Love and Lists

Chocolate Lovers Series Spinoff

Book Summary: 

Twenty-five-year-old Gavin Ellis has always had the love and support of his family ever since he was a little boy and couldn’t stop talking about his penis. He’s also always had their unsolicited advice and uncanny knack of embarrassing him at all costs. Now that he’s an adult and trying to convince the love of his life to love him back, things haven’t changed very much from when he was younger.

When Gavin’s best friend Tyler suggests he make a to-do list of items that will ensure he wins the girl, Gavin is one-hundred-percent on board: after a few six packs.

After puking in the shrubs, a bad experience with Viagra, a Sex-Ed course gone wrong, and a slew of other mishaps courtesy of his family and friends, Gavin is pretty sure this list will be the death of him.

Sometimes, trying to make someone love you with a list isn’t always the best idea.

Mini Review:

I laughed, I cheered, I cringed – in short, I thoroughly enjoyed this book! One thing I’ve always appreciated about Tara Sivec is that she sticks to the humor – no third-act breakup, no drama, just pure, unadulterated antics. This one was no exception. Having read Books 1 and 2 of the Chocolate Series (I had to DNF Book 3), I was curious about how Claire and Carter were doing, as well as how the rest of the gang fared. Jumping into the future, it was sweet to see Gavin join the family business and fall head over heels for the “girl next door.”

One note: while there are several references to the Chocolate Lovers Series (since Books One and Two focus on Gavin’s parents), don’t feel like you need to read them to enjoy this one. They’re good, but not a prerequisite – unless you really want to get to know the first generation (the parents of Gavin and his friends).

I definitely recommend checking this one out!
