Review: Futures and Frosting (Chocolate Lovers, #2) by Tara Sivec

BLURB:

Carter, Claire and Gavin have formed the perfect little family. Their friends are getting married and everyone is growing up, maturing and ready to face the future. Or are they? From bachelorette party hell, porn addictions, dinner roll baseball and botched wedding proposals to finding out everyone's extended family is chock full of crazy, Carter and Claire begin to question the strength of the ties that bind them. Unfortunately, these ties have nothing to do with fuzzy handcuffs and everything to do with the mounting differences between them. Will their friends make a mess of things with their inappropriate comments and need to know everything, or will they convince the couple that happily-ever-after sometimes really can start with beer pong?

MY REVIEW: Futures and Frosting by Tara Sivec
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Okay I think I’m writing this review with teary eyes and a huge smile plastered on my face, and trying to figure out if I'm typing this correctly due to how excited and happy I currently am.
Certainly I did take my time to read this one, It wasn't my original intention to read it at such a low pace, but OMG I’m not regretting it; this reading just a few pages of this book per day, really improves someone’s day!
So the plot is not complicated at all, besides the only constant pity the reader has for Carter and his failed attempts to propose to Claire, and sorry and envy a the same time of how Drew and Jenny spend almost the entire length of the book, making everyone’s lives a living crazy psycho and funny hell. XD
This reading is basically a LOL reading, seriously people if someone ever, feels down or anything and they need their fix of happiness and you don´t have anyone around who can make it up to you.. this is the ideal book for you. I’m never taking it out off my phone's library, you hear me? NEVER EVER!
And the most amazing thing, is that the author actually gives us life lesson through all the teary laughs she makes us goes through!
I love Carter, I love Claire, I love Jim, Liz, Drew, Jen, Gavin, George, Claire’s mom and little Sophie!!! I love them all from the bottom of my heart ! Why they can’t be real?!! That’s not fair at all!! I’m really tremendously and immensely touched by these characters, their stories, all the situations they go through… For god´s sake!! How many people can go through meeting your husband’s granny while calling her names and trying to kick her out of cab?!!! And the astonishing thing is that she actually pulled it through!, and lets not forget the whole FB hangover in you future mother in law profile page!!!!!
With this book there’s only being two emotions the entire time:

Laughing myself out to the point I’m hanging from my bed, or stopping of walking suddenly and coughing for air, while someone asks me if I’m okay or need any pills?

Or just open mouthed, gasping and saying out loud -while grabbing my pillow,dog or actually anyone who happens to be around me - AWWWWWW!!!

“ I want to marry Mommy. We’ll kiss and we’ll marry and I’ll take her on dates and we will best friend forever and make lots of phone calls with each other”

Until something happened and I started laughing histerically again!

“Phone calls? Do you mean you’ll call your mommy a lot when you’re older? ”
“No, we’ll make phone calls like Mommy and Daddy do when they go into their bedroom and lock the door and yell and make weird noises” Gavin replies

BTW: Best proposal EVER!( well at least as far as I’ve been reading XD)
And seriously people that person is still a kid!!!

”Well, I Googled ‘kids swallowing pennies’ and you’d be surprised how many hits I got,” Liz says.”Anyway, as long as the penny was made before 1982, he’ll be fine.”
“It’s fine Claire. I used my metal detector on him and the penny wasn´t there,” George stated.
“You’re kidding me, right? You know there’s this fancy thing called a hospital you can go to, don’t you?” she asks.

And I’m not even starting with Claire’s description of a vagina after giving birth!! seriously!! the comment of the flashlight it really took my whole air away!

Review: Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers #1) by Tara Sivec

BLURB

Claire is a twenty-something, single mom that grudgingly helps her best friend sell sex toys while she attempts to make enough money to start her own business to give her foul-mouthed, but extremely loveable (when he's asleep) toddler a better life. When Carter, the one-night-stand from her past that changed her life forever, shows up in her hometown bar without any recollection of her besides her unique chocolate scent, Claire will make it a point that he remembers her this time. With Carter's undisguised shock at suddenly finding out he has a four-year-old son and Claire's panic that her stretch marks and slim to none bedroom experience will send the man of her dreams heading for the hills, the pair will do whatever they can to get their happily ever after. Warning: contains explicit sex, profanity and enough sarcasm to choke a horse.

MY REVIEW: Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

AWWWWWW! the ending was just lovely- I mean yeah, it had a few scenes that made me laugh histerically and pray to God above that those things only happen in the mind of a talented author and not in reality, because seriously! A camera man getting a close up of my butt while I’m very well too displayed in the middle of the crime scene with my boyfriend… I think I’d just got myself some handcuffs, lock my guy and me together inside my house and never would go out! Haha!
Okay, being honest I started this book with high expectations, but after reading the first chapters.. I was just not getting near any of them; but - still being honest since Gavin started to say his first- of many to come bad words, the story hyper improved.
Now the story itself…it made me laugh, I think I even shed a tear in some point; but it doesn’t have a big plot, is most like the background for jokes-no drama, no problems at all- I mean she was a single mother and Carter? I really can’t state how I really feel about him, I was hating him the first part, then I was pitying him for not remember and always been searching for her, then I was expecting when he is gonna have a heart attack or do something severely stupid that would make him crawl to Claire begging forgiveness…but none of that happened, so all of that just reminded me that this is fiction, a book, something came out of a very good talented person in orden to make me laugh out loud.
So in other words, That’s what It is a really good story to make me laugh
Some quotes of this book?

My ears perked up at the sound of her voice like I was a dog and someone just said,”cookie”…”woof!”…”Did I just bark out loud?”… three heads bobbed up and down at unison
“I slept with your wife”…”I got confused. I meant to say I slept with your daughter”…oh my God, STOP!
“Give me two seconds and I will suck you like…”
“Ga ga ah-ahhhh,rama llama llama, want your bad bromance”. The sound of Gavin singing at the end of the hall froze us in place.

Just a few of them anyway, if I’d quoted every single one that made me laugh, I’m pretty sure it would take me a while.
