Book Review: Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec

 

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. (Description from http://www.amazon.com)

My thoughts:

 

I bought this book for my Kindle with high hopes. Read reviews that said it was laugh out loud funny, so I kept it for a time that I might need that. Like when the Northeast has been threatened by a hurricane and we might be without power for days and my boys might be home... for days. The book started out funny but then...

 

I don't consider myself a prude (but I'm sure classmates from high school might beg to differ) but I have never read a book that finds more ways to say penis or vagina and it was just too much for me. And the 4 year old had quite a potty mouth. I mean, I do too(especially when driving) and I know my boys know all of the four letter words, but it was overkill and stopped being funny the second time he said "Holy Shit!"  Too much trashy talk from every character. I sure hope I never meet people who talk this way in real life.

As for the story itself, it had potential but was poorly executed. I don't see how people could give this 5 stars on amazon. Seriously. Not recommended!
