Tara Sivec is a whore. OK, she really isn’t but she likes to be called one. And treated like one. And she writes like a whore. And her BFF “Liz” is too! I know this because we were roomies at Wicked Girls Book Weekend!
After reading Tara’s first book, Seduction and Snacks, I was ready to stalk her to be her BFF. One of the reasons we did the Wicked Girls Book Weekend was to lure Tara into our trap to Florida. If you have been living under a rock, Tara writes 2 different series. One is The Chocolate Lovers Series.
Seduction and Snacks (Chocolate Lovers #1)
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.
Futures and Frosting (Chocolate Lovers #2)
Troubles and Treats (Chocolate Lovers #3)
Hearts and Llamas (Chocolate Lovers Valentine’s short)

The things that happened to me while reading these books were a little crazy. I was smart though, and wore a pad the entire time at WGBW because I knew…..I knew that I would laugh so hard something was bound to come out of me (I was right).
If you haven’t read the recaps of the weekend, what are you waiting for? I have some fun videos of Tara you won’t want to miss!

If you didn’t already know it, Tara has an alter ego, as all sexy, funny, amazing women do (hehe), and she goes by T.E. Sivec (what a disguise, huh?) But it makes sense because she didn’t want people to expect funny when they read her other series, Playing with Fire. These are not funny, but they are edge-of-your seat exciting, and super hot (especially the upcoming, Because of You)
A Beautiful Lie by T.E. Sivec (Playing with Fire 1)
He saw her first, but his friend made the move.
She settled for the safer choice, but her heart knew the truth.
They love, they crave, they lie.
Garrett McCarthy, Annabelle Parker, and Milo Roberts were as close as friends could get. They shared in each other’s joy during graduations, promotions, and engagements. They consoled one another through heartache and loss.
When one of the friend’s life is tragically cut short, it’s up to the two left behind to pick up the pieces and find out the truth – no matter the cost. As they slowly start to uncover the nature of his deception, and the very powerful people behind it, they begin to question everyone and everything, even themselves.
Everyone has secrets – some do it for love while others do it for power. Those secrets can change perceptions, alter reality and sometimes destroy lives.
What do you do when you find out your whole life has been a lie?

Ricki says
My then 15 yer old son, saw the title page to Sedeuction and Snacks on my Kindle and thought it was the funniest thing he’d ever heard. To this day he always makes fun of the name of one of mom’s “porn books.”
Brooke Freeman says
OMG I love her books. I totally laughed out loud at the gym while reading, choked on food, and was constantly running w/ the books to my husband to share funny lines. Also loved A Beautiful Lie. I always recommend her books to people when they ask what to read.
Alyssa says
I’ve read The Chocolate Lovers series and I really cannot read them in public or peeps are gonna think I’m a psycho for bursting out laughing in tears.
Tina says
OMG! I have thought about stalking Tara to be my BFF too! LOL! Love, love the books! While reading I spit my cereal out all over my damn kindle… I also spent many moments wiping my eyes from tears…. I could not stop laughing! I recommend to all my book friends!!
Ana's Attic says
She’s mine. Back off bitch.
Donna M. says
If you count total strangers looking at me like I’m from another planet while sporting a toga and riding a goat around the mall because I was laughing my head of, no, nothing unusual happened to me at all.

Becky K says
I’ve read Tara(‘s book, Seduction and Snacks). I probably looked like a crazy person. Arby’s will never be the same.
Mica says
Love her books and it’s been my mission to spread the love of her books to all my reader friends. So, hopefully her sales have increased in the deep south. Also, it is not advised to read her books on airplanes you get very strange looks when you can contain your laughter. Can’t wait to read her next book!
Danielle says
OMG I have never laughed so hard while reading!! I had a few close calls when I almost didn’t make it to the bathroom!!! But I love the enhancement to my vocabulary! THANKS TARA <3
Ana's Attic says
True, I have definitely enhanced mine as well.
Kristen says
Best thing that happened…choking on water and falling off the bed from laughing. Hubby wakes up with a “what the hell are you doing on the floor?” No “are you ok” or anything. My dog was concerned though. He came and sniffed me then went back to bed. Lol
Ana's Attic says
Haha! Love it!
Sara G. says
I have all 3 of her books on my Kindle, but have yet to read them. I need to get on that, huh?

Scheva says
I work in a small quiet bank with about 15 coworkers. I was reading Llamas online last month and got to Jenny saying ” many pettings” and I thought it was so fucking funny that l slapped my hand down flat on my desk without thinking. It made a very loud slap/gun sound and one of the tellers across the lobby screamed. Oops.

Karen says
I have read Seduction and Snacks and loved it! My husband did think I was strange when he would look at me after I squeeled, I would have my hand up half covering my eyes cuz I was so embarrassed for Claire when she would get in her hilarious situations. I do the same thing for scary movies it is like if you can’t see them they can’t see you? lol
Bookworm Brandee says
I seriously have never laughed as hard as I did reading Seduction & Snacks! 🙂 I did actually laugh my husband awake, and I figured as long as he was awake, I’d read the funny parts to him!! Then we both laughed hysterically! And I have to say that I laughed just as hard reading all the updates from WGBW! (smart move with wearing a pad, by the way Ana!)
Vicki Deatelhauser says
Haven’t read Tara’s books yet, but I just bought Seduction & Snacks and can’t wait to read it!!

Erica Pillera says
I starting reading seduction and snacks at work (stupid I know) I was laughing so hard I nearly peed myself and my face went completely red from holding in the laughter that I got a few weird looks at the office. I was warned though so I should have known to wear some sort if protection. Bahahaha

So I seriously wanted to find chocolate scented lotion so I could see if it turned me on as much as it did Carter( I found some at a local sex shop and it did the trick), almost had an orgasm and laughed so hard I choked on my drink and then spit said drink all over my girlfriend and scared the shit out of her. Oh and yeah I may have shed a few tears also
