Ariel Water’s phone rang for the 7th time in the coffee shop as she sat across from Natalie.  By then, she told her to go ahead and answer it.  Ariel then told Cindy to TEXT like a normal person and stop the phone calls!  Cindy and her 14-year-old daughter were moving out of their apartment to live with her boyfriend.  So Ariel needed a new roommate to share the rent.  Things had been going well with Natalie until all the stressful phone calls!  Ariel, Cindy, and Belle had started their own business called the Naughty Princess Club consisting of strippers who made house calls.  All was perfect until the other two fell in love and ruined everything.

When things don’t come together in a timely manner, Ariel is evicted from her home and property by the court.  Her ex-husband has taken away her self-esteem and bled her dry with alimony payments.  She has nowhere to turn until Eric Sailor comes to her rescue.  Not wanting any involvement or relationship with men, she automatically dislikes the millionaire playboy.  But his generosity, kindness, and unconditional support offered to her could just be what opens her eyes.  Will she give him a chance to heal her brokenness and let her trust again?  Could they find a life together?

Aside from the cursing that continuously flows from Ariel, the story is funny and a good read.  It moves along quickly and keeps the reader’s attention.  I was so delighted when it was pointed out that this 3-book series was a retelling of Cinderella, Beauty, and Ariel fairy tales.  The tales are very different from what you may remember, but the loving and caring relationships among the ladies and their special men is wonderful!   I completely enjoyed Ariel’s story in “Kiss the Girl” and highly recommend the entire series.  You won’t regret reading these!

The last of the three princesses needs to get her groove back and Eric is just the man to make it happen. Ariel is having a run of bad luck so to speak  ..  business .. house .. divorce ?? Or not ?? When she finds herself homeless Cindy and Belle have a master plan and it includes a boat and guy and a hairless cat ..

When Ariel needs to keep the business on track while the rest of her life is falling apart she’s finds herself behind in filing city paperwork and the one person that can help her she won’t let him help. 

From day one Eric knew Ariel was the one for him .. I believe Ariel felt it too but she can’t or won’t let him in .. Can he convince her that she is the one ?? The boat / yacht house .. goat yoga .. pantry full of food ..Prince Hot Pants .. Yes he is the one !!

Sometimes the past can’t stay the past and maybe that is a good thing in Ariel’s case because  when Sebastian shows back up he has some news that can change things around for her !! 

I loved these two .. there arguing made me laugh, cry and maybe scream .. get together already !! 

Naughty Princess Rule !!

Cute, funny and sexy read.  My first Naughty Princess Club book and I can’t wait to go read the first two in the series.  Loved how feisty Ariel was. 

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC received via NetGalley.

I am just loving this series and am very sad that this is the last book but we finally get Ariel Waters' story.

Ariel has helped her two best friends become the strong, independent woman that they wanted to be but is having a harder time fixing herself. She can't shake the image that her ex-husband drilled into her head that she is too fat. Ariel is also struggling to make it on her own and bills are pilling up. When she ends up losing her house and all her precious antiques inside of it, who comes to her rescue....Eric Sailor....the sexy, millionaire playboy! Eric has been attracted to Ariel since the first day he ever saw her and figures this is now his chance! Eric gives Ariel what she has always longed for....unconditional love and unconditional support. He loves her curves and her sassy mouth but he knows that Ariel has to love herself before they can have any type of relationship.

Just when it looks like Ariel and Eric are going to get their happy ever after....outside forces try to stop it from happening. Too bad for those outside forces because princess fairy tales always end with a happy ending!

I just loved Ariel and Eric. Ariel is a foul mouthed, take no prisoner type woman, except when it came to herself. Eric was just perfect. Always said and did the right things. And then there is Derrick Alfredo! OMG this cat needs his own book! I'd love to hear his thoughts! Overall, I just adored this book! I love all the fun, subtle references to the real princess stories. Read this entire series....you will not be disappointed!

I didn't read the first two books in the series, but I have to say I was not lost. Kiss the Girl is Eric and Ariel's story, and yes there is an evil Ursula. This had me laughing out loud. Ariel is hilarious. I like it so much that I am going back to read the first two books. ARC provided by Netgalley and the publisher.

