Troubles and Treats by Tara Sivec
5+ Stars
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 disconnected 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?

My thoughts; Raise your hand if you have read Seduction and Snacks. Now raise your other hand if you have read Futures and Frosting. Now... if you are sitting there with both hands raised; First, put them down you look like a fool. And second, you MUST read Troubles and Treats. This was a totally fitting and EPIC end to a wonderful series.
This book has everything that the first two books has and more. Spending time with Drew and Jenny was so much fun. They are both ridiculous and I love them immensely! You get to follow along with them as they face the same troubles that all new parents face.
I found myself relating to Jenny on a personal level. I have been there done that and NEVER want to return. My kids are 16 and 12, so long gone are the days of diapers and sleepless nights. Now it is all about trying to argue with a twelve years old and still sound like an adult. I also came to realize that it is quite possible that I am married to Drew. He has changed his name but I am pretty convinced that he and my husband are one and the same.
It should go without saying that I laughed uncontrollably while reading Troubles and Treats. I got dirty looks from aforementioned husband for waking him up at an ungodly hour because I could not contain my laughter. I redeemed myself by reading him a few passages. He did not cackle like a hyena the way I was but he definitely laughed. ^,^
"I have to say that the ending of this book was perfect. The way Tara chose to write it is amazing. I had real tears in my eyes as it came to an end. And I will forever hope that one day we will see more from this group of friends."
I look forward to more from Tara Sivec in the future. I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next.
Be sure to read all the way to the end for a chance to win a totally awesome prize

I thought it would be a bunch of arguing and pointing fingers about whose fault it is that we’re not having sex anymore.
Maybe she doesn't think that’s the problem. Shit, maybe that isn’t the problem. Maybe it’s just my problem. She’s not faking a work injury, she’s not cheating on me…what the hell else could it be? A few years ago she cut me off from sex for a week because I gave her a Dutch Oven in bed one night. While hilarious, it’s never a good idea when your wife is naked and getting ready to mount you. There was another time when I gave her a Wet Willy when she started coming.
That wasn't meant to be hilarious, I read about it in Cosmo. When she locked me out of
the bedroom I grabbed the magazine and realized two of the pages were stuck together -
sex tips and practical jokes. Well played, Cosmo. Well played.
