FINALLY WE GET INSIDE DREW'S HEAD!

I love you too, vagina. I miss you like a hooker misses her virginity. True story. Why have you done me wrong,Boo? Why is there such a distance between us? Remember when we used to hang out every day? Now I barely see you once a month. You’ve changed,vagina. I hate to say this,but you have. You’re a different person now,and it’s like I don’t even know you. I thought maybe you were hanging around with a different crowd of people and they influenced you against More...

SON OF A BIRTHDAY CAKE! My fave line in this book! It take me a lot of time to finish this. I reserve it to get over my book hangover and ROFL on Drew and Jenny. I love book 1 & 2 more than this because I think there's more romance than just humor with Claire and Carter. Here I don't get the vibes of any romantic stuff just a super weird, crazy, kinky couple who's going on a dry spill after giving birth with their second child.

Let me tell you a secret:
The hero of this books is not funny. He is not cute.
He is every woman’s nightmare.

He gets pissed off over you using his new sex swing (don’t ask, you really do not want to know) to calm down your screaming toddler.
He does not say anything nice to you. Like…ever.
His freaking penis can only get hard if you are slutty.
He calls you "Porno Jenny" in his mind.
He talks to your vagina. But not to you! Never to you! And never about important things!
He talks to his penis. All t More...

/Raise your hand if you have read Seduction and Snacks. Now raise your other hand if you have read Futures and Frosting. Now... if you are sitting there with both hands raised; First, put them down you look like a fool. And second, you MUST read Troubles and Treats. This was a totally fitting and EPIC end to a wonderful series.

Check out my full review at Selena-lost-in-thought on 11/29/12 and I will also welcome Tara to my blog on 12/4/12. be sure to check it out More...

OMG! I cannot freakin wait for this book! LOVED the first two. Actually laughed out loud while reading... on the subway... more than once. Counting down the days.

I read this book in a day. I LOVED it! I do have to admit that I still loved the first two a little more, but I just think I related more to Claire as a narrator as opposed to Jenny. Don't get me wrong, it was still hilarious! The scene in the tent was freakin awesome!! I also found that i had a soft spot for Drew. Man was he clueless, More...

Tara Sivec is a comic genius!!

In Troubles and Treats we are propelled six years into the future with Drew and Jenny Parritt. Since the birth of their second child Drew and Jenny’s kinky sex life has become nonexistent. Jenny is just flat out exhausted. She really has her hands full,taking care of an infant and a preschooler, housework, and of course her job at S & S.

Drew is still the same, funny t-shirt wearing, sex craving, cl More...

This book has some serious LMAO ROTF moments. However, I could not buy into Drew and Jenny being actual parents. I love books one and two but I just couldn't buy into this one. Sorry folks.

Oh my SPOOP! I think I'm going to cry because this will be their last book. I don't know how to even write a review because there are no words to describe how mind blowing hilarious as hell this trilogy is! I can't believe this is the last book because I am going to miss them a lot! I love their friendship and their children so much I think I'm gonna wail and whine. I've learned a lot of new words in this book and I think that we should all GIVE TARA SIVEC A WARM WOMB HUGGING AND A HARD PENIS LO More...

Holy "Vagina Skittles"!

Tara Sivec, you are my freaking hero. I just finished the third book in the Chocolate Lovers series, Troubles and Treats. Let me just say how much I LOVE Tara's sense of humor! I have a similar mindset with potty humor and get many funny looks from my friends and family when making jokes.

**Warning** - While reading this book, or any in the series for that matter, make sure you are not eating, drinking, in a quiet waiting room, or any quiet place or else people may think y More...

Tara Sivec you are a genius.

Sometimes in life you just need a easy, light, hilarious book. That is exactly what you get with the Chocolate Lovers series.

I loved Seduction and Snacks, found that Futures and Frosting was ok but Troubles and Treats pretty much topped the lot.

I did miss Gavin and his hilarious outbursts a little but that doesn't mean we didn't have any, there were plenty and they were brilliant. But as well as that were treated to a whole book full of Drew and his filthy mouth an More...

I think it's safe to say after sitting on this book since November 30th 2012 after making it to page 87, that I just wont be able to finish it. I HATE NOT FINISHING A BOOK! But, I am sorry, I just can't do it.

