ARC Review: DIRTY DOCTOR by Whitney G.

Summary:

"Lean back on the table and spread your legs for me..."

Being a doctor in New York City has never been easy. Especially for someone like me who has a private practice and an incompetent staff who insists on leaving me to fill in for them.

Over the past six months, I've performed one too many pap smears, three too many "breast exams," and scrubbed in on several reconstructive surgeries. (This would be acceptable if I was still interested in general medicine, but I'm not. I'm supposed to be a goddamn therapist...)

When my team finally came to their senses and decided to bring someone more competent into the practice last month, I was actually elated.

Until I realized that our new "doctor" was none other than the woman I was supposed to meet over dinner two weeks ago. The same woman who stood me up with nothing more than an "I can't meet you anymore, sorry," after we agreed to move our online talks into reality.

I haven't forgotten any of the filthy fantasies she told me about, and I never deleted our dirty messages. And if she thinks that I'm going to act like a "professional" and pretend like that shit never happened, she has another thing coming...

It's been a long while since I read anything by Whitney G. Even longer since Reasonable Doubt and its lovable asshole Andrew, so when Dirty Doctor appeared in my inbox promising to be a story just for sexy fun, I thought to myself that yes, I could go for something like that. After all, I couldn't remember the last time I read a book just for sexy fun. I still can't, and that is troubling. Anyways, the Dirty Doctor...

The story of the Dirty Doctor and the Resident had elements not unfamiliar in a Whitney G. book. In more ways than one it reminded me of Reasonable Doubt. I can't say I was too bothered by that, but I also can't say it had the same effect. My favorite of the two is crystal clear. To be fair, going in I didn't expect the Dirty Doctor to dethrone Andrew no matter how dirty he was. This was a book I chose to be my easy read on a lazy Saturday, and it filled that function.

Garrett (the Dirty Doctor) and Natalie, the main characters of this romance, first met online through a dating site. According to the site, they were a perfect match, but neither made a move to make a date in person or exchange real names. What they did was chat a lot about everything. Many emails were exchanged full of sexy banter throughout the novella. Whitney G's characters do seem to like that form of communication. So, the chats continued until a date was finally set for them to meet in person over dinner. Unfortunately for Garrett, his date stood him up.

Garrett is a doctor at a private practice and the owner, and Natalie became a new resident at the same practice. Neither of them knew that until Natalie came to their dinner and realized her date is also her new boss, at which point she did the "really mature" thing and fled before he saw her. Garrett would realize his no-show date was the new resident some time later at which point he would start acting "really maturely" and "professionally" towards Natalie all leading up to them hooking up and ultimately getting involved in a serious relationship.

Whitney G. described this novella as having no real plot, just fun, sexy banter, and sex. The first three were there, but the fourth happened only once and I found that a little surprising.

All in all, for a lazy-Saturday read, this novella did alright.

Review

Rating: 4.5 stars.

Last year I read this lovely book that made me feel all warm inside. That book was Sustained. It's my favorite part of The Legal Briefs series, and my favorite book by Emma Chase. So imagine my excitement when I heard The Legal Briefs would be getting an epilogue in a novella in which the main star would be Jake Becker. JAKE BECKER!!! Also known as the main character in Sustained.

Sidebarred reminded me why I loved reading Sustained as much as I did. It was such a treat to get more of Jake, and the sweet little monsters. The others were okay, too, but Jake and the kids were my favorite. They always are.

Riley, Raymond, Rory, Ronan, Rosaleen, Regan are older now, but still adorable, and fun. And Jake is still amazing with all of them. It's sweetness overload, really. Big, stern Jake singing One Direction songs? Priceless.

We already know from the epilogue of Appealed Jake and Chelsea's big family would get a little bigger, and Sidebarred tells the story of how that came to be. It is a super cute story. I was rooting for it to happen all along.

Besides Jake's parenting skills, Sidebarred showcased his other qualities such as his possessiveness, and willingness to protect his wife from sleazy men at any cost.

