I live in the southern US with my husband, kids, and a cat who rules the house. I spend way too much time on the computer, and only some of it is looking at cat videos, laughing at writing memes, or reading romance novels.

A story so spicy I reached a point at which I had to put it to the side for a while as my mood for spicy books suddenly had entirely disappeared, and this story is way too spicy to be read by me when I am not in the mood for spicy (if I'd skimmed the spicy parts, I'd have to skim about 75% of the book). And when I say spicy I mean really spicy, like ghost pepper levels of spice. Or, in other words, this is written foursome porn with a plot.

That said, it's great and very well-written porn with a solid plot and great characters.

Absolutely worth a read, but you definitely need to be in the mood for a story that will turn the heat up quite significantly.

When the mood was right I absolutely enjoyed reading it.

I. LOVED. THIS. BOOK. I do have to warn you that you that if you are not a fan of a super spicy book, then this is not going to be the book for you. This book is SOOO spicy.

This book follows Vicky and Michelle, who go on a girls' trip before Michelle gets married. But, soon, the truth comes out that Michelle actually needs time away from her fiancee. Apparently, Michelle had gotten an email about her fiancee cheating on her, and she dumped him.

Once they get to the cabin they had rented, they are in for a surprise. There are three guys already there. The company they rented the cabin from, double booked the cabin, and they all end up sharing the cabin.

Vicky and three guys have perfect and instant chemistry and attraction. Meanwhile, Michelle's fiancée comes to talk to her about the fight they had had. Michelle decides to leave with him to go and talk with him in private in his hotel room in town. This leaves the three guys and Vicky with the entire cabin to themselves for the time being.

And as it turns out, Michelle never returns, choosing to stay in the hotel with her fiancée, working through their fight and hopefully working things out in preparing for their wedding.

This leaves Vicky alone with the three guys alone in the cabin for the weekend tied up in ribbons. Will more come out of the weekend for her from this trip?

If you are looking for something clean and cute, this is not the book for you. If you like spice and fun, then this is your book. This book is fun and oh so very, very spicy. There are never going to be enough chili peppers for this one.

Was this basically a spicy fiasco during a snowstorm? Absolutely. Did it have a plot? Ehh, questionable. Did it read like an adult film script? Yes. Did I enjoy it? Oddly enough, I did!

Vicky finds herself in a double booked accommodation with her friend, who conveniently leaves right before a huge snowstorm. Faced with the three men who also booked the house, and no way to leave, Vicky decides to enjoy herself. It was spicy, and left very little to the imagination. But boy, was it hot.

I really enjoyed the mix of romance and deeper character connections. Vicky was my favorite—confident and open to new experiences, which made her story fun to follow. The snowed-in setting added extra tension and coziness. If you like steamy scenes with emotional depth, this one’s worth checking out!.

A series of unfortunate circumstances turns into a hot steamy week. This book is *SPICY* to the max! I love the different points of view, and how it touches on real life scenarios. The storyline flows well and ends in a lot of happy endings (wiggles eyebrows). I loved this book! If you like SMUT, then I would give this book a try!

If you are looking for a book that is pretty much just smut, then this book is for you. It's a reverse Harlem and wow do they ever get detailed in the down and dirty scenes 🥵 so much spice! It's fun how each guy brings something different to the experience and how they all end up fitting together so well.

Ms. Heart brought readers a week to remember. A double-booked cabin becomes an exciting time for four of the tenants. Michelle and Vicky booked a cabin for a pre-wedding getaway. Michelle was getting married and her future husband sent her away with her MOH to celebrate. Cole, Taylor and Darren rented the cabin to reconnect. Though they were best friends, life had gotten in the way. This week was supposed to bring them back together. Each one had a lot going on their life that they had not revealed to the others. The group decided to all stay at the cabin for the week. Vicky could not be happier. These guys looked and acted great, and they all seemed to want her. Vicky and the boys had a great week together. Each of them gained something that allowed them to grow close. Will this week of fun evolve into a lifetime of memories? This book is not just spicy. These are adults dealing with adult problems. Will these four people help or hurt each other? Ms. Heart did a great job with this story.

