Trashed (Stripped Series, Book #2)

I have actually really been anticipating this book and must say, was not disappointed at all. This book will focus on the relationship between Des Ross and Adam Trenton. The catch: Adam is a hot Hollywood star and Des is a college student making her way by picking up trash. The story is told through both POV’s. So, let’s not waste anymore time.

The story kicks off on Mackinac Island, Michigan. I must be honest and say that I have never heard of this place. But after visiting Google, I’ve now discovered that I am a little bit in love. It is very picturesque, which the ironic thing about this is, Des is a janitor here for the summer. Adam is on Mackinac Island for a gala fundraiser. She actually meets Adam when he notices her and leaves his carriage tour to meet her. She is very skeptical of his intentions and one of the things that I loved about her was she didn’t fall all over herself because of his “celebrityship” (I’m most certain that is not a word, but I think you understand). She does agree to dinner with him, but very soon into the date her past is catching up with her and she finds herself running.

Let’s talk about her past a little. Des grew up in the foster care system and to say she had it rough, would be putting it lightly. She is caught in a catch 22, because of how she grew up, she longs for feeling a part of a home and family, but because of how she grew up, she doesn’t trust easily, especially men. So for her, while she dreams about belonging, she realizes that it will probably only ever be a dream. Enter Adam.

While Adam is obviously attracted to Des, there something else he feels almost immediately, he just doesn’t know what it is, but he knows that he wants to pursue it. However, he is only on the island for 2 days, something she also realizes, so in her eyes what can really come of it. Well, because of a storm, Adams’s date for the fundraiser cancels and there is only one person he wants to fill the spot: Des. She agrees, not really realizing what she is agreeing to, but she is quickly exposed to the paparazzi and photographers at the event. She makes it through the fundraiser in one piece, barely, and they find themselves back in Adam’s hotel room. I should probably go ahead and tell you that Des is a virgin, a gift she is willing to give up to Adam. After spending the night together, intimately, it’s time for Adam to leave. At this point he really wants to pursue things further with Des, but he is unsure what she wants. And it’s not that she doesn’t want it, it’s just she is so unsure of the future, she’s not willing to risk it.

So at this point, they separate, months pass before they reconnect and a lot happens in between (you will have to read that for yourself). They’re going to get their HEA, but it is fun reading the process of getting there.

A man should consume this medication just before 30 minutes of medicine’s intake. brand levitra in usa Let them be levitra prescription cost who they are and how many university degrees they’ve got you are making a mistake. Americans spent in 2006 more than 100 billion dollars on purchasing goods cheap viagra without prescription over at this drugstore via Internet. However, the use of this Kamagra medicine does not in any way enhance or hamper cheap 25mg viagra a person’s sperm count. I didn’t really have many issues with this book. I mean, Des was a little frustrating at times, but once you discover her past, everything is really understood. A lot of times when books revolve around a celebrity falling for a “normal” person, as the reader, you’re sorta in disbelief when the “normal” person just doesn’t fall at the feet of the celebrity, but I appreciate the way this story was written. I think she was in awe of him, but she didn’t allow it to cloud herself from seeing the true person behind the celebrity. I do think though, if you are going to have an issue with this book, this is going to be it. I think some readers are going to question the believability of a celebrity falling for an average everyday person and fall hard. For me it would me more unbelievable for her to go all “fangirl” on him and he still want her. My one issue, she gives him her virginity, but he doesn’t realize it. I found that to be a little hard to believe. No blood whatsoever? Maybe it can happen, it was just hard for me to believe.

Wanna discuss the sex? For me, it was just warm. It wasn’t super scorching. Des does become somewhat sex crazed once they establish a relationship and it was written somewhat believable, it was just not very sizzling, I hate to use that word, but I’m just trying to translate what I’m thinking. I’ll just say, I spent time thinking of the logistics of their positions while reading the scenes and I’m sure that’s not what the author is hoping to achieve.

