Oh my what an entertaining series! When I got the ARC for this book, I had to go and find the first 2 in the series so I knew what was going on. I'm glad I did as this is not a stand alone book. I loved the play on the classic fairy tales with everyone's names and laughed out loud at a lot of points in the book. This series is my first books by Tara Sivec and I do think I'll be looking for her other stories!

This review is based on an ARC from NetGalley, courtesy of the publisher. All opinions are my own.

Finally, we’re down to mouthy Ariel’s story. She’s been a hoot since the first book and I’ve always been curious on her backstory. With her sass and attitude, it is a wonder why she’s the last to take on stripping. Now, we finally know the reason why Ariel delayed her turn. We finally understand why she’s acting the way she is. How she’s hiding her pain and insecurities with brazenness. In this book, we get to see Ariel in her softer, vulnerable state. And we also get to see how she eventually gained back her confidence, and how she accepted herself with Eric’s help and support. Both characters are incredibly funny and they are just perfect for each other. I love their banters and it is delightful how Eric deals with Ariel’s snarky attitude. He knew exactly what to tell her when she’s feeling down. He knew what she needed even without her knowing it herself and he’s always there to make sure she gets it. And of course, it is always nice to catch up with our other princesses’ lives. The three of them together are always humorous and their antics never get old. I just love them. And I appreciate how the epilogue, though cheesy, capped off not only Eric and Ariel’s story but also that of Cindy with PJ and Belle with her Beast.

Ariel may appear over the top most of the time and if it weren’t for the fact that I’ve read the other books and thus I am aware of how Ariel is, her attitude might turn me off at some point if not immediately. I may not laugh as hard as on the first two books but I am definitely as entertained. It can be read as a standalone but I still recommend reading the other two books. Overall, a hilarious and entertaining read as always. Great ending to an amazing series.

Kiss The Girl is an hilariously sweet romance that had me smiling from ear to ear. 

We first met Ariel in Book 1 of this series, she’s feisty and has quite the mouth on her and I loved her immediately. If you haven’t read book 1 and 2 I definitely recommend them. This however can be read as a complete standalone. 

Ariel finds herself evicted from her home and Eric steps up and gives her a place to stay. He’s clear with his intentions but Ariel’s reluctant and fights his advances at every turn. 

I loved these two together, he was sweet and said all the right things and she just refused to give into it and it made for a hell of an entertaining read. Tara Sivec’s brand of comedy once again making me laugh my ass off throughout this book. 

Her spin on the classic fairytales with this series are entertaining and completely hilarious. Through is some sweet hero’s and you’ve got yourself a fantastic romantic comedy.

Warnings that should come with this book include:

1. Those who like their romance heroines meek, mild, and sweet-natured need not pick this book up.

2. If you don’t have a healthy appreciated for snark, sarcasm, and cussing, this book is NOT for you.
Anyone who doesn’t have a healthy sense of humor need not apply.

3. Stick-up-butt types who don’t believe in a woman’s right to express her sexuality (sometimes on a stripper pole) will likely be offended by this book.

4. Snort laughing. It will happen.   

If any of these warnings turn you off the book, I say good riddance. For the rest of you…

I loved this book. The humor, the banter between Ariel and Eric, the banter between Ariel and her friends, the snark, the cussing, the sexy times...it was all perfect.

I also really liked the premise. I mean, who wouldn’t love to read a twisted, sexy, adult version of The Little Mermaid in which Ariel is a stripper, is best friends with Cinderella and Belle (also strippers), engages in a super sexy enemies-to-lovers romance with a snarky billionaire named Eric, and has all kinds of hilarious adventures along the way? The originality of it all was so much fun!

I will warn y’all that Ariel takes a little bit of time to warm up to. She’s coarse, rude, outspoken to an alarming degree, and super anti-social. Her demeanor was a little startling to me in the beginning of the book, but if you stick with it, you’ll soon figure out why she is the way she is, and it all makes perfect sense. It didn’t take long before I was rooting for her.

And while it took me some time to warm up to Ariel, Eric, on the other hand, was instantly grade-A book boyfriend material for me. He’s sexy, hilarious, smart, successful, and so supportive of Ariel (emotionally, of course, not financially, aside from offering her a temporary place to stay) that he instantly endeared himself to me.

Other odds and ends:

1. Ariel’s douchenozzle of an ex gets what’s coming to him in a SUPER satisfying way

2. Ariel’s dad is all kinds of awesome

3. The scenes with Ariel and her friends are laugh-out-loud hilarious

4. All the little “shout outs” to The Little Mermaid were clever. It could’ve been cheesy if not handled properly, but the author handled it beautifully

5. I loved how Ariel and her friends embraced and owned their sexuality and their significant others were totally supportive of them, without getting possessive or jealous or otherwise ugly about it      ​

So, in case I haven’t made it clear, this is a unique, fun, sexy, empowering (#girlpower!), hilarious read that I highly recommend. (But, again, if you don’t have a healthy sense of humor and respect for snark, steer clear. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.)

