Baking and Babies by Tara Sivec Review
4.5 Smooches
Synopsis
“I’m pregnant.”
Molly Gilmore had a good life before she uttered those two stupid words. While preparing to graduate from culinary school and building up the courage to make a move on her hot, sugar-cookie-smelling pastry instructor Marco, she can’t wait to finally have the GREAT life she’s always dreamed about, instead of just the good one she’s been living.
Always known as the quiet ninja, she fully intends to stay hidden in the shadows with her nut-job family, so they have no chance to embarrass her around the man she’s crushed on for two years. Unfortunately, her family has other plans. When they yank her straight out of her comfort zone, she finds herself starring in the craziest train wreck she’s ever witnessed.
Molly ultimately gets a more exciting life that doesn’t revolve around school, but she’s pretty sure the man of her dreams won’t be sticking around long after her family gets ahold of him. There aren’t too many guys who can handle smelling like pee, having the whole world know how he masturbates, and being forced to eat an entire bag of dicks.
Join the Chocolate Lovers and Chocoholics gang for one final story about love, baked goods, making poor life choices, and remembering how important family is—even if they drive you insane.
Mostly because it’s illegal to kill them.
Review
‘I’m putting Marco’s penis in my mouth tonight and nothing is going to stop me.’
Well Fuck A Duck that was HILARIOUS, but honestly did I expect anything else from my favorite versatile author. Tara Sivec has proven over and over again she can go from crass humor to heartbreaking angst to suspense to erotic with the blink of an eye. I am not sure there is not a genre she couldn’t write (come on who wouldn’t love a children’s book written by her.)
‘Honesty is my middle name. Right after Lying Dickhead Asshole.’
I adore the Chocoholics series, possible even more than the Chocolate Lovers, not only because the stories are incredibly funny but because I feel like we have watched these kids grow up and fall in love. Who doesn’t want a happily ever after for kids you fell in love with. Out of all the children, Molly is the one we know the least about, often hiding behind the crazy schemes and antics of those around her she kept to herself and focused on finishing her culinary degree and making something of herself. Finally Molly gets the spotlight and I find that I absolutely adored her. Having had a crush on her teacher but knowing she can’t do anything about it while still in his class has been impossible for her. But school is done and now nothing is impossible except Molly has a secret, one that changes everything.
“Don’t knock it until you try it; pony play is very erotic,” Ava informs the group as I sit on the comfortable leather bench next to Charlotte, closing the door behind me. “The plastic hooves are a little hard to get used to at first, but once you add the tail and the unicorn horn, you really get into it.”
Marco, the Italian Stallion, rocked my world. Thrown into the crazy mix of all these overly eccentric people he proves he can give as much as he can take. But Marco isn’t forthcoming with all his secrets and what he holds back has the power to tear apart all that they built in the short amount of time they spent together. I am not sure where the quips and one liners that end up in these books come from but I am fairly convinced something is very very wrong with Tara, and we are all so happy about it.
‘Ain’t nobody got time for full-price lap dances!’
As sad as I am to see this series come to an end I feel like it is just the right place for it. Every moment along the way exciting and fun and I loved how this story helped wrap up all the previous books as well. Catching up with my favorite characters only added to the pure joy I got from reading this story. I cannot wait to see what books, stories and characters Tara has for us next.
