Tara Sivec - Kiss the Girl

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. 

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?
