What a sweet (and spicy) read!

One of the things I like about books published by Entangled is the fact that I am never disappointed in them. I know that I am going to enjoy the book, and not be throwing away my money. Some Like it Spicy certainly met that standard! I got so frustrated, because I was completely captivated by it, then real life stepped in, and I had to put it down until the next day. It is such a sweet (and spicy!) read that you won't want to put it down!

Ashton is the best! We meet her when she just about pins a guy's nuts to his chair with a kitchen knife, and seriously, how can you NOT love her for that alone? She has a temper (obviously), doesn't take criticism about her cooking well (after meeting her father, it's no wonder), and is about to lose the restaurant she and her two best friends have put everything into. The last thing she wants to do is a reality cooking show, but her best friends convince her the publicity, win or lose, is what they need to pull the restaurant back from the brink of closure.

Enter Ty Cates. *sigh* He's hot, a celebrity chef, and used to dating women who's IQ's match their bra sizes (loved that line!). He's instantly attracted to Ashton, but because of the rules in his contract with the show, he can't fraternize with her, let alone date her. After being with woman who don't eat and just want to be photographed on his arm to further their career's, Ashton's feistiness and love of food soon has him, and her, risking both of their careers to be with each other.

From Ashton puking on Ty's shoes, then nearly getting caught trying to hide her (naked) self and a stray condom, to a jolted ex-contestant doing what she can to ruin Ashton's chances on the show, Some Like it Spicy takes you on whirlwind of emotions. There were so many parts that had me cracking up laughing, out loud in fact, and there were times that I had tears in my eyes. I love how it started, I loved getting immersed in it, and I LOVE how it ended! One of the best happy ever after's I have read in a while. If you want a book with attitude, this one's for you!!

A 5 star read!

This is a sweet, light hearted romantic tale of friends to lovers. While the story is somewhat light reading it engaged my emotions. Its full of heartwarming romance and steamy love scenes ... just what you need when you want a perfect book to escape with.

Josie and Chase are best friends, sharing an apartment in New York City. What I really appreciated about their connection was they really both just wanted friendship at the beginning. And they built an unbelievable deep connection that was not based on a sexual relationship. Chase is a great guy, smart, funny and really handsome. Josie is a lovable heroine. Shes down to earth, funny and independent. These two were fabulous together and when they finally got "together together" - it was smokin hot!

This book is downright hilarious, incredibly sweet, and unexpectedly hot! The characters are likeable, not overly complex, and easy to empathize with. The epilogue was absolutely wonderful and I couldn't have asked for a better one. The chemistry works, the couple is worth rooting for, and it's a sweet story. Overall it's a decent, sexy read.

In short:
Hero 4/5 | Heroine 4/5 | Plot (Point, Originality) 4/5 | Writing Style 4/5 | Steam 4/5 | Romance 4/5 | Angst-Suspense 2/5 | Darkness 0/5 | Humor 4/5 | Secondary Characters 4/5 | Drama-Conflict 3/5 | Mystery 0/5 | Twists 3/5 | Pacing Fast | Action 3/5

Oh my gracious, No Weddings was so good! I'm not sure what I expected from this one, but the sweet romance surprised me. This story focused on the connection of the main characters, not the sexy times and I loved that. Cade and his three sisters start up a party planning business and they need a baker. Enter Hannah, who Cade knew as the Ice Queen. It didn't take long for Cade to realize thats not who she really is. He also recognizes the pain from her past, because its something he can relate too. I loved these two. Cade and Hannah have wonderful chemistry and it was nice to see them take things slow. Their banter was hilarious and there may not have been any sexy time between them, but the sexual tension is definitely there! No Weddings is told from Cades POV and I fell head over heels for him. I loved seeing the change in him as he got to know Hannah and feelings developed. The secondary characters in this story were great as well, Cade's sisters were fun and his roommates entertaining, I enjoyed seeing his relationships with them all. I'm really looking forward to reading One Funeral, the next in the series, to see what happens next for Cade and Hannah.

