While dealing with her family’s disappointment and confusion over her choices, she finds support in the unlikeliest of places – Tyler Branson. Tyler has slowly wormed his way into her bed and her heart and he refuses to leave.

4.5 FUNNY stars!
This book was SO funny. One of those you should not read in public or you might embarrass yourself funny! The same kind of laugh out loud humor that the original Seduction and Snacks had. I laughed so much in this story and it was exactly what I needed after many heart breaking and angsty reads! Thank you Tara Sivec for making my day!
Ava Gilmore is Liz and Jim’s middle child. She loves fashion, and can come off a little bitchy. Although she doesn’t have any 'real' relationships, no boyfriend to speak of, there is this one guy... Gavin’s best friend Tyler, that she’s been seeing.
Tyler is something else. I don’t know how else to put it. Ava can’t see anything serious with him, but he’s gorgeous and good in bed, so she keeps him around. Even though he has a strange My Little Pony addiction.
Ava drives Tyler a little crazy too, but he doesn't mind. Even though these two don’t always get along, they hook up for the obvious reason...
Ava is working at her mom’s business, Seduction and Snacks. She hates it. She is bored to tears. All she wants to do is work in fashion. And somehow, Tyler is the person to encourage her to follow her dreams and help her along the way.
Tyler has his dream job working all day with sex toys. It’s perfect. Besides some family drama, everything is great. Now he just needs his perfect girl. He’s started developing real feelings for Ava, he just has to find a way to tell her. My first status update of this book was “Tyler is like a mini-Drew”. It’s no secret Drew was my favorite of the original group, so you know I loved him.
Tyler is hilarious and a hot mess. He first tries to attempt some dirty talking to spice things up. It fails miserably.
Tyler was just full of laughs. Ava had her moments too. When she went out drinking with Rocco and Charlotte I was shaking my bed with laughter!
Ava and Tyler were quirky and funny together. And yes, they had some fantastic chemistry and there were some hot moments, but there were also some sweet moments. I loved watching them get to know each other and go a little deeper. Together, even so different, they worked.
I love emotional books, books that make me think, books that make me feel, but sometimes- it’s nice to read something thats main purpose is to make you laugh and smile. We all need that every once in a while. This book did just that.
As always, it was great to catch up with the entire Seduction and Snacks gang. This is one of the most hilarious books to date in this too funny series. These Chocolate Lover’s books are my kind of reads. If you need something light, funny, sweet, sexy and a little raunchy, you’ve found your next read!

The first time we had sex and he sang the theme song from My Little Pony while he went down on my should have sent me running for the hills like my ass was on fire.

“Yeah, you like that? You like it when Big Papa gives you his hot and juicy wiener?”Then he thought a little manscaping might help. That was a really bad idea...
“There was so much blood. Blood from my balls was everywhere. It was like Texas Chainsaw Ball Massacure.”
Tyler was just full of laughs. Ava had her moments too. When she went out drinking with Rocco and Charlotte I was shaking my bed with laughter!
"I masturbate on the interstate!

