Oh, how I loved this book! Such a great story of judging a book by it’s supposed cover! The story of CC and Brant is fantastic read! The characters are well developed, and it gives more back story into previous characters mentioned. The friendships are very easy to relate to and the women building each other up is lovely to read and visualize. I want to be friends with these people and live in their town! The old people humor cracks me up and makes me think that I haven’t been around enough of them, LOL This was a fun book to end my year reading! Looking forward to reading more books from the Parker Lake area soon!
Like the first 2 instalments in this series, this book is equally as emotionally invested yet humorous. I love this writing style and just wish it wouldn’t finish. Brant and Colleen have great chemistry and had me right there with them as their story unfolded- laughing, crying and everything in-between. This series could be read as stand alones but I would definitely recommend starting at book one, its worth it.

Such a fun, light-hearted, enjoyable read! Perfect balance of both Paranormal and Romance for me. Katrina and Gabe had cute yet sexy chemistry, the plot was well rounded and enjoyable, and the overall writing style from this author had me finish the book in one sitting. After some heavy reads, it was nice to read a romance book with some laughs- definitely recommend.

This was such a fun read! This Author truly does paranormal humor like its nobody’s business. Each story has you laughing, swooning, and wishing you had your own supernatural life to lead! This story introduces us to Katrina the Succubus and Gabe the Incubus. Katrina is doing all she can to be free from Hell and escape Satan by denying her Succubus ways and being abstinent. Gabe was freed from Hell by Satan, but has now become more peace and love than sex. A very unlikely pair with a humorous rivalry, but fierce attraction.

This was a entertaining light read. I am new to this authors work and I truly enjoyed it. This gives a fun twist to dating apps. With demons and satan and spice. This gives a comedic twist to the supernatural that has you rooting for love. It was great to receive a happy ending in the twist an turns of the demonic world. Who doesn’t love spice time and a good dating app. Taking place in New Orleans it gives a world built on the enticing and the devilish. I would easily recommend this to anyone looking for a new light story that brings your favorite genre of paranormal romance to life.

I had not read this amazing author, until this book, but I am so glad that I got started with this treat. This was the perfect book to end the year with. I loved their writing style, and how the story progressed, the characters were wonderful and everything flowed so well! Loved it!
For me it was each of the characters and the personalities they withheld that made me fall in love so quick. Each had a heart, and different emotions as well as their own zest to what ever level spiciness you would consider them to have. The engagement was very strong with this novel I found, I was hooked very early on and the curiosity and want to know more just continued to rise more and more! As said, flowed through ever so nicely. I really enjoyed the technique and word play of the writing!
Katrina brought on the spice oh so well. And Gabe, his hotness alone could make my kindle swear! I loved his determination and how things seemed to go along and progress between the two of them. It seemed at times they both got more than they bargained for! Loved their chemistry and attractions on every level they had for one another! Really great read and absolutely freaking loved this book and author!
Loved this book, as I have hoped I have made clear. I loved the writing of the author and how the story flowed. The author has now gained a consistent stalker haha. Happy to say this is a must read for sure1 I do very much recommend this book and author highly! Not one to be swiped left!

I thoroughly enjoyed this latest book in this series of paranormal romantic comedies. It can be read as a standalone story, however, I recommend reading the previous books as they are a fun read. This story is a lighthearted, funny romance featuring ‘supes’, with an enemies to lovers theme. Succubus Katrina is trying to ignore her demonic urges so that Satan will eventually forget about her, and then she will be free, this means no sex! Katrina spends her time helping the ‘supes’ of New Orleans with their dating by introducing, ‘Swipe Right to Bite’, “the best and only hook-up app for the supernatural”. Then Gabe, an insufferable incubus turns up in Big Easy and ruins Katrina’s plans. Although Katrina tries to get rid of Gabe, she can not deny their instant attraction, and Gabe, feeling the same, is not going to leave easily. I loved the characters, as usual they are unique, likeable and relatable, making me feel engaged in their stories. The chemistry between Katrina and Gabe really came across in the story and led to some steamy scenes, eventually! As usual the descriptive narrative really brought the supernatural setting to life and I felt fully immersed in Big Easy. The great world building, intriguing characters and the funny, romantic storyline all made this a page turner which I definitely recommend.

Having read and enjoyed the previous books in this series I was looking forward to this novel and I was not disappointed. It was nice to be back in the small town of Parker and with the group of friends who live there. This was Colleen “CC” Chandler‘s story, having always lived in her small home town, working as a hair stylist, her unstable upbringing had left her lacking in confidence. When Brant Billings accepts a job in Parker, Oklahoma as a nurse practitioner at the towns clinic his plan is to only stay for three years, to earn enough to pay back his student loans. Being raised as a foster kid he’s used to moving on, however, that was before he met CC, the only problem was she seemed to be avoiding him. Meanwhile, CC feels that she is ‘only’ a hairdresser and thinking that Brant is much smarter than her and will only be around for a short time, she try’s to ignore the instant attraction she has for him and avoids him. Brant and CC are brought together when CC’s friends buy her a date with Brant at the towns eligible bachelor auction. I was cheering the couple on, hoping they would be able to overcome their pasts and get the HEA they both deserved. I loved CC and Brant and how their relationship developed over time. The chemistry between them really came across in the writing. As usual, the setting came alive by the descriptive narrative and I felt immersed in small town living, in Parker. I enjoyed ‘catching up’ with characters from the previous novels, however, it can be read as a standalone story. An enjoyable and engaging read.

5-stars
Wow! This author amazes me time and time again, she’s one of my all-time favourites. She’s one of those one click authors for me, I will read anything by her without question!
This is the sixth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series, a series that can easily be read as standalones but I would highly recommend the whole thing anyway because this is honestly one of the best paranormal series I’ve ever read.
The characters in this storyline are so captivating and were so easy to connect with, I found myself laughing along with them and giggling at their witty remarks. I was honestly entertained the whole way through, so much so that I read it in one sitting, I couldn’t bring myself to stop reading as I was so immersed in the story forgetting all about the real world.
I highly highly recommend this book to anyone looking for their next one of a kind comedic paranormal read!

Swipe Right to Bite is a short and sassy romantic comedy among demons. Our sexy succubus Katrina is determined to send Gorgeous Gabe the incubus packing to whatever Hell he came from, but is sidetracked by his luscious form. As a sex demon on the wagon, she is trying her mightiest to keep everyone’s clothes on, but the temptation for both is more than they bargained for (literally). The humour is very tongue-in-cheek and the witty puns are rampant in this story, similar to other works by Pulkinen. If you have read and loved any of her other works, you will find this book just as delicious. Fans of quirky humour and steamy romance will enjoy this saucy story.

Swipe Right to Bite is the sixth book in the New Orleans Nocturnes series by Carrie Pulkinen. This is such a fun, sexy, and humorous Paranormal Romance. I have loved every instalment in this wonderful series- which just seems to get better and better with each new addition. This book was a particularly fun read. With her popular dating app for the supernatural trending in New Orleans, Katrina is enjoying her success. Her plans are coming together nicely- but with her freedom still at stake she will need to maintain her fasting vow- not so easy for a succubus with quite a healthy appetite. But as fate would have it, she is soon thrown a curveball, in the form of a sexy incubus named Gabe. The sparks fly and things get quite heated- making for an intriguing and very fun read. Highly recommended! Enjoy!

Katrina and Gabe are hilarious and their chemistry is insane! This book is so great. Not only does it have romance and the supernatural, it’s laugh out loud hilarious. Katrina and Gabe are each pissed off at the other when they first cross paths but there’s also an undeniable attraction between them. They both have a past they’re trying to escape from and the devil doesn’t want either of them to be happy. Watching them both work to best the devil was great and watching them fall in love was even better. The ending was unexpected and so perfect it really made me smile. I’m definitely going to be on the lookout for more books from this author.

Definitely entertaining and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Swipe Right to Bite is a paranormal romantic comedy. A story of a succubus vs an incubus, satan two sex demons. What could be more entertaining than that?! Katrina, who has been in New Orleans for just under a century, has her own Tinder type app for supernatural beings to have some fun. Choosing to abstain so Satan will set her free, she uses the apps sexcapades to keep her succubus in check. Until that is Gabriel enters her turf preaching love is more powerful than sex. The dynamic between Gabriel and Katrina is entertaining as best, both hoping to dupe the other into falling in love. Does it work? Does it backfire on them? There’s also the problem of Satan who will never let Katrina go, despite making a deal with Gabriel for her freedom. Satan doesn’t actually think he will succeed. Is he right? Does Gabriel fail at the task of making Katrina fall in love? You want to laugh out loud while reading? Pick up this book! You’ll also get all the answers to the questions above along the way!

This author never fails to entertain me. I have read all of the books in this series and each one has been great. Katrina is a recovering succubus who is trying to earn her freedom from the Devil but being his favorite, this will be no easy task! Katrina has come up with a dating app for supernaturals to hook up. All is running great until Gabe, a celibate succubus rolls into town to give love lessons.
This was a very quick read for me and it was almost over too soon. The writing was fantastic and all of the characters were easily relatable. As always, I am looking forward to the next installment in the New Orleans Nocturnes series.

I was so excited to get to read another book in this series, especially one about this particular character. I had been looking forward to her story from the moment she was introduced. The author yet again delivers on a fantastic book that just highlights why this is not only one of my favourite series, but why she has firmly become one of my favourite authors. I could not stop reading this book, I had to read it in one sitting. It was as entertaining and witty as I expected and is a book I thoroughly enjoyed. If you haven’t read this series yet I would urge you to do so immediately. This is a brilliant book from start to finish.

As soon as I saw this new book by this author it was click and get asap. This author does paranormal romance comedy brilliantly! There has not been one single thing that this author has written that I have not loved. The New Orleans Nocturne series is a world full of crazy and quirky characters that you just can’t help but love. I really enjoy the tongue in cheek witty banter and humour that has me laughing out loud. This series just gets better with each new book. It’s always pandemonium in this fantasy world and this book is no different with sexy and sassy succubi, hot as sin incubi along with panty melting drama, and a multitude and variety of demons in the Big Easy. You never know what you are going to get and that makes it a magical tale. She’s trying to stay under the wire so she can have what she is longing for but when a hot as sin incubi struts into town he apparently has other ideas. Reviewed by @jennadb

This book has it all. It has humor, steamy scenes, character growth, and a happy ending. The author takes her characters on a journey in this series. I read all of the books leading up to this one before starting this one. I noticed that all of the authors characters go on a journey. The journey always ends up with a trip to hell. In this book, there are a few trips to hell for the characters. The main characters in this book are trying to recover from their time in hell. It is a laugh out loud book that takes you through the ores of the characters. It is a day read and you won’t want to stop until you are finished. It is a HUGE page turner. If you haven’t read the other books in the series, it is not necessary to do but will help you understand the secondary characters in the book. . I was able to completely immerse myself in the book because of the way the author writes. The descriptive writing and amazing dialogue keeps you wanting to the turn the pages. It makes you want to keep going. Add in the humor and the steamy love scenes and this book has become a contender in my top 20 books of 2021. This is a must read if you just want to clear your mind and take an escape into the crazy supernatural realm.

This is an author that I have enjoyed reading from the first book I have picked up. This is one of my favorites yet in this series. I highly suggest reading all the previous books in this series to help your enjoyment of this series and this author. I enjoyed being pulled into the story from the beginning. The characters are creative, unique as well as made the story pop. They are connectable and bring the story to life. They made the story fast paced and hard to put down. This is a paranormal romance story that made me laugh throughout. I enjoyed the chemistry between Gabe and Katrina. Their growth as well as the plot throughout the story is great and left me wanting to know more. A great story that is worth the pick up. I really enjoyed this book and highly recommend it

This story brings out the giggles if you’ve ever used a dating app. I can relate to the whole story here and I had my husband wondering if I had lost it. What a fun story! Gabe and Katrina start out on an amazing adventure. Nothing like starting out trying to put each other out of business. Can they come to a happy medium? I’m not telling. You’ll have to read it to find out. And while you’re at it, pick up the rest of the series, this is a quick read series that will give you serious cases of the giggles. Well-written and I love how it all flows so together so smooth. The characters are just so like the rest of us (only not quite human). The struggle is real, no matter what you are. I wish I could give this more than 5 stars. I am highly recommending it to all.

Succubus Katrina is fasting for her freedom. If she can ignore her demonic urges long enough, Satan will eventually forget about her, and she’ll be free.
Just because she isn’t getting it on doesn’t mean she can’t help the supes of New Orleans do the pants-off dance-off.
Introducing Swipe Right to Bite, the best and only hook-up app for the supernatural. Business booms from day one, and the horizontal tango becomes the most popular dance in the Big Easy.
Until Gabe, the insufferable incubus, shows up and ruins everything.
There isn’t enough room in this town for two fornicating fiends, and Katrina is determined to send this guy packing, no matter how hot a fire he lights in her nether regions.
But Gabe has a few tricks up his sleeve, and he won’t make it easy on her. The question is, how hard will she make it on him?
Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance author who has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice.
Before she decided to turn her love of the written word into a career, Carrie spent the first part of her professional life as a high school journalism and yearbook teacher. She loves good chocolate and bad puns, and in her free time, she likes to read, drink wine, and travel with her family