The other characters were here, too. We get an update on Sofia and Stanton, Brent and Kennedy, and the novella ends quite a few years into the future when the adorable monsters are all grown up and living their own lives, making Jake proud.

All in all, a lovely series epilogue, and a must read for anyone who read and liked Sustained. If you haven't read it, well, in that case Sustained is a must read.

REVIEW: Finn Again (The Finn Factor, #5) by R.G. Alexander

Genre: MM Contemporary Romance

Synopsis on GR:

Revisit the Finn Family as they prepare for Christmas Eve and the Curious Wedding of Owen Finn and Jeremy Porter. From bachelor parties with penis cakes to proposals and new revelations, the family has one heck of a holiday season. Are you Team Owen or Team Jeremy? Whatever side of the aisle you’re sitting on, you’ll finally get to see the wedding we’ve all been waiting for.
And maybe catch a glimpse of a few new members of the Finn Club…

*This is not a stand-alone as much as a revisiting of previous series characters, but it is the 5th story in the Finn Factor series.

Warning: This holiday feel good is full of nookie. m/m, m/m/f, m/m again…and some more m/m (you’ve read the series right? Then you know how they are.)

REVIEW

Woah...the members of the Finn family are definitely a group of kinky m...*ahem* people. I've read so far only the 1st book in the series Curious which is a bffs-to-lovers mm romance (a pretty good one btw.) and this one which focuses again on Owen's & Jeremy's romance from book 1, but also on romance life of the rest of the siblings whose books I have yet to read.

I loved Owen & Jeremy as a couple in Curious, but I simply adored them in this short novella. They were fun, witty, cute and dirty more than ever. Their happily-ever-after continues in this installment with a bachelor party and and wedding bells and we get a little sneak-a-peek in the lives of the rest of the family whith a couple of pretty steamy scenes.

The only flaw of the book is its shortness, other than that I have no doubt the fans of the series will be more than pleased with the outcome. If you're a mm romance fan with fetish for friends-to-lovers mm romances I definitely recommend book 1!

ARC Review: CONVINCING THE SECRETARY (London Legal, #3) by Ava March

Summary:

Business and pleasure is a mix no gentleman should consider.

Lord Grayson Holloway goes after what he wants—be it in the law office on his clients’ behalf or in the bedchamber. His new position as partner puts him closer to achieving his goal of becoming the most successful solicitor in London. There’s just one problem—his new secretary. Broad of shoulder yet mild of manner, Edward tempts Gray like no other. Yet the young man barely notices him.

Edward Fenton tries to be a good secretary, but being in Lord Grayson’s hard, commanding presence rouses Edward’s most forbidden desires. Wicked, naughty desires no gentleman should consider giving in to, let alone with his new employer.

Gray is more than willing to mix business with pleasure. But convincing Edward to take a chance on a future with him? That might be the most challenging case Gray has ever taken on.

Warning: Includes buttoned-up gentlemen who become undone, improper use of a desk, spankings, and a big bad lord who has a soft spot for his virgin secretary.

Review:

Rating: 3.5 stars.


Convincing the Secretary is a historical, slightly kinky M/M romance novella, which makes it a type of story I'd gladly read any day. I chose it because I have become a huge M/M historical romance fan thanks to books by K.J. Charles, and would like to find more good ones. This was also a chance to try something by Ava March, which I'd been meaning to do for a while. The fact that the main characters turned out to be a bit kinky was a very welcome bonus.

This being my first Ava March book ever, it goes without saying I haven't read the previous installments in the London Legal series, therefore I can't say how much, if anything, had already been said about Edward and Gray, the main characters in Convincing the Secretary. What I can say is that this story worked very well on its own, as I never felt I had missed some crucial detail about them while I was reading. Quite the opposite. Even though this is a novella, there was enough about Gray's and Edward's characteristics and their backgrounds to make me invested in their story of finding happiness.