♥♥♥ 4 'Secret Brony Handshake' Stars ♥♥♥
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
He's immature at times, a complete smart-ass and into some kinky shit, but he's nice to me no matter how much of a bitch I am to him; no matter how hard I try to push him away.
Son of a mother fucking bitch, I think I'm falling for Tyler.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Oh God, I really needed a book to make me laugh. I have been reading some mighty sad books lately. This one totally helped me lift up my spirits. It was awesome!
So, if you have already read the previous book, you know that Tyler and Ava have had a secret "relationship" for a while. It's all purely sexual. That is, until Ava can't seem to stay away from Tyler. She's totally addicted to his love making skills and that just can't be. Why? Because Tyler is immature and has a weird my little pony kink. Definitely not boyfriend material. So she decides to finally break it off with him.
While Ava is trying to stay away from Tyler, she is also trying to decide what to do with her life. She hates working at Seduction and Snacks. But she doesn't want to disappoint her mother Liz. She later on discovers that she can do something with her love of fashion. She opens up a fashion blog that soon becomes a success. Also, staying away from Tyler becomes difficult when her mother hires him at Seduction and Snacks.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
"You're pussy is like a warm Christmas cookie, fresh from the oven," I mutter as I slam into her harder.
*****
"I like dirty talk I LOVE dirty talk. What you're doing is not dirty talk. It's 'weird as fuck' talk. Repeat after me: I love fucking you, your pussy is so tight." Ava demands.
Well, damn, that was hot. I kind of wish I had a vagina right now.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
Tyler is upset that he can no longer have sex with Ava, now that she sent him away. But he knows that is will only be a matter of time before she comes back to him. She won't be able to resist his sexy charm. Despite Ava's efforts she does have a few moments of weakness. But each time they spend a little bit of time together, the more they learn about each other, which leads them to slowly fall in fall with one another.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
“Were you dreaming about horses? You were fucking prancing in your sleep.”
Tyler looks over his shoulder at me and I watch his face redden with embarrassment. “What? You’re delusional. I don’t prance. I NEVER prance.”
I just shake my head at him. “You were totally prancing in your sleep. Prancing and whinnying like a damn horse.”
“You shut your face! Shut your face right now!” he shouts.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
During the time Tyler tries to get Ava back, he makes a life changing discovery...his father is not his real father. Now Tyler is on the look out for his real dad, who could be a sperm donor, or one of the guys who was in a foursome with his mom. Things aren't looking to good for him. But his journey to finding him is a hilarious one. Plus, with Tyler's personality it becomes even more so. Loved him!
Then there was this whole part about anal, and it freaking had me laughing so hard at Tyler's attempts to apologize. It was too damn funny.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
I need to ASS you a question. Are you still mad at me?
***
Dear Ava’s Ass: I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Love, Tyler’s Ginormous Dick.
***
I bought a butt plug. You’re right. This isn’t very comfortable.
Never mind. This isn’t so bad.
● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ● ●
There was never a dull moment in this book and I laughed so much. There were My Little Pony sexual parapernalia, a little bit of hilarious BDSM thrown into the mix, and of course the crazy banter of each and every character that I love so much. I was really happy to see Claire, Carter, Gavin, Charlotte, Drew, Jenny, Liz and Jim. They were are all so freaking comical in their own way, and yes, you can expect to read all those raunchy humourous moments. I really loved Tyler, his wierdness included. I even enjoyed Ava's character, even if she was a bit of a bitch. Together, these two characters really worked. They understood each other in deeper way than just sex, so that was great to see. I really enjoyed this book a lot. And I totally guessed right on who Tyler's father would end up being. I was happy and laughing about that. If you are looking for a light funny read, this one is definitely one I would recommend to you.

I base my life around Tara Sivec and Kristen Ashley books... it'd be sad if I was the only one but I'm sure I'm not... cannot wait for this book!!!!

3,5 “Brony” Stars.
Ava is Charlotte younger sister and Tyler is Gavin’s best-friend. If you remember them from the first book you know how completely insane they both are.
Ava is working at Seduction & Snacks and is completely miserable. She hates her job and her dream is working on fashion.
Tyler is going through a rough phase and with some family issues and is trying to get the best of it and going through is problems as everyone in this book… with completely nutty actions that no one but these people understands.
He is a Brony (a person obsessed with My Little Pony stuff. Yeah, weirdness can’t grow more in this family!), a thing that Ava, even being crazy, can’t understand.
It all begins with sex, just sex. But as they get to know each other feelings start to grow and they become closer…. While trying not to kill each other in the way, obviously.
Well, not as good as the others. But still a book you should try if you’re in need of a fun reading.
Rating: 3,5 Stars.
Storyline: Fun and with a completely unexpected ending. Kudos for that, I wasn’t REALLY expecting that. I’m not going to say to not read this in public as I said in the previous ones, because although this was funny, it seemed forced and didn’t made me laugh as much as the previous. Sometimes it was just… too much.
I know I’m probably the minority here, but, oh well.
Writing Style: First person, Dual POV. Addictive and hilarious.
Character Development: Well, I don’t know how many times I can describe them without using the word “crazy”. But you all know that we love this family.
Steam: Hot.

4 stars
Tyler and Ava had a one night stand which resulted in Ava having the best sex of her life. Now she cant seem to get rid of Tyler and his my little pony addiction.
As much as I love Gavin, I love Tyler more. He was clueless, sweet, hilarious, and he doesnt have a brain to mouth filter. My 4 star is because I found myself reading through Ava's chapters quicker to get to Tyler's chapters, she did grew on me eventually.
Overall I wasnt laughing my ass off but it was over the top funny and it put a smile on my face. A quick light fun entertaining book.

I've been listening to this book for the past few weeks while I work on the weekends and it finally got to a point yesterday where I couldn't stop and just HAD to finish it.
As a big fan of Ms. Sivec - I never miss the opportunity to read her hilarious "seduction" series and love when the old characters come back to share some banter.
This is a cute story between Ava and Tyler and I found myself so many times cracking up with Ms. Sivec's uncanny humor in her writing!
Great book ---- but I'll leave you with a word of advice...
DON'T HAVE THIS ON SPEAKER TOO LOUD WHEN DRIVING WITH THE WINDOWS DOWN!!

Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tara Sivec is the queen of writing the type of romantic comedies that make you laugh so hard that you end up crying. How she comes up with this stuff? I do not know, but I hope that she comes up with more in the future. Now that I have read the entire Chocolate Lovers and Chocoholics series I am a bit sad because I can't imagine living without these characters in my life. So I hope the author will consider another spin-off (c'mon, Charlotte and Gavin as parents, or their kids?) because these books are too good to be over! Seriously... I need more of them in my life. Or else I will wind up reading both of these series over and over again.
With that being said, this book is the second book in the Chocoholics series. While it can technically be read as a standalone, I would highly recommend reading them in series order. Also, in order to FULLY understanding Tyler, Ava, and the rest of the characters, you should read the Chocolate Lovers series (in order) first. I promise, you won't regret it!
So I am going to keep my review of this novel short and sweet because it was published a few years ago. The most important thing you should get from this review? Is my recommendation to READ IT. Seriously... If you haven't already and you are a fan of romantic comedies then you NEED this series in your life.
A+++++

Tara Sivec Rocks My Socks and makes my guts hurt!!!!!!
5 Funny as All hell Stars
So In case you have missed it the last couple of days I have been savoring Tara's latest release of Passion and Ponies. Savoring because I simply did not want the book to end. This woman knows how to write some serious hilarious stories and If I could spend every single day with her for one year I still do not think I would get my fill of her and her mind. To say she is a brilliant writer is an understatement. Her hilarity in these stories just blows my mind and I can never seem to get enough.
I first was introduced to Tara and her books when I read her Chocolate Lovers Series back in December of 2012. I fell in love with Tara and her writing style. She is hilariuos. There is no doubt in my mind that if you read this series you will be laughing so hard you will be crying like I was.
This series is no different than the first one I read. The first in the series is Love and Lists (Chocoholics #1) I would definitely recommend reading the series in order starting with the Chocolate Lover's Series to understand and get the full effect of all of the characters in these two series.
This is definitely a book you do not want to read in public. DO not read it while at work, because if you do you are bound to get in trouble with your boss for laughing out loud.
Ava Gilmore she is sweet, funny, and can sometimes be a little bitchy. She loves all things fashion, but at the moment she is stuck working in her mom's company Seduction and Snacks and she hates it. She does not want to work there, she is afraid to tell her mom that it is not her dream at all.
Tyler Branson, man-child extraordinaire and the guy I’ve been shame fucking for the past few months,
Tyler Branson he is Gavin's best friend, and he is kinda weird and has a fetish with My Little Pony. He has his dream job now working with sex toys at Seduction and Snacks, now he just needs to find himself the perfect gal. He and Ava hook up, but it is for sex and nothing more. She is bitchy to him and he kinda can't stand her so it evens out for them or so they think.
“Were you dreaming about horses? You were fucking prancing in your sleep.”
Tyler looks over his shoulder at me and I watch his face redden with embarrassment. “What? You’re delusional. I don’t prance. I NEVER prance.”
I just shake my head at him. “You were totally prancing in your sleep. Prancing and whinnying like a damn horse.”
“You shut your face! Shut your face right now!” he shouts.
I shove my finger close to his nose. “No, YOU shut your prancing face, Twilight Sparkle, before my parents hear you. You’re not even supposed to BE here. You were supposed to sneak out of my bedroom window just like always. Get out of my bed!”
But dammit, sex with Tyler was the biggest high I’ve ever had in my life
As we watch these two together we see how they come to realize that their relationship is about more than just sex. we get lots of humor, we get sweet moments, and we get love from everyone around them all at once.
Tyler is the one in the end who convinces Ava to follow her dreams and do what makes her happy.
I loved getting some of all the characters in this book. Drew and Jenny still make me laugh my ass off as well as Liz and Claire and their banter between each other.
Tyler and Ava are just down right funny as hell. I could not stop laughing while reading this entire book. I think I have 95% of by book highlighted on my Kindle.
“Oh, my God! I scrubbed my fucking face with a towel that had your dry, crusty jizz on it!
“I let Gavin have anal. You should try it, Ava. It’s gooooooood,” Charlotte says with a laugh
These texts from Tyler I was dying with laughter:
I need to ASS you a question. Are you still mad at me?
Dear Ava’s Ass: I’m sorry. Please forgive me. Love, Tyler’s Ginormous Dick.
I bought a butt plug. You’re right. This isn’t very comfortable.
Never mind. This isn’t so bad.
“I’m in love (with your ass), I’m in love (with your ass). Come on, come on, spin a little tighter” Wow, these lyrics are spot on. I think I found our new theme song. Check your voice mail.
With a growl, I wipe the smile off of my face and finally reply to all of Tyler’s nonsense.
STOP TEXTING ME AND FOR FUCK’S SAKE, STOP TEXTING AND CALLING MY MOM
This is my all time favorite in the whole book.......
Ooooh that tickles, do it again!”
Smack.
“Okay, that one stung a little, not so hard.”
Smack.
“FUCKING HELL THAT HURT! NOT SO HARD!”
Smack, smack!
“OH, MY GOD! I SAID NOT SO HARD!”
“Safe word, use the fucking safe word!”
“PANCAKES, PANCAKES, MOTHER FUCKING PANCAKES!” Tyler screams
I totally enjoyed this book and I can not wait for more from Tara!!!!!!
March 27, 2014
Just when I think Tara can't get any funnier, she gets funnier. I devoured this book in hours and was alternating between laughing out loud, snorting, holding my stomach because I was giggling so hard, and then crying, both from laughing and the emotions I was feeling. I've loved all of Tara's book, but this one takes the cake. Tyler is the most lovable character I've ever read about and the twist at the end? Freaking brilliant!
October 29, 2014
OH Tara Sivec...You are so wrong girl...so damn wrong, but so right! LMAO funny, when you put a book out in this series, I automatically one click and I know,
This is the story of Tyler, Gavin's BFF-former stalker to Liz (lol), and Ava, Charlotte's younger sister. The entire crazy ass cast is still present, and still as inappropriate as all hell! From every interaction there is LOL moments...I dare anyone to not chuckle! Come on, what is better than 4 men discussing the details of anal and the lube used...
Basically Tyler and Ava go at it like crazy...and as in crazy, I mean Tyler is a NUT! From strange animal fetishes, to having absolutely no filter, he is a lovable mess of "no game" Most importantly though,
WTF, Ava is weirded out...
Through it all though, they seem to be there for one another. Once you get past Tyler's complete f*** up of a life, and Ava's uber bitchiness, they genuinely care for one another. They have hot, hilariously fun hook-ups, but more importantly they have each other's backs! I will say that the originals of the story (the parents) are my faves, but the offspring they created are totally entertaining! If you need a good, quick read...any book in this series will deliver!

