HER NAUGHTY HOLIDAY (MEN AT WORK #2)

A feast she wasn't expecting! 



Clover Greene would sooner crawl into her oven than host family for Thanksgiving dinner. Yet another annual ritual of too much food, served with a side of criticism over "Clover's Bad Life Choices." This year, she needs to distract them all—with a handsome fake boyfriend. And she has the perfect guy in mind. 



Contractor Erick Fields is the poster boy for sexy single dads, and Clover has been secretly crushing on him for ages. She certainly wasn't expecting Erick to agree to her insane charade…or to add lots of hot, wicked sex to the deal. If they can pull it off, the worst Thanksgiving ever might give them something to be really thankful for!

Liza’s Review:

Her Naughty Holiday was a super sexy and fun story from Tiffany Reisz. I absolutely love my visit back to the Harlequin Blaze line with the Men at Work series from Ms. Reisz.

I absolutely adored both Clover and Erick and Erick's daughter Ruthie as well. I loved that Ruthie was all for setting her dad up with Clover and loved even more that Erick had been crushing on Clover since Ruthie started working for her. I loved that Clover and Erick connected so quickly on every single level, and he immediately stepped up when Clover needed a fake boyfriend to get her family off her back at Thanksgiving. They had amazing chemistry and as I've come to expect from Tiffany Reisz, they had many super hot sex scenes. Loved Erick became Mr. Dirty Talker each and every time, as it only made them being together even hotter. The longer they were together as a fake couple, the more I felt like they had moved into a real couple. 

The only part of this book I didn't love, was when Clover's family showed up for Thanksgiving. They were all royal tools and I just wanted to smack them all upside the head for the way they were treating Clover and how they had always treated Clover. While I totally and completely loved seeing Erick and Clover fall in love, my most favorite part of the book what when Clover finally stood up for herself. I seriously cheered out loud when that happened.

Her Naughty Holiday was another winner from Tiffany Reisz. It was a funny, sexy and emotional story from start to finish. I highly recommend Her Naughty Holiday to anyone who enjoys sexy contemporary romances. I can't wait to read One Hot December, the 3rd book in the Men at Work series as soon as it is released.

HER HALLOWEEN TREAT (MEN AT WORK #1)

Trick…or wicked treat! 

It was a devastating dirty trick—Joey Silvia just found out her boyfriend of two years is married. What. A. Dick. Joey knows her best chance to get over one guy is to get under another. Of course, heading home to her family's remote cabin in Oregon poses some challenges in the "available men" department…until she discovers this cabin comes with its own hot handyman! 

Holy crap, Chris Steffensen. When did her brother's best friend turn into a hard-bodied pile of blond-bearded hotness? He's the perfect Halloween treat—and a surprisingly dirty rebound guy. For a couple of weeks, anyway. Except that Chris has other ideas…like proving to Joey that this blast from the past is a whole lot more than a naughty Halloween hookup.

Liza’s Review:

I absolutely adore Tiffany Reisz and devour each of her new books as soon as they hit my kindle. Her Halloween Treat is the first Harlequin Blaze book from Ms. Reisz and I have to say she totally hit it out of the park with this story.

I loved Joey Silvia pretty much from the moment she hit the page. She has just learned her boyfriend of 2 years was actually married and she is absolutely devastated.  I love that her best friend kept telling her to get on a guy to get over her ex-boyfriend. Of course not only is there a super hot handy man available when she gets to her family's cabin, it is none other than Chris Steffensen, who is her brother Dillon’s best friend. I love a story that reconnects old friends and absolutely loved that Joey was Chris's high school crush. I

The chemistry between Joey and Chris was ridiculously hot. I mean it was steam up my kindle hot at times. I will admit I found Her Halloween Treat way hotter than other Blazes I've read in the past. I loved the closeness they shared even as Joey was completely honest about the fact that she planned to return to Hawaii after her brother's wedding. I also loved how much they reminisced and laughed about both the past and the present. As Joey had only recently learned about her ex, a man making her laugh was pretty fabulous in my opinion.

While the romance between Joey and Chris was amazing, one of my favorite parts of the entire book was Joey's brother's wedding. They had a Halloween wedding with everyone dressed up as characters from 80's movies and tv shows. This is my era and the wedding between Dillon and Oscar had me smiling on every single level. 

I found Her Halloween Treat to be a super fun, fast, and sexy read. I can't wait to read the next 2 books in the Men at Work series, which luckily enough will be released in October and November. Fans of Tiffany Reisz will be excited to get their next fix from her and new-to-her readers will fall in love with her voice.

Oh, Naughty Night!

