HER NAUGHTY HOLIDAY is book 2 in the Men at
Work series
by Tiffany Reisz. I'm really loving this "Men at Work"
series by Tiffany Reisz, but HER NAUGHTY HOLIDAY is my
favorite so far. One of my all-time favorite romance
tropes is the pretend relationship that turns real. In
HER NAUGHTY HOLIDAY, Tiffany Reisz takes an often used
and beloved trope and creates a gem. Clover Greene is an
independent and successful small business owner, but
still takes heat from her family over her lack of a love
life and her choice of career. When disaster strikes and
her family invites themselves to her house for
Thanksgiving dinner, her teenage assistant readily offers
up her father, Erick Fields, as fake boyfriend
material.
I loved HER NAUGHTY HOLIDAY from beginning to end. Erick
and Clover have a lot in common, they are both
entrepreneurs and both have a strong affection for
Erick's irrepressible daughter Ruthie. Much of why I
relished reading HER NAUGHTY HOLIDAY is because of Erick
and his charm and sense of humor. Things between Clover
and Erick become intimate quickly, but because of the
comfortable banter that develops between the two, there
is a wonderful sensuality and sense of fun rather than
any awkwardness. Erick's ability to pinpoint what Clover
needs, and the right way to provide what she needs, makes
him a sexy hero with maturity. The bulk of the story
focuses on Erick and Clover's new relationship and all
the ways they get to know each other, both sexually and
emotionally. The friction between Clover and her family
comes to a head at one point, and I like how Clover
finally expresses her hurt feelings from all the negative
and, unintentionally, cruel comments made by her family
members. This moment provides a sense of catharsis, and I
love how Erick backs Clover up and adds his own two
cents.
HER NAUGHTY HOLIDAY is a romance to savor and be seduced
by. Even though they haven't been involved for that long,
Tiffany Reisz does an excellent job of capturing the
dazzling attraction and close connection that develops
between Erick and Clover. I look forward to reading the
next sizzling romance by Tiffany Reisz.
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!