4 “Brony” “Friendship is Magic” Kisses
How? How is it possible for one woman to make me laugh so hard it brings tears to my eyes and yet at the same time turns me on? I don’t know how she does it but I refuse to argue with the plain and simple fact that Tara Sivec writes awesome books that I love. Ever since I read Love and Lists and learned of the magic that is Tyler and Ava, I’ve been anxiously awaiting this book. And OMG Tara did not disappoint. In case you weren't aware, Passion and Ponies is the second book in the Chocoholics Series, a Chocolate Lover's spin off. If you haven't read the first book, Love and Lists...I would highly recommend it - everything will make a lot more sense!
Ava Gillmore…well, there is no easy way to say this, Ava is a bitch. Not like a little bit of a bitch, she’s pretty much a huge bitch 90% of the time. I think we can blame most of that on Liz because…well Liz is not exactly sunshine and roses. But at least she’s a bitch you can love! And I may not have cared that much for Ava in L&L but holy shit did I fall in love with her in P&P. So I said she’s a bitch and by that I mean…she has no filter, she says what she thinks in most instances and sometimes what she says/does is a little on the harsh side. That doesn't make her 'bad' and I don't think she goes out of her way to be mean, but Ava is just very selective about who she shares her feelings and thoughts with. She’s a very private person and aside from her family and fashion, she’s never really loved anyone or anything else. Her love of fashion is really more of an obsession but it’s what she is passionate about and it’s a cute little quirky thing about her. But I have to be honest, it was cute watching her fall in love with a Brony.
Tyler Branson…I never thought I would love a Brony, but I fucking love Tyler. I said it in my L&L review…Tyler is Drew 2.0 and truer words were never spoken! In all honest...I love it. Can't get enough of it, could read about Tyler and his antics all day. Why? He’s funny as fuck, sexy as sin and I will never be satisfied. He has even less of a filter than Ava does…if that’s even possible...just in a less bitchy and more crude/sexual way. I really wasn’t sure if I was going to be able to get on the 'Brony Boat'…and I may not be completely okay with all of it…but it works for Tyler…don’t ask me how or why…but it does. And not that I didn’t love Ava, but Tyler stole the show in this book…in every way shape and form. I couldn’t wait to see what he did next and I was constantly and pleasantly surprised with the things that came out of his mouth and his actions. Tyler rocked my face off…the end.
So…I figured Tyler + Ava = hot, dirty, angry sex...which is awesome for the record – and yes, we did get that, but there were also these really unexpected moments of sweetness with them. Moments where they let their guard down and actually talked, rather than yelling at each other (more like Ava yelling at Tyler) or just fucking…they were there for each other, supportive of what they were going through separately. They allowed themselves to care about another person and I liked seeing that side. In fact…I’m not above admitting it – a Tara Sivec book made me cry. I’m not joking…there was a moment with Tyler and Ava…it’s kind of a turning point for both of them where they figure their shit out and I had tears pouring from my eyes because it was so unexpected and sincere and I loved it. Out of all the craziness in their relationship and in their lives they had this sweet, touching moment and it really touched me. Surprised me at how much it touched me because it was so unexpected but so pure and real and fitting for both of them. Totally didn’t see it coming and it worked for them...perfectly
All bets are off in this book…if you think there is a topic that hasn’t been touched in any of the other books - HA! Jokes on you… This has it all…Brony’s and My Little Ponies barely scratches the surface, but every single layer of it had me laughing. The things that come out of their mouths…like…I just can’t. It’s just amazing. Like “Sorry, I couldn’t help it. I just keep picturing a uterus with tiny little fists of fury screaming at people in a chipmunk voice, ‘I’m a wee little uterus and I will fuck all of you up.’” or “Fisting is NOT romantic!” or “IT’S HAPPENING! IT’S REALLY HAPPENING! I’M SHITTING IN THE SHRUBS!” and of course…the holy grail - “I like to masturbate on the interstate!” . I mean…you can’t fake that. At all. The sad thing is – that last one isn’t fake…I heard it with my own ears! :-) The chapter titles really did it for me too because they were like little teasers to get you amped up and excited for what was to come – freaking loved them. I mean from dildo angels to MLP sex toys to understanding the different types of glitter…it all made me smile so hard my cheeks hurt and laugh so hard it brought tears to my eyes.
As usual the best part about this series is seeing all of the characters and having all of them interact with each other. Don’t ask me how Tara takes the original 6 then adds in 2 more couples…plus a dash of Ava and Charlotte’s ninja sister Molly every now and then…and never have it get the least bit confusing…but she does! Not only is not confusing but it’s hilarious as fuck, especially when you get Claire, Carter, Liz and Jim in the mix…they might be older (which is still hard for me to process sometimes) but they still have every ounce of hilarity that I fell in love with in the original Chocolate Lover’s series. Now I never talk plot in my reviews…because I’m not here to tell you the story, plus that’s the easiest way to give away spoilers (which is another thing I don’t do) but HOLY SHIT …I LOVE what happened with the twist in this book. Did I see it coming…a little bit, there are hints thrown in there – but that didn’t bother me or take away from the enjoyment of the final ‘reveal’. It was genius, it was logical and it worked brilliantly with these characters.
I truly hope this isn’t the end for this next level of the Chocolate Lovers gang…now that I have them back, I’m still not ready to let go. Plus we still have Molly, the ninja sister, to figure out and I must experience Drew & Jenny’s son…that has amazingness written all over it. Bring on more Chocoholics!
4 “Brony” “Friendship is Magic” Kisses
How? How is it possible for one woman to make me laugh so hard it brings tears to my eyes and yet at the same time turns me on? I don’t know how she does it but I refuse to argue with the plain and simple fact that Tara Sivec writes awesome books that I love. Ever since I read Love and Lists and learned of the magic that is Tyler and Ava, I’ve been anxiously awaiting this book. And OMG Tara did not disappoint. In case you weren't aware, Passion and Ponies is the second book in the Chocoholics Series, a Chocolate Lover's spin off. If you haven't read the first book, Love and Lists...I would highly recommend it - everything will make a lot more sense!
Ava Gillmore…well, there is no easy way to say this, Ava is a bitch. Not like a little bit of a bitch, she’s pretty much a huge bitch 90% of the time.

