Wild Rendezvous by Victoria Blisse

This story is written in the first person. It is also the third book in the “Rendezvous” series.

Leanna comes home from work to find Joe cooking for her. Their daughter, Lucy, is now starting to talk. We see them sharing the meal together. You also have to feel sorry for Joe because he seems to be having a hard time with things. And Victoria finally gives us what we wanted, after reading the first two books; they are going to make their relationship permanent.

It’s good to see that Joe still has his naughty side. I’m so jealous Leanna. What a way to spend an afternoon together. You may also get some ideas when you read this. Leanna also made me proud at one point in the story – you go girl!!

While Victoria hooks us into more of Leanna and Joe’s romance, she also gives us a life lesson. And Leanna is the perfect character to teach it to us. This was a great way to end the trilogy. It’s a trilogy where there is a happy ending. And Leanna and Joe celebrate their love in the best possible way. Now that all three books are out, you will want to go back and read them one after the other.

I give this book 4 1/2 stars.

Making It Real by Victoria Blisse

This is told in the first person.

Mary is seen posting in a forum called ThirtySomething. She finds someone that intrigues her, William Blake. We see that Mary is part of the wait staff at a local café and William is a young successful businessman. She’s also trying to write a novel.

While trying to write, and post to the forum, Mary has a fantasy about William – it’s very hot and sexy. We find that their “relationship” is long distance – she from England and him from America. They’ve been corresponding for a while and then she talks him into having some cyber-sex – don’t knock it if you haven’t tried it. Victoria writes one very hot scene there. It gets your own imagination going. She also surprised me in how she ended the scene.

There are a couple of sentences in the story where Mary talks about being an author. I almost think that this is actually Victoria talking. As a reader, we always wonder about the author that we’re reading.

There is a spanking scene within the story. If spanking is not your scene, don’t let that stop you from reading this story. It is very tastefully done. It will not offend. In any story that I have read of Victoria’s, her sex scenes are never over the top and don’t leave you wondering if that is even possible.

You will be surprised by a lot of the cyber-sex scenes by William and Mary’s alter egos. They will feed your romantic and hidden erotic side. It’s also interesting to see a little role reversal – you’ll understand as you read exactly what I mean.

Victoria writes in a scene where Mary and William have a picnic on a bed. It’s a very decadent scene. What a way to have a romantic interlude. It also may enrich your love life. This is also something I love about Victoria’s work; she certainly knows how to feed her reader’s imaginations.

She’s a great storyteller. Most of her female characters are Rubenesque but they are written for the women that are currently out there. They are not the thin model types that none of us can aspire to. We all have to love our curves.

Even though this is a story set around Christmas time, you could definitely change the setting to Valentine’s Day. It’s a story that you could read at any time of the year. Victoria also gives us a very surprising ending – totally unexpected. You will definitely want to read this story.

I give this book 4 1/2 stars.

Snowed in at School by Victoria Blisse

This story is written in the first person.

Miss Lucy Conrad is seen at a school fair. Mr. Gary Stephenson comes over to her booth. Is he flirting with her? Are the feelings mutual? Is it just the feelings of the holiday or will the feelings last? You will have to definitely read this story to find out.

Lucy has a very interesting fantasy that involves the very handsome Mr. Stephenson. Lucy sees herself as very curvy and Mr. Stephenson is way out of her league. Or is it just her imagination?

Neither Gary or Lucy realize that they share the same fantasy. As you read, you’ll see that they start to feel comfortable around each other. On Christmas Eve they have a great interaction at the school. Who says that romance can’t happen anywhere?

I never used to like reading stories that were written in the first person. But I’m starting to change my mind. It must be that in the past, I never found the right authors. Victoria gives the reader a treat with this one.

In most instances, when books are written in the first person it is from the viewpoint of one of the characters. Victoria gives us the viewpoint of both Lucy and Gary. I also love how Victoria’s curvy women are made out to be both sensual and sexy and that there are hunky men that love them.

I love how Victoria’s characters let us know how much pleasure they received from the other. There is mild spanking involved in this story. The scenes aren’t vigorous so you should feel very comfortable in reading this great holiday love story. And I would recommend reading this one every year.

Victoria again leaves us wanting more. What happens to Lucy and Gary after the holidays are over? Christmas is a time of hope. I hope Lucy and Gary have lots of great times ahead.

If you go over to Victoria’s site, http://www.victoriablisse.co.uk, you will find out that this story is also an audiobook. I would love to hear that one. Although I probably wouldn’t want to listen to it in the car – it would be way too distracting.

I give this great holiday read 4 1/2 stars.

Christmas Spirit Warms the Heart by Victoria Blisse

Jodi works at a toll booth.  She thinks of herself as “a weird loner”.  Books are her friends – for a reader of romance that can’t be all bad.  She’s willing to help out anyone that needs it.

One of those people that she helps is a really hot guy.  His name is Mike and he gives Jodi some nice fantasies.  Mike works for the children’s hospice.  As we read, we find that they have books in common.  Then they talk about Christmas.

Do they have a connection that they are going to take advantage of?  You will just have to keep reading to find out.  There’s another reason to keep reading – Mike has a secret.  What can that be?

For those readers that still have the Christmas spirit, this book will be for you.  Victoria also makes us laugh – when Mike and Jodi get caught in a snuggle.  I also love how they celebrate Christmas – I’m not telling so you’ll just have to read the story.  It’s not like any holiday story I’ve ever read before.

I’m glad to see that Victoria has another winner with this story.  This is a story that you will want to read every year at Christmas time.  A very sensual read for a cold day.

This holiday story gets 5 stars.