Kiss the Girl is the hilarious conclusion to the Naughty Princess Club series.  It was the perfect wrap up for the series.  Outwardly Ariel Waters is a ball buster.  Under all that bravado is a woman who struggles with insecurities that run deep.  Eric Sailor seems to be the only person that sees past all her bluster and sees to the core of her.  That scares Ariel more than anything.  When Ariel's world is turned upside down Eric is the one that comes to her rescue.  Will Ariel's history keep them apart or will she take the chance to claim the love she so clearly sees in Eric's eyes.

This is a wonderful, fun read that I think everyone will enjoy.  I highly recommend it.

This one took me a little longer to get into than the first two in the Naughty Princess Club but once I got going I read this in one sitting! Ariel is the last of the three friends to get her happily ever after but she gets there in the end... with some entertaining side trips - GOGA (goat yoga) an evil Sebastian (not a friendly crustacean) and of course the baddy from The Little Mermaid (well the Disney version anyway) the sea-witch/mother-in-law to be Ursula!

A fitting conclusion to what has been an entertaining trilogy

This is the third book in this series, centered around the most cantankerous and unlikely “princess” Ariel. 
Tara Sivec always entertains with her characters and Ariel is no exception. She seemed, from the earlier books to be the most self confident ball busting princess. But inside she was a toiling mass of contradictions. She is surly and foul mouthed and while at times,, she made me laugh out loud, she also got on my nerves.  It seemed as if she was caricature of the snarly, self-confident, best friend  friend/ sidekick . She was at times so socially inappropriate, i wondered why anyone would choose to be in any kind of relationship with her . Eric, the male lead in this story was a little hard to get to know. I wished we had a dual POV just for that reason. Ariel eventually chilled out, and revealed her softer underbelly, but I wasn’t wild about this story. 
Plus, can someone please bring all romance writers into this century with what we the reader expect our female characters to have in terms of sexual experience?
I’m giving this one 3 stars because it was written well and it did make me laugh.

Kiss the Girl is the third and final book in Tara Sivec's The Naughty Princess Club and OMG I love this series! These books are hilarious, sexy, fun, and so entertaining! Each book just gets better and better, and this is my favorite one. 

Ariel is the feisty, spunky, and outrageous princess of the bunch. She is so much more than what she seems. Sure, she is a hoot, but she is also a woman who is hurting on the inside. Eric is seriously the PERFECT guy for Ariel. He’s been after her from the first moment he met her. What I loved most about Eric is that he lets Ariel be herself and loves her for it. He wants to bring the best out in her, not change her. What a man! 

Another great thing about these books is that they are not just stories of romance. They are stories about strong and independent women who work on fixing themselves and just happen to find love along the way. 

If you love romantic comedies that focus on friendship, and comradely, these are the books for you! They are loads of fun and the perfect funny reads with lots of heart!

I DNF this book. I know it was meant to be romantic comedy but it was OTT for me. The writing was good but I could't get past 20% with Ariel screeching and cussing every 5 seconds about something. I don't know how anyone was supposed to relate to her. I am assuming as the book goes on Eric breaks through her defenses but 20% was not enough to get me to like her even a little bit so I was out.

Received from NetGalley for review. 

Four out of five stars. 

This was the first book I read in the series and I’m now in the process of buying the others. This is the third to come out and I don’t know how I missed the other two. 

This is about Ariel who is struggling to make ends meet because of her ex-husband. She has to pay the deadbeat alimony. He gets his in the end but anyway, she losses her house and there is nowhere to turn. Each of her friends have found their men and doesn’t want to intrude. A hunky sailor with the last name sailor helps her out. He has the hots for Ariel and she fights him at every turn. This book was, like all of Tara’s rom-coms, funny! 

There is quite a twist with this one. I wasn’t expecting that to fall but enjoyed the ending. 

I would definitely give this book a try, even if you haven’t read the others.

It’s not just stripping, it’s business…

I started this series a little squinty-eyed at the women in The Naughty Princess Club for their choice to become strippers. Yes, huge judgemental cow that I am, I was worried that their love interest didn’t mind that they took their clothes off for other men. What Tara Sivec manages, in a very convincing way, is to make these women powerful for choosing their business and taking control. This control is both mental and physical. These women feel stronger for setting their path, taking control of the journey, and taking control of their financial well-being.

In Kiss the Girl we finally get to the feisty Ariel and the every tolerant, Eric. To be honest, I wasn’t that impressed when I started reading. I was worried that I had set too high an expectation that Ariel was going to be this confident woman who was totally in control. Yep, you guessed it, she’s human, flaws and all. I was also a little concerned that Eric seemed to love Ariel who absolutely hated him. It seemed like he had a screw loose. What could he possibly see in someone who swore and sneered at him on a regular basis?

