Spineless women in books and Victoria never seemed that way to me Of course she had her concerns with Cory that she didn t voice immediately but that is part of the suspense that keeps you reading And I loved that And Coryall moody and broodingand oh so swoon worthy I loved him This book had my heart pounding every time these two had any contact with each other it was that intense and hot Not to mention their banter back and forth was hilarious and I love that in a book An absolutely perfect addition to this series Cari Quinn has done it again 250 3.

She is also a daughter and a sister first And the secrets that she hides will push her over the edge and into Cory s arms. No required or not required The writing style is simple There are a few references to the previous storyline characters but overall there is no confusion or loss of cohesion in the story The relationship between Cory and Victoria is both hot and cold cold when Cory and Victoria continue to push one another about their personal lives and current arrangements and hot when the faux relationship becomes sensual and sexual in the bedroom just to keep it believable NO ROMANCE REQUIRED is a short storyline of frenemies to lovers a long time in the making Their relationship was a given by everyone but the two people at the center of the storm and it will take a family to ensure that Cory and Victoria know that they are perfect for each other. No required or not required com 250 My Review Ever since he appeared in NO FLOWERS REQUIRED book 2 in the series and Cory s brother Dillon s book I ve been longing for Cory s book and when it came I devoured it as soon as I could I read it in under 24 hours and in practically one sitting only pausing for meals and sleep. No required or not required I loved the way Cory and Vicky were as opposite as they could be and how this created a fabulous chemistry filled with verbal sparring and sexual innuendo And over it didn t stop at innuendo The sexy scenes were exquisite and red hot But it s not just about the sexy scenes This story was rife with emotional intensity that is trademark Cari Quinn and complemented the steamy heat Cari knows how to deliver and does so well. No required or not required This book had me in its intense grip from the first page to the last I was totally immersed in Cory and Vicky and their story Their characters were so well written.

No approval needed meaning Will You Re read This Book YesWould You Read More Books By This Author Yes 250 Review originally posted here m a fan of Quinn s books so when she emailed me about her newest Love Required book I was interested to see how things would work out between frenemies Cory and Vicky. No required or not required Cory is a workaholic CEO who has been waiting for the moment his parents retire to Arizona and he can take on the company full time But between his daily duties launching a magazine and everything else he has going on Cory doesn t have time to really live his life and dating is totally out of the question But his parents demand he start to slow down and they think getting a girl is the perfect way to do it. No approval needed meaning Vicky has crushed on Cory longer than she can remember but he has always brushed her off Until one night when he takes her higher than any man has before Now their pictures are splashed across the newspaper gossip pages and Cory asks Vicky to pretend to be his girlfriend Vicky sees the opportunity to show Cory how they can be than pretend and jumps in But her heart is on the line and Cory is struggling with figuring out what is real and what isn t. No required or not required I always love stories when the hero and heroine are thrown together in a relationship they aren t too sure they want Although Vicky has crushed on Cory since they were kids she also knows that she isn t the kind of woman Cory wants to settle down with She s outspoken a flirt and has a larger than life personality all things that Cory typically steers clear of But as they explore their chemistry together they are both shocked at how explosive they can be. No required or not required I thought the sex scenes with these two were off the charts Not only does it take them forever to find a bedroom but these two just have the kind of chemistry that keeps a book burning from page one Every time the are next to one another the sexual tension is spinning wildly out of control and neither one of them cares to repress it I adored their bathroom scene especially since neither expected it It was sexy and impulsive and so hot. No required or not required One of the things that I think Quinn knocked out of the park on this one was Cory s apology There was even a discussion between characters about how Cory needed to make a grand gesture in order to win Vicky s trust once again and he went all out I loved his surprise his willingness to rope in her brother despite the fact the man hated him and just how well he was willing to go to win her back It was sweet and the perfect ending to the story. No required or not required All in all I was glad to see a few characters make another appearance and loved our hero and heroine Cory and Vicky were the perfect opposites attract couple and both their romance and sexual chemistry was so fun to read I can t wait to see what Quinn has in store next. No approval needed meaning 5 250 I picked this up on a whim with out realizing it was the third book in a series It was a fun enjoyable read While I do admit Cory and Vicky were a little hard to connect with at first I enjoyed their sparks The overall plot of the the book was a bit of a stretch I honestly don t think even well meaning parents would put a relationship requirement on their son to continue working for the family business I was willing to suspend disbelief and go with it because I really enjoyed Cari Quinn s writing not to mention the steamy sex. No approval needed meaning 5 stars 250 No Romance Required (Love Required, #3)Last year I picked up No Flowers Required and was blown away by the authors writing style and ability to suck me into her book It was sweet it was hot and I loved it One of my favorite reads of 2012 So imagine how excited I was when a rep for the author offered me an ARC of the next book in the series This book was everything I love humor romance sex angst written so well that I could hardly put it down I love when a book can suck me in like that and Cari Quinn