She’s a very private person and aside from her family and fashion, she’s never really loved anyone or anything else. Her love of fashion is really more of an obsession but it’s what she is passionate about and it’s a cute little quirky thing about her. But I have to be honest, it was cute watching her fall in love with a Brony.
‘I am twenty-one years old and I hate my life. Okay, maybe hate is a strong word. I’m dissatisfied.’
Tyler Branson…I never thought I would love a Brony, but I fucking love Tyler. I said it in my L&L review…Tyler is Drew 2.0 and truer words were never spoken! In all honest...I love it. Can't get enough of it, could read about Tyler and his antics all day. Why? He’s funny as fuck, sexy as sin and I will never be satisfied.

“Eeew, don’t spit in our shower!” Charlotte scolds.
“I HAVE GAVIN’S JIZZ ON MY FACE! I WILL SPIT WHEREVER THE FUCK I WANT!”
So…I figured Tyler + Ava = hot, dirty, angry sex...which is awesome for the record – and yes, we did get that, but there were also these really unexpected moments of sweetness with them.

‘“I like dirty talk, I LOVE dirty talk. What you’re doing is not dirty talk. It’s ‘weird as fuck’ talk. Repeat after me: I love fucking you, your pussy is so tight,” Ava demands.
Well, damn, that was hot. I kind of wihs I had a vagina right now.’
All bets are off in this book…if you think there is a topic that hasn’t been touched in any of the other books - HA!