Hot for the holidays! 

Every Halloween party has its share of eye candy, and journalist Chaz Browning has just spotted a treat he can't resist—a deliciously wicked witch with sparkly red hair and deep, dark eyes that promise all kinds of sexy tricks. She wants no names. No strings. Just a night of lust-filled magic. 

The witch's mask may hide her face, but Lulu Vandenberg knows exactly who Chaz is. They spent most of their childhoods tormenting each other. So the moment Chaz touches her and everything turns to lust, Lulu knows she can never reveal her identity. But desire has a memory of its own, and Chaz has vowed to find his fantasy woman before the holidays end…

I'm a huge fan of Leslie Kelly's books. I was so excited to see she had a holiday story coming out from Harlequin Blaze and was thankful to get a review copy from the publisher. I love holiday stories so much. With Oh, Naughty Night! readers get to have Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas all in one book. 

I absolutely loved Lulu and Chaz's story! I'm a big fan of reunion/friends to lovers story, and Ms. Kelly did it perfectly with Oh, Naughty Night!. Lulu and Chaz grew up next door to one another and while they were never really friends, they were always thrown together as their parents are best friends. Lulu recognizes Chaz as soon as she sees him and rightfully assumes he knows who she is as well. Even as I knew it would come back to bite her, I loved that Lulu wanted to keep her identity a secret from Chaz once she realized he had no idea who she was. 

The chemistry between Lulu and Chaz is smoking hot from the moment they see each other at the Halloween party. Even with the half-truths between them at the beginning, and Lulu continuing to hide who she was, I wanted Chaz and Lulu to work as a couple. Their history of picking on each other as kids just showed me they had each always had feelings for one another. I totally got Chaz being angry when he found out the truth, and have to say the confrontation is one of my favorite and hottest scenes in the book. 

I loved that because of their family history Lulu was especially concerned about how the families would take them being together, especially if they didn't work as a couple. If fit so well with her character and showed while she was really strong, she still could be very vulnerable about those people who are most important in her life.

Oh, Naughty Night! is a fast-pace super fun and sexy read. I highly recommend this story to anyone looking for a sexy holiday romance and feel that Ms. Kelly's fans will be super excited with her newest book.

Lying in Your Arms

Lying in Your Arms is the newest Harlequin Blaze release from author Leslie Kelly. The mass market paperback release was September 17, 2013 and the digital release is set for October 1, 2013. From the back cover.~

Only a firefighter can handle this blaze…  

Madison Reid's engagement is a sham. Her movie-star fiancé is actually her childhood friend…who's gay. When he decides he can't keep living a lie, Madison ends things by leaking a salacious story about a hot—if fictional—affair. Now surrounded by swarms of news-hungry paparazzi, Madison escapes to the beauty of Costa Rica until things cool down…. 

Firefighter Leo Santori is on his honeymoon. Alone. Still torn up about losing his fiancée to another guy, Leo isn't expecting anything from Costa Rica. That is, until Madison steps into his world, rocks it and then lights it on fire. The heat between them is undeniable—and irresistible. But when Madison's scandalous past catches up with them, will it extinguish the flames…or will they both end up burned? 

I was lucky enough to get a review copy through NetGalley thanks to the publisher. Leslie Kelly has been an auto-buy author for me for years, and I was super excited to see we would be back with the Santori family.

I loved Madison and Leo so much. Both are smart and funny characters. Add in the amazing chemistry between them, and I fell for them as a couple pretty much from their first meeting. Let me just say that skinny dipping in your own private pool isn't as easy as one would think in this story. First, Madison walks in on Leo when she is given the wrong room key and when Madison tries to skinny dip in her pool later, there is a huge snake in the pool. I'm betting Madison screamed almost as loud as I would have screamed, yet I still found myself laughing like crazy at both skinny dipping attempts. 

I expect a certain level of sexy from romances by Leslie Kelly. Let me just say she more than delivered with Leo and Madison's story. Their attraction was instant and only got stronger with each time they made love. Lying in Your Arms is full of super sexy times and I loved watching Leo and Madison fall for one another. Of course, Madison's fictional affair comes to light right at the wrong time. I was so mad at Leo for not getting it wasn't true, but also understood after what he went through with his ex-fiancee. Leo is one of those characters I love so much, yet want to smack for not seeing what is really going on. Leo and Madison were able to reconnect and only made me love them more as a couple.

Madison and Leo's story made me want to go back and re-read all of the Santori books again. I was very excited to read we will be getting more of the Santori cousin's stories from Ms. Kelly.