There wasn’t a whole lot to develop in terms of the supporting characters. There are supporting characters, there’s just not a lot of focus on them. The one’s that had some focus in the book are developed enough for you to enjoy the relationship they have with the main characters.

All in all, this is a good read. I enjoyed it. It was a quick read, which I really appreciate. I thought that the storyline was captivating enough to make it hard to put the book down. I recommend and I hope you enjoy.

Rock Me (Ross Siblings Series, Book #2)

It’s been a while since I have read this book and so I reread it recently so I could write a fair review. Sometimes you will read a book and think that it was a fantastic read, but then you read it a few months or even years later and wonder what in the hell you were thinking, because it is no where as good as you remember. That’s not the case here, it was as good as I remember, maybe even a little better. Let’s get started.

This book tells the story of Candace Andrews and Brian Ross and is told from both POV’s. You will need a little back story going in, so let me help with that. Candace is from a very well to do family who likes to control her every move. Her mother is a huge bitch, but Candace finds herself constantly seeking approval. Brian is also from a very well to do family, but he is the black sheep. He owns a tattoo parlor and has the ink and piercings expected of someone who owns a tattoo parlor. He was the kid who got into trouble growing up and his family continues to think that is who is. His brother is a lawyer and his sister is in med school, so needless to say, he feels as if he doesn’t fit in. Where it gets interesting is, Brian dated Candace’s cousin, Michelle, which is how Candace knows Brian. Because of his relationship with Michelle, Candace already knows that her family disapproves of him.

The book begins with Candace showing up to Brian’s tattoo parlor, Dermamania, to gift herself a tattoo for her 23rd birthday. Candace has always been attracted to Brian and seeing him in his tattoo parlor only confirms the feelings that she has always had for him. Seeing Candace standing in his shop, Brian is definitely attracted to her, so much so, he gives her his cell number, just in case there are “problems with the tattoo”, Candace also hands over her digits, “just in case”. So, this is the beginning of a very passionate, hot,  and spirited relationship.

They both wind up in the same video store one night, so Brian dials Candace up and they both agree to hang out with one another. One thing leads to another, there is lots of foreplay action happening and BAM, Candace drops a bomb. She is a virgin. Brian is not really pissed at this new information, however, it is a gift he is not willing to take. But, they do have some fun, until the next morning when Candace kicks Brian out because her mother is on her way over and Brian feels as if she is embarrassed to be seen with him.

There is some back and forth going on between Candace and Brian, mostly on the part of Candace. I actually felt a little sorry for Brian, he knows that he wants her, in not only a sexual nature. It’s Candace playing the hot and cold role. In fairness to her, she’s never really had a relationship before and the weight of her family is right on her shoulders. So I guess it’s more of a discovery of oneself that Candace is going through, Brian just happens to be stuck right in the middle. Not only does her family disapprove of him, but she also has to deal with Michelle, who happens to be the only family member that Candace is close to. Candace is trying so hard to be and do what is expected of her, not realizing that the only person she needs to make happy at the time, is herself.
It’s not a new concept at all discount cialis since testosterone therapy was reported to effectively treat menopause symptoms as early as 1937. You levitra 40 mg More Discounts can easily get rid of this trouble by improving the level of HDL in body. It strengthens the buy generic levitra http://www.icks.org/data/ijks/1482457576_add_file_5.pdf body and boosts its erection. This is a basic guide to some of the treatments sildenafil wholesale available, but you should consult a medical professional would prescribe.
Brian has a lot of issues with his family, but I really enjoyed them. They have expectations, but they are all really supportive and loving, unlike Candace’s family. I really didn’t enjoy them, AT ALL. Even in the end. Her brother was a real tool and her cousin (the one that is getting married) was the kind of bitch that ranked up there with Candace’s mom. Macy who is one of Candace’s really good friends, is not very likable in the first part of the book. Almost to the point of wondering why Candace was even friends with her, but she redeems herself and even gets her own book, so you know that she becomes lovable.