‘She smiles at me and like a fucking chick, my heart skips a beat. I’m pretty sure I’ve never seen Ava smile unless she was plotting something evil and calculating. This smile is soft and lights up her entire face.
Yep, it’s happened, folks. I’ve grown a vagina.
“Why are you so unhappy with your life? You’ve got a great job, the perfect family and you get boned by a dude with made bedroom skills on a regular basis,” I smirk’

I love this author. She usually turns out books with well developed characters and a strong story line. But with this book it felt like the hero's character needed something more. Or maybe I'm wrong and just didn't get it. It sometimes felt like he was made more silly in order to justify his fetish. There are probably some perfectly normal Bronies out there. I don't know any, but I don't get out much.

I actually did like this one more then book 1 in this series - maybe as I had a break between her books, so it felt fresher.
Again, chock full of over the top situation and humour. As I have said I loved Seduction and Snacks, but for me the series' as it has gone on, has lost the Romance, and love story that that book contained. It is now all about the over the top slapstick humour. Great if you like it, but the series overall has declined for me as it has gone on.
I still enjoyed it, do not get me wrong, but I do not think I would be all fired up to read any more by this author.
The situation with Drew in this book, was a surprising twist to include, although it was obvious where it was heading as soon as Drew had to "go see a man about something". I wish we could have had more page time spent on that and it explored a bit more in depth.
But overall, I did like it, but it does feel like each book is just a copy of a previous one in the series - the same jokes, the same over the top situations, the same situations with bodily fluids/functions etc.
An as with Love and Lists, where the hell is Gavin's sister? Is she even mentioned? She seems to just never be around or talked about at all ever.
But, I did enjoy it, I just think I am over this type of humour. I need a bit of seriousness or emotional depth mixed in.

Tara Sivec never fails to deliver a laugh out loud dirty-romantic-comedy with the S&S/L&L bunch.
And every single time my boyfriend looks at me like I’m a total loony.
Can you read this as a stand alone? Sure, you can. But don't. Not when the other books are just as good. Read at least the first book of the 'Seduction and Snacks' series.

I forgot how much I loved the families in these two series and the offspring are just as entertaining as their parents.
This time we focus on Ava and though her family expect her to follow in their footsteps and work at Seduction and Snacks, she knows it is not the future career path she wants. Convincing her family of this is going to be hard.
Ava has had success with a fashion blog she started and her following has grown. She really has eye for fashion and the passion she feels confirms for her that this is the right path to follow.
Tyler is Ava's current booty call but it's nothing serious, just a bit of fun for both of them and his obsession with My Little Pony pretty much confirms for Ava that things will stay casual. His talent in the bedroom is what keeps her going back to him, again and again...
As things ramp up with her blog she is realises just how supportive Tyler is of her future plans and she likes that he is in her corner, believing in her dream. Tyler is going through his own personal things, he is looking for his birth father so he can figure out who he is and get closure.
While this is all happening, they are beginning to realise that there is more to them than just something physical and putting aside all the oddities, they actually enjoy each other's company.
Will Tyler find out who his real father is? Will Ava accept his MLP fetish and be his unicorn?
So many laugh out loud moments in this fun story, I listened to the audio version and the narration was perfect!

3.5 Silly Pony Stars
July 20, 2014
4 Friendship is Magic Star!
Ava is Charlotte’s sister that we got to know a little during Love & List. She’s a bit feisty, focused on fashion and strangely attracted to a man who has a strange fetish for everything My Little Pony. Tyler is Gavin’s best friend and our very own Brony. As Tyler navigates his way through the story, his feelings for Ava and the bombshell his parents drop on him – we get to see these two maneuver their way from bed buddies to something a bit more.
Tara’s books should come with a warning not to read them in public. She has such a way at creating these crazy characters that find themselves in the strangest of situations. From pony noises in bed, to MLP sex toys and even friendship glitter; every single moment of this book was enjoyed.
Although this story caused several laugh out loud moments, I love how you could still capture the seriousness in the moments. Tyler was out of control, one of the funniest characters and his stupidity had me loving every moment with him.
“What the hell? YOU PUT YOUR DICK IN MY ASS!” she screams.
I open the waist of my pants and glance down at my condom-covered dick in wonder, half expecting him to look up at me and wink for that sweet ninja move he pulled.
But the laughs weren’t just left to Tyler, Ava’s night out drinking forced me to put down my Kindle so I could try to catch my breath from laughing so hard. Between the shoes, the hungry drunk love and the masturbation I was dying.
“I like to masturbate on the interstate!”
Tara brings the whole gang into the story and each one remains just as crazy as they were at from book one. I don’t think any series has caused me to laugh this much, there are other comical romances, but the outright silly that is delivered in this series is amazeballs. I don’t think there is ever a time that I won’t think back to this series and just smile remembering every crazy moment of it.

