"Thank you Netgalley and the publisher for the advance copy of this book, in exchange for an honest review."

First of all, let me say I have enjoyed reading ALL of the 'Naughty Princess Club' books, but with saying that, I'm also sad this series is ending because I have fallen in love with all 3 of the girls. Ariel took a special place in my heart because she was so tough, from the beginning. I have loved reading her story, but I don't want to give anything away. All I will say is, you MUST read this book! I LOVE the couple Ariel and Eric make!

My first read by this author. It's billed as a standalone but I really think this would be much more enjoyable if you read the first two books. While the couples from the previous two books relationships/how they got together were explained, I immediately felt like I was missing part of Ariel and Eric's initial meeting and why she felt the way she did about him. I would recommend reading the first two books to fully enjoy this one.

I liked the writing and think I would have thoroughly enjoyed this if it were not for Ariel. We're introduced to her in the middle of an interview for a new roommate. The phone conversation she had in front of the potential roommate was ridiculous. The things she was saying! If I was the person sitting across the table from her I'd get the hell out of there. No reasonable person would stay. I thought her over the top personality only made worse by sooooo much swearing (and as my mom used to say I have a potty mouth so a prude I am not) was just too much and it didn't mellow out as the story went on. Her interactions with the police and the foreclosure was ridiculous. Like a grown woman attached herself to a porch pillar and yelled "Gattica" (when she meant Attica) at the cops all while telling them that she saw the THREE OTHER NOTICES warning her of the pending foreclosure but threw them away without reading them. What? She said horrible things to people and treated her friends and Eric like crap. There may have been abuse in her previous relationship, and I get where the author was coming from, but that does not give her the right to act and treat people like that.

Did I think this was well written? Yes! Would I try again with another of her books? Absolutely.

Oh my gosh this book is absolutely everything! I was really excited to read Ariel’s book. Reading about her through the series made me desperate for more. Her interactions with Eric are positively hilarious. My heart broke for her as she continued to struggle. Her dreams broken as she tried to make it through the day. Eric was always there ready to save the day no matter how many lashes he would suffer from her wicked tongue. Tara Sivec’s characters will touch your heart with a little bit of fantasy tossed in. This series is an absolute must read.

What a fun love story!!!


"The writing is flawless, and the words are so captivating, the plot had so many twists and turns and none that I was expecting, and many shocking moments."

Well let me start by saying I have become a huge fan of this author. She writes with so much intensity and emotion pulled from each book it’s felt page after page. Some are quick witted story lines are so perfect and lets you believe you have a front row seat. So being able to read this love story didn’t disappoint. The authors ability to have two separate individuals struggling in their everyday life and try to navigate someone else’s thoughts, needs and desires was intense and gives all the fills.

I absolutely adored Eric and Ariel! They had this tumultuous and antagonistic relationship that was snarky, fun and sweet. I loved their bickering and Ariel’s comebacks. I loved their chemistry and simmering sexual tension. Ariel was so much more than I thought she'd be and I loved getting to know her. She's a bit mouthy and feisty but I loved seeing her softer side, it was awesome. Eric had to be the sweetest man ever, totally swoon worthy! Being there for Ariel as she worked things out, as she found her way to the strong woman she was meant to be. Their relationship was was sweet and sexy and explosive but it was also heartfelt and emotional.

Ariel, Cindy, and Belle. I loved them, their friendships, how they're their for each other and build each other up. There were so many empowering moments and I had this I am woman hear me roar feeling happening. It was so much more than a love story. It's about friendships, owning who you are and believing in yourself, being strong, people in, and surrounding yourself with goodness.

I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

This book has everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. This story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks Netgally for letting me read and review.📚💕

This whole series has been hilarious, I think that this one is the best though. If you love humor with your romance then, Kiss the Girl, is a must add to your collection.

I think a lot of people will love this book however I didn't. It's a really raunchy re-telling of Little Mermaid. The writing is good and the characters are fun. I just wasn't into raunchy princesses. Theres nothing wrong with this book at ALL but it's just not for me.

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.