That’s it. That’s what annoys me. He has dimples. Dimples make women stupid, and I refuse to be stupid over a man ever again. 

This definitely isn’t the Disney version of The Little Mermaid!! I think fairytale retellings, or stories inspired by our favorite fairytales, are such fun and Tara Sivec’s rom-com take on the story was simply fantastic! Somehow I missed the first two books in this series and after finishing this one, I’m really kicking myself because I really enjoyed this one. I’m definitely going to have to go back and read them at some point! Some of my favorite rom-coms have come from Tara Sivec and this one is now added to that list. It had my laughing from the first few pages and kept me chuckling all the way through. But it provided more than just laughs! Despite all of Ariel’s hilarious threats toward Eric, there actually ended up being a really sweet romance between them. Now, I don’t know how Eric was portrayed in the prior two books but in this one he was such a sweet guy. Ariel was a hot mess for much of this book and he just took it all in stride and was really great to her. In addition to the laughs and the swoony romance, this was also a story of empowerment and finding your voice. I really loved this aspect and I get the sense that this has been a theme throughout all of the books. I love that Tara Sivec was able to take a light-hearted, sometimes silly, approach to a fairytale re-imagining and still make it a meaningful story. I had a lot of fun reading this book and I am definitely planning on going back to ready Cindy and Belle’s books!!

Just like the first two, Kiss the Girl was a hoot! I think it's my second favorite of the series. Ariel has a lot of sass to her, but she also has a lot more that we got to see throughout the book. She has a soft and emotional side to her as well. I felt really bad for her multiple times during the book. She's had a rough past that makes her second guess herself. She deserves to be happy, respected, and loved. Eric is a great character! He's more than what we got to see in the first two books. He has a really sweet side to him that I loved seeing. He does a lot for Ariel and it is definitely swoon-worthy. He has some smooth lines that's for sure. Their whole relationship is hilarious yet adorable. The storyline had a few twists and turns that I wasn't expecting so that kept it interesting. Kiss the Girl had a whole bunch of Little Mermaid references which I really appreciated and loved. I was very happy that the epilogue included updates from all the characters, it definitely made me smile.

The cover on this book would have me buying it. Than I read the synopsis and UI had to read it. I am so glad I did. I really enjoyed this book. This is the third book in the Naught Princess Club series. The books are standalones as well as this one. I loved these retellings of characters we know and love but in a different light. This book was a really fun read. It has everything a good romance should. It was funny and romantic and sexy. I loved how she portrayed Ariel. I pictured her like an angry rock chick. I think Eric in this story was the perfect person for her. He Loved to give her the feistyness right back. I liked how independent Ariel was and even though Eric was 100% right for her she didn´t give in right away. This book will have you smiling once you are done and in the epilogue it gives you an epilogue for each of the women in this series.

Okay, so I'm warning you right off the bat ..this is not your usual run of the mill story.  And adults only need apply.  The language and often the subject matter is definitely not for the young or faint of heart.  And the names of some of the titles of each chapter probably should be rates R. 

I wasn't even sure I LIKED one of the M.C.'s at first.  That would be Ariel, just to be clear.  She was one angry chick.  I'm not sure exactly how she managed to do it, but even in the midst of a mouthy melt down, she was often hilarious.  I will say after seeing some of what life has dealt her, she has plenty of reasons to be angry.
But Ariel has two really good reasons to be happy when it comes to friends.  Her friends, co-owners and workers of their business always have her back.  Belle and Cynthia each have their own stories about how life and men has messed them up but we only get glimpses of it in this book.  Why? Because they are happy now and you can read about there life before this in their own books.  Ariel comes across as harsh, rude, hard and littered with the F bomb, but they see beyond just the surface and see the tender-hearted woman who is just trying to protect herself. 
Enter in Eric, a gorgeous guy who gets two words from Ariel when they first meet.  F*** off.  Hmm, doesn't sound encouraging does it?  But the more she tries to tick him off, the bigger his smile gets.  And some of his suggestive language to her.  Doesn't make him sound like a good guy does it?  But he likes getting her riled, he really likes her kick butt take no prisoners attitude.  And he doesn't like it when her ex shows up trying to take that self confidence away from her.  As you read the story, you begin to see that Eric actually does understand her better than just about anyone even her best friends.  And it didn't take me long to like him.  Not that she wants any man's help, men have been the bane of her life (her ex especially) She wants to get things done herself.  One man who was a good guy other than Eric, was her father who was hilarious in the short times he showed up.  In fact there was plenty of humor sprinkled throughout the book too. 

