ARC Review: Spin the Bottle by Rhian Cahill

Spin the Bottle

by Rhian Cahill

(Party Games # 4)

Who knew that one game of Spin the Bottle can make two people confront their feelings for one another? This is exactly what happened with long time friends Lilli and Mackenzie.

Lilli McDermott is the hottest model in Australia. Her modeling career has taken her places she only dreamed of and has also made her a very rich woman. But riches and exotic places wasn’t all that Lilli wanted. So she pursued the two things in life that she has always wanted, her own fashion and perfume label and her long time crush, Mackenzie Harris. And nothing will stop her from what she wants. 

Mackenzie is best friends with Lilli’s brother Lachlan. He works for the McDermott family and lives with the McDermott siblings, which makes it that much more difficult for Mac to steer clear of Lilli and his feelings for her. It’s hard to stay respectful to Lachlan when Lilli is ruthless with her teasing. But enough is enough, and he’s going to show Lilli what happens when you play with fire.

After playing a round of spin the bottle at a party Lilli threw together, Mac can’t seem to keep his emotions in check and Lilli doesn’t seem to mind. One minute Lilli and Mac are rockin on each other in the hallway and the next minute they’re arguing. It’s a cycle that they put themselves through because they just don’t know what to do with all their pent up energy for each other. Lilli and Mac have great chemistry; it’s so great that at times it makes them act like teenagers.

I felt like I needed more interaction between not only the two of them but with Lachlan as well which made me wish this was a full length book. I did however like a lot of the hot scenes and the way Mac just melts for Lilli. 

All in all, if you’re looking for a quick read with hot little scenes, this will definitely be a good read for you.

ARC Review: Twister by Lexxie Couper

Twister

by Lexxie Couper

(Party Games # 3)

I really wanted to read the rest of the series before reading this one.  Not sure if there's any tie-in or not, however this book works absolutely great as a standalone!

As the series name implies, this book is all about a sexy game of Twister at a party and how things heated up from there.

Lachlan is the king of his own empire.  He is a media mogul and businessman.  And he does not date models.  When his sister throws him a party he finds himself face to face with the model that covered his walls as a teenager.  Kole.  We've all been there, the infatuation and crush.  Now he has the opportunity to act on it.

But Kole is no longer Kole.  She left that life behind, retired and became a low key photographer.  She is now simply Cameron.  She has been through a lot and is a bit damaged but she knows she wants Lachlan.

They both have issues to overcome and I liked that they didn't let those issues drag them down.  They are both vulnerable and strong when needed.  And yes, very sexy!  There's even some sex at the high school football field at night ;)

For a short story, this gives us all the insight we need into the characters, has some drama, plenty of sexy and a happy ending.  What more can we ask?  Oh yeah, and the  hint for the next book, a least I can only hope, with Lachlan's sister Lillian.  Can't wait for more party games!