My review:
This is an author you either love or hate and I loved this second addition of the Chocaholics offspring series ;) I actually listened to this book over the course of about 3 weeks as an audio book while jogging outdoors. It really did the trick and now I need to find another one hahaha
So in this book, you have Tyler and Ava. It was very cute and very funny how they started off as f*ck buddies then realized that they both loved each other. It wouldn't be Tara Sivec without craziness throughout the story - with the hero, Tyler, being a "Brony" - which I had never heard of in my life, but it seriously made me crack up. He was such a sweet guy and you can see how much he cares for Ava. Ava was a little bit of a bitch initially, but she grew on me too :)
I would say, if you like this author and are looking for something funny, you should give this a shot. The audio version was awesome. It is the first audio book that I have actually completed because I ACTUALLY enjoyed it!!!

I started in bed this morning- my laughing woke him up. Hubby said "make sure you finish before tonight!" Uh. Okay dokay - got it. Reading all day it is!!! I have the best husband ever.
I had to text my bestie while reading this and tell her to hurry the ___ up! I needed to share the laughter with someone. AND OH MY GOD did we laugh.
Some of my favorite snippets (and once you read this book - I bet they will be your favorites too!)
and of course... the book gave me the feels!
If you thought Seduction and Snacks was funny - THIS WILL COMPARE! I laughed my damn ass off.

Nothing beats the original gang in Seduction and Snacks, but this next generation of crazies are still such a treat to read about :) Tyler was the life of the party even in the first book in this series. I was so excited to finally read about him, his obsession with My Little Pony, and his love affair with the bitchy Ava. There were tons of laugh-out-loud moments as usual, which made me giggle to no end. I think the only thing that's lacking, for me, is the real intimacy and the progression of the emotional connection between Tyler and Ava. But going in this one, I knew it was really going to be about the laughs and steamy moments. So it's still a definite win for me :)

What a hoot.
Tyter is one of the most ridiculous, immature and obnoxious heroes ever. Ava is a total shallow and sometimes heartless bitch.
I adore them.
I didn't just laugh at times, but actually snorted. I can't even write down what was funny as so much of it is SOOOOO INAPPROPRIATE. Forget the plot as with 655 reviews it's been done, but just tossing my two cents in - read it.
Is it all golden? No. Some parts are downright stupid, some are downright gross. Overall hysterical.
Never knew what a Brony was before.

Holy shit that was funny! There's nothing better than actually laughing out loud while reading a book! I want more please!!!!

I don't about y'all but Tara Sivec is one of those authors that when she releases- I want it.. A book that is. Anything this woman writes is bound to be amazing.
I'm a HUGE Chocolates series fan from the start. I am not joking Spitters are quitters has been part of my normal vocabulary for over a year and a half. And as funny as Clair, Carter, Liz, Jim, Drew, and Jenny are their kids, even better. I love that we still get the parents humor but now also hearing the stories from their kids has two benefits.
1. They are all HILARIOUS
2. We relive events from their eyes which is just flipping hysterical.
So, if you are reading P&P it means you have read Love and Lists. L&L was so good and I laughed so hard at so many parts but mainly at Tyler. Could I love that kid anymore? No. I couldn't. He's like Drew- but better, funnier, weirder…
So P&P is telling Ava and Tyler's stories. You still get everyone else as well but this one- is all about them and it's freaking awesome.
Ava is stuck working for her Mom Liz and S&S. We knew that from L&L (as she was assistant to Gavin) but we didn't know she isn't just a lazy spoiled brat but she hates that job because she aspires her own dream. Tyler, is just a lost pony. His addiction to My Little Pony is so funny but that's not what his story is about. He is "finding who he is" so to speak and while I laughed so hard at Tyler, I also felt for him. MY heart saw a different side of him and Ava.
There are SO many highlights throughout this book that I would LOVE to quote but I don't want to spoil some really good parts of this story. I will tell you that in this one, you see a different side of Tara's writing. Yes, she is still the funniest B*otch I know but she shows you the softer emotional side. I loved it. I have to give you a few spoiler free quotes because I just loved them so much that you MUST hear them::
"You shut your face! Shut your face right now"
"No, YOU shut your prancing face Twilight Sparkle"
"F*ck your face, F*ck your face right now"
"If you need to borrow one of my ponytail holders, you need to pack up your vagina and leave"
"Can we stop pretending like we have vaginas? I don't want to talk about my feelings, Dr. Phil."
"Yep, its' happened, folks. I've grown a vagina"
Moral of the story^ There is ALOT of vagina in this book.. Aka- emotion. LOL
I'll wrap it up by saying this: I love Tara. When I grow up, I want to be Tara. She's just an amazing person, writer, and GD funnier than anyone. EVER.
The whole meaning behind P&P- Be who YOU are. Be Proud of it. It's okay to be different and unique because behind all that- You are still a good person. What's normal anyway? Normal is BORING..
<3 Thank you Ms. Tara for sharing another amazing story. I could never get enough of these characters so keep 'em coming;)
I'm a HUGE Chocolates series fan from the start. I am not joking Spitters are quitters has been part of my normal vocabulary for over a year and a half. And as funny as Clair, Carter, Liz, Jim, Drew, and Jenny are their kids, even better. I love that we still get the parents humor but now also hearing the stories from their kids has two benefits.
1. They are all HILARIOUS
2. We relive events from their eyes which is just flipping hysterical.
So, if you are reading P&P it means you have read Love and Lists. L&L was so good and I laughed so hard at so many parts but mainly at Tyler. Could I love that kid anymore? No. I couldn't. He's like Drew- but better, funnier, weirder…
So P&P is telling Ava and Tyler's stories. You still get everyone else as well but this one- is all about them and it's freaking awesome.
Ava is stuck working for her Mom Liz and S&S. We knew that from L&L (as she was assistant to Gavin) but we didn't know she isn't just a lazy spoiled brat but she hates that job because she aspires her own dream. Tyler, is just a lost pony. His addiction to My Little Pony is so funny but that's not what his story is about. He is "finding who he is" so to speak and while I laughed so hard at Tyler, I also felt for him. MY heart saw a different side of him and Ava.
There are SO many highlights throughout this book that I would LOVE to quote but I don't want to spoil some really good parts of this story. I will tell you that in this one, you see a different side of Tara's writing. Yes, she is still the funniest B*otch I know but she shows you the softer emotional side. I loved it. I have to give you a few spoiler free quotes because I just loved them so much that you MUST hear them::
"You shut your face! Shut your face right now"
"No, YOU shut your prancing face Twilight Sparkle"
"F*ck your face, F*ck your face right now"
"If you need to borrow one of my ponytail holders, you need to pack up your vagina and leave"
"Can we stop pretending like we have vaginas? I don't want to talk about my feelings, Dr. Phil."
"Yep, its' happened, folks. I've grown a vagina"

4.5 Sparkly Penis Stars!!!
Thanks to Tara Sivec, I now have a real f*cking urge to buy a purple glittery Twilight Sparkle shirt and watch My Little Pony all day, errday. Friendship IS Magic!
"Have you ever taken off all of your clothes and curled up in a box of cotton blended t-shirts? It's like floating on a cloud."
"What? You're delusional. I don't prance. I NEVER prance."
"How many times do I have to tell you? When you're trying new, kinky shit, always get that stuff on camera. It's like you were raised in a barn or something."

Once again we get to enter the world of our much loved Snacks and Seduction characters. And whilst a good grounding in the back stories is very helpful, I do believe that this book could be read alone and be hugely enjoyable.
Tara has excelled herself this time, and given us more insight into the weird world of S&S and I cannot thank her enough for this wonderful book. Please can we have Molly's story very soon?
Passion and Ponies is definitely the funniest book I have ever read, and yet it tells a wonderful love story too. This is now top of my list of rereads to make me happy - it should be yours too!

I read this on the back of book one in the series...Love and Lists, Gavin and Charlottes story.
This time we are in the slightly disturbing mind of Gavin's best friend Tyler! He is pursuing Charlottes sister Ava, who hate f&@ks him on occasion.
This book took a wide turn into crazy town. Seriously.
I know Brony's (people with a My Little Pony fetish) are a real thing.....And all due respect, whatever turns you on! But I had a moment reading this book where I wondered how far down the rabbit hole I was; when I have slipped from reading about smouldering dark Heroes with Red Rooms hidden away.....to Heroes who want their mate to use a butt plug with a My Little Pony rainbow tail attached while they neigh and whinny in place of muttering dirty secrets.
1 (Brony's and Furries will never be my thing) star.

I think it is safe to say, this is my favorite of the series. It has all of the humor we love from Tara Sivec and we get the sweet from Tyler I didn't see coming. Sivec does a fabulous job merging these two qualities while keeping true to the Chocoholics series. I can now add "Tyler the Brony is sweet, sexy and dare I say a lot swoon worthy" to the list of things I thought I'd never type!

I can't say enough good things about this book or the series.
It had me laughing with just about every turn of the page. A lot of the stuff I read doesn't have humor in it and if so only a laugh or two through out the whole book. This book (and series) has them on every other page. My family would look over at me and constantly ask what was so funny.
In my opinion, it's one worth reading, I mean, duh! I gave it 5 stars so of course I think it's worth reading :D
Oh and I forgot, there's a Broney in it :)

5+ stars
I love nearly every single Tara Sivec book i've read but Passion and Ponies i think is my new favourite i love how we are now getting the kids stories from the Chocolate Lovers series i pretty much have half the book highlighted it was so funny.I didn't even know what a Brony was until we met Tyler in Love and Lists but now i will never be able to look at My Little Pony again without thinking of Tyler.I really hope there is more books to come in this series.