Best friends Vicky and Michelle plan a cozy cabin getaway before Michelle's wedding. But when Michelle discovers her fiancé's infidelity, their trip takes an unexpected turn. Arriving at the cabin, they find it already occupied by three attractive men due to a booking mishap. Darn their luck! 🤣 As Michelle leaves to confront her fiancé, Vicky stays behind, snowed in with the trio. What follows is a whirlwind of emotions, connections, and unexpected romance in this spicy "why choose" tale.​

Diving into Tangled in Ribbons, I was immediately drawn to the dynamic between Vicky and Michelle. Their bond felt genuine, setting the stage for the unfolding drama. The cabin setting, combined with the unexpected company of three charming men, created a tantalizing backdrop for the story.​

Vicky's character stood out to me. Her confidence and openness added depth to the narrative. The chemistry between her and the men was palpable, making the pages sizzle. While the story is undeniably steamy, it also delves into themes of self-discovery and the complexities of modern relationships.​

Penny Heart's writing is engaging, balancing humor, emotion, and spice seamlessly. The pacing kept me hooked, and I appreciated the character development throughout. It's a story that doesn't shy away from exploring desires while also highlighting the importance of communication and trust.​

I enjoyed how Heart included elements about female anatomy and satisfying a woman without taking away from the story.

Wow, this book is spicy in all the right ways! I had such a blast reading this one—it’s a perfect mix of steamy moments and unexpected twists. The story kicks off with Vicky and her best friend Michelle heading out for a much-needed weekend getaway at a cabin, only for Michelle to discover some shocking news about her fiancé cheating on her, thanks to an anonymous email. What was supposed to be a fun vacation quickly becomes a journey of self-discovery for both women.

Once they arrive at the cabin, things get even more interesting when they realize it's been double-booked and they’re not the only ones there. Enter Cole, Taylor, and Darren—three incredibly attractive men who are also staying in the cabin. While Michelle decides to confront her fiancé and leaves to sort things out, Vicky is left behind with these three guys. And let me just say, the chemistry between Vicky and the guys is off the charts. What starts as a simple, no-strings-attached weekend soon turns into a whole lot more than Vicky ever bargained for.

The book is hot—and I mean steamy hot. If you're looking for a sweet, clean romance, this is definitely not the one for you. But if you’re in the mood for something spicy with plenty of chemistry, this will hit the spot. The plot has a nice balance of drama and fun, and even though it’s full of steamy scenes, there’s an actual story behind all the heat.

I really enjoyed the characters—Vicky is confident and unapologetically herself, while Michelle goes through a huge emotional transformation as she faces the truth about her relationship. And of course, Cole, Taylor, and Darren add the perfect mix of intrigue and excitement to the mix. The whole dynamic made the book impossible to put down.

Overall, if you’re a fan of spicy reads with a dash of drama, this is the book to pick up. Penny Heart definitely delivered, and I can't wait to dive into more of her work. Just make sure you're ready for some seriously steamy moments!

“I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship,”

I really enjoyed this book. I liked Vicky and the three guys Cole, Darren, and Taylor. The three best friends were going on their annual vacation, but didn't expect what they'd encounter at the rental cabin. I liked that you could tell them apart from their personalities. Even the way their relationships with previous girlfriends ended gave some insight. Though I was saddest for Taylor in that regard for obvious reasons.

Vicky was supposed to spend the week with her bestie Michelle, when she was getting messages about her fiancé cheating, and the two decided to go to the cabin anyway, only to find it double booked. I loved that the guys told them to photograph their IDs and tell people where they were and who with to make them feel safer about having to stay with guys they don't know. It was telling they were that thoughtful.

Vicky was attracted to all three, but after being burned before, didn't do serious relationships. The chemistry she had with each of them sizzled, and they were just as powerfully attracted to her. I loved how the relationships progressed and went further than any of them ever expected.

