Author: Tara Sivec
Series: #1 in the Chocolate Lovers series
Rating: ☆ ☆ ☆ ☆

Description:
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.

Review:
What can I say about this book that I didn’t like, little to nothing. This book has it all a great mix of vulgar language, one night stands, sex toys and of course chocolate. This book is so well written I can say that you laugh so much you may end up with a twat tap if you laugh to hard in public.

Claire is by far one of the women you find yourself instantly connected to. Claire takes everything in stride. She does have a few moments of break down. No one is perfect. Finding out that you may be pregnant after a one night stand with a guy you don’t know and have no clue if he remembers you. She ends up back home and putting her life on hold her dreams of opening up a business with her long time friend Liz. That was a no go.

Carter is searching for the girl he slept with 5 years ago at a frat party the girl that haunts his dreams. Every time he smells chocolate he thinks of her. He cant seem to get her out of his head. The question is, is she just a dream? He spends the first part of his 5 year with his crazy ex who ends up cheating on him with his neighbor while watching well that I will leave for a surprise because I laughed so hard I about peed.

This book is full of surprises but it’s also very straight forward so you can see it coming. The characters are easy to connect with and they leave you with a happy ending. I know there are more books to this series, however, I was very happy with the way this book ended and have not found that I needed to read the others.

If you are looking for a funny, quirky romance with a touch of awe moments in it then this is the book for you.

I found these quotes to be the ones I love the most. Just a sneak peek into the craziness that is this book

Quotes
“Its a pain you forget all about once you have that sweet little baby in your arms.” Bull Shit. I CALL BULLSHIT.

“You know, I think its time i turn my vagina into an Arby’s Beef and Cheddar (minus the cheddar) and saddle myself down for a minimum of eighteen years to someone who will suck the soul and will to live right out of my body.”

“Give me a cat over a kid any day. You can open up a bag of Meow Mix, Plop it down on the floor next to a bucket of water, gone on vacation for a week and come home to an animal that is so busy licking its own ass that it has no idea you were even gone.”

Seriously you couldn’t go wrong with this book for me it gets a 4 out of 5!

I hope you pick this one up it’s a seriously great read.

Review – Someone Else’s Fairytale – E.M. Tippetts

someone else's fairytaleSomeone Else’s Fairytale
Author: E.M. Tippetts
Series: #1 in the Someone Else’s Fairytale series
Rating: ☆ ☆ ☆

Description:
Jason Vanderholt, Hollywood’s hottest actor, falls head over heels for every girl, Chloe Winters, who hasn’t gotten around to watching most of his movies. It’s the ideal fairytale… for most people. The last thing Chloe needs is public attention. It brings back dangers from the past that she’s worked her whole life to escape.

Review:
I was taking a break from all the romance I was reading. I purchased this book for free from amazon after reading a few reviews on there.
I liked the writers style. I found myself in the middle point of the book thinking it was almost over. I thought I had gotten to the twist of the book but I was wrong. This book not only a chic lit but it holds some mystery as well.

Chloe is a girl after my own heart I loved her. She is the girl that could be everyone’s best friend. She is strong smart and funny. However when it comes to men she has a complicated past in more ways than one. She holds so many secrets up until the end that you have to keep reading to see if she gets her happy ever after or not.

Chloe has a group of friends that do play a big part in her world some of them less significant than others. I found myself not to fond really of any of them they were there for her but it just seemed that they were only there some of the time. Part of that was Chloe and her will to do it on her own and not burden anyone. She is wanting to work in forensics and she works hard as it is. Not taking hand outs and just trying to prove she is not her mother in any way.

Matt who is one of her friends I found myself drawn to him and hoping he was the guy he presented himself to be. He is this cowboy who walks around with a purity ring on. You know that something interesting has got to be going on there. Is he a down home gentle man or is he just pretending.

Chloe’s mom was my least favorite she was just to much about herself to even see her daughter for who she was. Right to the end after everything I still wasn’t convinced that she wasn’t there for herself and not her daughter.

Josh when your introduced to him, he is walking on to the set of his next big movie. Next to Chloe was a guy who fast became my friend. However when I read him I imagined James Vanderbeek. I don’t know why. He treats Chloe with respect and treats her like a person just a she treats him. The friendship that they have is something that I have had myself just not with a movie star. I wanted him to end up with Chloe I wanted to know why she didn’t have feelings for him. He is doing all the right things and made her break out of her shell a little at a time. I just waited for something in his past to pop up and ruin this for them.

The story that comes out is shocking and sad. It has just the right amount of twists and turns and some great epic kissing scenes. You find yourself telling Chloe to open up her eyes and look at what is going on in front of her.

I want to share just a few quotes with you from the book that I thought were good.

Quotes
“No. You may know more than me about just about everything, but not men, I have got enough bad experiences to have a doctorate in this.”

“Come on, Chloe, I thought, English is your first language, Try to speak it coherently”

I hope you pick up Someone Else’s Fairytale. I give it a 3 out of 5 Stars. I liked it but it just felt like it was missing something in the end.
