Troubles and Treats by Tara Sivec BOOK REVIEW



Amazon Book Description:

Drew and Jenny have spent years being the envy of their friends with their out of control sex lives - well, not really. Mostly it makes their friends want to throw up in their mouths a little.

With two little kids and two busy lives, for the first time, Drew and Jenny aren't on the same page in the bedroom. Drew will stop at nothing to get his previously amorous wife back in the sack, and Jenny will do anything for a full night of sleep.

Carter and Claire, and Jim and Liz are their usual (un)helpful selves and are full of advice for the
discontented duo, wanting nothing more than to help restore order to the usually happy couple's lives.

In the third and final installment of the Chocolate Lovers Series, will Drew and Jenny find the spark that's been missing in their marriage, or will the trouble they're having cause a stickier situation than the time Jenny poured honey all over Drew and he fused himself to a tree?

BOOK REVIEW:
SOOOOOOOOOO…… Where should I even start…..Let me first say, I haven’t EVER read a Series of books that has been hot/sexy and so freaking FUNNY all at the same time…. AND for clarification of FUNNY, I mean tears in your eyes, my side hurts I’m laughing so hard. While reading this book late one night, I was laughing so hard my kitten seriously was looking at me like I was losing my mind (Sorry House for disturbing your beauty sleep at 2 am).

This book is Drew and Jenny’s Story. Now from the first two books, I already loved these two characters (This just brought it home for me). How do I put this, they are not your vanilla/normal couple (serious common sense is lacking at moments!!). For example, let’s put up a sex swing in our bedroom but instead use it as a baby swing (def a WTH moment in this book!)

Despite everything in their lives, Drew/Jenny have always had one thing going for them SEX! To their friends (also I’m just going to add all readers of this series as well) they have to be the some of the FREAKIEST people EVER!  Well they also are parents now and yes it’s taken a toll on their sex life. In this book we WITNESS the extent these two are willing to go through to get the sexual fire back in their marriage….. AND yes I say WITNESS because as you read this…..GEEZ there are certain scenes that will probably imprint on your brain. I will never forget the baby making/explosive diarrhea bathroom scene. (I’M serious….nope not giving it away LOL).

As you witness the crazy things drew/jenny do to get the spark back in their marriage, you also get to see how truly in sync they are with each other. This was a huge part for me at the end, because in the beginning I was really thinking these two people don’t need children.

The supporting characters in this book were awesome and equally as funny (Carter/Claire and Jim/Liz). However, the Kids and Drew’s father (the drill sergeant in my mind) win the award for best supporting characters! So I’m going to take the time now to say I LOVE GAVIN!! This kid is FREAKING Hilarious! There is one part of this book were the men are babysitting the children and the little girls get their heads/hair stuck together. Oh NOOOO what do you do now?

“Get me some scissors, a razor blade, jar of peanut butter, and some safety goggles.” “I got this one.” – Gavin

Like the rest of Mrs. Sivec’s books in this series only one word can be used to describe this one, HILARIOUS! Despite all the insanely funny things happening in this book the reader does get to see the true love drew/jenny have for each other. This couple really makes you think, YUP there is really someone for everyone. For the sake of me not wanting to give anything else away, I’m going to stop writing NOW. PLEASE read this book and laugh as hard as I did.

GREAT JOB MRS. SIVEC on a wonderful series.
RATING: 4.5 STARS/A

Cheers,
Dr. Books
