After reading the blurb for this book I was so excited and thought for sure I was going to love it, but unfortunately that wasn't the case. I wasn't a fan of the time jumps and the miscommunication and honestly just didn't find myself caring for Carson, Grace or their story.

Speechless after reading this!!!! The sexy banter, the sex scenes, the 5 year gap, & 2nd chance at love! This book has me in a chokehold & the elevator scene will forver live rent free in my head. Never have I ever thought a book with a porn star character would captivate me in this way. The 1st half of this could easily have been a standalone. Then, when the plot twist/5 year gap builds, you will do nothing but praise Mia Sheridan for creating this epic story.

This was my first Mia Sheridan and count me unimpressed. The romance was meh at best, bad at worst. the first part of the story was fun and then it went downhill, the second was just ridiculous and I hated how the human trafficking plot was handled, it felt SO lazy. It was overall very cliche and I rolled my eyes SO MANY TIMES. Anyway, 1.5 stars, and that's generous

Another revamped cover of an old book by Mia--love her and her books. Can't wait to read an actual new release

This one has to be a dnf from me. We start the book out with our main character running straight into an adult entertainer. Cliche. And then they get into an argument and hate each other right off the bat. Cliche. And then they get trapped in an elevator together. He ends up signing a song to her to get her to stop having a panic attack. He explains why he's an adult entertainer which is a horrible backstory. About how his mom got pregnant with him while working in the industry so he joined the industry. Makes no sense. And then all of a sudden they are hooking up in the elevator. This book is just too cliche and not wrote well. Nothing in it is original. Even the main character is annoying. I don't recommend this book to anyone.

Thank you to the publisher and NetGalley for providing me with an advanced copy of Stinger by Mia Sheridan.

I loved Leo so I knew this book wouldn't disappoint. And Wow, I did not see where this plot was going. Such a great surprise turn of events! Nothing terribly dramatic, but just not what you are thinking when reading the synopsis. Very sweet love story between these two. Definitely believe in fate and destiny and these two souls were meant to be together in the long run. Also glad this didn't end on a cliffhanger...finally a stand alone book! Loved it! 5 stars!

Mia Sheridan’s writing just gets better and better. I loved Stinger. This is a stand alone and is ready to be enjoyed!

Thank you NetGalley for the arc! This book was an interesting second chance romance read. Grace and Carson meet each other at a conference in Vegas. Grace is a law student and Carson is a male adult performer. Both these characterizes have a story and the story is told from two point of views. There are all sorts of surprises in the book and that is what wrapped me in the story. Yes the book has the perfect amount of spice.

I love a Mia Sheridan novel to give me some romance with substance. The characters are created to be more than the sometimes two dimensional romance leads we read about - you sympathize and fantasize about them the further you read

Mia Sheridan's books have always been a must read for me. I think that this book is no exception. Loved it!

Wow. I am an avid Mia Sheridan fan (Archers Voice and Savaged being my go-to comfort reads), and I am not sure what I was expecting going into this one but it definitely blew whatever my expectations had been out of the water. Stinger was completely different than the other Mia Sheridan reads I’ve enjoyed in the past. I loved the dynamic of the characters and the banter between Carson and Grace.

This was my first Mia Sheridan, and it wont be the last.

These characters were well developed and great on page together. I felt Mia's way of going through much time with these characters was done well and she didn't get caught up in little moments that weren't needed.

Can't wait to check out more from her.

Thank you Netgalley for the ARC of this book. This was not for me. I struggled with the story and the characters. Just seemed too implausible.

Thank you very much for the opportunity to read this book early! I really enjoyed it. I thought the writing was very well done, and the story kept me interested. I really loved watching these two characters get together.

This may be one of the hardest books to rate for me. I really enjoyed the second half of this book. The first half was a bit too insta-lovey for me, but it was fun. What I had a hard time with was that the first and second half of the book felt like I was reading two different books. It just didn’t quite make sense to me the direction the story went and it was a little out of left field. I think I would have enjoyed it more with a different first half. I absolutely love Sheridan’s writing though and as usual I teared up at the end.

I did not finish this one, it was not for me, I couldn't relate to the characters, and just did not care for the story.

I had never read anything by this author before but had been wanting to try her books for a while and I'm so glad I did! This is a second chance love story of basically two very different relationships. One relationship is more fun, young love. Then 5 years later is the more grown-up serious relationship with it's own trials and tribulations. This allows you to see each of the characters grow individually and then as a couple. Their relationship intrigued me and kept me turning the page until the very end.

Sadly this book just didn’t grab as much as I hoped it would. I put it down and picked it up multiple times but I just couldn’t connect with it. Super bummed

Grace is the girl with a plan. She knows exactly where her life is going, and prides herself on always achieving her goals. She's never stepped outside the lines she draws for herself, and never considered what her heart truly wants. That is, until him. Carson Stinger doesn't play by any rules except his own. Working in the adult entertainment industry, he doesn't care what others think of his choices, and takes each day as it comes. No direction, no plan. He knows what women want from him, and in his eyes, it's all he has to offer… until her. When unexpected circumstances force them together, Grace and Carson are swept up into the electric chemistry between them, surrendering to a steamy weekend in each other's arms. But for two people whose worlds could never coexist, they know their time is short. That is, until their hearts get involved without their permission…

Grace and Carson have some serious chemistry. They have a whirlwind weekend in Vegas and then years later they meet again. I loved the flow and writing of this book. I read it in one day.

Thanks to NetGalley and Bloom Books for an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