And their story gave me all the right feels. From the anticipation of the start of their romance at the beginning, after both Gray and Edward had spent some time wanting each other and not acting on it believing the other didn't reciprocate the feeling... To them getting to know each other... To the giving into what they wished for, which for Edward meant being punished by Gray, making it all the more interesting to me... Then to the heartache that came from assumptions that came between them. That's the part where I became worried about where it would all lead, but I needn't have. It led to a satisfactory resolution, and a lovely happy ending.

All in all, an enjoyable novella, and a successful first read by this author. I look forward to reading more in the future.

ARC Review: NAUGHTY WISHES Part I: BODY by Joey W. Hill

Summary:

In Naughty Wishes Part I, the fearlessly sensual author of Naughty Bits—and “one hell of a writer”*—now draws readers into the desires of one woman, and the two men who make her every fantasy come true.

Samantha and her roommates Geoff and Chris have always shared an innocent and casual intimacy, but for Sam it has cloaked a deeper desire that remains tantalizingly out of reach. The two men have been best friends since childhood, and that friendship keeps them frustratingly hands-off toward her and each other. She wants to respect their code of honor, but Sam craves something more primitive, and she knows they feel the same way. Maybe there’s a way to bring it out in both of them—one man at a time.

When Chris goes out of town for the week with his landscaping company, it’s time for her to initiate her adventurous goal. Her plan is to go toe-to-toe with Geoff, the alpha of their trio, and tease to life that Dominant side of him she’s waited so long for him to express. And Geoff is more than willing to claim her. But things don’t go exactly as planned. They’re even better.

Rating: 4 stars.


Samantha, Geoff, and Chris: three longtime friends and roommates about to finally take their relationship in a direction they all long for...

I've wanted to read about just that for awhile now, so I can't say I'm too happy this story is told through four novellas. Right when it got very interesting, I was at the end of the novella, and I was screaming internally: "Chris! Nooo! Come back! I need to read more!" For a minute there I regretted not waiting for all parts to be out before starting this serial like I did with Naughty Bits. Nevertheless, I did enjoy reading this part of Naughty Wishes. I'm not too pleased I have to wait months to get to the really good parts, but I'll wait as long as it takes.

In the fictional worlds Joey W. Hill has created, Samantha, Geoff, and Chris aren't entirely unknown characters. Those readers who have read the previous four-part serial, Naughty Bits, may remember them because they appeared there as Madison's customers. I certainly wasn't able to forget them because:
a) I was jealous of Sam, and
b) right at that time I learned Ms. Hill had their story in the works, and I've been looking forward to it ever since.

Naughty Wishes Part I is set only a week after that visit to Naughty Bits, so things weren't exactly as I imagined they would be. I thought Sam, Geoff, and Chris would be further along in their romantic relationship, but I can see now this novella serial will be about them finally giving into what they all three want, and I can't wait to see how they'll fit into their new roles. The dynamic they'll have is more-or-less clear, and Sam knew it, too. That's why she was set out to conquer Geoff first. 

As I said, it was the week after the trio visited the lingerie shop, but things weren't going as well or as fast as Samantha would've liked. She had no doubts about where their relationship should go, but Geoff and Chris needed to be pushed a little. Her first step was showing Geoff, who was the alpha in their group, her true desires. She needed him on board before attempting anything with Chris. And Geoff was more than willing to play. Yay for everyone!

Now, Geoff was willing to play, and was good at it, but he was still a dominant learning the ropes. Sam had a co-worker providing her with the much needed guidance in the world of BDSM. Geoff found himself learning a thing or two from Logan, and Troy. I appreciate that the author made them and Madison a part of this story, because I do so love finding the same characters in different books.

As for Sam and Geoff, they showed the signs of that deep connection Joey W. Hill's characters I've come to know for, and why I keep coming back to her books, and why I'm such a fan of her work. I was a bit disappointed Chris didn't make an appearance until the very end, but it's all the more reason to look forward to the next chapters and see at last the three of them making their relationship work, and I know they will make it work. How they'll do it, that remains to be seen. In 21 days.