Once the pieces fall into place we start to understand where Ariel has been and what has shaped her choices and how she came to be financially ruined. By the end, I got exactly what I was hoping for. Ariel regained her confidence, was again out-spoken, feisty and completely in control. Eric, well he was just plain dreamy. I loved that he understood Ariel, wanted her from their first meeting and set a game plan to Kiss the Girl.

It’s a funny thing, in each instalment of this series, I meet the heroine and convince myself there’s no way I’m going to love this story. The females seem weak and silly, gullible and lacking in common sense. Well, Tara Sivec writes magic very convincingly. She pulls out her magic wand, and with a bibbidi-bobbidi-boo, I’m seeing a strong, intelligent and confident and savvy woman. Magic, I tell you. Each of these women grows so much throughout their story and through the whole series. Not just because they found the men in their lives. These women’s lives are enhanced because of their man. Their success was of their own making.

I absolutely LOVED the connection between each story and a fairytale. I felt like such a goose for not identifying each one as it arises and only realising after reading that thing over and over and over again. I’m not going to tell you them, but I wonder if you’ll recognise them the first glimpse or the 3rd, 5th or 10th?

I’m sad that this series has come to an end. I did meet a few characters who I would love to meet again. There’s a certain lawyer that I would love to see her find a happy ever after.

Ariel Waters and Eric Sailor were magical!  Ariel is trying to get over her verbally abusive ex husband.  She wants to get back to her sassy self without the help of a man. After she is evicted from her home, Eric rides to the rescue with his spare yacht.  They fight like cats and dogs, but Eric just eats it up.  He has never had to work for a girl, but Ariel is worth all the effort. This is definitely a must read!  5 stars for this fairy tale come true!

I have read a lot of books, but I have to say this is my all-time favorite book ever written. The cover is perfect, the chemistry is perfect, and every single word in this book is perfect. I literally could not get enough. I loved the story so much that I have actually read it twice already, and I will probably read it several more times. Tara Sivec blew the final book of the Naughty Princess Club out of the water. I’m still in a book hangover. 

Ariel is cocky, confident, and a leader for the Naughty Princess Club and her life is in complete order. Well… at least that’s what everyone thinks. Deep down, Ariel has some major issues left over from her ex. He literally flipped her whole world upside down, and it’s been there ever since. She’s struggling to make ends meet, and now, she is losing everything she loves, until Eric steps into the picture. Ariel doesn’t like the handsome playboy, but she can’t hide her emotions the more he does for her without ever asking for anything in return. Can Ariel open her heart back up again, or is she destined to be miserable forever?

I swear Eric is the perfect guy in every way. I loved him so much!!! Ariel and Eric make the perfect couple. They are both funny, and their chemistry is off the charts. I have loved this series since the first one, but this book is PURE PERFECTION! I’m still swooning, and I probably will be for a while.

I love this series. Each book works as a standalone and bears repeat reading with glee and freshness. I had the roughest time of my life while reading this (obviously unrelated to the book) and ended up rereading sections rather than straight-up continuing as if it were a regular book. Simply because it resonated so deeply with me.

As presented in the previous Naught Princess books, Ariel Waters is a shit-talking, no-nonsense woman-shaped wrecking machine who drinks hard, plays hard, and doesn’t do feels. She is also a pretty damn good friend, especially if it ever came to buying bodies. She came out of a crappy marriage and lost her thriving antique business to alimony payments.

From the beginning, layers begin to pull back, revealing the softer vulnerabilities that Ariel has so far kept masterfully hidden under a thick veneer of STI jokes and liberal use of the word ‘fuck.’ She crumbles under the weight of adult responsibilities like turning in paperwork on time and behaving in a Starbucks. Due to this, she loses her house in the beginning of the book and finds herself bereft of her stuff—the antiques that give her comfort—and needs somewhere to stay. As her two best friends are not in a great place to provide that, she winds up staying on a boat provided by Eric Sailor, the co-owner of Charming’s who has shared a flirt and fuck off non-relationship with her since the first book.

It scared me how much Ariel reminded me of myself, considering I did not like her when I first read At the Stroke of Midnight. But that in itself is probably telling.