There will be problems that will have to be overcome other than just Ariel's self esteem issues.  There is also a few other sneaky things going on too.  BUT, there will be a H.E.A.  with a Epilogue for each one of the ladies that should bring a smile to the readers face.  

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the cover of this eBook.   It's so vibrant.  
I gave it 3.5 STARS in the title for Amazon

I have loved this story, and as excited as I was to read the final book, I was also a little sad to say goodbye to the Naughty Princess Club.  This series was so smart and funny; I loved how Tara Sivec weaved elements from the fairy tales we all know and love into each book lending an air of familiarity to some adorable romance novels.

Kiss the Girl was so much fun.  Even while Ariel was experiencing some of the most difficult and trying moments in her life, Eric added levity to the scenes to keep them from being overwhelming – both to Ariel and to the readers.  They had such a fun dynamic, both giving as well as they got without pushing the limit between teasing into just being mean.  I had loved their back and forth in the previous two books, and it was even better in this one.

Hands down the best part of this book was Ariel’s growth arc.  For all her bluster, she was quite broken on the inside.  I loved how her friends and Eric carefully helped her to discover her strength and self-confidence.  It was wonderful to see the person she was on the inside grow to match the smart-mouthed, tough, confident woman she projected on the outside.

Kiss the Girl is the third and final book in Tara Sivec’s Naughty Princess Club series.  These books are interconnected standalones and can be enjoyed independently.  The threads of their friendship and shared business ties all the books together and, of course, reading all the books in order will give you the most comprehensive reading experience, but you won’t be lost if you only read one.  Kiss the Girl is narrated in first-person perspective by Ariel.

Tara Sivec is a heavy hitter in the romance community.  She writes romcoms and heavy, emotional books with equal skill.  While I’ve always been a huge fan of her more serious work, I’m happy to have tried these lighter books because it gave me a greater understanding of her skill.

3.5*

Kiss the Girl and I didn't get off to the best of starts- I was ready to throw the towel in at 7%, and had to step away for awhile. Even after I picked up again I started debating on just calling it quits. Ariel wasn't just rubbing me the wrong way, she was rubbing me upside down and backwards. From the first moment I met her I didn't like her. I had to double check that this book was in fact told from her pov because I swear I thought I was reading a story told by an ahole alpha male. She was that abrasive and quite frankly, obnoxious. I mean, I can be obnoxious and abrasive with the best of them, but this girl took it to the limits. But at some point, okay at one certain point, Eric pulled me in, hook, line and sinker, and I'm glad I continued on. 

Ariel is quite an interesting character. Liked I said, she’s abrasive, obnoxious, she’s rude, has a horribly foul mouth, and at times I felt she was just TSTL. I never thought I’d use that acronym, but if the shoe fits… The best thing to happen to Ariel was Eric. He was quite honestly perfect. But not in that unbelievable or untouchable kind of perfect. Just completely charming and adorable and sweet as can be. He was able to see past Ariel’s bluster and bravado, to the person she kept hidden behind the facade she created for herself. Thanks to him I was able to see past a lot of what turned me off from her in the beginning.
While it was hard to let go of my initial feelings for this book, in the end I did find myself enjoying the story, even laughing out loud at certain points. For all her faults, Ariel is a great friend, has the best of intentions, and I’m glad she got her happily ever after.

I haven’t read the previous 2 books in this trilogy and although there was a time or 2 I could have probably used a little more back story, I really didn’t feel like I was missing out on much. I think Ms. Sivec did a good job of letting Ariel’s story stand on its own.

Awesome!  This was funny and sweet and so much fun to read!  I love the little mermaid and this was such a cute romance!  The characters are unique and enjoyable.  Full of witty banter and also very sexy.  I couldn't ask for a better read!  Definitely try this!

Kiss The Girl was a fun and sweet read, full of sass and sexy. It’s the third book in a series, but all can be read as standalones. I hadn't read the first two books, but I was still able to enjoy this book. It was fabulously entertaining, a modern day retelling of a classic fairytale and an all-time favourite Disney movie. It felt familiar without being too similar. An easy read that leaves you full to the brim with that feel good factor. Loved it!

After finishing this I can not believe that this is my first Tara Sivec book. I read this book in one sitting – it had everything I like in a romance; quick to read, hot and steamy, funny, a modern fairytale…what more could you ask for. 

Ariel and Eric were a fun couple to get to know. I loved how strong (and a bit crazy) Ariel was. I loved that Eric wanted nothing more than too make her his. I had my doubts at the beginning of their relationship but he managed to make her actually see him and let herself started falling in love. The progression of their relationship was a beautiful thing to read. I need to find time and I need to find it fast so I can read the first two books because if this is any indication I’m missing out.

