To resist the perfect man, please follow these simple rules:
Step 1: Never make eye contact.
Step 2: Never smile at him.
Step 3: Never agree to anything he suggests.
Or better yet, just follow Lenna Davenport's example and give in to temptation, sparking a whole tangle of passion, forbidden romance, mounting secrets and deceit. She meets her prince charming at her father’s company Christmas party. Problem is he happens to be her dad’s new boss. Worse problem is, her dad totally hates him.
But what Daddy doesn’t know…
Braxton Farris takes over Farris Industries out of family obligation and expects his new employees might resent his youth and inexperience. What he doesn’t anticipate is the level of contempt Tom Davenport carries for him. Nor does he count on falling for Tom’s daughter. When he and Lenna start a secret affair, a disaster of corporate proportions is bound to follow. But to be together, they must decide if the fallout is worth it.

My Thoughts:
I liked both books but How to Resist Prince Charming was my favorite of the two.
Kiss It Better brings us Reed and Sophia. These two work at the same place and secretly desire each other.
When a crime is committed against Reed's sister and he needs time off of work, Sophia decides to help him heal. This brings the two closer one step at a time.
Kiss it Better deals with rape in a way that is believable but not overly dramatic. I am sensitive to these types of issues and often can't finish reading the books that contain them. I didn't have that problem in this case. :-) I liked all of the characters but Sophia was my favorite.
There was plenty of emotion in this book along with romance and sizzle too.
I thought it was pretty darn good. I especially liked the super sweet ending. :-)
How to Resist Prince Charming was full of secrets and attitude, sexy steamy scenes and sweet romance. I was enraptured from the first word till the last. ;-)
Braxton Farris is in charge of his father's company much to the disappointment and upset of many of the workers. His main opposition is Tom Davenport, a long time employee who feels that Braxton isn't old enough to run the company and doesn't have enough experience.
At the company Christmas party, Braxton meets Lenna Davenport and has an instant connection. Too bad that her Dad would Never approve.
Lenna loves her daddy and would never dream of going behind his back or lying to him. However, every time she runs in to Brax, it gets harder and harder to deny their attraction.
Eventually, they give in to their desires and they start to see each other in secret. As their feelings grow stronger, it gets harder and harder to keep the secret but what will happen if Tom finds out?
I was so emotional that I was actually crying after reading certain parts of this book. I really, really liked it. I thought it was terrific. :-)
I received an ecopy of each book in exchange for my honest opinion. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either of these books and I'm looking forward to discovering more books by this talented author.

ReplyDeletethe second one^^...the summary made me smile
It made me smile as well! That's why I ended up reviewing both books. I couldn't decide between them. :-)
DeleteI'm really glad I read them both. They were good and now I have another author to watch for.
^^ a promising debut of month really^^
DeleteIt seems like its tastefully done. So not graphic. I mean its not a good thing but I've read some where it was so bad that I just couldnt do it.
DeleteIt is a really great debut! :)
it's never fun to read about those even when you get only allusions perhaps it's because we are so empatic that just that is too much but when the rest is sweet when the message is positive like in this one that make us want to read it despites our first doubt
DeleteYea I always have alot of trouble with those generally. I read them sometimes but they stick with you. This one doesnt seem like it would do that.
Deletei'm still bothered by the one in mercy thompson series...
Deleteyes that one was brutal.
DeleteThese are wonderfully written and you won't be left with that slimy feeling. They have my stamp of recommendation. :-)
Deleteglad to know Brenda, really rassuring our poor heart ( already in turmoil just with teh summary^^)
DeleteWe definitely trust your opinion. :)
DeleteI wilI definitely have to add these. They seem sweet and emotional in a good way. (obviously not the assult though)
ReplyDelete^^ it was evident ^^ but it's part of what make them sweet the fact that they overcome that
DeleteI completely agree. Shes doesnt let it dictate her life.
DeleteThank you so much for taking the time to read both stories!! I'm so glad you liked them!! I always like that note of hope and overcoming obstacles in a book. No matter how much bad stuff there is in the world, finding a reason to smile always helps. :)