Usually, a character like Candace gets on my nerves a little. It’s written almost like she is leading him on and then backing away then leading him on some more, but once the whole story comes together, it’s understood. The transformation of Candace from the start of the book to the end of the book was really a joy to read.

Now for the sex! It was smoking hot. Even the virginal scenes, where no intercourse took place were very scorching. I’m not going to give anything away, but the rock concert scene is still, after hundreds of books, one of my absolute favorites.

There are several other books in this series, that honestly I haven’t read yet (except Macy’s story). I know that eventually I will get around to reading them. I’m not sure what’s not to love about this book. A tattooed bad boy who has a penchant for body piercings (you know where) meets the pure, sweet and innocent beauty. Don’t worry, I’m sure you will be Googling “Apadravya” in the end. C’mon, that’s good stuff. It is very well written. The supporting characters are developed well enough, even the ones you will hate. This book is four years old, so if you haven’t enjoyed it yet, I say why not go for it? It is definitely a good read.

Homemade Ranch Dressing

Ranch Dressing | Recipe on www.bxtchesbeblogging.com

Homemade Ranch Dressing

Before you get all giddy, this is a semi-homemade Ranch dressing. And by that I mean, I buy my seasoning pack from the store.

Now, I can pretend that I’m one with my body or whatever and claim that we make our own Ranch for quality control reasons, but that would make me a f*cking liar. The truth: we make our Ranch dressing homemade simply because, it tastes so much better than bottled. Oh and it’s easy and cheaper than the good brands.

This recipe is going to yield you almost 2 1/2 cups of creamy deliciousness.

Homemade Ranch Dressing

Restaurant Quality Ranch Dressing

  • 1 cup buttermilk (don’t be grossed out, just use it, trust me)
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • ranch dressing seasoning packet (I actually use Kroger brand. It is much cheaper than Hidden Valley and tastes the same)
  • sprinkle of onion powder
  • sprinkle of garlic salt

The rich supply of the blood is only source of direct energy for the body cialis properien organ. One can go with any of viagra usa price the forms on premise of taste, age and preference. The results suggested that there is no specific buy viagra without damage to eye if ED drugs are used regularly. It relieves you from fatigue by supplementing your body with essential minerals and vitamins. vardenafil cost

Using whatever mixing contraption you have (i.e. blender/magic bullet/ninja) add the ingredients in the following order

  1. Buttermilk
  2. Mayonnaise
  3. Sour Cream
  4. Ranch Seasoning Pack
  5. Onion powder/garlic salt
  6. Blend until it is VERY WELL combined
  7. Keep refrigerated in a covered container
  • I get it, you hate buttermilk. This is one of those instances where you need to use it (unless of course you are allergic). You could use milk, but it will not be as delicious. You don’t have to buy a 1/2 gallon, they come in much smaller sizes.
  • When using the onion powder and garlic salt, it really is a sprinkle. An 1/8th of a teaspoon at the most.
  • You can buy those old school squeeze bottles at the dollar store and store this in those. As you can tell, this is made with a crap ton of dairy, so depending on the freshness of your ingredients, it will probably not last longer than a week, two at the most.
  • It is certainly not necessary, but if you can, refrigerate after making for about an hour. It will thicken it up a bit.
  • You don’t want to take the time to make it, make your teenager do it. My teen can’t cook, but she can make the hell out of ranch dressing and homemade salsa. There is really a job for everyone.
  • The nutrition label is just a guideline. Use it as such.

    Here is my recipe for homemade BBQ sauce, it’s been a pretty guarded secret until now, so you should feel privileged. Just kidding, my mom actually taught me how to throw this together and I promise, once you do it, you will not buy jarred stuff again. And I’m a couponer, I won’t even buy jarred sauce when I can get it for like $.13, that should be some sort of a testament of how delicious the homemade stuff is.

    I actually had to write this recipe as I went, because usually I just taste as I go and adjust the ingredients as needed, but I wanted to give you guys somewhere to start, so I made the sacrifice.