Waking Up to You: A new sizzling Forbidden Fantasy story

Hollywood costume designer Candace Reid would do anything for her gay best friend—even marry him! But before giving up on sex for a while, she needs that last fling. Only, when her injured grandfather asks for her help with his struggling Napa vineyard, her plan for Nooky Time is completely kiboshed….

Then she meets the mouthwateringly hot new groundskeeper, Oliver McKean, and it's a case of instant lust. And damned if Oliver doesn't seem as hungry as she is….

Before long, Candace is gettin' naughty with the hired help. But her secret is bound to come out eventually. And when it does, she'll have to choose between a promise to her dearest friend…and the man whose body she can't live without.

I’m a huge Leslie Kelly fan and was super excited to see she had a new Blaze coming out. I was lucky enough to get a review copy from NetGalley thanks to the publisher.

Waking Up to You is one of my favorite Leslie Kelly books ever. That’s saying a lot since I own every single book she has ever written and have even had to replace a few copies because I’d re-read them so many times.

Candace has agreed to marry her gay best friend, and he even offers to pay for her to go to Paris to hook up to her hearts content, since she will have to go without sex while they are married. The fact that he will give her half his earnings at the end of the marriage is a pretty good deal for her. Of course, once she finds out her grandfather is injured all those plans go right out the window and she heads to Napa to help him out.

Enter Oliver McKean, her grandfather’s groundskeeper. He is oh-so-sexy and Candace can’t get him off her mind. She is instantly attracted to him and the attraction is reciprocated. Candace and Oliver have amazing chemistry throughout the entire book. As with any Leslie Kelly, there are plenty of super sexy scenes and I have to say the “just one kiss” scene was one of the sexiest. However, my most favorite scene in the book is when Candace finds a spider in the kitchen and Oliver must get rid of it. As I have a huge fear of spiders, I totally got her “Green Goblin” description of the spider. Seriously most spiders could totally live in the Forbidden Forest from Harry Potter in my mind.

Oliver and Candace as a couple totally worked for me and I loved how understanding Oliver was when he discovered Candace’s plans to marry her gay best friend, Tommy.

Leslie Kelly gives her reads a funny, sexy, fast-paced story and I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book in this series. We met Candace’s twin sister Madison towards the end of this book and I can’t wait to read her story. 

You can currently purchase both the print and the digital copy directly from Harlequin. If you want to purchase digital copy directly from Amazon, B&N or other online ebook retailers, they will be available for purchase on May 1, 2013.

Let It Snow

Let it Snow is the latest Blaze release which includes 2 Christmas novellas from authors Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque. The publisher is Harlequin. From the back cover.~

Put some heat in your holidays with these scorchin'-hot fairy tales from bestselling authors Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque

The Prince Who Stole Christmas by Leslie Kelly

Between her ne'er-do-well brother and her candy shop, Claire Hoffman has her hands full. But when sexy sparks start flying between Claire and her gorgeous but enigmatic tenant "Phil," Claire wonders if all the chocolate has made her a little Christmas crazy. But what will happen to her fantasy when her dishy fling tells her that, er…he's actually a prince?

My True Love Gave to Me… by Jennifer LaBrecque

Years ago in the town of Good Riddance, Alaska, Gertie and Knox were best friends—until Knox fell under the "spell" of a rather cold, remote woman. But three years later, Knox and Gertie are reunited at the Chrismoose festival…and all it takes is a snowed-in night in a cabin for Gertie to turn Knox's chill into a red-hot blaze of sexstasy!

I got a copy of Let It Snow for review thanks to NetGalley. I’ve been a fan of both Leslie Kelly and Jennifer LaBrecque forever, and was really excited to read their latest stories.

I really loved both The Prince Who Stole Christmas and My True Love Gave to Me…very much. I’ve come to expect fun and sexy reads from the Blaze series as well as both authors, and can only say I wasn’t disappointed at all.

I totally feel for “Phil” right along with Claire in The Prince Who Stole Christmas. It was so wonderful to see someone else step in to take care of Claire since she had been taking care of everyone else her entire life. I also loved the chemistry between Phil and Claire and was excited to see them each finally get their own HEA.

I loved Gertie from the very beginning of My True Love Gave to Me…and wanted her to get her HEA with Knox. I have to say Knox was a bit of a jerk at the beginning of the story, but I gave him a pass since he had just lost his grandmother. Was glad to see him finally wise up and realize the woman of his dreams had been right in front of him all along. Of course, Gertie must decide if she can trust Knox after the way he treated her all those years ago.

Let It Snow is a Blaze release, so it is only available in bookstores for a limited time. However, you can order from your favorite online retailer in either print or digital format.
