My Review:

Jessie James is a currently unemployed sportswriter who plans to write a best selling romantic suspense book.  She's has never read one though and she is hoping to get some experience by researching with the first gorgeous guy that catches her eye "Fisher Kincaid".

Fisher Kincaid is a sports doctor who is instantly attracted to Jessie James and he volunteers himself when he finds out she is researching about attraction and romance.  Along the way it hits him over the head he has fallen in love with this spunky and snarky woman.

I didn't really like how Jessie was treating Fisher even after we found out why she treats guys that way.  That really isn't an excuse to treat every guy that way - not all of them are jerks.  The love scenes were smoking hot and steamy and I wish there were a little more.  I really like how she has a close friendship with her best friend Andrew and asks for his opinion on things.

Fisher was a great guy you would love to bring home to meet your parents.  He's very caring, devoted, loyal, family oriented, close to his family and knows how to treat a woman.

4/5

ARC Review: Wild Thing [Mass Market Paperback]

I've finished "Wild Thing" by Robin Kaye.

Product Description

IF HE THINKS A GROUP OF BEAUTIFUL WOMEN IS A HANDFUL, WAIT UNTIL HE MEETS HER ...

White-water rafting guide Hunter Kincaid is psyched to lead a group of fashion models into the Idaho wilderness for a photoshoot. But it's Toni, the feisty manager of Action Models, who creates enough sparks to start a forest fire...

When rugged outdoorsman meets the original city girl, worlds will definitely collide in Robin Kaye's fresh new series.

My Review:

When Toni Russo was six years old she was left in the wilderness for three days so now she is afraid of doing anything outdoors.  Her boss can't make it Toni is left to manage the photo shoot and she thinks she could handle it if only she could step out of her cabin and not have a panic attack.

Guide Hunter Kincaid plans to distract her and when he notices a book on her dresser called "How to Get a Man to Marry You" he asks his sister to get him a copy so he could become Toni's ideal man.

During their trek through the wildness both fall in love and have a thrilling adventure with some hot and hilarious models.

I love the dynamics between the Kincaid siblings and the scenes between his brother's Fisher and Trapper and the male model. 

3.5/5

She isn't sure if she has time for fairy tales...

Gina Reyez has fought for every bit of her success, and it's about time for things to start going her way. So when Ben makes a proposal that will allow her to take care of her family the way she wants to, she agrees. Besides, a guy this perfect would never be interested in her...right?

My Review:
 
I had a problem with the heroine Gina because she was acting like a PRINCESS the whole time she was with/without Ben.  Ben is from Idaho and she couldn't be bothered to get the state right (because anything  not in NY is all the same). When they arrive in Idaho, Ben tells her that she needs to dress warm when they arrive at his uncle's ranch and she whines the whole time about how she can't wear boots that don't have heels or clothes that don't have any color or isn't designer fashioned.

There is a history why Gina acts this way but Ben doesn't learn that story until almost the end of the book (during a very prolonged period of groveling on his part)

What I don't understand is Ben is in love with Gina. She treated him like crap and really didn't do anything special for him (besides she thought he was gay halfway through the book).

Now Ben on the other hand is very understanding and basically a good guy who wants to keep his parent's ranch in the family by abiding by his uncle's wishes (marrying someone and giving him grandkids)!

3/5