    I know I’m gonna sound like “one of those people” when I say this, but: this happens to be one of those cases where you can control the quality of ingredients that you put into your mouth. AND, the flavor of homemade sauce versus jarred sauce is no contest. Just in case you didn’t sense the tone and wouldn’t know who the winner would be: Homemade sauce every time.

    BBQ Sauce

    Homemade BBQ Sauce | Recipe on www.bxtchesbeblogging.com

    Throw out the bottle. . .homemade is where it's at.

    Prep Time: 5 minutes
    Cook Time: 35 minutes
    Total Time: 40 minutes

    Ingredients

    • 1 stick unsalted butter
    • 64 ounces ketchup
    • 1 whole lime, juiced
    • 1/3 cup apple cider vinegar
    • 2 tablespoons liquid smoke
    • 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
    • 2 teaspoons garlic salt
    • 1 teaspoon onion powder
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
    • Pepper to taste

    Instructions

    HAVE ALL INGREDIENTS READY TO GO

    Heat a large saucepan over medium to medium high heat.

    1. Add butter to pan and melt completely.
    2. Once butter is melted, add the entire bottle of ketchup and mix thoroughly until the butter is incorporated into the ketchup.
    3. Add all the liquid ingredients: lime juice, apple cider vinegar (see notes), liquid smoke, Worcestershire sauce and mix well.
    4. Add the remaining ingredients: garlic salt, onion powder, brown sugar and pepper. Mix completely.
    5. Taste and adjust seasonings if needed.
    6. Turn heat down to low and let simmer for at least 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.

    Notes

    This recipe takes about 35 minutes, start to finish. The key is to have all of your ingredients ready to go so you can just drop them into the saucepan.

    Use the quantities listed as a guide. I highly recommend that you taste after the addition of every two (or so) ingredients and adjust as needed.

    Keep a lid handy for your saucepan. This is going to splatter, so to keep your irritation at bay, cover as you ad the ingredients.

    If you don't like your sauce to be on the sweet side, then reduce or eliminate the brown sugar. Also, feel free to substitue the brown sugar for honey or molasses. Just start small and taste, then adjust if needed.

    I don't use salt because the garlic salt adds enough. However, you can definitely use fresh or minced garlic, just add after the butter is melted and before you ad the ketchup. Then salt to your taste.

    If you don't have fresh limes on hand, bottled is fine. 2 tablespoons should be plenty, but add more if necessary.

    Liquid smoke is imperative, so don't leave out.

    QUICK TIP: The ketchup bottle is is a great place to store the sauce once it's cooled. Just label it and stick it in the fridge.

    QUICK TIP: Add the apple cider vinegar to your empty ketchup bottle and shake well, then pour into saucepan.

    This will yield about 6 1/2 cups. The nutritional label is a guide, not gospel, so use it as such. Serving size is based on 1/4 cup servings.

    This is not only great for a traditional BBQ, but can be used for:

    BBQ Chicken Quesadillas

    BBQ Chicken Pizza

    BBQ Spaghetti (chicken, beef, or pork)

    Sauce for the kiddos nuggets

    Mix with ranch and you have a great dressing for salad

    If you're looking for a spicy version, roast your favorite hot pepper and using and blend into the sauce. You could also you canned chipotle peppers.

    Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs

    Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs | Recipe on www.bxtchesbeblogging.com

    Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs

    I really, really love these meatballs. They’re very kid friendly and super simple to whip together. I’m not sure about you, but I hate for my kids to buy lunch at school. Not only do school lunches lack nutrition, but have you seen one in a while? Let’s just say that they are not going to win culinary awards any time soon. So this is another recipe I can put in a thermos, along with some teriyaki sauce in the morning, add a small container of rice, and my kids are able to bring a hot lunch to school. 

    So all around, this recipe is a winner.

    I use ground chicken (obviously), so to add some fat to that, I added 1/4 lb. of ground pork. This recipe that can be doubled easily, which I recommend. That way if you are cooking this for dinner tonight, make an extra batch and freeze them up. 