I’m still laughing. I have to admit that Little Mermaid is one of my all-time favorite Disney movies and I love how Tara Sivec took this fairytale and spun it on its head to craft a sexy, fun romance. Ariel is a spit fire but found herself in a relationship that shot her confidence. Of course, her vocal filter didn’t get stopped, you just never know what she will say next. As she is trying to rebuild her life, she finds it crashing down around her and the most unlikely person steps in to help her. Eric, he has bee captivated by her from the first words she said to him, which I can’t repeat here. But Ariel is afraid to trust but Eric is smart, he slyly works to rebuild this amazing woman’s confidence. Will Ariel let her walls down and really let Eric in? At the same time, we get to experience this amazing friendship between Cindy, Belle and Ariel as the build the Naughty Princess Club business. Really just a fabulously funny, sexy and completely unexpected romance. I want to be the princess’s friend. I voluntarily read an ARC of this book and this is my honest review.

This is my favorite so far in the series. I love how sassy, strong and fierce Ariel is. She fights for what she wants and to hell with those that stand in her way, which includes the prince of hotness. This is a light hearted read that will having you laughing throughout the book. The banter alone is worth every second. Ariel has a mouth on her that would make a sailor cringe (pun intended). All joking aside you get to see this character go through some life changing crap that make her realize what is really important. This is one series you don’t want to miss so I suggest you pickup a copy of this twist on the little mermaid and enjoy.

So The Little Mermaid is one of my favorite Disney movies.  When I saw this book title and read the blurb, I knew I had to try it out.  While this is NOTHING like that, it made it fun having that sort of twist on things.  I haven't read the other two books in the series but it wasn't hard for me to follow along.  This book was laugh-out-loud funny at times, but Ariel is a bit rude.  I get that she wasn't hearts and rainbows, but at times it was hard to overlook her attitude.  She was rude to her friends and not in a funny, joking way.  Granted, her friends took it in stride because it was just how she was. I did enjoy the way Eric pursued her.  As Ariel's life is falling down around her, her friends and Eric pull around her to support her and show her they care.  For me, I feel like Ariel's attitude was hard to look away from and made it hard for me to love this book.  Overall, it was a cute story and I would be interested in reading the other books in the series.

This was a good book. It brought me back to the Seduction and snacks books. This book will have you laughing out loud in places. 

Ariel is a feisty, spit fire. She knows what she wants and she goes for it. She’s got a lot going on in her life and she needs to figure out what is more important to her. Or can she have it all? 

I love Eric. I love everything he does for Ariel even when she gives him attitude. He wants her so much that he’s willing to do whatever just for a piece of her time. Can he show her he’s the real deal? 

This book was really good. I haven’t read the other books in the series but I’m going to. I love the chemistry and comedy in the books!

KISS THE GIRL is one of the most fun, romantic, sweet and crazy books that I've read in my life, and I loved that! With this series Tara Sivec has proved that romance novels can be empowering, that friendship can be found in the most unexpected ways and love always finds its way. 

The Naughty Princess Club series has been an amazing ride for me as a reader, and this last installment was the cherry on top of a wonderful work. Sexy, sweet, funny but with a strong message about self esteem, women supporting women (not trash talking them or tearing them down), and taking chances to pursue their dreams together as friends and family. 

Besides all the laughter and the resemblance to the classic fairy tale, Tara Sivec built an epic love story between Ariel and Eric. There was a strong pull between them from the beginning of the series, growing stronger with each book, and finally was set free in KISS THE GIRL. And you know what? these two are amazing together!

This isn't your regular romance. This is a love story reaching new levels of awesomeness, and can't wait for you to read it.

Btw >>> #TeamPrinceHotStuff #ArielIsMySpiritAnimal

This series is so amazing! I have loved all three stories, but I think Ariel and Eric's was my most anticipated - and it did not disappoint! So many laughs along this beautiful journey - it truly was perfect! The Naughty Princess Club series is one of my all time favorites! FIVE STARS!

3.5/5 STARS

Belle and Vincent were my favorite couple, until Kiss The Girl

I book One, I just knew I was going to love sassy and mouthy Ariel, and her cocky Eric.

So diving into Ariel’s background and past was really great.
Again, Tarva Sivec delivered a great Romcom.

Each couple in the series haver their own chemistry, but in this book, I loved Ariel’s character, strong yet fragile, and Eric’s, sexy, all alpha yet patient and kind (and his cat too lol…)

Another Romcom with the perfect mix: funny, even hilarious, steamy, angsty...
I really needed a more lighter” story between several darker books this summer, and I’m really glad I grabbed this book.

So, want to have some fun? Pick up this book and enjoy Ariel’s mouth and her banter with Eric.

Or better yet: grab the whole series!
