HER HALLOWEEN TREAT is book one in the Men at Work
series
by Tiffany Reisz. Joey Silvia leaves Hawaii to head home
for her brother's wedding. Unfortunately for Joey this is
not the happy homecoming she'd prefer. She is devastated
after just discovering that her boyfriend of two years
was secretly married. I like how Tiffany Reisz writes
about the betrayal. While Joey's ex is obviously a jerk
and she moves on, Tiffany Reisz does a superb job of
showing the complexity and gray areas when it comes to
human emotions. When she unexpectedly meets all grown up
and super-hot handy man Chris Steffensen, Joey is knocked
for a loop. What starts out as two old high school
friends reminiscing quickly escalates into a sinfully
delicious erotic connection.
I like that HER HALLOWEEN TREAT is told from alternating
perspectives. I love Chris' memories of his times with
Joey when they were teenagers. Although he thinks he was
a borderline creeper when it came to Joey, I found his
treasured memories to be incredibly sweet and swoon-
worthy. Chris and Joey are well-matched and the laid-back
tone of their burgeoning romantic relationship, and fun
banter sprinkled throughout their smoking-hot trysts,
make HER HALLOWEEN TREAT such a delight. The passionate
encounters between Joey and Chris are electrifying. There
is really no huge source of conflict in HER HALLOWEEN
TREAT. The main obstacle to Chris and Joey being together
on a permanent basis is Joey's struggle to figure out
what direction she wants the rest of her life to go in
after having been betrayed and shocked is such a
catastrophic way. Joey doesn't distrust Chris, but she
has a hard time trusting herself after being so easily
deceived for so long. I adore stories in which the hero
pursues the heroine and Chris weaves a web of seduction
that is hard to resist.
HER HALLOWEEN TREAT is a stellar erotic love story with
lots of charm. Second-chance-at-love and friends-to-
lovers romances are an addiction of mine and HER
HALLOWEEN TREAT satisfies my cravings. I like that Joey's
brother Dillon is supportive without interfering in his
sister's relationship with his best friend. It's an
interesting dynamic having such a strong connection
between Joey, Dillon, and Chris. This book has made me
eager to hunt down other books by Tiffany Reisz and look
forward to the next story in this Men at Work series.
It was a devastating dirty trick—Joey Silvia just found out
her boyfriend of two years is married. What. A. Dick. Joey
knows her best chance to get over one guy is to get under
another. Of course, heading home to her family's remote
cabin in Oregon poses some challenges in the "available men"
department…until she discovers this cabin comes with its own
hot handyman!
Holy crap, Chris Steffensen. When did her brother's best
friend turn into a hard-bodied pile of blond-bearded
hotness? He's the perfect Halloween treat—and a surprisingly
dirty rebound guy. For a couple of weeks, anyway. Except
that Chris has other ideas…like proving to Joey that this
blast from the past is a whole lot more than a naughty
Halloween hookup.
