, and secretly very caring. I enjoyed her relationship with Eric. He was very patient and understanding. I would highly recommend this book and series to anyone looking for a good romcom!

Ever since I finished reading In Bed With the Beast (book #2 in the Naughty Princess Club) I've been looking forward to reading Ariel's story. Ariel is a real firecracker who made me laugh in that book so I figured a book based on her would be amazing. I did enjoy it, and I had several laugh out loud moments. However, I felt like it was too over the top, too many curse rants, and too many moments of her anger that she was just straight up rude. I had a hard time connecting with her as much in this book as in the previous book. I loved Eric though, talk about an amazing man. He was my favorite character in this book. The epilogues at the end were nice, I was glad we got to find out the "ending" for Cindy and Belle too, not just Ariel. The series was wrapped up nicely.

If you already know the series, you know what you're getting, but it's not necessary to have read the previous two books. It's just that readers who enjoyed the first two, riffing off Cinderella and Beauty and the Beast, have been watching foul-mouthed, crass, loud, brash Ariel, who despite her brashness is steadfastly loyal to her besties.

It's her turn for romance, and of course her tale is going to start off with a bang, as four, not one, but four, sheriffs (complete with Tasers) come to serve papers on her announcing that she's basically lost everything. And they expect her to go ballistic because of . . . the Starbucks Incident. (cue Jaws music)

Even her friends have a tough time trying to calm her down so she won't get carted off to the klink, until the man she hates more than fire comes in and tells her to go to town! Go ballistic! Get crazy! He'd rather see her be her own feisty self than broken and defeated, which is a knife to his heart.

What's she to do with that?

Before she can figure it out, he's swept her off to his gigantic yacht (she hates boats, and hates the water), complete with cat (she hates cats). . . . and the battle of the sexes is on, starting with Goat Yoga.

If you don't care for gusts of foul language and hilarious interruptions to sex (as well as plenty of successful sex) and women making a go of a stripper business, this isn't the story for you. But as the summer gets more sweltering and the news more grim, I found myself laughing so hard I had to page back and reread scenes.

It's very over the top (if it were more realistic I would have found the physical violence against her sleazy ex problematical at best) but as a sort of text version of a crazy romcom movie, it works like gangbusters.

Wow! Firecracker? Spit Fire? Raging B!tch? Fun? Sassy? Take no prisoners? - How does one even begin to describe Ariel? Probably all of the above. However you want to describe her, she is fun to read about! She is so busy trying to keep her 100mph life on track, that she is like a tornado through her own life, and her friends get caught into the vortex. It's a great read, with just enough twists and turns to make you root for her and Eric. Poor Eric, at least he has an idea of what he's getting into, and bless him, he loves her all the more for it. The book was well written and a very fun read, just be prepared for a heroine that you've never seen before.

This has been such a fun series! I love the reimagination of the princesses that Tara Sivec has brought us. I absolutely love this story. It's funny, it's romantic and it's super sexy too! Everything that I look for in a book.

Kiss the Girl is surprisingly my first Tara Sivec read. This is surprising, because I’m a sucker for romcoms and after reading KtG, I now know this author gives good romcom!

Kiss the Girl not only provides the laughs. It gives us look into the alternative world of a favorite cartoon princess, Ariel. A heroine who is strong and tough all by herself, but she’s been burned and broken by a man in the past. You can imagine the last thing she wants now is a man telling her what to do, or a man at all really. Insert the irritating but gorgeous, Eric when she’s going through a tough time. Somehow this beautiful man knows just how to get under her skin, and how to help her heal her heart without her even realizing it! Their story is funny, a bit angsty, and super steamy at some points.

Add in a cast of side characters that will keep you laughing and on your toes, and you’ve got a great romcom read.

This is the third book in a series, but I don’t feel that you have to read the others to understand this one. This book will spoil those a bit, so if you hate spoilers. I’d dive into those first. Do I plan to go back and read them now that I’ve read KtG? Yes. Yes I do!

The perfect end to what is one of my all time favourite rom com series. So full of Hilarious moments, witty banter and so much over the top rediculousness, this book had me laughing right from the very start. But in amongst the comedy was a story about empowering women and rebuilding self confidence after it has been cruelly stripped away.

I loved Ariel and her take no nonsense attitude, and fell a little more in love with Eric along the way. The cameos from the other Naughty Princesses and the men crazy enough to stand by their side made the book just that much better.

Absolutely loved this book but am sad to see the end of the series!

Ariel and her best friends Cindy and Belle are down in their luck so they start a princess stripping business. Ariel has really hit rock bottom, though, losing her home and antique shop. Luckily Eric rescues her.

This was a fun read. The author cleverly retells the characters stories, and incorporates every character from The Little Mermaid, as well as movie quotes and songs. It was funny and charming. I absolutely loved Eric, they were perfect together. The only thing was Ariel was almost too crazy-sauce for me...and foul mouthed beyond reason.

This is the third story, it stands on it’s own, but the other characters are featured throughout and each princess has her own epilogue at the end of this book.

Recommended for humor and craziness for those who loved The Little Mermaid.
