Publisher's summary

Claire is a 20-something, single mom who 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.

Good easy read.

Would you try another book from Tara Sivec and/or Romy Nordlinger?

If she had someone else narrate it.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

It was very hard to distinguish between some of the people. I would be listing along and have to sit back and figure out who was talking the first few times it happened I actually had to skip back.

I Legitimately Cry-Laughed...Often

I absolutely despise exaggerations like LOL because VERY rarely do people actually laugh out loud at the things they "lol." THIS book, however, had me laughing out loud and doubled over at points. The little boy's "sword" scene and his "Cops" theme song made me stop the recording for 5 minutes during which time I was forced to explain to my daughter why I was vapor-locked in the kitchen mid-dishes, lest she call the men in white suits.

From the first 90 seconds, this book absolutely sucks you in. The narrator is AMAZING in the female POV, but she has very little male voice game, so his POV would have been better told by a male narrator, BUT that is really the ONLY imperfection. This was a sweet romance in addition to being raucously hilarious. If you liked the Jane Jameson/Naked Werewolf series by Molly Harper, you will absolutely LOVE this. The humor was like a Molly Harper book on crack. There's a nice teaser of Book 2 after the credits, and I will definitely be picking that one up as well.

lots of drinking

the story has laughs. it also has tons of drinking. the drinking part just gets too stupid. I think , at least for me, it was too distracting.
I liked the characters, the story got to long. the humor ran into the rediculous.

Cheesey, cheesey, cheesey.

Would you try another book from Tara Sivec and/or Romy Nordlinger?

In a word, no. Talent is not required to form sentences where cursing is used every third word and vulgarity is the main theme. It takes talent to write with entertaining and clever humour. There was none of that. There''s nothing wrong with smut when used to enhance a theme but this was just potty mouth level.

What was most disappointing about Tara Sivec’s story?

I enjoy ckever humour. There was none of that. The characters were supposed to be in their 20's but the dialogue echoed that of badly behaved young teenagers.

Who would you have cast as narrator instead of Romy Nordlinger?

I don't know. It was difficult to work out which character was supposed to be speaking as Romy was niot able to moderate her voice to differentiate between the characters.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Seduction and Snacks?

Multiple scenes but so many there would hardly be anything unchanged.

Any additional comments?

I read from many genres and a plethora of authors, snd I do enjoy a funny entertaining book. I was looking forward to laughing through a well-written story. This was not it.

So Vulgar

This could have been a great book. But it had wayyy too much vulgarity even fir me. It made it less funny. Annoying.

Not for those who don't like foul language

The book should carry a disclaimer about the language used. The author must have used every word for sexual anatomy and used them all too many times. A sweet story got lost in the sex talk.

Annoying!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

More likable characters, better plot and different narrator

What was most disappointing about Tara Sivec’s story?

Excessive uses of the words, vagina, penis, fuck, shit etc. Too much immature sex talk. Perhaps it's the author's poor attempt to appeal to women that actually "got off" to Fifty Shades of Grey. I've never read this author so maybe it's just her style to write about sex and include as much dirty language as an immature conversation can fit. I'm, by far, not a prude, I'm all for naughty, but I thought it was getting annoying. The four year old's behavior wasn't cute or funny. There almost appeared to be a little psychosis going on. The narrator's voice was irritating and she never changed her tone for different characters.

You didn’t love this book... but did it have any redeeming qualities?

Before I found the book extremely annoying I did laugh at a few of the lines.

Any additional comments?

I'm about three quarters of the way through and I'm debating whether I want to drudge through to the end :(

What a disappointment!

Wasted credit on a terrible book in which the author creates somewhat of an interesting storyline but completely kills it by overindulging in vulgarity and overuse of the word "vagina". She wanted to create a funny love story, but the exaggeration of events was pathetic and in parts embarrassing.
On top of the mediocrity of the book, the narrator manages to completely chop it up to pieces. I think that she too had too much of the "fuck", "shit", "vagina", "penis" words overused in this book and she just gave up on trying to minimally narrate the story so that we all know who's talking and who answering back.
All in all, it was one of the worst Audible experiences.

Sex, sex and more sex

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

Someone who wanted to hear about sex in every paragraph of the story.

What could Tara Sivec have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you?

I couldn't get past constantly hearing about sex and not much else. A stronger focus on developing and presenting an interesting story would be a real improvement.

How could the performance have been better?

I couldn't get past the content to really evaluate the performance adequately. I'm sorry the narrator was stuck with this title.

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Disinterest.

Any additional comments?

Yuck! I should've read a bunch of reviews and listened to the Sample.

Horrible Narrator!

This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?

I wouldn't give this book the my worst enemy, desperate for something to listen to while working out.

What was most disappointing about Tara Sivec’s story?

I couldn't get into the story, the narrator was so wrong for this story.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Her voice is more suited for an older character, not the twenty year old, virginal college student. I couldn't get past that. Then when the perspective changes from the female protagonist to the male there was no change in voice inflection. I was confused until I read reviews that the story was written from both perspectives. I stopped listening at that point.

If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from Seduction and Snacks?

Can't answer that...couldn't get into the book.

Any additional comments?

Please change the narrator.
