BOOK REVIEW- KISS THE GIRL(The Naughty Princess Club) by Tara Sivec


A struggling antiques collector finds herself falling in love with a millionaire playboy; but can she ever be a part of his world?
Meet the Naughty Princess Club, a series from USA Today bestselling author Tara Sivec that brings readers to Fairytale Lane and the hilarity—and romance—that three women fall into once they decide to strut their stuff and bring on their own happily ever after.
While her friends have broken free of their insecurities, Ariel Waters is struggling to come out of her shell. Her ex-husband took away her voice and her self-confidence, and Ariel is drowning under a sea of debt to afford the alimony she has to pay him. She refuses to ever fall for a man’s charms again, and is determined to make her own way.
When her house and her beloved antiques are taken by the bank after too many missed payments, Ariel finds herself adrift until the infuriatingly charming Eric Sailor comes to her rescue. Although she can’t stand the millionaire playboy, Eric’s kindness and unconditional support reveal hidden depths and a love that Ariel never imagined she could find.
But there are outside influences who will stop at nothing to keep them apart; can Ariel and Eric weather the storm and find a way to be together in Kiss the Girl?   AMAZON  3.5 STARS



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 received an ARC via Netgalley and this is my honest opinion of it.
