There is a party in my pants for the release of Tara Sivec’s Love and Lists!
If you guys don’t know this already, I have a major girl crush on Tara Sivec. I created Wicked Book Weekend last year so I could stalk meet her. There are not too many women I’d make out with, but yeah, Tara and I made out at the next event. With tongue. And Mr. Ana watched. (It’s been 3 months and he still brings it up lol)
The Chocolate Lovers Series by Tara Sivec is my favorite book series EVER. Scary things happened to my body. You can read about my vagina incident that happened while reading Seduction and Snacks.
My favorite character in The Chocolate Lover’s Series was 4 year old Gavin. When I read the books, I swore that Tara had hidden cameras in my house because my kid and Gavin are the same child. Since my son grew up with a brother 8 years older, big bro loves to teach little bro how to be completely inappropriate. It’s like a game to him. Add to that ME (queen inappropriate), and you’ve got the recipe for a Gavin. My kid loves to make penis comments. A lot. And I posted photos of him on a stripper pole yesterday, so you can see, 12 year old boy humor is my favorite.

Chocolate Lovers: Sweet Stories About Love, Friendship, and Inappropriate Behavior

Well, Love and Lists is the first in a spin-off series called Chocoholics. Gavin is no longer 4, he’s 25!
Love and Lists is the first book in the Chocolate Lovers spinoff – Chocoholics: The foul-mouthed offspring tell their stories.
Twenty-five-year-old Gavin Ellis has always had the love and support of his family ever since he was a little boy and couldn’t stop talking about his penis. He’s also always had their unsolicited advice and uncanny knack of embarrassing him at all costs. Now that he’s an adult and trying to convince the love of his life to love him back, things haven’t changed very much from when he was younger.
When Gavin’s best friend Tyler suggests he make a to-do list of items that will ensure he wins the girl, Gavin is one-hundred-percent on board: after a few six packs.
After puking in the shrubs, a bad experience with Viagra, a Sex-Ed course gone wrong, and a slew of other mishaps courtesy of his family and friends, Gavin is pretty sure this list will be the death of him.
Sometimes, trying to make someone love you with a list isn’t always the best idea. Especially when “Show her your penis” is the first “to-do” item…

Tara Sivec is a wife, mom, chauffeur, cheerleading coach, soccer coach, babysitter, shortorder cook, genius and albino squirrel hunter. She lives in Ohio with her husband and two kids. In her spare time she likes read, write and cover things in chocolate. Most of her material comes from real life experiences with family and friends. Lucky for them, the names have been changed to protect the innocent (aka, drunk).
Tara also writes under the pen name T.E. Sivec where she can be serious, suspenseful and not at all funny.
