Tell Me (One Night With Sole Regret) by Olivia Cunning Review

09/24/2013

Tell Me by Olivia Cunning

Tell Me (One Night with Sole Regret 6) by Olivia Cunning Review

I absolutely love Olivia Cunning. Her books are always in my top 5 recommended series. In fact, Olivia’s books are on almost every single one of my Top Picks/Favorites lists. Tell Me is the 6th in the One Night with Sole Regret series, and actually brings us one more night (actually a whole weekend) with Gabe and Melanie, who we first met way back in book one, Try Me.

Melanie and Gabe were actually my favorite couple of the series, and I was so excited to read more about them! Gabe is the drummer of Sole Regret with the huge mohawk and tattoos on his head (and he’s also a very creative inventor heehee). Melanie is an accountant, his complete opposite. But  together, they work. Mel went back to Kansas, so she and Gabe have been having phone sex all week (it’s only 5 days later in the book). And boy, that’s some hot phone sex!

“He was one lucky son of a bitch for finding a woman like her. He loved turning her into a naughty girl. It had been a goal of his. And… mission accomplished.”

Gabe invited Mel to join him in New Orleans for his show, and then back to his home in Austin for the weekend. When Mel came home to pack up, her annoying-as-fuck roommate Nikki started packing to join her. Nikki had spent a night with Shade, but he was done with her.  Nikki tried lying and she said Shade invited her but Mel knew better and put her foot down and told Nikki to stay home.

So Mel is on the plane, sitting next to some huge UFC fighter, when who gets on the plane? Annoying, needy Nikki. And she even used Mel’s credit card to buy a ticket! (At this point I already wanted to punch Nikki in the teeth, but it gets so much worse). She interrupted the reunion too! Nookie in the back of the limo with a fuckhot invention — interrupted by this chick who really needs to be in a special home.

So they dump Nikki in New Orleans, but annoying as she is, you can’t help but worry about her. Then we go to Gabe’s home in Texas and meet his dogs, who are totally awesome. I fell in love with Lady and Beau, but they basically took the book from Gabe and Mel. Yes, it made Gabe more human, more lovable…but the dogs were a bigger part of this book than anything else. And I worry about them too, Gabe is gone a lot, they need more love.

The sex…well, we know Olivia Cunning can write sex. I mean, she is at the top of my Books with Hot Sex AND Great Stories list. And with Gabe’s inventions, there was some good sex.

“That had been so much more than a typical orgasm. She was going to name it megagasm. Or she would once she remembered how to move her tongue”

There just wasn’t much much of it! They were too busy with Nikki and the dogs.

That being said, I love Gabe and Mel. I enjoyed watching their relationship develop. I loved learning about Gabe and meeting his family. But the side stories of Nikki and the dogs just took too much away from this story for me.

Likes:

  • I love Gabe and Mel together.
  • The inventions!
  • You can’t help but love the dogs (even though there was too much for me).
  • I loved Gabe’s parents.
  • Olivia always writes great sex.
  • This was a short full length book rather than a novella like the others in the series.
  • The humor.
  • The fact that the couple laughed and was silly together.

Dislikes:

  • Nikki! I feel sorry for her, but she needs help. Melanie is too soft and lets her take total advantage. Nikki needs more help than Mel can provide.
  • As much as I adored the dogs, it seemed to be about them too much.

Rating: 3.5 stars, 4 Heat

stars_3half

Flame_FOUR copy

Honestly, it kills be to give an Olivia Cunning book less than 4 stars. Especially because I really did enjoy Tell Me. It just wasn’t what I have come to expect and love about Olivia’s books. I was reading this as a ‘bedtime’ story (if you know what I mean) and this is definitely not that type of read. Sure, there is great sex, but it is a much smaller portion of her books than usual. And for me, Needy Nikki really took away from the story. IMPORTANT: If you are a dog lover, this will be closer  a 5 star read for you. I like dogs, but after my son got bit and got stitches, I prefer the little ones 🙂

Gabe and Melanie’s story continues in book 11, Trust Me. I look forward to reading it, and will still read every single one in The One Night with Sole Regret Series.

