By: Tara Sivec

Narrated by: Romy Nordlinger

Length: 10 hrs

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.

So glad I found this

This book was hilarious, sweet, and sexy. Gavin was cute and funny and Clair & Cater's inner monologues had me doubled over from laughing so hard. Their relationship is so sweet and the sexy times managed to be hot with moments of funny. I'm immediately moving on to book 2!

ONE OF THE FUNNIEST GREATEST BOOKS EVER

I listened to this book years ago but any time I need a laugh this is one of my top go to books. This book is great not good GREAT AND I LOVED EVERY SECOND. It took me a minute to l

Good romantic comedy, but narration...

This really was a funny romance and I had several laugh out loud moments. However, the narration was soooo hard to follow. The book is written in dual point of view but there is only a female narrator. I really dislike this format as it makes it really difficult for the male character to come to life. This was made even worse by the fact that you are never told when the point of view changes, you just have to deduce who's thoughts your listening to based on what's being said! Ugh!! Very frustrating and distracting from the story. The narrator was actually quite good, but the audio really needed a male's voice as well.

So frikkin' funny n' great narration!

What about Romy Nordlinger’s performance did you like?

Romy is da bomb! She was sooooo on it with all the different characters and funny situations - very believable and usually I'm sort of turned off by a lot of audible narrators cause they sound like they're on pbs or something but I just really liked how real romy made everything and I really related to the characters.

Any additional comments?

SO FUNNY!

bring 'em on - fun loved it!

What made the experience of listening to Seduction and Snacks the most enjoyable?

I read this and shared it with some friends but listening to it was even better. I loved the narrateor = she was very spot on with just giving it to us and that's what I like best about this book. - it's really surprising and just gives you a lot of stuff you don't expect that makes you laugh and feel good.

What does Romy Nordlinger bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she added a lot of life to the comedy

Delectable!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

I recommended to a friend who loved this book as much as I love it! It was an accidental find on a boring evening Audible search and I'm so glad! I enjoyed every word!

What did you like best about this story?

I completely relate to the main character, Claire! Her humorous outlook on parenthood, friendship, relationships and life in general is so familiar. I can see myself spending time with this group of friends and I had a great time getting to know all of the characters.

Which character – as performed by Romy Nordlinger – was your favorite?

Claire and I are kindred spirits, but Gavin was probably my fave. Romy did an amazing job bringing the characters and the story to life!

Who was the most memorable character of Seduction and Snacks and why?

Drew and his t-shirts were a lot of fun and I looked forward to his daily wardrobe selections. Jenny and her misuse of the English language was a good time!

Any additional comments?

I am so glad I stumbled upon this series and I will definitely listen again!

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.

Nice story. Difficult without the book

Would you be willing to try another one of Romy Nordlinger’s performances?

No.

Any additional comments?

I had a hard time following the narrator through this story. She did not do a good job of differentiating the male voices from the female characters. I had to purchase the kindle edition to ffinish the story. The story was cute. I read it twice.

Good

Was the author an alcoholic? There was a lot of drinking in this book. The book was funny, but it had some story and character development problems. I thought Carter took the news of his son too easy. He never talked about introducing his son to his family. I didn't get a real connection between Carter and Gavin. I did not understand Claire's hesitation in telling Carter about his son. Was it all about her? I didn't like her too much. Carter and Claire's inner thoughts were a little childish at times. It was very ironic how they just met again. Parts of the story seemed disconnected. All in all, it had funny parts. You may enjoy, if nothing else, the humor.

Seduction and Snacks - Book 1

Where does Seduction and Snacks rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

Very funny

What other book might you compare Seduction and Snacks to and why?

None, the sarcasm level is over the top, but it works. I always has a lot of sarcasm floating around in my brain but usually keep it inside. It's just unusual to read it.

What did you like about the performance? What did you dislike?

Over all,the performance is good but I had some trouble understanding which character was which at times. The voice of the male and female lead characters were not different enough for me.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes
