4 STARSShe wanted a hate fuck He was ready to deliver.What can a previous escort turned sex surrogate and the brainy and standoffish doctor possibly have in common A whole lot of chemistry I ll be honest, I hated and I mean HATED Elle in the first book She s rude and cold and she certainly doesn t mince words or make friends She s an ice queen in every way and there s only two sides to her the professional and the woman you don t want to be on the wrong side of I wasn t sure I d ever like her, b [...]

4 all around me STARS I did not know this book exist if it s not from a friend I forgot to stalk Roni Loren from facebook, apparently Well, I ve been wondering where is the hell book two, so here it is I really have fish memory so I totally forgot the main characters for this book A bit recap from previous book, Off the Clock, is about Marin and Donovan who works at a elite health or mental institute called The Grove It s not an asylum like private healing place for troubled rich people Donovan [...]

Love didn t fix everything That was a lie the world sold in movie theaters and in books with pretty covers.One of the most interesting and complex female characters I read lately.I don t like my heroine nice and weak, I look for strong women and prefer my heroine rather on the anti side.Floved this woman Ice Queen Strong, professional, intelligent woman.Some readers may call her bitter, and somehow it s true But after the betrayal she lived through I never, not a single time, judged her behavior [...]

Reviewed for herding cats burning soup amzn 2oCxvsALane s book Eee By the Hour was sexy, captivating and down right seductive.So Elle called Lane a hooker And in the past that was kinda true Now, though, he s a sexual surrogate at a rehab center where she works that caters to the rich and famous And he s real good at his job Friendly, social, handsome And he gets under Elle s skin something fierce He s everything she s not and they both just kinda piss each other off A right pain in the ass when [...]

5 L E Stars FULL REVIEW TO COME.Another winner by Roni Loren Addicted to this series and this fantastic couple

A sexy and intense enemies to lovers romance that you will just SINK YOUR TEETH into BY THE HOUR by Roni Loren was an emotionally driven, scorching hot love story where the characters will take you by surprise at every turn I had mixed feelings going into this read, because I was NOT a fan of Dr Elle McCray in the first book, but once you start and get to the thick of her emotionally drawn issues, you will definitely understand her better And Lane Cannonwow What a character I actually ADORED him [...]

A stormy, intense, lust fueled romance that delves deep into issues of trust and past trauma, I loved Lane and Elle s story Off the Clock, book one of this series, was one of my favorite reads of 2016 But, I ll be honest, while I adored Lane in that book, I hated Elle with a burning fiery passion Which is exactly why I had to read this one I had to know how the author was going to turn my feelings for this character around And, man, did she ever Dr Elle McCray, aka The Ice Queen, is standoffish [...]

I didn t think I would love By the Hour than Off the Clock By the Hours has a lot of things in it that would usually turn me off I don t read older women younger man romances nor do I like bitchy heroines and heroes where their occupation is to me intimate with others But I LOVED this book Elle is the main heroine and she was the other woman in the previous book coming off as that evil bitch girl who is out to ruin the main couple s love In By the Hour she is seen in a different light She s th [...]

Review For By The Hour bt Roni Loren 3.5 Stars By The Hour bt Roni Loren is book Two in the Pleasure Principle series This is the story of Dr Elle McCray and Lane Cannon I have not yet read the previous book so for me this was a standalone book Elle is now a divorced women trying to get over the hurt of being betrayed by her husband and someone else who she was close too Elle has found herself to be a uptight snobbish person with a chip on her shoulder Lane is completely different from Elle in t [...]

A little after hours delight becomes much when two antagonistic colleagues embark on a sensual erotic journey that leads to them both opening up and dealing with their pasts in order to have a future together Emotionally bittersweet with engaging dialogue and strong characterization, Loren once again writes an erotic romance that captures the heart and soul of the trope.

What a nice surprise this read was I mean, I already knew I most likely would enjoy it because it s Roni Loren But I wasn t quite sold on the main characters The hero is a therapeutic sex surrogate, and while that s not being an escort, the pesky side of me wasn t sure how any heroine would be ok with a hero that has this profession But I loved Lane from the first book, loved his personality and couldn t wait to explore of his sexiness.The heroine, Elle, we sort of came to hate in the first boo [...]

I ve been waiting for forever for the second book in the Pleasure Principle series Dr Elle McCray is an ice queen She s offish, isolated and aloof She has reason to be though and as her backstory unfolds one can understand why she is the way she is And then there s Lane Cannon Sex surrogate All round nice guy just trying to make something of himself He has lived a colourful life and has worked hard to get to where he is Elle being judgmental and snobbish makes assumptions about him and this made [...]

One of THE BEST books I ve EVER read If I were stranded on a desert island and could have one book with me, it would be this one Not a clich to be found, smart and realistic characters, excellent word choices, SMOKING HOTNESS, a steady pace and a very happy ending I am Roni s newest biggest fan Lane is perfect A total alpha, but he s perfectly content with letting Elle have controlexcept in certain situations, sexual and otherwise, then I saw his true alpha ness and holy moly, you WILL dump your [...]

I picked up this book as I am going through a major book funk I needed something fun and that I knew I would like By The Hour met all the criteria and Loren is just one of those authors who you know can help you break down that wall.Watching as Elle The Ice Queen melts under the charismatic Lance is such a fun and joyful ride That s not to say that it doesn t have its hurdles, but you are sucked into this wild ride.Full review to come soon

5 Bad Ass Bitch Stars IThinkINeedSexTherapy HeyLaneThinkYouCanHelpAGirlOut IHaveProblemsOH man, how I loved this book I don t even think I can describe how much Elle the cold hearted on the outside, warm blooded and hurt on the inside doctor, has been put through the ringer and it s a wonder she has a hard time trusting men, but when Lane comes strolling over, I knew from the get go, that she was going to be a goner This book was absolutely brilliantly written, and I loved the witty banter and d [...]

I love hate sex reads and this one is good Imagine the sweetest guy with a stick up her ass women One night stand and bam Shit becomes real, both have issues and try to work it out together A great read I really enjoyed it

I really enjoyed Lane A hot book in the series I d definitely read if there s going to be .

I will leave my final thoughts after the Blog Tour

You can find of my reviews at Forever 17 Books.Last summer I discovered the works of author Roni Loren, including one titled Off the Clock Pleasure Principle 1 I absolutely loved her writing and was very excited to hear there would be a companion novel featuring a couple characters we meet in the first book By the Hour was a great follow up Lane is a sex surrogate say what who finds himself getting involved in a hate sex relationship with Elle, a doctor co worker But what was supposed to be eas [...]

oh my god,I didn t expect to love this as much as I did because I detested the heroine in the first book but now I m like, what first book this book blew its predecessor out of the water, this book doesn t even play in the same league,no but seriously, you know how I have a shelf for asshole heroes Elle McCray makes me want to create an asshole heroines shelf girl is really something but as the story progressed, we got of her backstory, her layers are stripped one by one and now she s probably [...]

Dedicated to my friend, B a closet fan of erotic romance, who keeps pestering me to post another review soon I like how you always know where you stand with Roni Loren She consistently delivers good, complex, thought provoking characters in subversive, steamy situations.I especially enjoy this series as it deals with mental disorders of various kind and many insecurities the therapists themselves battle.Elle is a top specialist in her field and she is quite clear about her triggers and social an [...]

We re first introduced to Elle and Lane in Off the Clock, book one of this series and honestly, I wasn t a fan of Elle s but I kind of fell for Lane straight away and just knew we would be getting a book about him I couldn t wait Even if I had my doubts about there being redeeming qualities about Elle.What I discovered is that there really is someone out there for every single person and all it takes it for them to find each other for a whole world of fantastic possibilities Elle is abrasive, un [...]

Read this with a friend.There were multiple things in this book that screamed no to me, BUT I freakin enjoyed reading this By the Hour knocked me off my feet with the writing and characters I think was the characters that really blew me away or rather the heroine Elle is ten years older I believe than the hero Lane who is a sex surrogate for The Grove I usually don t like older heroines because I myself could never imagine falling for a guy younger than me the ones I have met are really immature [...]

3.5 Stars By The Hour bt Roni Loren is book Two in the Pleasure Principle series This is the story of Dr Elle McCray and Lane Cannon I have not yet read the previous book so for me this was a standalone book Elle is now a divorced women trying to get over the hurt of being betrayed by her husband and someone else who she was close too Elle has found herself to be a uptight snobbish person with a chip on her shoulder Lane is completely different from Elle in that he isn t taking live so serious L [...]

Lessons in love that go way beyond surface levelPeople and the love they share aren t one dimensional and neither are Roni Loren s characters Once again Ms Loren shows just how deep she can delve into her characters psyche and what makes them tick what makes them fall in love by the hour.Lane Cannon and Elle McCray were both introduced in Off the Clock While Lane appeared in a very favorable light as a very professional and caring sex surrogate and dominant, Elle wasn t the apple of anyone s eye [...]

I have a huge deep unrelenting love for Roni Loren s books Seriously I have two copies of all her books, it s a bit crazy Despite this deep love of all her books I was skeptical that I was going to enjoy reading By the Hour Why I honestly have been in a pretty pathetic mental state since I began graduate school It s been a terrible ride to say the least and made me doubt my love of books I should have known Roni Loren wouldn t let me down By the Hour is beyond original, sexiness personified in b [...]

I loved the book I ve recently become a huge fan of Loren s writing I couldn t get enough of this story, waking up in the middle of the night to get a few pages read I like how the standalone series is going and if books are planned, I will be first in line to buy The characters were believable and I almost wanted to go online to check for their existence The details and prose are wonderfully written, specifically the emotional content The author has a knack of making the unloveable antagonist [...]

Roni Loren s writing is consistent from book to book I ve never read one of her novels and felt like she was off This series set in the sex therapy clinic is an interesting backdrop that makes for a pleasurable read She doesn t disappoint, so if you like erotica with a heart and haven t tried her books, you should

Sinfully good.