Drew was all fun and games in the first two books. I loved him, couldn't get enough of his hilarious jokes. Well, I definitely got enough of him here. He is a woman's worst nightmare in a husband. Completely immature, and no way would I want my children thinking that his behavior is okay. More...

Rating: A- ... Heat: Warm

Troubles and Treats is Jenny and Drew's story and takes place a few years after Futures and Frosting. A few years that have been both kind and unkind to the Parritt’s. When the story opens, we find Drew and Jenny in a bit of a… dry spell, trying to navigate life after a second baby. And, considering these two sexaholics sex life has taken a serious swan dive, I’d say they’re having some issues. The fact that Drew is plagued by nightmares of Jenny's vagina having teeth, a

Drew needs to form a plan, his former sexy wife has turned from a sex kitten to using a sex swing as a baby rocker. He desperately wants the spark back in his marriage and is willing to do anything to get it. Jenny is exhausted between looking after two toddlers and the over grown child she calls her husband all she can fantasize about is sleep. Can they both get what they want?

I am so sad this is the final installment of the Chocolate Lovers series! Each book has been so good, making me cry wi More...

WELL DONE, TARA SIVEC. WELL FUCKING DONE!

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*


I have one word; HOW?! How in the holy hell does Tara Sivec continue to put out books that have me crying from laughter?! I can come up with only one logical explanation; I've said it before and you better believe I’ll say it again – Tara Sivec is an actual genius. She’s the kind of genius that talks about sexually curious ghosts, killer cats, and vibrator races. If just those three things alone don’t m More...

Tara Sivec is "bringing sexy back, bitches!" in the third and (hopefully not) final installment of the Chocolate Lovers series (I think Gavin should get a grown up story...just my opinion of course). To be honest, as much as I love Jenny's use of the wrong words ("Whitney Houston we have a problem!") and Drew's t-shirts and knack for saying something inappropriate...I wasn't sure if either or both of them had enough substance to carry an entire book. I love Claire and Carter! And Gavin is one of More...

I knew it!!! Tara didn't fail me! I super duper love it!!! The scene that I laughed so much was the "Siri Incident" :) I love Gavin, Sophia, Charlotte, Molly, Ava, Veronica and Billy ( The Sharpie incident is really cool. Thumbs up!) Andrew Senior, Carter, Claire, Liz, Jim, Jackson, Drew with his shirt collection and of course Jenny and her infamous words and reasoning. Can I just say I love them all. Gah!!! Did I say I love it???? Waaaah Just like what you said Tara you wrote it that's why it's More...

Now it is Drew and Jenny´s turn.
Everyone remember and love Drew and Jenny for their personalities. They are known as the sex addicted couple. Remember Jenny making a mold of her vagina to Drew?...... I love them.
You would think they would have the perfect marriage and perfect sex life – but as Jenny became pregnant with their son, their sex life have sunk into the toilet. It is exactly twelve months, thirteen days, nine hours, and thirty-seven minutes since they last had sex. Something Drew is q More...

I really liked Seduction and Snacks but I just HATED this book.

Despite the non-stop sexcapade hilarity and American Pie gross out hijinks, I thought the characters in Seduction and Snacks, Claire and Carter were sweet, based in something real. There was a longing and a sense that they belonged together. And the book was genuinely funny.

But this novel which shifts to Claire and Carter's friends Jenny and Drew was hideous and pointless. I cannot get past the character of Drew. I don't have words More...

Troubles and Treats is the third book in Tara Sivec’s Chocolate Lovers Series.

Very funny book!

The third book in Tara Sivec’s Chocolate Lovers Series focuses on Claire and Carter’s close friends, Jenny and Drew. The book takes you through the very hilarious twists and turns in their relationship as they attempt to rekindle their sex life!

Jenny and Drew will keep you in stitches as their dialogue will never fail to make you fall out of your chair laughing! The scene where Drew is discussing “Tuppe More...

I honestly didn’t think Tara Sivec could top herself, but she totally does with book three of the Chocolate Lover’s series Troubles and Treats! This book centers on Jenny and Drew. We are quite a few years after book two, and they have gotten married and had a couple kids. They are at that natural point where you have to adjust to being sexy and a parent.

Drew is just kinda wondering what the hell happened to the nympho he married. Since More...
