Publisher's summary

In Kiss the Girl, 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 best-selling author Tara Sivec that brings listeners 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?

Love that mouthy, prickly princess

Yeah, be prepared for the mouth on this one.
This was my favorite of the bunch because it layers in the couples from the other two books and thus has the three amigas supporting the ride-or-die comedy side of the story. Like the other two books, the romance side was more of a slow burn with a few grindy get togethers, but only one really hawt full-on mambo. The warm but not sizzling side is odd, especially considering the stripper themes.

Erik is also unnaturally patient, understanding and thoughtful, making this relationship feel very uneven. Perhaps this was needed to balance with Ariel, who is mouthy and prickly and insecure to the extreme.
I would have preferred Ariel with more mettle and Erik with at least one flaw.

I like the narrator’s female voices, even if the gals sometimes blend together. The reason I didn’t rate her as high is because her male voices don’t bring the smexy for me. Duet narration would have rocked.

Minor pet peeve: given that a major theme is Ariel’s insecurity about her curves, why does the cover art portray her as size 2? And doesn’t Erik. Have blond hair? It feels like the same male model for all three covers, just with his eyes airbrushed blue.

Very boring

The book was so boring I couldn’t even finish it. Very disappointing! Look for something else.

Buy Them All; You'll Want to Revisit

This whole series is A+. I could read it over and over and over again (and probably will), because it's just that hilarious, raw, emotional, and spicy. Wow!

I have to watch where I am when I'm listening to the audiobooks, because I often just burst out in uncontrollable laughter, which tends to make everyone else in public who can't hear my book look at me like I'm insane. The voice is so fantastic and spot on, and each character is distinct.

Honestly, this series is so delicious that I don't even mind a bit of public humiliation from my inappropriate responses to it. I guarantee that if I play this book, within 5 minutes, I'll be grinning like a hyena, and whatever crap the day has thrown at me will just fade away into the background.

Besides, what's a few weird looks and an angry parent shuffling her children away from me, because of my random book inspired outburst in the middle of the grocery store? Book reactions happen to everyone, people. It's part of life. Just deal with it. Besides, I kind of feel sorry for all those people who were living their boring lives outside of this world, while I was all caught up in it. They're the ones who should be avoided, because you just can't trust people who don't read.

Please don't tell me it's the end!!!

I loved every single one of these books in the series! I loved the clever way that Tara wove in the Disney stories and it was so fun to pick out those parts.
I truly hope that there are more of these. I love everything that she writes, but I particularly loved these stories that were so empowering to women and I loved the hidden messages.
The women in each one of these books were knocked down and pick themselves back up and kept going.
These books had the perfect amount of humor, steam, and love story.

Omg! Best of the series.

I have sat patiently, waiting for this book. No. Okay. I’m lying. I’ve been a pain in the butt arse and totally counted the days like a kid on Christmas. BUT it’s because this series has been such greatness that I could not wait for Ariel’s story. Yes it is bittersweet because this is the last book but Holy Channing Tatum’s Balls it was top tier. Without a doubt best of the three. It pains me to choose, or admit that I did. It’s like saying you have a favorite kid. Which I mean okay so some people do. When I’d it is just for the moment or the day... whatever. Still! This book, this series, cheese and biscuits... this Author. She’s a go to. An immediate one click. You need to read stat!

loved it

I really enjoyed reading this author.  I look forward to reading more books by this author in the near future.

Love this series!

This is by far one of the best comedy series I have listened to in a while. Love the characters and the plot of the stories! Totally worth it! I couldn’t wait to get to the next book!

Go woman power!

This series truly shows women supporting each other and true friendships! I loved the whole thing. The guys that stood with their women, supported them, and loved them for who their are! Thank you

Loved It!!

This was another Great Series from Tara Sivec!! Hilarious, Emotional, Loving and most importantly Friendship. Woman standing up for one another as well as themselves, not tearing each other Down!!
Tara Sivec, I love the work you do and how you portray woman in your series, strong, independent and confident enough to make a way for themselves ❤❤❤❤❤
Your #1 Fan ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I really wish this wasn't the end to the series

Tara Sivec knows how to entertain us with a sassy heroine and a true prince charming that on the outside you wouldn't think fit together but once Eric gets passed all of that snarky humor Ariel uses to keep the wall around her you see that he is the perfect one for her...because he is the only one that can get passed all of her snarkyness.

This book had me laughing out loud so much at one point I was doubled over! I listened to the audiobook version of this book and the narrator CJ Bloom did a phenomenal job with it.

I’m sad that this is the last we will see of the Naughty Princess Club....maybe Tara will surprise us in the future with additional princesses. I for one really, really hope she does!