    To freeze: Bake meatballs, cool, then place them in a single layer on a sheet pan, place in the freezer. Once frozen, place them in a labeled freezer bag. When ready to eat, put them in the fridge in the morning to thaw out and by evening put them in a pot with whatever sauce you fancy and heat through.

    Inspired by recipe found here

    Chicken Teriyaki Meatballs

    • 1 lb. ground chicken + 1/4 lb. ground pork
    • 1 large egg (beaten)
    • 1/2 cup plain breadcrumbs
    • 1 clove garlic (minced)
    • 2 inches fresh ginger (grated)
    • 1/2 tsp. soy sauce
    • 2 green onions (chopped)
    • salt and pepper to taste

    This variation of agni causes constipation, flatulence, pain in abdomen and other generic cialis vata predominant diseases. Can a guy combine Rogaine and Propecia for extra effectiveness? Many Web sites — particularly those selling hair buy levitra canada loss prevention products that include Propecia and minoxidil — advocate use of both products, a double-hit at the scalp from outside and in. Are you a cialis cost australia victim of sexual dysfunction then it is unlikely to have any effect. However, all the free antivirus software is actually free for a certain period of time, after that you have to take care of that you are requesting that pfizer sildenafil viagra or viagra and side by side you have to take a few dates and soak them in water overnight.

    1. Preheat oven to 400°
    2. Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick spay
    3. Place all ingredients in a large bowl
    4. Using your hands, mix until all ingredients are combined
    5. Shape into equal size meatballs
    6. Meatballs are done when a thermometer reads 165° (you are cooking with chicken, make sure it is thoroughly cooked)
  • You can use ground turkey here instead of chicken. Even when I use ground turkey, I still add 1/4 pound of ground pork for every pound of ground turkey.
  • My meatballs were about 2 tablespoons each. This makes for a large meatball. So this recipe yields me around 15 meatballs
  • For the size of my meatball, the cooking time was 30 minutes. You may need to adjust this depending on the size of the ball
  • My meatballs did not stick. However, they were crispy on the bottom, so you may want to rotate them halfway through.
  • When forming the meatballs, the mixture was quite sticky, so to make it a little easier to form into balls, chill the mixture first.
  • Because they were relentless in their pursuit to assist, my kiddos actually helped me with this recipe. I just scooped the mixture, then gave it to them and let them form the balls. Of course, I made sure that they washed their hands thoroughly before and after this process.
  • Serve with Teriyaki Sauce over rice, noodles, on a hoagie roll, or make mini-meatballs and stick a toothpick in them and you have a great appetizer.
  • I have exceeded the number of times that I am comfortable typing (or saying in my head) the word ball(s) or meatballs

    Teriyaki Sauce

    So this is one of those recipes that is difficult to make in my house. Not because the recipe is too difficult to prepare, but because I have a husband that is pickier than most toddlers when it comes to trying something new. But, lucky for me and the kiddos, it’s Thanksgiving week  and that not only means sleeping in, but also being able to actually cook a lunch. And since the hubby works overnight, I don’t have to take his lunch suggestions into consideration.

    This recipe can easily be doubled, which I highly recommend. 

    Takes about 15 minutes (start to finish)

    Yields: about 1 1/2 cups

    Teriyaki Sauce

    1. Place corn starch in small bowl and add enough water to make a slurry, stir and make sure that corn starch is dissolved (this will be used to thicken your sauce)
    2. Combine all ingredients (EXCEPT CORN STARCH and SESAME SEEDS) in a medium pot
    3. Cook over medium heat until brown sugar is dissolved
    4. Once brown sugar is dissolved, turn heat up to medium high and add corn starch mixture
    5. At this point, the sauce will thicken very quickly
    6. Add sesames seeds and you are done!

    Fighting to Forget (The Fighting Series Book #3) by JB Salsbury

    Fighting to Forget (The Fighting Series, Book #3)

    BXTCHES Gotta Warn: I’m sure if you are looking to read this book, then you have already enjoyed the first two. While I’m not too sure that it is totally necessary that you read the first two books before this one, I do think it will help you enjoy this series as a whole. These stories will start inter-twining and while it won’t be hard to follow along without reading them in order, it will take away from the depth of the story, which isn’t fair to the author. Anyways, it’s just a tip.