You probably know what you're getting into with a story like this. A curvy girl lands two billionaires through some kinky adventures. This is a brisk but fun read with a lot of spice and a lot of sweetness, especially in the heartwarming ending. Fans of billionaires and BBW stories will like this.

I don't read much contemporary romance anymore, leaning more toward darker paranormal, SF&F and its various sub-genres. But Caution: Filling is Hot, just turned that around, and I'm heading back to the bookstore to see what I've been missing! I loved this book! It was an absolute joy to read.

Piper has been burnt by love and isn't looking for a relationship any time soon. Then bam...gorgeous widower Chad and his precious twins barrel into her life. Try as she might to just stay friends with Chad, Piper can't resist the sizzling chemistry between them. Not that Chad will let her resist! He pursues her and does everything in his power to break down her walls. The development of Piper and Chad's relationship was fun, sexy, and natural.

A sense of family grows throughout the novel and is supported by a well-developed cast of characters. I especially loved the sharp wit of Piper's best friend Joy. Tara Mills has whipped up a warm, believable story with two people who have real insecurities and doubts, but are able to overcome them and find their happily ever after. Caution: Filling is Hot is a fun and spicy read you won't want to miss. The filling is definitely sizzling. (Note: I received an ARC of this book in exchange for an honest review.)

Good heavens was this spicy! Heat level was very high... Loved how the heroine was an author/writer whose military spouse loved taking care of his woman in all the right ways. There was a very sweet, erotic intimacy between them with chemistry that just jumped right off the pages. These military quickies are just so fun to read. Very enjoyable for when you need some quick spice for an evening at home or a naughty afternoon.

What a sweet, sweet book from a sweet, sweet author.  The story brings back so many happy memories of my childhood and the insecurities of my own teenage years .  It is filled with vivid images of Carolina Beach and the good-ole days of growing up in Rocky Mount. Lynn is such an enthusiastic and encouraging soul and her personality shines through her writing.  She just makes you feel good about life when you meet her and this book will make you smile and be filled with joy!  Great job, my friend...couldn't put it down until I finished!

This was a sweet and very enjoyable read, I just loved all the characters and once I got started I just couldn't put it down. I loved that there wasn't a lot of drama and that this was a very sweet story. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more of her work. I would recommend this one for anyone that loves sweet romances.

I was provided with a digital copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This peppy and racy romance story proved to be a great read. Choco is devoted to her responsibilities in life - her family's Filipino restaurant and her education. She hopes to have and run her own restaurant some day. She is caught in the frustrating loop of monotony that comes with daily life. Carlos is the head chef in the family restaurant and has been her loyal and best friend. Johnny Dee is a consultant who has been assigned the task of handling the expansion of her family's restaurant. He showers attention on Choco - exactly what Choco had been craving for. Choco lets herself get enchanted with Johnny's attention and before she realises it, she transforms herself into someone she doesn't recognise - leaving her hollow and crushed inside. She covers up her numbness inside and tries to go with the flow, but Carlos is having none of it. He hates to see what his friend has turned into, and he has had enough of being just her friend. He gets into the battle scene to claim the true Choco and her heart back. Does he succeed, is what the book takes us through.

I thoroughly loved the characterisation of the protagonists. Choco's helplessness and confusion, conjoined with Carlo's initial bewilderment and eventual determination have all been churned out well and served nice and warm by Ayala. The plot is pacy and keep's the reader's attention throughout. Being completely new to Filipino food and culture, I was pleasantly surprised when the book smoothly enlightened me on a lot of points about both. What is remarkable about the book is that neither the characters, nor their words are shallow at any point - the author doesn't make light of any situation in the book and brushes it off with cliche sentences. Instead she has carefully carved out the emotional dynamics in the different scenes throughout and the dialogues, thoughts and language are all used in sync with this.

I would definitely recommend this to lovers of romance and drama.

My rating for this book: 4 stars

This is a sweet, romantic story. Just because it's sweet doesn't mean it lacks for hotness.
The characters are very like able. Even the secondary characters are well developed.
The author does a good job of balancing the tormented angst that both Cassie and Blake have within against their humor and small town surroundings. In my opinion Blake is the scene stealer. He is funny, hot, tormented and just enough of a smart ass to make him irresistible.

