Summary:

She doesn't know a single thing about relationships...

Unemployed sportswriter Jessie James plans to make a killing writing a bestselling romance novel. She's never read one, but really, how hard can it be? Moving cross-country to a borrowed house in Idaho, Jessie starts her research with the first gorgeous guy she runs into...

Luckily, he knows everything... 

Sports doctor Fisher Kincaid notices Jessie right away - the transplanted Easterner sticks out like a sore thumb in the small town. When he discovers she's researching attraction and romance, he graciously offers himself as a test subject. That's when everything starts to go wrong, and they both find out how much they need a few good lessons in love...

 

 

My Thoughts on the Book:

If you didn't know, I'm a big fan of Robin Kaye's books & this series. And once more she has written another great book that I fell in love with. With every new book in the series, I'm thinking "This is my most favourite!", and once again that happened.

I love the Kincaid family - they're all great characters, really fun & charming, and yeah - hilarious, you gotta love them all. And this book was just so funny, I laughed out loud again & again, yeah I'm laughing right now thinking about some of the scenes - hilarious. The biggest surprise was Karma - Fisher's sister, now I can't wait for her book :) I wonder if she'll end up with Andrew? Call Me Wild was not only fun, but also really sweet & romantic & charming, and I loved it so much.   

The story goes like this: Jessie loses her job, so she decides to write a romance novel, she thinks that will be really easy to do, so she can make some quick cash, and she moves temporarily to Idaho to do that. There she meets Fisher - first while jogging, then at Starbucks, at the store, etc, they keep meeting again & again and she thinks that he's stalking her. That's not actually true, because both Fisher & Jessie are people that stick to their routines, and they seem to do the same things at the same time - perfect for each other, right? ;) Anyway, not to go into more details, but it's really fun story, with lots of funny situations and misunderstandings & a big part in the story plays Karma. The way she played her brothers - so funny & I loved it :)

Fisher is amazing character, a doctor, and yeah he's hot, but he's also so sweet. I really liked Jessie, too. She doesn't believe in love or romance, she thinks it doesn't exist, so Fisher decides to prove her wrong. She cracked me up - some of the assumptions she made about Fisher - hilarious. And the book she wrote - wow. That part wasn't a surprise, I was expecting it, but I loved it. And the chemistry between them was sizzling & I loved their banter.     

Of course there are some really hot & sizzling scenes between Jessie & Fisher, after all it's an adult contemporary romance novel, but the biggest reason I love Robin Kaye's books are the relationships between family & friends. The way she makes you connect to the characters & love them & care for them - that's the best part, that's why Robin Kaye is one of my 2 most favourite adult contemporary romance authors (if you'd like to know, the other one is Julie James). 

Anyway, I highly recommend this novel to every romance fan. Definitely one of my favs & a book I'll read again & again. Also, I have to mention that I'm not a fan of the cover, but thankfully it was changed to a different one & better one later, but since this was the cover on the galley, of course I'm using this one ;) So, if you still haven't tried Robin Kaye's Domestic Gods series, I highly recommend them!

 Summary:

Whitewater-rafting guide Hunter Kincaid lands his dream job–guiding sportswear models through Idaho's rugged wilderness for a photo shoot. When he meets Toni Russo, the goth New York manager of Action Models, there are enough sparks to set the forest ablaze.
When Hunter finds Toni's book on how to marry the man of your choice, he studies it as a joke. Before long Hunter realizes he's never cared enough for a woman to bother working this hard to get her. But the last man in the world this city girl wants is a Survivor Man wannabe...

 My thoughts on the book:

Robin Kaye did it again! Every new book of hers I read, I'm thinking "This one is the best!" & this time that was the case, too! That's the reason why she's one of my favourite authors of adult contemporary romances. First of all, I fell in love with the Kincaid family in Yours for the Taking & I was looking forward to reading their books & this one is the first. As always, it was lots of fun, with really fun dialogues, great chemistry between the main characters & with really fun & lovable characters. I just couldn't stop reading it, had a smile plasted on my face most of the time & now it's one of my favorites & I highly recommend it!

Series: Domestic Gods, Book 4

Summary:

Gina is convinced that he is either gay... or her perfect match

He might be too good to be true...

Ben Walsh should be single. Handsome and wealthy, Ben is equally at home in Idaho where he grew up and in Manhattan where he's now an art dealer. Suave and successful with impeccable taste, he normally has women beating down his door. But the one woman he wants can't be convinced that he's for real...

And she doesn't have the luxury of believing in 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 thoughts on the book:

I loved this book! I love all the books in the series, but this one the most & I think that this one is the best (also, it has the loveliest cover). Since i found out that this one will be with Ben & Gina, two characters we've met in the other books, I couldn't wait to get my hands on it & it didn't disappoint! It was really fun book. I loved both Ben & Gina as characters and their banter & chemistry! I liked all the side characters, too. They were just so much fun & I can't wait to read their books! I highly recommend it!

Summary:

Rich, the epitome of "anti-domestic," can't cook to save his life, and his idea of cleaning his apartment is to invite his mother over. But he's ready to settle down, and he can't stop thinking about the ex-girlfriend who got away. When he notices that his soon-to-be-married friends cooked and cleaned their way into their women's hearts, he asks his friend Becca to help transform him into a nurturing man to win back his ex.
Rich is the only guy who's taken the time to know Becca for herself. She decides she'll give him the makeover he's asking for, though she'll be damned if she's going to turn him into a domestic god for another woman. She wants Rich for herself, but how can she convince him that her kitchen and her bedroom are the only domestic locales he desires? 

My thoughts on the book:

This is the third & final book in the Domestic Gods series. I loved this one, too. I actually loved all the books in the series. It's now one of my favorite romance series. Robin Kaye's writing is really fun & I'll definitely read her books in the future. If you want fun & fast-paced romances, than I recommend it!

Summary:

He sure would love to have someone to take care of...
Dr. Mike Flynn's single mom taught him early how to cook and clean, and there's nothing like vacuuming or doing dishes to help a guy relax. Annabelle Ronaldi is an artist without a domestic bone in her body. Since her fiance's death, she can't paint, and life looks hopeless.
Until the day after her sister's wedding, when she wakes up with Mike next to her in bed, and then she's really beside herself - because the handsome stranger is a dead ringer for her dead fiance.
After their mind-blowing one night stand, Mike is sure this is the woman he wants to take care of forever, but she acts like she's seen a ghost.

Summary:

Rosalie Ronaldi doesn't have a domestic bone in her body ...
All she cares about is her career, so she survives on take-out and dirty martinis, keeps her shoes under the dining room table, her bras on the shower curtain rod, and her clothes on the couch ...
Nick Romeo is every woman's fantasy - tall, dark, handsome, rich, really good in bed, AND he loves to cook and clean ...
He says he wants an independent woman, but when he meets Rosalie, all he wants to do is take care of her. Before too long, he's cleaned up her apartment, stocked her refrigerator, and adopted her dog ...
So what's the problem? Just a little matter of mistaken identity, corporate theft, a hidden past in juvenile detention and one big nosy Italian family too close for comfort ...

My thoughts on the book:

I loved this book. I loved Nick & Rosalie as characters. I even loved Rosalie's dog Dave. It was fast , fun & really enjoyable contemporary romance that it was hard to put it down. This is the 1st book in the Domestic Gods series & I can't wait to read the other two. This one goes on my favorites pile. I definitely recommend this book!