I also loved the supporting characters. Michelle was sweet and trying to navigate her broken heart as rationally as she could all things considered. I liked how close and open with each other she and Vicky were. I also liked that she wasn't just in the story briefly and then gone like an afterthought, she was present. I also loved Robert- though I never expected to because I'd thought he'd be like every other cheating ex in these types of stories. I was rooting for him. Darren's parents also warmed by heart that they treated Cole and Taylor like their sons as well.

This book was a lot more than I expected going into it, and it was a wonderful surprise. This is the first book that I've read by this author and I would definitely read more. 5 stars.

Three Guys and a Gal

“Tangled in Ribbons” by Penny Heart is the first book I have read by this author. I am always eager to give new authors a try so I decided to go ahead with this contemporary erotic story. The three men in the story are Taylor, Cole, and Darrin. They are longtime friends who rented a cabin in the snowy mountains to unwind and catch-up. Vicky and Michelle were inadvertently given the same cabin. The story is pretty straight forward, the mixup has the entire group deciding to stay together. What the story didn’t need was Michelle thrown into the mix only to have her awkwardly shuffled out of the way so Vicky could hook up with the three guys. The characters all had different backstories and came with varying degrees of “ex” issues and proclivities. But they didn’t have any problems hooking up with Vicky for “just sex” since that is all she wanted as well. This wasn’t a romance just various ways to have sex with three men and one woman involved. Steamy sweaty sex, bondage, spanking, toys, oral, and lots and lots of dirty talk fill the pages. These four do seem to connect on a deeper level since they all fit together so well. I like the fact that Vicky is a curvy woman who is secure with her body and her sexuality. The story was all right, it’s just been done before. Michelle shouldn’t have been in the story at all, except as a mention. Vicky could have been stranded there with the men because of the snowstorm. Michelle could’ve been stranded elsewhere not even making it to the cabin. The pages wasted on her and her boyfriend would’ve been better spent developing the relationship between Vicky, Taylor, Cole, and Darrin. All this needs is some editing and rewriting.

🎀Tangled in Ribbons ARC Review 🎀


Written in 3rd person even if the chapters are in different characters “POVs”. Spice start straight off in chapter 3 first night they meet so this book is very fast paced! Besides that I really enjoyed this book! Three childhood best guy friends rent a cabin to kinda regroup and spend some bro time together, meanwhile two girly besties also rent a cabin to regroup before the holidays. When the girls get there the guys are already camped up in the cabin and quickly find out there was a booking error and they are all stuck together! Sadly one of the girlfriends has some relationship issues which she needs to resolve so Michelle leaves behind Vicky in the cabin which the 3 hunks!!

I love that Vicky is portrayed as a curvy woman who owns her curves and her sexuality!! I looooveeeee me some fierce curvy FMC so this was just a bonus for me to enjoy the book more!!!!

If you need a very naughty and SPICY short holiday book to read, this is PERFECT for you and is out now!!!!!

Thank you so much Penny Hart for having me as part of your ARC team!!!

Vicky and Michelle are best friends. They scheduled a mountain cabin getaway for some friendly relaxation. Prior to leaving, Michelle finds out her fiancé has been cheating. Although Michelle is upset, they still decide to get away for a vacation. Upon arrival, they realize there is a double booking and three hot men already are staying in the cabin. Due to the towns lack of vacancies, they are forced to stay together. That’s where the story gets interesting…

Vicky is independent and very comfortable with her sexual needs. She feels an immediate attraction to all three men for different reasons. The author does a fabulous job weaving the characters individual stories and personalities together to create a pretty magical tale.

I enjoyed reading this story and despite my in-depth knowledge of romance novels, I actually learned a thing or too reading this one. Quite refreshing! I probably even blushed a few times.

I highly recommend this book for mature audiences only due to sexual content.

I received this ARC in exchange for a fair and honest review.

Well I don't even know where to start, this one shocked the shit out of me, it wasn't what I was expecting at all. But I fucking loved reading every minute of it, that much so I didn't want to put it down at all. It's a quick read but it packs a spicy punch. The authors writing style is excellent, it always captives me. The characters and storyline was wonderful.

Vicky and Michelle set off to a cabin, party time. But it's the best excuse for Michelle to get away after finding out that her fiancé was cheating on her and she dumped him.