hasn t disappointed me yet Cory is a workaholic in the worst way Spending every waking minute taking care of the family business leaves him no time for a social life let alone falling in love It s so bad that his parents who are retiring and moving south have issued him an ultimatum find a woman or you re out of a job. No approval necessary meaning Victoria is his interior designer magazine co editor They ve known each other since they were kids and have an unusual friendship that s mostly sarcastic and hostile But they work well together and there s an underlying attraction that neither one wants to address. No required or not required A situation presents itself where they end up in a compromising position that gets photographed and put in the paper giving Cory the idea of asking Vic to be his pretend girlfriend and get his parents off his back. No approval necessary meaning But what he didn t bargain for was how AWESOME she would be and how she d make him feel things he never thought he could Struggling to find a balance between work and the growing feelings he has for her Cory and Victoria have to decide if what they are feeling for each other is worth risking their friendship over I absolutely LOVED these two I hate whiny it can be read as a stand alone Some of the previous storyline characters are mentioned but their importance to the current story is connective only No Romance Required focuses on CEO Cory Santangelo a man who has no time for anything or anyone in his life except business and Victoria Townsend an interior designer who has been in love with Cory all of her life The premise of the story finds Cory needing a special someone in his life to keep his parents from hassling him about finding a wife and settling down Now that his brother is in love Cory feels the push to find that special someone if only to please his parents So to keep everyone happy Cory asks a favor of Victoria pretend to be his girlfriend for a few weeks to keep his parents happy What neither one expected that the pretend relationship would become the real deal with broken hearts and painful loss. No approval necessary meaning The character of Cory was a little difficult to like in the initial stages of the storyline He was cold buried himself in work and refused to acknowledge the pull between himself and the woman he has known most of his life He was abrupt condescending and rude but within a few chapters his character started to turn around when he realized that Victoria Townsend was everything he wanted and needed in his life. No approval necessary meaning And Victoria was a bit of an enigma A woman with a previous reputation from high school that the locals refused to let her forget with back stories that caught me by the throat and had me choking up numerous times Their histories their personalities their compatibility both inside and outside the bedroom It all worked for the book and for me as the reader. No approval necessary meaning Though Cory and Vicky seem complete opposites they are alike and compatible than they think and this created a wonderful story A story I finished with tears in my eyes and a sob caught in my throat at the rightness and beauty of a story delivered in the best possible way it could have been delivered A story where the characters were the stars and where the steamy explicit sex scenes went beyond being the proverbial icing on the cake. No approval necessary meaning And next to this amazing couple Ms Quinn also created some great secondary characters by way of family members and friends I caught up with the couples from previous books and was introduced to new characters I d love to get to know better. No approval needed meaning I know and if you follow my reviews you probably will too Cari Quinn writes books I love Books that are explicit hot and emotional Yet with every new book of hers I read she manages to catch me off guard and blow me completely away NO ROMANCE REQUIRED was no different I thought I was prepared for it this time but I wasn t Not by a long shot I have no words for Cory and Ms Cari Quinn once again outdid herself Fave Scenes the scene in Cory s office after the proposition normally I hate interruptions in the sexual tension but loved how here the interruptions just amped up the sexy the yoga studio scene the bathroom and the barn at Cory s parents house scenes the dining table scene the desk at Cory s office scene and this is why Cari Quinn is one of my faves those scenes were off the charts hot Vicky opening up about her mother to Cory such a beautifully written scene the scene at the airport a sobbing and smiling mess that s what Cari Quinn reduces me to upon finishing her books Fave Quotes He was a distracting combination of megalomaniac and man candy covered in geektastic frosting that wreaked hell on her hormones He had sought a woman who would do her girlfriendly tasks with a minimum of fuss but Victoria was an oncoming locomotive Loud full of steam and liable to mow a man down if he didn t move quickly Her mouth was his playground and he claimed it with a carnal patience that set off a desperate pulse in her core Adequate She d come so hard she d worried her eyes would stay permanently crossed and that s what he had to say for himself 250 DNF at 50 % Why I couldn t get connected with the characters They are papier mache figures with no realistic personality traits The plot the romance the erotic scenes the dialogues problems and issues are so made up and unlikely that I couldn t forget even for a moment I was reading a novel It couldn t draw me in I really wanted to like No Romance Required as I truly enjoyed the first two books of the Love Required series but it didn t work out for me 250 4 Three strikes and I m in Stars I love this series each book just keeps getting better and better and who knew Cory Santangelo was such a dirty sweet and total softy under that starchy unrelenting personality. No required or not required As with the previous novels there is a lot to laugh about in this book but the underlying feelings and the back stories of both Cory and Vicky make you want to keep reading and once again Cari has aced it with the sexy times for these two I have priorities And you with your hand between your legs sounds like an emergency to me. No approval needed meaning Hot Hot Hot Looking forward to the next book in this series Bryan and Jill have been on the sidelines for far too long 250