Must read before Tell Me: Try Me (One Night with Sole Regret book 1)

When I was 37, my 7 year old begged me daily for a When I was 37, my 7 year old begged me daily for a little brother (or sister). We obliged, but because of my age and I had lupus, the pregnancy was high-risk. At 17 weeks I had an amniocentesis. 2 weeks later we got the devastating news that our baby, the sibling my son was begging for, had some major genetic abnormalities, plus heart problems. If she survived the birth she would need multiple surgeries & would likely never leave the hospital. 

We made the most devastating decision to end the pregnancy. The baby we made FOR my son would just devastate him. It would take me away from him. He would watch her suffer and be in pain. And how would we pay for it all?

Four months after, I became pregnant again with my wonderful son who is now 16.  Despite 8 years difference, he and his brother are best friends. They have both had a great life with a mom who was fully present for both of them.

I thank Roe v Wade every day that I was able to make that CHOICE. It was the most devastating, horrible decision we ever had to make. But it was the RIGHT CHOICE, both for that baby & my family. Plus, my son wouldn’t be here today if I hadn’t made that CHOICE. These decisions are NEVER easy. They are deeply personal and usually devastating. 

Until the government can pay to keep all these babies fed, clothed and homed. Until they can pay for medical bills and the parents to leave work, until they can provide for the needs of the babies women are forced to have, they need to stay out of our bodies. I’m scared for the future of all of our rights.

“It’s called hot flashes, Dean. Don’t judge “It’s called hot flashes, Dean. Don’t judge me.” 
“Oh, I’ll give you hot flashes.”

Nobody else but Tara Sivec can make me literally laugh out loud and bawl my eyes out at the same time. I look for books with older couples, so I’ve read a good number of them, but this portrayal actually felt the most real of any to me.
With This Flirt by @authortarasivec is my first 5++ star book of 2022!

When the author of your all-time favorite series r When the author of your all-time favorite series releases the first book from the male POV, you run to read it and hope it doesn’t ruin it for you. I’m happy to say @jfrostauthor just made me love Cat and Bones more. 

If you are a fan of Cat and Bones, or you just want to start a new series, I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.

It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s F It was SO GREAT going back to Kristen Ashley’s Fantasyland world again! I tried to read as slow as possible because I just didn’t want to leave. Though the whole Fantasyland series is best read in order, Gossamer in the Darkness easily stands alone. You don’t have to like fantasy or regency to love this, you just have to love romance. I am so happy to have this as a new addition to one of my favorite series, and now I may have to go and listen to the entire series again.

@catherinecowlesauthor has a way of blending steamy romance, angst, suspense, family, found family, friendship, kids, and a whodunnit into something completely unique and special. Falling Embers may be my favorite yet.

If you have a trade-in you get another 20% off plus the value of the trade-in. The new Kindle Paperwhite ended up costing me $59. And it is SO WORTH IT. The screen is WAY bigger, it’s super fast, and the new light really still keeps the pages looking like e-ink with the adjustable warmth.

The Ravenhood Trilogy by Kate Stewart has a HUGE n The Ravenhood Trilogy by Kate Stewart has a HUGE number of people who are OBSESSED with it. I love Kate Stewart and needed to see what all the hype was about despite it being a long commitment (40+ Hours). In the end, it just wasn’t for me. It was too toxic and I never fell in love with and rooted for the MCs. Maybe I’m just too old? I wanted so much to love this! As much as I hate to sometimes, I review every book I read or listen to.

The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor was e The Other Half of the Grave by @jfrostauthor was everything I could have dreamed of. I was nervous, because I’ve read a few other books that totally changed my opinion of the hero after reading their pov (and not in a good way). I was glad I went into this without a recent re-read of Halfway to the Grave (until after) because I wasn’t comparing the two, and The Other Half of the Grave felt fresh and new. 

I loved reading this almost as much as I loved reading the first book so many years ago, and that’s saying a lot, because I have read thousands of books since, and it still remains a favorite. If you are a fan of Cat and Bones, or you just want to start a new series, I 100% recommend The Other Half of the Grave by Jeaniene Frost.
