First... let me say this...
SCREW YOU, TARA SIVEC AND I REFUSE TO HUG IT OUT!!! hashtag:ThisDamnBookMadeMeCry hashtag:ScrewYouTomBrady
Seriously.  I adore the heck out of Tara's RomComs.  I'm not even going to try to play coy and pretend they're just alright.  I pee my pants. I get dirty looks from the family for laughing and snorting so much.  I say ridiculous crap that no one in their right mind has a clue about what I'm saying all because... TARAMOTHERFUGGINSIVEC GOT IT IN MY HEAD! 
It's sorcery.  She is honestly one of my favorite authors on the planet for a number of reasons, but the #1 reason is - she can weave a damn tale together with precision accuracy and make me question my sanity.  She can write across multiple genres and still make me love every word.  She can make me laugh my butt off, and cry... in the same story. 

Baking & Babies is a culmination of years of my favorite stories.  The laughs are endless... until... the end, of course (does that make any sense?!?!  Probably not.  You'll understand when you get there... )  The Chocolate Lovers and Chocoholics series aren't exactly for the faint of heart.  They're crude.  They're obnoxious.  They're absolutely genius in humor, with perfectly punctuated comical poundings coming and coming and coming... and then coming one more time just for good measure.

I adore them. I may have the sense of humor of a teenage boy, but I mean, I do live with all boys and I in fact have a teenage son, so maybe they've left me where I just can't function like a normal human being.   But... with that... GOD, do these books make me laugh til I cry and they're some of the first I recommend to people. 

I had worried that maybe by this point in this series these books wouldn't have the same oomph for me, but it definitely didn't fail to deliver - and this book came at the perfect time when I just needed a good, comical, laugh til I cry session in life.   If you need a feel-good pick-me-up this is your book and if you haven't started from the first book that started it all, do yourself a favor and getcha some!

I'm in love with Marco - and that Italian Stallion is mine, btw. :)

Blog Tour|Review - Bury Me - Tara Sivec - Rebecca




BURY ME
by Tara Sivec 
Add to Goodreads

“All things truly wicked start from innocence.” – Ernest Hemingway 

I hear screams in my head. 
I see blood on my hands.
When I look in the mirror I see a stranger.

How is it that I can remember bits and pieces of my life, but nothing of any importance and nothing that makes any sense? Everything is twisted and nothing is right. I’m choking with every breath I take, suffocating on the unknown. 

Two days ago, everything changed. Two days ago, the people I should trust the most became strangers in my convoluted head. The dreams I have can’t be real. The fleeting memories that whisper through my mind are scary and wrong…they have to be. If they aren’t, I have something much worse to fear than my fractured mind. I need to find out the truth, even if it destroys me. 

I've been told my name is Ravenna Duskin. I’m eighteen years old and I live in a prison…



Welcome to the dark side, Tara!! 

I about pissed myself from the excitement when this book went live early and I was able to buy it.  I could NOT put it down and finished it in one day... I highly recommend this amazing book!! :D 

Not many people can weave a wonderful take together such as this... and not many people can write in different genres flawlessly, but Tara Sivec can and does. This book is a wonderful twisting tale filled with secrets upon secrets. Just when I thought I had it figured out, I turned the page to a new twist. Amazing story!!

Before I can command my feet to move toward the shape—the safer of the two evils—I hear another sound in the opposite direction and foolishly turn my head. Something heavy and solid crashes against my skull and I feel myself falling. Darkness descends over me one last time, covering my eyes, clogging my ears and stealing the breath from my lungs. Nothing will ever be the same again.
Nothing will ever be good again.

It will all be bad.

Bad

Bad

Bad.
