The book is laugh out loud, snort so hard you hurt yourself funny. Literally sitting at work trying not to chortle while reading this was one of the toughest things I have ever had to do. It took me about a chapter to really warm up to Ariel, cause she was just obnoxious as all get out. She is loud, crass, and really doesn't give a hoot who likes it. The friggin by play between her and Eric kept me laughing so hard. It was hysterical with a side of steamy times. This was such an original story and I loved every second of this book. This is told in Ariel's pov.

This is book 3 in the Naughty Princess Series. This is actually my first read in the series and by Tara for that matter but I plan on going back and reading the first 2 in the series. I was still able to follow along without reading the other 2 first. This book kept me entertained from beginning to end.
In this book Tara puts a modern day spin on The Little Mermaid. Love the chemistry between Ariel and Eric! It’s a little vulgar, a little sweet and a whole lot sexy...and let’s not forget hilarious! Look forward to reading Cindy’s and Belle’s stories!

I loved Ariel and Eric’s story so much! It’s LOL funny, snarky, sassy, sexy and fun. I don’t normally read these “remakes” of classic fairytales, but I absolutely love everything Tara has written and knew she wouldn’t disappoint. And I was right. I’m sad to see this set come to an end.

I'm still sitting here with a huge smile on my face. Thank you Mrs. Sivec for this great story!
Ariel and Eric will have you laughing out loud at their antics and banter. And we can't forget Derrick Alfredo....
I absolutely loved Ariel's spunk, she is an absolute spitfire and I want to be her friend. Like I really related to all of her feelings and insecurities and wanted to throat punch that douche ex husband of hers too.

If you enjoy laugh out loud stories with relatable characters, and overall great writing, pick up this book as well as the other 2 in the series about Belle and Cindy. You won't regret it!

I really liked this book! Sometimes I don't care for the macho man thing, but Sivec really went home on feminist issues. I'm really happy that she did such a good job making me support these men and women because they were all so respectful of each other. I loved the fairytale aspect of the story. It was hilarious seeing all of the parallels between stories. Eric was amazing and I really liked him. Ariel was kind of annoying, but I got to hand it to her, she's badass. There were a few things that confused me. For example, Eric said Ariel's last name was Waters at some point but at the end he says he'll take her last name "Triton" if they get married. It's just a bit confusing for me. Definitely needs some more editing. All in all, I liked the book. One of the first romance books I could finish in a long time.

I had a hard time relating to the lead characters in this book. This book is the third installation in the Naughty Princess Club series and is billed as a standalone. I did not read the first two books and I felt like I was missing the beginning part of Ariel & Eric's story. I found Ariel's character to be a immature mean girl that cussed constantly and whom behavior could not be easily explained by the verbal abuse she suffered from her poor excuse of an ex husband.

Others have compared this series to the Disney princesses with this book being fashioned after the Little Mermaid, a story I am also not familiar with. That being say I might have enjoyed this book more with a better understanding of the whole series and the story it was based on.

Kiss the Girl by Tara Sivec

This book was a LOT of fun and I think it may be my favorite of the series! Kiss the Girl is the third book in the Naughty Princess series and I guess you can read it as a standalone, but why would you? You really should read them all to get the full story of these down-on-their-luck stripper princesses.

This is the story of Ariel who has met her Eric and cannot stand even the mere sight of him. She is so damn badass and takes no shit that I’ve decided I want to be her when I grow up. Loved her. Her only shortcoming is that thanks to an emotionally abusive past relationship, she has zero confidence in herself and how she looks. When she’s evicted from her home, Prince Eric comes to the rescue and carries her away to his humble abode/boat where they live happily ever after... wait no. Wrong story. Eric does indeed drag her kicking and screaming and gives her a home on one of his boats till she sorts herself out. Of course, no relationship is without drama and these two deal with their fair share.

I so enjoyed this book. Eric had the patience of a saint and knew exactly how to help Ariel see her worth without driving her to homicide. His and Ariel’s relationship had been a long time coming and it was fun and explosive and just perfect for them. Anything less and it wouldn’t have been true to the characters, particularly Ariel. I love how Sivec throws in the Disney references and I loved Mr Triton.

I think this is the end of the series (although I hope I’m wrong) and I think Sivec did a great job with all of the books. Absolutely recommend these if you love RomComs.