ARC Review: CHAMPAGNE KISSES by Lynda Aicher

Summary:

The Christmas Eve wedding Evan Cleary pulled together in four weeks is crashing down around him and taking his fledgling event planning business with it. With an empty altar and over a hundred guests arriving soon, he turns to the resistant, gorgeous brother of the runaway groom for help.

When Richard Patterson’s flamboyant brother storms out hours before he’s scheduled to marry his equally dramatic partner, Richard is left dealing with the fallout. The last thing he wants is more drama, yet he can’t deny his attraction to the effeminate event planner trying to salvage the wedding.

Evan thinks his crush on Richard is a lost cause, but one steaming kiss later, he learns different. What starts as a night of hot sex turns into a connection neither expected. But Evan knows their relationship is hopeless unless the ultra-conservative Richard can embrace every part of him—both in private and in public.

Review:

Rating: 3 stars!

Champagne Kisses is a Christmas romance novella starring Evan and Richard. According to the author's note, they are an established, happy couple from her Wicked Play series, so this novella is perfect for those readers who've already met them in that series and wish to read their falling-in-love story.

The story takes place Christmas Eve when Richard's brother's wedding was supposed to take place, but due to the other groom's infidelity didn't. Evan, as a resourceful event planer, managed to avoid the negative effect on his business that cancellation would've had by turning it into a Christmas party for the wedding guests. The success of the party wasn't the only gain for Evan that night.
A night of hotness with Richard followed.

Evan had had a crush on Richard and fantasized about him ever since he started planning that wedding, but he never held any hope that the serious Richard would ever feel the same way about him. That night Richard proved him wrong. Richard proved himself wrong, too. While he couldn't deny he was attracted to Evan, Richard who had always disliked flamboyant, effeminate men, was still convinced he did not have room for a man like that in his life. But that night Evan and Richard put their differences aside, and enjoyed each other's company in bed... and near the bed... They took their sweet time bringing each other pleasure. That sex scene, where it became clear Richard liked to dominate in the bedroom, took up a lot pages in the novella. Not a bad thing, but I would have preferred if it had been a bit shorter. I also would've preferred it hadn't had moments that made me feel like I was reading M/F, and, unfortunately, I'm quite sure I would've liked it more if it really had been M/F. Oh, well...

By morning Richard realized that one night with Evan wouldn't be enough. Evan needed some persuading, but Richard succeeded, and the story was wrapped-up with a sweet epilogue with them happy and in love during Christmas that followed.

What I liked most about Champagne Kisses was Evan. Since this is only a novella, it didn't go deep into the characters pasts and backgrounds, but I learned enough about Evan and Richard. Both won my sympathies, but Evan I actually liked. Richard, not so much, or at all. Sure, he came around, but still... There was just something about him that bugged me.

I obviously have some mixed feelings about this novella, and they're getting even more mixed the more I think about it, but I'd still recommend to those looking for something hot and short to read, especially readers who are already familiar with this author's work.

My Review:

Rating: 3.5 stars.

Drew Evans. He's come a long way from that "flu" episode. One thing's the same, though: he's still a self-centered, arrogant, lovable asshole. It was such a nice treat to see that even eight years into his relationship with Kate, he still managed to get himself deep into trouble. Wow, eight years... Wow... Now, Drew, trouble, go!

Drew, ever the ambitious businessman and very close to getting a new important client made a bad call as a husband, father, and family man in general: he went to work on Christmas Eve. Kate was obviously furious and disappointed, but Drew, living in his Drew bubble didn't understand what the big deal was. He wasn't exactly in the holiday spirit. He thought Ebenezer Scrooge had the right idea. And after that night, he'd have a lot more in common with Scrooge.

To show him the error of his ways, Drew was visited by three spirits, each one bringing him closer to learning a lesson he'd never forget. The spirit of Christmas past took him to his childhood when he was only five and, if you'll believe Drew, "fucking adorable", and made a special Christmas wish. The spirit of Christmas present showed him what his five-year-old son was wishing for. The third spirit was not there to show him the future, but to make him appreciate his present by showing him an alternative one.

