Tiffany and Blaine are my least favourite characters from the whole series. I found Tiffany’s prancing around in her costumes as bit silly. The first few chapters opened with too many sex scenes IMO, I would have liked to see a build up in their romance without the sex. However the rest of the characters Linda and Big Mac, Maddie and Mac, Grant and Stephanie, Laura and Owen, Janey and Joe, Caroline and Seamus and introducing Kara and Dan held this book together. I didn’t dislike Blaine and Tiffany completely it’s just for me they are not my favourite. Looking forward to book eight.

A little more explicit,

I think this book was a little more explicit than some of the previous books, but, I felt that was in keeping with the storyline. Tiffany opened a sexy lingerie story that had a back room of "sexual enhancement" products. I have been waiting for Blaine and Tiffany's story since the kitchen scene that occurred after she handcuffed herself to her soon to be ex.

Naughty and Nice was not well received on the island when it first opened, and gradually people began to frequent it. I thought the steaminess was appropriate to the story. The storyline represented both people supportive of the sexy store, and people against it. If your personal preference is to avoid a book with sexier scenes, you might want to take a pass on this one.

My problem, (being perfectly honest, this was not the writer's problem), was in trying to keep up with all of the couple's. It had been a while since I read some of the earlier books, so I spent some time trying to remember their storylines. Once I remembered the who, what, when, where, and why, it was smooth sailing. It was also nice to revisit the couple's and get an update on their lives.

Each book is a standalone. I would recommend that if this is the first book you read in the series, that you read Maid for Love, Book 1, next. I think the Gansett Island series is more enjoyable if you read the books in order.

THANK GOD FORCE PUBLISHED TIFFANY AND BLAINE'S STORY NEXT. Seriously I've been dying for their story since she introduced that hot scene with them several books back. I think of all 7 books in the series I was anticipating this story for these characters the most. With my expectations so high I was hoping I wouldn't be disappointed and I sure as hell wasn't. You'd think after 7 books in a series that it would lose its "freshness" factor. If anything, the more Force writes the Gansett series, the better it gets.

This is another fantastic story in the Gansett Island Series.

Although its one I've not re-read as much as some of the others. Yet I don't know why. As it is such a great story, and Tiffany and Blaine are super hot together and do make a really great couple. And it is extremely enjoyable to read. Plus it's sweet and funny too. And anyone who is a fan of the series is sure to enjoy it too.

  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? Yes
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

Tiffany Sturgil is finally ready to open the doors to her new lingerie store, Naughty & Nice, and her divorce is just about final. It's a new, fresh start for her but not without controversy as Gansett Island may not be ready for her audacious new business. But, Police Chief Blaine Taylor is most definitely ready to revisit (and resume) their last encounter as soon as the ink is dry on those divorce papers.

This was such a fun story as Tiffany's got lots of verve and nerve and uses some provocative and innovative advertising approaches that test even the adventurous Blaine. Their relationship is über sexy and I loved how it developed.

There are many others featured but this time they don't detract from Tiffany & Blaine. I love the updates about previous characters (why else have them be connected?) and Seamus & Carolina's was my favorite. Burgeoning new relationships are introduced and there's a pretty serious event featured as well. Sounds busy but it really worked. This is my favorite to date.

Nice read if not a little confusing at times as to whose story we were actually in... but good nontheless.