This book is s breezy and humorous retelling of the Disney version of The Little Mermaid. Much like the two previous oops in the series, the contemporary heroine has modern problems that are consistent with the
Disney Ariel's struggles. Unlike the Disney Ariel, this one is an unfiltered, fairly foul mouthed, strong woman. She and her friends, Belle and Cindy from the previous books, have become successful entrepreneurs. Nevertheless. Ariel still has to overcome obstacles to “find her voice” and find true love.
The author is clever in creating a modern story from this classic, and fans of the first two books will surely enjoy this one. Reading choices are personal, and something you like one day may not be appealing the next. While I know many will really love this book, and it is certainly well done, I just didn’t care for it. I do love a strong and assertive heroine, but in this story Ariel was mostly just obnoxious. Her friends and her boyfriend overlook her rudeness because the understand her issues. I’m not sure I’m quite so charitable. Eric, her boyfriend who is a prince of a fellow, is completely perfect. In fact, he is so perfectly one dimensional he would probably be invisible if he turned sideways. The secondary characters,,Ursula and Triton, are predictable but add color to the story,
While this book just didn’t do it for me, it is one that I am sure many will love. There is a lot to love about it, and if I read it again next month I may feel differently.

I. Loved. This. Book. It was so good, and the main characters just grabbed me and held one, right until the very end. I loved watching Ariel claim her inner goddess, and Eric just did everything right to make sure she got there.

Fantastic end to the series. I’m sad to be done!

Kiss the Girl is one crazy good read. That is full of humour and charm. As well as being sweet, sexy, entertaining and absorbing. And I loved all the characters, especially the lead two Ariel and Eric. Whose romance was so captivating and full of snark. Thanks mainly to Ariel, who for all her sass and attitude is struggling to believe she is beautiful and worthy thanks to her douchebag dick (Eric's words) Of an ex and I adored how Eric, along with her two best friends Cindy and Belle proved how wrong she was. With sometimes hilarious consequences. Which not only made this story extremely hard to put down, but also extremely relatable and believable too.

As for the epilogue, I loved how it not only rounded off Ariel and Eric's story, but Belle and her beasts, and Cindy and her Prince Charming. And I would definitely recommend this story and series to others. As it is one of the most fresh and funniest I've read in a very long time.

Kiss the Girl was such a fun read! I enjoyed this immensely! Prior to reading this, I hadn't read the first two books in the series but that in no way detracted from the story. I was obviously curious about how Ariel, Cindy and Belle became friends but I was okay with the little tidbits of information thrown in regarding how their business - and friendship - came to be.
Having immediately bought At the Stroke of Midnight and In Bed with the Beast after finishing this, I would highly suggest reading these books in order so you don't feel like you're missing anything crucial - i.e. how Cindy and Belle found their Happily Ever Afters.

I love Ariel's character. She has absolutely no filter and is not afraid to speak her mind - which I loved because almost everything that comes out of her mouth is rude, foul and downright hilarious.
Despite her attitude, Ariel is incredibly loyal. She may appear to be the most confident of the three women but looks can be deceiving. There's no question she is strong but just like Cindy and Belle she has her own past to overcome in order to reach her full potential.
Now on to Eric. I ADORED him. He's perfect for Ariel and the sexual tension between the two of them is off the charts. Despite her initial dislike of him, Eric is the only one who knows exactly what she needs the day her world falls apart around her and he proves to be exactly what she needs to face her fears head on.

What I love most about this series is that while Cindy, Belle and Ariel have all hit rock bottom they refuse to let their pasts define their futures. Despite all they've been through, they manage to not only build strong relationships with the most unlikely people but they've created a business that takes each of them out of their comfort zones. And they're thriving because of it.

This is such a fun series! If you're looking for sexy, hilarious, quick reads I'd highly suggesting giving these books a try.

Man I hate that this is the last book in the series! I had so much fun with these princesses and I absolutely do not want to give them up. The shenanigans that they are always up to will have you laughing out loud. My goodness they were always into something! I knew going in to this book that Eric and Ariel’s relationship was going to be epic. With Ariel being such a stubborn hard ass Eric did not let that deter him from her. In fact he loved her brand of feisty and sassy. He literally would piss her off to make her come out of these funks that she would get in. I loved that he knew her that well. If she was getting down he knew the right way to piss her off to pull her back up.

I don’t want to give too much away but my favorite scene is when Ariel stands up to her ex! She’s got a mean right hook. There were some other issues going on in the book as well. We have a Naughty Princess Club business license issue and that’s where we meet Ursula. You know with a name like that I’m pretty sure you can deduce that she is going to be a problem. I had a feeling of who she was after the bust incident. Oh yea and you cannot forget Derrick Alfredo, the cat that looks like his skin was turned inside out!! Where in the hell does Sivec come up with this stuff?!
Oh and Ariel’s dad, now he’s something else! I would love to see Tara write a story on the Dads. I don’t know who cracked me up more…Ariel or Belle’s dad.

The epilogue pretty much wrapped up the series with a nice pretty bow on top!

Good grief, I have got a serious girl-crush on this book, this series, and this author. I enjoyed the first two books a lot, but this one, it tops them all. I laughed so hard I had tears streaming down my face. Ariel is my absolute favorite kind of character--strong and snarky. She is a princess who can save her own damn self, thank you very much. But it certainly doesn't hurt to have the help of a smokin' hot alpha-dude with a sweet spot for her particular brand of sass, and that's exactly what she gets with Eric. I had so much fun reading this book that the second I was done, I started again. This book is without a doubt one of my favorite reads of the year.