Of course, in the end, Drew came through, as he always does, and everything was right once again.


It's a Wonderful Tangled Christmas Carol is a great holiday story for the fans of the Tangled series. I am a fan, myself, so I am rather surprised I haven't enjoyed it more. Don't get me wrong, I did like it, but not as much as I thought I would. It could be because I was feeling tired while I read it, but I suspect it's mostly due to the fact I'm enjoying this new series by Emma Chase, The Legal Briefs, and that Sustained has become my favorite book by Ms. Chase, and Jake my favorite hero she's written about. Yes, reading this novella confirmed Drew was dethroned by Jake in my eyes.


I think I would have liked this more had I read it last year when it first came out. Alas, it was part of an anthology, and I decided to wait and see if it would be published separately. Luckily, it was. Unluckily, I had to wait a whole year.


Oh, there is a bonus story in this edition. Ever wonder how Drew proposed to Kate? Well, the answer can be found in Indecent Proposal .


Overall, it was a fun, sweet Drew Christmas story. Whoever liked reading about Drew Evans from his POV will not want to miss it.

Summary

Can true love overcome a bad hide day and a series of unfortunate events?

Disillusioned in love, Jen Tremaine is done with men. So when her best friends dare her to wear a cow costume to their reunion at an Outback Bachelor & Spinster Ball, she's all over it. Who would have thought dressing as a heifer would make her irresistible to a bunch of lasso-twirling, drunken cowboys?

Maybe you should have thought this through, says the sexy security guard who keeps finding her at the center of trouble. Even though Jen's always dismissed soul mates as a load of bull, the sizzle between them is making her wonder: What if you met The One while wandering lonely as a cow? Would you find the courage to become a believer?

When ex-Special Forces soldier Logan Turner is roped into helping out with security at the B&S ball, he isn't expecting to find love - but after months in all-male company he sure is hoping for lust. Hecertainly isn't expecting to fall for a feisty, funny, trouble-making Cowderella. Only problem is, she's leaving Australia tomorrow.

Convincing Jen they can still have a future together may wind up being the toughest mission of his life.

***MY REVIEW***

Logan and Jen sure did woo me! The novella begins with a Bachelor and Spinster Ball, Jen and her friends Beth and Ellie are all dealing with some love issues so they all decide to go to this country ball. Each novella deals with a separate heroine and her respective adventures; Woo Me focuses on Jen.

Now, due to a dare she can’t refuse, Jen goes to this ball dressed in a costume – as a cow. Logan is an ex-soldier who helps out his little sister by working security at the ball. Now, you may think this couldn’t possibly work, but it does! Jen is an urban girl, independent, strong – I liked her a lot. Logan, despite his tough exterior hides a caring and protective personality. They’re so well matched, IMO and their chemistry was incredible. There was no instalove, which is always appreciated; the characters do get to know each other a bit before getting together.

Moreover, I loved the tension, and I’m pleased to say I liked both characters separately before I liked them as a couple. That’s always good, in my book. Furthermore, the sexy times – once the moment arrived, it was sizzling HOT! Jen and Logan have some mean chemistry together. It didn’t feel like a one night stand at all (not that there’s anything wrong with those, mind you!), it’s just that I really felt the connection between Jen & Logan; like I knew them for a long time. And I sure wouldn’t have minded knowing them a little longer either. This novella is only some 100 pages long, but it made me swoon, laugh and ache. There were a lot of secondary characters, for example Wayne, who provided comic relief – I really would’ve loved more scenes with him, LOL. Then Lily, Logan’s little sister… Had this been longer I’m sure all those characters would’ve been further explored!

Overall, it left me wanting more. And I believe this just speaks about Karina Bliss’ amazing writing abilities. It takes talent to create good romance in just 100 pages. Novellas are always more difficult to write than full-length novels, at least that’s what I think.

This is my second time reading Karina Bliss, and her stories are always real, but never dull, sexy and emotional at the same time. I can say she quickly became one of my favorite romance authors.
