Stephanie St. Klaire

Things aren’t always what they seem. Appearances can be deceiving. Jack comes across as a cocky, arrogant player holding drunken parties & irritating his neighbors in the process. Women follow him around & guys want to be like him. Is that what he’s really like? Juliet doesn’t care. She just wants him to TURN THE MUSIC DOWN! She’s a nurse, just off a long shift & needs some sleep. He may be hot but she wishes he’d just go away!

Stephanie St. Klaire has turned her talents to a new show more genre. Her talent for crafting wonderful, relatable characters & witty dialogue came through in this story. The scenes were detailed in such a way that the reader could feel they were part of the action. I loved that Juliet didn’t fall into Jack’s arms right off the bat but made him work for it. Ramsey was a perfect addition! I was laughing out loud at the picture Jack would have made holding her while she was sick & trying not to get sick himself!! Juliet needed to learn that Jack’s reputation was spot on but not in the way she thought it was. I really can’t wait for the next in this series!! show less

Luck is not on Daisy King’s side. First, she witnesses a Senator being murdered and then while hightailing it out of the senator’s home, all the while vowing to never again watch crime shows, as being part of a crime scene was far less than entertaining as it looks on television. That is if she makes it out alive and her not too trustworthy car decides to start up. Just when she thinks she is in the clear she gets snatched right out of the parking lot and lands on the doorstep of the show more O’Reilly clan.

Luke O’Reilly finds himself saddled with this petite little spitfire. One he can’t seem to get out of his mind. Luke is definitely not relationship material. He has seen and done things during his military career, until he was honorably discharged. He is a military man through and through and civilian life is hard enough to become adjusted to without the added stress of a quirky client that makes him feel things he never felt before.

Can Luke keep Daisy safe without risking his heart in the process? Or will Daisy worm herself into his life and Make Luke realize that love and family is what he deserves?

I knew right from the beginning, after starting to read this story, that it was going to be a keeper, especially since I was already laughing before I hit page ten. Daisy is quite the character with a flare for dramatics, especially within the first few pages of the story. I couldn’t help myself from liking her or keep myself from giggling when she was snatched by whom she thought was a “big bad guy.”

There are a lot of comedic scenes thrown into the story that I really loved. I especially love that there is a dog named Dick and a funny scene with Dick and Daisy that had me rollin. But, by no means did it take away from the emotional side of the situation either. Daisy’s life is in danger and you can feel the tension in the air. You know something is going to happen and when it does, I was not prepared for the twists and turns that it would take. Just when you think it is all over Stephanie St. Klaire throws another twist into the mix that leaves you right on the edge of your seat again.

Now, for the finale, let’s talk about those O’Reilly Brothers. OMG! HOT HOT HOT!!! These are the type of guys that make you just want to turn around and smack your real life boyfriend/husband with the book and say “Why can’t you be like them!” I for sure found my new book boyfriends. Yes! I said boyfriends. They are all mine and I am NOT sharing!

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am totally in love with Luke, the third installment to the Brother’s Keeper series. I will admit that I have not read the previous two books (hangs my head in shame) and I can not wait to get my greedy little hands on them. Stephanie St Klaire you have just acquired a new fan for life. show less

Jack Decker officially known as Jack “The Pecker” Decker is Portland’s hottest eligible bachelor and resident firefighter. When he is not working putting out fires, he is causing them in women’s panties. He is officially known as the panty melter, because yes, he is that HOT! Women set their lawns on fire just to get a peak at his *cough* hose. Local mommies huddle in packs just to get a look at those man buns..and…err hose! Women just can’t seem to get enough of Mr Pecker…I show more mean Mr. Decker! Heck..even I can’t get enough of Jack “The Pecker” Decker!

Juliet Walker is the only female in the entire state who probably does not like her frat boy next door neighbor who tends to throw loud parties when she is trying to relax after a long hard day at work as a nurse. Jack Decker is on her list…the naughty list! Juliet is a hard-ass and is determined to make sure Jack knows she is not a happy camper having him as her neighbor. So what if he has a nice set of abs and a legendary pecker, it’s not as if she would ever dare go there. As if!

But what happens when a baby gets thrown into the mix? Does Juliet get to see a side of Jack that makes her realize he is more than what everyone says he is?

Oh. My. God! I sooooooooo want to be Jack’s neighbor. Why am I never that lucky! Just once can’t a hot guy move in next door and look all cute holding a baby so I can be all like “Awwwww.” Gosh, I think this book is turning me into a stalker! Now all I want to do is drive by the fire departments in my city and check out the goods and find me some man candy. Stephanie St. Klaire really knows how to make a smoking hot hero that has my panties all twisted! You are an evil evil writer! Why must you be so GOOD! Grrrr……

If you can’t already tell, I really love the hero of this story. He is a really fleshed out three dimensional character that I find incredibly sexy, funny and down right charming. He is well aware of his “reputation” and is quite fine letting the rumors spread like wildfire. Not only do I love our hero, Jack, but Juliet is just as equal in every way. She is a five foot nothing spitfire who gives as good as she gets. The witty banter between Jack and juliet seriously had me laughing up a storm. The connection between the two of them is like an inferno. I could not wait for jack and Juliet to realize just how perfect they were for each other.

The plot is funny and serious all wrapped up and blended perfectly together creating a true gem of a story that I wish would have never ended. There are so many scenes where I laughed out loud so hard that even my dog jumped up from his bed wondering what was going on. Jack having postpartum depression had to be the funniest scene ever. Stephanie St Klaire really bring the comedy to romance and does it so effortlessly and so brilliantly that you instantly crave even more.

Stephanie St. Klaire writes with such passion and emotion and has quickly become an auto-buy author for me. I don’t even need to read a synopsis. If the book has the St. Klaire name on it, I already know it is going to be a winner and a keeper. DILF DIARIES: OH BABY is the first in the series and I absolutely can not wait to read the next book featuring Feliz, Jack’s hot Police officer friend. I’m going to need some handcuffs for this next installment!

If you are a huge fan of RomCom you certainly do not want to miss this book. DILF DIARIES: OH BABY has a permanent spot on my keeper shelf as well as being another one of my top reads for the year. show less

What do you do when your wife dies of cancer & leaves you & your daughter behind? Liam retreats behind a wall & doesn't let anything in. He doesn't see what it's doing to his daughter until she breaks down. While Liam is battling his fear & emotions, he has a battle on his hands at work too.

She's come to feel like the O'Reilly's are her family. Now her past has come back to haunt her & she's determined to keep it away from them. Can she manage to outwit the King of Technology or will Liam figure out what she's doing?

Ms. St. Klaire had me in tears for much of this story! Liam & Reagan tore my heart out. Their interactions illustrated the way Reagan's feelings & confidence were damaged by her mother's death & her father pulling away. The letters Cassidy wrote before her death are heartbreaking & insightful. The way the brothers closed ranks around Felicity, Liam & Reagan was perfectly representative of the family's love for each other. I really can't wait to see if the author can top this story! show less
