WE LOVE TARA SIVEC!! And… we had a wonderful “Tara Sivec” day on Wednesday on Facebook, celebrating our huge LOVE for her, her hilarious and/or sometimes super-angsty romance books and her amazingness altogether. She’s one of our OGs from back when indie romance authors took the book world (and my whole happy world) by storm and we couldn’t get enough of her.
And right now, we’re putting the spotlight back on her as she battles cancer, and we’re hoping to bring her books front and center of the limelight where they deserve to be! I’m hoping that all who haven’t discovered her yet, explore her outrageous and fun comedy romance, and dive into some of her emotionally angsty ones, too!
P.S. Here is anything and everything, on my blog that features Tara Sivec (reviews, reading orders, & book recommendations & lists that feature her too!)
P.P.S. Including my 4.5 star review of one of the funniest and most fun romance books EVER!!!
Here is her entire book repertoire on her Amazon page.
Here is her Facebook page, her Instagram & her TikTok

Georgia: Tara Sivec’s new book. Worn Me Down (Playing With Fire, #3) by Tara Sivec. The last two had me in tears… But in such a good way. She writes so well. This series is a departure from the “chocolate series”. … But just soo good.

Cute and sweet romance but great sisterhood friendship too. (((more hugs)))
Georgia: Anything by Tara Sivec is amazing. Her Other series – Playing with Fire is amazing as well as well as her Ignite Series.

Lynn: I loved Fisher’s Light by Tara Sivec! It is a very emotional read.
Michelle F: Worth The Trip by Tara Sivec… It’s the novella after Fisher’s Light. I wasn’t a big fan of the first half of Fisher’s Light but I loved it by the end. So much so that I’ve since re-read it and it’s now one of my favorites so far this year So I read Worth The Trip last night and had to set it down several times to wipe the tears away and blow my nose so I could keep reading! Big. Ugly. Snotty. Tears. But it was so worth it. What a beautiful story of young love, heartbreak, mistakes, and the lifelong endurance of true love. If you liked Fisher’s Light, you must read Worth The Trip.
Toni: My favorite light hearted read is Seduction and Snacks by Tara Sivec. Snort out loud funny!
Tessa: Just finished The Stocking was Hung by Tara Sivec and it kept a smile on my face the whole time. It was a loan and even better, fulfilled one of my year end challenges. 🙂 One question. How can it end in two books? They haven’t even kissed yet, darn it! I need books upon books of that world, not just five.
Tell me this kind of enthusiasm doesn’t make you want to marathon read her, right now… 🥰 Which one is YOUR favorite?

COMEDY ROMANCE BY TARA SIVEC
“Claire is a twenty-something, single mom that 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 lovable (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.”

Jenn: I just finished reading A Beautiful Lie by Tara Sivec. Maryse…you are going to LOVE this book if you haven’t read it yet. I was torn. I wanted it to end so the mystery would be solved, but at the same time I didn’t want it to ever end because the story and the characters were intense and captivating.
There were so many twists and turns. My heart felt like it was going to jump out of my chest! This has easily become one of my new favorites! It’s going to be a few days until I can start another book. This one left me reeling and I need a few days to recover!!

“…Nothing good ever comes from drinking a box of wine alone. So when I decided to entertain my drunken self by setting up some hand-me-down podcasting equipment and reading the steamy parts from romance novels, I never thought anyone would actually listen.