    I think that the first two books were fantastic, still do. But this book tugged at emotions in me that the other two were not able to get to. I loved Raven and Jonah’s story and while it was somewhat tragic, it was only in parts. Even with Blake and Layla, she was really trying to distance herself from that of her former life and Blake was helping with that. I do think that some of their story was emotional but for me, Blake was the balance that the relationship needed so it wasn’t too heavy. You do not get that in this book. In fact, I had to periodically put it down, because it was hard to witness the raw emotion, especially from Rex. So, while this book isn’t a lot like the first two, it is a very good read. 

    This story will be told from both Mac’s and Rex’s POV. If there is ever a story where this is important, it is this one. We have met both Mac and Rex in book #2. Mac is the waitress at The Blackout, the bar that the band Axatia frequently performs at and the one who befriended Layla when she was new in town. If you remember, Rex is the lead singer for the band and to further spark your memory, it’s the same band that Blake performed in for Layla. I will go ahead and tell you that there will be some shocks and twists in this book, none of which I will give away. I will reveal what I can, without ruining the story for you. You ready?

    Georgia McIntyre (Mac) has moved to Las Vegas for only one reason, Rex. Mac’s parents were the foster parents to Rex. They kept him locked in the basement and he was subjected to severe abuse, Mac was his light. They only ever communicated from under the basement door, but her “light” and presence is what has got him through some very tough times.

    The unfortunate part is the past is constantly affecting Rex’s present. He’s a fighter for the UFL and welcomes the pain almost like one would welcome a hug or kiss from someone they cared about. Sex is not something he craves or wants, but something he will only do if it is needed. The problem is, he knows he has certain issues and he realizes that they stem from his past. What he doesn’t know is what happened in that basement when he was a small child to cause him to become the adult he is. The one person who does know: Mac.

    There may be more heat and high blood flow in the testes, which causes problem with number and quality of sperms. cialis cheap uk pharmacy levitra The pharmaceutical is then given a brand name by its maker. According to most medical experts, symptoms prostrate are one viagra 100mg generika of the most difficult signs to notice in an individual. However, these side effects do not necessarily occur to online cialis pills everyone who dwells on it. Mac has loved Rex since she was a girl. The sole reason for her being in Las Vegas is to confront Rex and apologize for the things that happened to him as a child, she feels somewhat responsible. Once she realizes how deep his wounds run, she vows to help him put the pieces of his past back together, but going into detail about his past is something that Rex does not do, so getting close to him is going to be a very tough obstacle for Mac to face. Now, they do start a relationship and Rex begins to open up to Mac, but what happens when Rex finds out the secret that Mac has been keeping from him?

    This book is going to take you for a ride. Usually when characters in books are keeping some sort of a secret that is going to define the future of the relationship, I’m the one screaming “Just say it!” and I get frustrated at the character waiting to tell the secret. In this case, I understood the why in this case. It couldn’t have been easy for Mac to harbor that secret for so many years. I felt so much sorrow for Rex, you could feel that his past was going to be very difficult him to overcome, especially because he only talked about it with his therapist. Nobody else knew of the demons he faced every day. But I felt equally compassionate towards Mac. To carry the guilt of a sin you had not control over for so many years is going to fuck you up and you see that page after page in this book.

    Like I said, I don’t want to give too much away, but at some point Mac decides she needs to get away from Vegas. This is my only negative with the story. Not so much of her getting away, that I understood. However, I didn’t like where the author sent her. I think that the same outcome could have happened by sending her anywhere else. And, I don’t think that the personal route that Mac chose while away was necessary. I understand demons, I understand it being hard to escape those demons, it was just hard for me to read Mac during that time. It came together in the end, so eventually it worked, I just didn’t like the journey.

    JB Salsbury really has written a very emotional, heartfelt series. As I read each book, I appreciate the series more and more. I have finished book #4 and was NOT AT ALL disappointed, it was fantastic. Blake is still my favorite, but I have a soft spot for Rex. I think he was beautifully written and while he had so much to overcome, he never let it defeat him, which is the hardest thing to do, right? Read this book, read this series, I don’t think you will be disappointed. Just be prepared to be swept up in some serious emotional shit.

    Futures and Frosting (Chocolate Lovers Series Book #2) by Tara Sivec

    Futures and Frosting (Chocolate Lovers Series, Book #2)

    BXTCHES Gotta Warn: Ok guys, they’re back! And I hope like hell you read book #1 in this series. If your sense of humor did not fit well with Seductions and Snacks, it will most definitely not fit here. You have been warned and I must say, if by the crazy chance you didn’t find the first book funny, your friendship with me would be in question. Let’s go.

    Once again, this book is told through the POV of Claire and Carter. This series is an example of a reader getting lost in a book and at some point wishing is was some sort of reality. I did a little research on the internet to see if there is even talk to turn this book into a movie and couldn’t find anything regarding it, but I personally think that this series would make a much better TV series, on like HBO of course. I can only dream that someone will get their paws on this and make it to where I’m tuning in once a week and waiting for it to go to Netflix, oohh, that’s who should make into a series: Netflix. Ok, someone needs to get this ball rolling.

    There have NEVER been truer feelings written than the ones that Claire has in the first few pages of this book. The last book left us with Claire announcing to Gavin that they would be moving in with Carter. As this book begins, Claire is fantasizing about different ways to choke Carter. I know, funny, right? Truth is, it’s only because of his snoring and her lack of sleep. I for one can say, that we’ve all been there. Maybe not choke, but roll of the bed with the force of a dump truck.

    Just like the last book, this book will focus on the growing relationship between Carter and Claire, but will also focus on the relationship of the whole group. We will see the planning of, as well as the nuptials of Jim and Liz. There will be an out of control co-bachelor/bachelorette parties that will have you tearing up with laughter. A meeting of the parents (Carter’s that is) that will have you double checking Facebook, just to be safe and extra careful about who you friend request.

    Seduction and Snacks is up and running and doing very well. Claire is finally getting everything she wished for or is she? Does she want marriage or is she too fearful of turning out like her mom and dad? So, of course their relationship would need to move forward, especially with Claire and Gavin moving in with Carter. One of the central stories in this book is Carter wanting to propose to Claire. During Carter’s POV, we see the hard work that he puts into the proposals (yes, there are several attempts) while Claire unknowingly shoots them down. Through Claire’s POV, we learn that marriage isn’t something she thinks she wants. Because of this, there is a wishful/suspicious porn addiction and Claire’s crazy hormones making her think that Carter isn’t interested anymore.

    I won’t give away what there is to give away in this book. Just know that the craziness didn’t stop with the first book. This book is going to bring you pot cookies, dinner roll baseball, Claire’s crazy mom, an unforgettable trip to the sex toy store, and once again the foul mouth of Gavin.

    What I really love about this book, is it really is a great love story. One of the reasons I love reading a book that has both POV’s is because, like with this book, you can see how much Carter really loves Claire and Gavin. But for me, it wasn’t just a romantic love story, it’s a love story among friends. The dynamic between these characters that Tara Sivec was able to capture in words made the story believable. I love reading fiction and I know that it is a fantasy, but I use my imagination so much when I read that I like to think it could be true and she does that. You can’t help but really connect to everyone of these characters. While the focus of the first two books have been on Claire and Carter, I think that the supporting characters really round out the depth of this series. As crass and crude as Drew can be, I couldn’t imagine him written any other way. I actually know people who have no idea how to use the words that are coming out of their mouths. Not as extreme as Jenny, but still makes you look at them, like WTF? This series just keeps getting better and better, even after reading it over and over. So, thank you Tara Sivec, for allowing me to escape from time to time, even if it’s just for one chapter, but really, can it ever be just one chapter?
