Review for No Dogs Allowed by Nicole Hicks

Title: No Dog's Allowed (1 Night Stand Series)

Author: Nicole Hicks

Description: Kenya is a cat on a mission. Go to her job interview in fabulous Las Vegas and manage to wrangle in a vacation. Shouldn’t be too hard to do in Sin City. She hadn’t counted on a hotel full of dogs giving her sneezing fits anytime she leaves her room. How can she get in relaxation, or even meet a guy when every one she encounters brings on an allergy attack?

Desperate and blotchy, she decides to try 1Night Stand. Maybe Madame Eve can set her up with a man who will knock her socks off before she knocks him off his feet? Or at least one she can date without taking a Benadryl.

Kenya finds herself blown away, in a different way, by handsome, charming, explosively sexy Raphael. But they are worse than apples and oranges—they are cat and dog, a huge problem any day of the week, even if she wasn’t allergic to his type

My Thoughts: Kenya goes for a job interview in Vegas only to find the place over-run by mangy, flea bag mutts of all varieties . One night (and a sneeze attack encounter) with one, helps her out by providing a card for 1Nightstand. You have to wonder what Madam Eve has up her sleeve to help this poor kitty. After a suggestion of a drink before the date, Kenya drinks a Kitten’s Delight. Little does she know, the guy she ran into on her way to the date WAS her date. Okay, so I state this all the time, I love the 1 Night Stand series . I loved the cheeky sense of humor Kenya, but also her sensual side. Raphael is sweet, yet a bit insecure, until he sees she doesn't mind his revelation and still wants to jump his bones. I was reading it at work and there was one part that had me fanning myself. They are so hot in the way they play with each other. You wonder during the foreplay if the sex will be just as explosive and it is. Nicole Hicks has definitely not let me down with this newest addition to the 1 Night Stand series.I would definitely recommend this short cheeky, sexy, with a hint of sweet read. Hicks had me begging for more like a good, little girl asking for an extra treat.

Review for Dracula's Kiss by JoAnne Kenrick

Title: Dracula's Kiss

Author: JoAnne Kenrick

Description: Cathela's Office Halloween Ball is a complete bust; she spills out her Dracula's Bride costume and her vamp fetish chases away her boyfriend. Only redeeming feature to the night? Necking multiple shots of Dracula's Kiss--a lush Black Cherry Vodka cocktail--and an interlude with a gorgeous man dressed Gary Oldman style. 

No one comes close to satisfying Alec Murray's needs until he meets Cathela during some lame-ass party for bankers. One taste of her blood, sweet yet darkly dangerous, he knows she's perfect for him. 

A night of Goth bondage is planned for one. For the other, a night of sexual control is a must. A perfect fit. Alec is compelled to reveal his true nature, but can he trust her with his secret

My Thoughts: When asked to review “Dracula's Kiss” I jumped at the chance! Not only because I am a JoAnne Kenrick fan, as well as a 1 Night Stand series fan, but the cover had me lusting to see what was inside. After all tis the season to get lost in one short, steamy read that has a vampire in it. 

Cathela goes to the Halloween work party with some high sexual expectations where her boyfriend is concerned. Only problem, her fella doesn't understand her vampire fetish and bolts. Alec, on the other hand, sees (inserts me, I wish) Cathela and knows she will instantly give into his needs of not only a hot sexual encounter, but blood. Alec is a scrumptiously sexy man in vamp garb and who is actually the REAL deal vampire dressed as Dracula to attract her attention. Might i say he makes some seriously yummy drinks called Dracula's Kiss. Cathela sees him at the bar, mixing a Dracula's Kiss. She can't help bit feel all hot and bothered over Dracula (Alec), but she is still taken so not even a tempting touch or two will lead her astray. I must say I wouldn't mind a Dracula Kiss or two! Once broken up from her boyfriend, Cathela gets in touch of 1 Night Stand with the hopes of seeing her Dracula again and isn't disappointed. Despite Cathela’s fascination with vampires and the chemistry between the two of them, Alec still worries she won't accept him, but then again when you feel the pull of attraction what can you do, but leap. I loved this book! At one point I found myself holding my breath in anticipation, wishing I was Cathela with my back against Dracula's (Alec) chest and his fangs were giving me that sensual bite. For a short read I would recommend it. Who wouldn't want some hot, Scottish vampire to fulfill your fantasy of Dracula? Alec  and Cathela have smoldering hot chemistry in bed (*cough* a blindfold may be involved). JoAnne, once again you left me happy with this short yet sexy read.

Review for Sweet Irish Kiss by JoAnne Kenrick

Title: Sweet Irish Kiss

Author: Joanne Kenrick

 

Description: Shaun Bell, a divorced workaholic, spends all his time tending bar in his Irish pub. He's ready to love again, but the women who visit his bar are only after his infamous Irish cocktails. At the advice of his darts team, over a tanker or two of Beamish, he applies to 1Night Stand to get back into the swing of things and enjoy the company of a woman specially selected for him by Madame Evangeline.

Rachel Taylor has issues. Her father broke her mother’s heart with his cheating and Rachel swore never to let that happen to her, but one ruined relationship after another and she’s realized she's got to get over being closed off to men. Perhaps a one-night stand is just the baby step she needs to begin to build trust again.

A match seemingly made in heaven...until morning rolls around and Shaun can't bring himself to say good-bye. Can he win her over with his secret weapon, a Sweet Irish Kiss, or is Rachel still too scared to love?

 

My thoughts: JoAnne Kenrick, you certainly brought sexy back to that Sweet Irish Kiss! Normally, I would put little snippets of a summary in my thoughts, but the description says it best. The cover is gorgeous and instantly drew my attention. The words, on my Kindle, kept me glued to this sexy 1Night Stand edition. The chemistry between the characters is definitely hot. Rachel has sass, yet you can tell under it there is a vulnerable side. While Shaun, can serve me a drink anytime with his handsome, shy self anytime he wants. Their personalities really come through in this short story. I also love how they burned the sheets up on their one night encounter. I admit I had a few swoon moments close to the end. Joanne, you never fail to displease me with a story yet and I look forward to the next.