When they arrive at the cabin it's already occupied by 3 handsome men. They realise the place double booked the cabin. But cole, Tayler and Darren let them stay until they can figure things out. But Michelle's fiance turns up, he wants to talk and sort things out so they end up going back to his hotel to talk. And leaving Vicky with 3 hunks. Whatever shall a gal do. Have fun, steamy times with 3 hot men of course.

A double booking at a rental cabin has Taylor, Cole and Darren giving a bedroom to Vicky and Michelle when no more rooms were found elsewhere. Bad past experiences have the guys and Vicky single and a sabotage has Michelle calling off her engagement to Robert. A snowstorm has Michelle and Robert at a hotel and Vicky alone with the guys who are all interested in getting intimate with her. Snowed in, Taylor leads a sex party. Feelings start to enter the picture with Taylor and Vicky fighting their feelings while Cole and Darren wish to date Vicky. As the week ends they all discover they want to turn this into a relationship.

This book was a nice change of pace, with one of the guys having his sexual awakening instead of Vicky.

Several plots work to bring longtime friends together in steamy situations when they are double booked into the same cabin. Three men, friends from college, have become distanced and so tired of their single lives. Two women, lifelong friends, go away to bond and help the one move forward after she finds her fiance cheated. In the middle of a snowstorm, the engaged couple are off talking at a hotel, while the four others start investigating their feelings, fantasies, and backstories. Very different characters, each with emotional issues, become the people they long to be and help each other grow confident and accepted for who they are. Loved the ending as they get ready to go home.

OMG this was a spicy page turner of an story.The suspense was intense and mind blowing. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't even put it down. Vicki and Michelle was having a fun weekend at this cabin for a week-end to party only to learn that her fiance maybe cheating on her as she found some emails she received. It's there Vicki and Michelle run into 3 men name Taylor, Cole and Darren. Michelle is going to meet up with her fiance in this moment as Vicki will end up with these three handsome guys. Romance was in the air. Will these moment change Michelle mind of new romance.

Tangled in Ribbons is the perfect read for winter. I rarely read books in season, but I couldn’t resist this novel. I was hooked from the first page and couldn’t put it down until I was finished. While I don’t normally love insta-love storylines Heart created a take on it that I really enjoyed. It was fun and lighthearted in all the best ways. There was the perfect amount of spice for the story. Heart’s attention to detail was unmatched. The characters really made the novel. They were so well developed and easy to connect with. Each character had its own individual personalities and they all perfectly balanced one another.

You get everything in this book. Absolutely delicious spicy scenes. Great characters. Hilarious banter. * chefs kiss*

Three best friends go on a guys vacation little did they know they were going to have company. You have Darren who is very self conscious, nerdy, who discovers his own k!nks. Taylor the smooth-talking, k!nky man. Cole’s an easy going, relaxed man.
In walks Vicky she knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to ask for it.

What will they do snowed in together?

Tangled in Ribbons is a very spicy MFMM romance.

The spice was incredibly high with this story. These four are snowed in together and they get up to a lot of spicy shenanigans. There is also a bit of MM action which is spicy in its own right. This might be the spiciest book I have ever read. There is a lot of chemistry between the characters. I liked the solid friendship the three men had with each other which made adding Vicky into the mix just the spice that was needed for this friendship.

I love it when a spicy book has really long spicy scenes and this one has it. It has a slow to spice start but once it gets there. It GETS there. This is Vickys story. A single gal who meant to spend a weekend with her bestie. Only to be sharing a cabin with three hunks. When alone time happens. The spice gets rolling. I love that shes confident in who she is and each guy is unique. But the spicy. Yes. please. THANK YOU.

This was fantastic read, with detailed characters and a fantastic story line. It's fun and an escape in the best way and succeeds to do exactly what it sets out to.

Vicky was like many women, looking for the perfect man to keep her happy forever, but in for a shock of her life when she realizes maybe she can have MORE.

Steamy steamy and full of spicy moments throughout while building on the chemistry and connection throughout.