Unlikely To Stay is the third book in the Parker Lake series by Olivia Sherwood . This book can be read as a stand alone, but I would highly recommend reading this series in order. The Parker Lake series is one of my top ten series I have read. The characters are believable and down to earth. This book features CC, who is the town beautician who has a confidence problem and Brant, who is a nurse practitioner that moved to Parker Lake to get his student loans paid off. Both are afraid of commitment, but the chemistry between the two is off the charts. Will they be able to overcome their issues, or will they go their separate ways? I highly recommend this book, series and author. Review by @sunbarn
Unlikely to Stay by Olivia Sherwood is the third book in the Parker Lake series and is centred around Brant and Colleen or CC as she is know by and is a great romantic story.
The story is a fast flowing, well written story which brought theses to characters to life, I love a book that you can just get lost into and Unlikely to stay is a great story to do this with. I enjoyed all the characters that were in this book but I especially enjoyed the chemistry between the two main characters Brant and Colleen.
Brant is a nurse practitioner and Colleen or CC is a hairdresser within the town of Parker, both have serious crushes on each other but are not prepared to admit just yet that until one night CC’s friend’s decide to bid in the bachelor auction and buy CC a date with the handsome Brant.
They hit it off and the rest is history, but will there pasts be the ending to the new relationship they have created or will it be too late for it to be over. I can’t wait for the next book in this series and hope these wonderful characters are included in the other books. I would recommend this series to my friends.

Heartbreak, healing and humour It was so good to be back in the small town of Parker and getting to know Breckin and Griff. Their story was heartfelt and beautiful. The author’s delivery is amazing with a brilliant mix of humour, romance, drama and real life issues. This can be read as a stand-alone but it is so worth reading book 1 to get to know the town and the people more. I am really looking forward to CC and Brant’s story in book 3.

I absolutely could not put this book down! I love this story so much. Ever since I read the first book in this series, I’ve been waiting for CC to meet the right man and have her chance to fall in love. Even though CC comes across as tough and not caring what other people think, she’s actually really vulnerable and doesn’t have much self confidence at all. She thinks there’s no way that a hot man that went to college to be in the medical field would ever be interested in her. She underestimates herself and how amazing she is constantly. Brant is dealing with his own demons from his past and he falls so fast for CC. I love how he picks a special nickname that’s sweet and just for him to call her and Memaw is back in this one and hilarious as ever! I can’t say enough good things about this sweet amazing romance. It’s one that’s definitely not to be missed!

I was excited to get the next book in the series. It was a great 5 star read. I really enjoyed the characters and their story.
CC and Brant have both had some tough childhoods which have caused walls to come up and insecurities. CC is the town’s hairstylist and Brant is the local doctor. They have definitely noticed each other for about two years now. Thanks to their friends they are set up on a date. Will the date finally get them going in the right direction? Can they have a HEA?
Overall I really enjoyed this book. I really liked all of the secondary characters, it was like a reunion from the first two books. I really liked her high school friends Annabelle and Breckin. I was pulled right in by the author’s writing and was on an emotional rollercoaster. You can read this book as a stand alone but I highly suggest reading from the beginning. I can’t wait for the next book in the series, 1-click and get started today.
Unlikely to Stay (A Parker Lake Novel #3) by Olivia Sherwood
This isn’t the first book I’ve read by the author.
CC is a hairdresser and loves her job. The older ladies are driving her mad with new colors and it’s making her job harder. Then a big fundraiser comes around making her friends buy her a date from the auction. The quote I chose for CC is: “I’m almost finished and then you’ll have to sit for a bit while the color sets. Then I’ll style it up and you can be on your way. I’ll have you looking like a shamrock in no time.”
Brant is new to town and working his way through school. Taking the job in Parker proves difficult, but he’s loving it. Especially when he meets CC and goes out with her. The quote I chose for Brant is: “It’s an honor. Totally what I went to nursing school to do.”

This is the third book in the series…but it can definitely be read as a standalone.
The cast of characters from the first two books are back…but this time we are focusing on CC. CC is the town hairstylist…and best friend to Anabelle and Breckin. She has come to terms with the fact that she is an outcast and will probably be alone forever. She is crushing on Brant, who runs the town’s clinic, for 2 years…but she knows that he’s too good for her so she won’t even take her shot.
Brant moved to Parker Lake a couple of years ago and is running the local clinic. He had a rough childhood and was in foster care for a while…so he is set in his ways of not forming attachments. He has noticed the hairstylist in town…but their interactions thus far have led him to believe that she hates him.
So…when meddling friends step in and set them up on a date. When they find out that their initial assumptions about each other are wrong, can they get out of their own ways to see if they could be more than friends? Or are they too stuck in their ways to take the chance? (You will have to read to find out)
I really enjoyed this story. Brant and CC are both great characters that have been shaped by their childhoods. The friendship they create is amazing…and the way they grow as people is even more special. I have enjoyed the books in the series and this was no exception.