Almost more than a romance, this is a story about Ariel getting her power back, accepting those parts of herself she’s rejected, and adulting. The romance is empowering and very carefully crafted to be positive at all times, which I definitely appreciated. It could veer into over the top at times, but Ariel is over the top, so it isn’t like that’s not on theme. There are some romcom tropes in play that made it feel cinematic and nostalgic, while also addressing the kinds of things that make those tropes problematic.

In the first 25-40%, I’ll admit that the fairy tale meta humor was far less present than in the previous books. Especially when compared to In Bed with the Beast, which was employed it to great effect. The Disney adaptation of The Little Mermaid is the only reference on offer and it’s all surface-level jokes that rely heavily on ‘Member That Thing? which…meh. Ariel’s ex is named Sebastian and has French affectations for some reason—mostly the meta humor is in people having certain names The antiques stuff is consistently a good draw from the Disney movie, so I ultimately decided I was happy with this element.

Fitting for the last installment in the series, this book doubles down on the most positive things the series has to offer as a whole—the fun, the sexiness, the ridiculous antics the three friends get into while drunk, and the healthy relationships they have with each other and their significant others. I love the mix of bickering and vulgar language that is vigorously stirred together with love of every kind and trust.

I recommend this and the other books to anyone who wants to inject some positivity into their lives and is super tired of other people telling them to curse less.

Deepest thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an ARC in return for an honest review.

I was a fan of this novel. Although I loved the premise, I felt it was a novel I'd read before. I also struggled to like Ariel herself. I could not get past the first impression of a bad tempered woman who barked at life. I felt it was just a typical story that didn't really live up to the hype.

It’s the Little Mermaids turn!  Or in this case Ariel and Eric finally gets their own story!  This the third book in the The Naughty Princess Club series where life for this real life princesses hasn’t been all fairy tales until now.  In Kiss the Girl, Ariel’s home has been repossesed and she has no choice but to bunk with Eric Sailor, on his boat/mcmansion yacht!  Not the ideal set up but having no choice, she was dragged kicking and screaming out of her beloved home with nothing but her Flounders!  Worst of all, she has to put up with the Eric! But as they spend more time together, she starts seeing a different Eric.  Will these two finally get their own happy ever after with the Flounders?
Kiss the Girl, is funny, complete with witty banter, an ascerbic heroine, a flirty prince and a love story that will keep the reader laughing and turning the pages.

This is a new author for me, and when I first started reading the story, wasn’t quite sure how things were going to go. But, I’ve got to tell you, the more I read, the more I laughed and the more I absolutely fell in love with this book and the characters. Ariel is a no BS kinda gal who speaks her mind and takes no prisoners. Eric is the multimillionaire who  falls in love with her as soon as he sets eyes on her, but needs to bide his time until the time is right. I have so many favorite parts in this book, I can’t name them all, but the friendship Ariel, Cindy and Belle have made for some hysterical situations that left me rolling on the floor. Eric is the absolute perfect match for Ariel, and Derrick Alfredo, well what more can you say about a ball licking hairless cat?  Really not one thing I didn’t like in this book, so if you’re looking for a sassy, hysterical, sexy, hot and steamy story, this is it for you. Very much worth the read, and I will definitely be reading more from this author!

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC copy of this book.

F-U-N! I had so much FUN reading this book I laughed from the beginning to the end. My husband just shook his head and smiled as I giggled my way through this one. This is a re-telling of The Little Mermaid or at least I think so since my kids didn't have that Disney movie (I know bad mom) and so I never saw it but I get the gist of it from this. Ariel Waters is a collector of antiques but she has been evicted from her home and her antiques are gone with her home. Eric Sailor comes to her rescue with a place to stay, much to her very foul-mouth dismay. Oh my does she have a potty mouth! but it is quite endearing and Eric is such a goner for her and her ways. Ariel, along with Belle and Cindy (from the previous two books in the series) have started a home stripping company (they come to your home party and strip), although their business license is not coming through. There is a wicked witch in the mix and an ex-husband (sort of) and all sorts of other fun stuff. Again, LOTS OF FUN! I definitely recommend this one. It can be read as a standalone. 

**Received this ARC for review from the publisher via NetGalley**

Tara Sivec you rock! Your books should come with a warning label that says” do not read in public for fear of laughing out loud excessively”. The book is filled with some of the craziest combinations of words I have ever seen but they are the heights of hilarity. The characters are indescribable funny and witty. I could read this everyday and not be bored.