A sincere thank you to NetGalley and St Martin's Press for providing an ARC for review.

A really funny and cute read.

I really liked the references to Disney's Little Mermaid, as this is one of my favorites of the Disney Princesses.

I love Ariel she is so interesting and super sassy. I love her attitude.

Eric is beyond beautiful and funny and I love his gorgeous words.

As a couple - Explosive they really are super well suited.

The whole the series is really worth the read and one after the other is definitely the way to go. The laughs are a plenty and the characters a hoot and a half. I loved the epilogues just enjoyed the tying up of some little loose ends that just gave more to the series as a whole.

All up great series would love more if there is ever the opportunity.

I recieved an arc of this book in exchange of an honest review. This is the third book in the Naughty Princess Club, but can be read as a standalone. Before this book I had not read the first two books of the series. Tara did a good job filling in what I think were important parts of the other two books. This book follows Ariel and Eric in their budding romance. I was initially taken aback by the way Cindy, Belle and Ariel spoke and acted, (I think I was expecting them to be sweet and innocent for some reason?) but soon ended up enjoying their shenanigans. Ariel and Eric's relationship was a slow burn that leaves you feeling satisfied at the end. It was also nice to see Ariel find her voice and become a confident woman. I think I might go back and read Belle's story.

Kiss the Girl by Tara Sivec was a sexy and laugh-out-loud funny story that I absolutely loved. Ariel and Eric's story was full of emotion and hilarious banter.

Sivec did a great job with both Ariel and Eric's characters. I lost count of how many times I burst out laughing at the things that came out of Ariel's mouth. She was so foul-mouthed and sassy, yet lovable at the same time. Once her past was exposed, the reader is given a clear understanding of her personality and what drives her. Eric was surprisingly sweet and so thoughtful and understanding. The way he was with Ariel was so endearing. The two of them were perfect together, but their journey was not without conflict. The author wove a great storyline that really made me believe in their relationship and the feelings that developed between them.

Kiss the Girl was a thoroughly enjoyable story. The writing was great and the plot flowed smoothly. The humorous elements were perfectly balanced with the emotional ones, I am a huge fan of this series and while each book was unique in its own way, I have to say that this one was my favorite. I look forward to reading more of Sivec's work in the future.

Unfortunately this just wasn’t the book for me. I just couldn’t get into it and I didn’t like the MC. I thought she was way too over the top.

I absolutely LOVED this whole series, but I think that this installment was my absolute favorite! I could honestly relate alot to Ariel and what she went thru with her ex husband. Eric was just adorable in every aspect i adored him the whole story and kept me completely interested and hooked til the very end... I wish there was more but I can't wait to see what she's got next!

This is a unique and fun contemporary romance. I truly enjoyed so much about this book, including the Little Mermaid and princess tie in. I loved the friendship between modern era Ariel, Belle, and Cinderella counterparts. I found this to be a fast moving and quick to read story. Although this is the third and final book of The Naughty Princess Club series, my experience is that this can be read as a standalone as I have not yet read the first two books and was able to fall right into the storyline.

As much as there was that I enjoyed, I did greatly dislike Ariel's constant foul language. I found it jarring and distasteful, and it tended to take me out of the story. I think it was used to characterize her as a young woman who had a tough exterior, but it didn't work for me. This may not be an issue for other readers, but it did impact my rating and enjoyment.

Another thing I enjoyed about this book was the creative way that the Little Mermaid characters and storyline were echoed. This wasn't a strict retelling, but there are plenty of cute and recognizable nods to the famous animated movie. It was also fun that while there was so much to recognize about the fairy tale, the main character, Ariel, mentions that her name is the same as "the" princess, so the reader sees the parallels while the characters may or may not. As could be inferred from the "naughty princess" title, there are some fairly explicit scenes and conversations.

Other than a warning for the foul language, I recommend this for mature readers who are willing to suspend disbelief and go along for a unique experience.

I voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book (given by Netgalley)...

We finally have the story of Ariel and Eric and I have to say I wasn’t disappointed. Ariel is still her crazy self but now we learn the truth about her marriage. Now as for Eric, there are truly no words to describe how awesome and swoon-worthy Eric is and I loved him so much. The way he completely understood what Ariel needed and wanted was so sweet. I wanted more Ariel, Eric and definitely more Derrick Alfredo, it was all so entertaining. But it was definitely not smooth sailing for our couple especially with the unexpected arrivals of exes and meddling mamas.

I was so sad when it ended! I wanted more but I did love the epilogues that showed us the future of our Naughty Princesses.