Cassie is reunited with her former BFF Laurel whom I ultimately attached with more-so than Cassie.
Blake's counterpart James is hilarious and you can see a spin off of James' story coming from a mile away.
Cassie's Gran is funny yet down to earth reminding me a lot of the gran character from the Sookie Stackhouse series.

There are small town bitties that should really mind their own business. Horrible mean girls that you will find yourself wanting to pop their fake boobs with a sharp fork and very heated, sexually tension filled scenes. Be on the look out for the club scene involving lots of hip grinding dance floor action. There are times when Cassie's feelings are so well written that I felt it in the pit of my stomach.

So why only 4 stars?? It was a bit more predictable in several situations than I can tend to overlook. Although I REALLY enjoyed the secondary characters, I don't think in a book #1 of a series that I should be as or more connected with the secondaries than the primaries. Some of the descriptive qualities could have been tightened up more to do a little more showing v/s telling.

In summary, I think this author has loads of talent and can't wait to see where she goes. Fun, fast read with lots of 'felt' emotion.

Sugar & Spice makes this read ultra nice!

Surgar's definitely Twice as sweet in this first of the Sugar, Georgia series by Marina Adair. Laugh out loud funny, this author never ceases to surprise me with her wit and quirky characters -- characters who live in my mind long after the book is closed. With so much going on in the story -- the main romance, the family interaction, the town's characters...and I do mean characters -- I kept turning the pages to see what Adair had up her sleeve next. I was never disappointed. I enjoyed each and every little turn in the road and knot in the plot.

Kudos, Ms. Adair! Keep these fun, sexy reads coming! A seriously fun, sweet and sexy, sexy read all around!

Definitely a must read series!

If you are looking for a read that is sweet and heartfelt, then look no further. This book is a sweet lovely short read. Regardless of all the sweet that I have been saying, there are so many extremely hot scenes, and our hero is very naughty. Besides that the story being wonderful, the best part has to be the epilogue. I feel like even though the read is super short, the epilogue gives a satisfied ending. Read this book especially if you need something to put a smile on your face during a bad day.

I can honestly say that you will want to get this book!! It's a fun and sexy read that you can read at the doctors office, or waiting at the airport. But you may blush just a little! This has got to be the most spicy little read X has came up with, and I'm not going to be happy when this story is over with.

Aston is a CEO of an Erotic Publishing Company, so her everyday life is stressful. Her lovely assistant decided she needed to release some of that, and booked her lovely massage. But I don't think she had this kind of massage in mind. Klous is very good with his hands, and he shows Astin that releasing control can be very good on your soul. These two get Twisted in each other, but will it be for the best????

So very sweet with a side of naughty is how I would classify this book. Ollie and Sam, college sweethearts looking to find their way back to each other after twins and life that took over. In room 208 they both learn to communicate with each other about their relationship and they also learn about secret sexy desires. Of course with every story there has to be a villain, which includes this book. This particular villain brings both hindrance and closeness. Nowlets get to the good stuff! For such a sweet book I wasn't expecting the level of explicitness that the author added to the story. It was definitely a surprise but a welcomed one. It provided a great balance for the loveable goodness just like the rekindling of Ollie and Sam. Dont get me wrong, not only were the scenes explicit but they were also very hot! Again, I was very surprised and did not expect it to come out in this story. So that made me a very happy reader. There was also a hint of great comedic timing in this book. I can tell that the author has a really great sense of humor, which came out in the supporting characters. I absolutely adore Ollies assistant. Wait until you meet her sassy self! I Love her! If someone that was looking for a bit of sweet and spicythis is the book I would recommend. This is definitely a HEA book that you will love!

This book was a sweet, funny read. I loved it! I don't often read sweet/family friendly books for myself, but ever since I read the blurb I've been wanting to read it, and I'll be back to read more. I can't wait to read what happens next in this series.
