Joey Silvia just learned in a most dramatic manner that her boyfriend of two years had been married all that time. As she was already going home to Oregon for her brother Dillon's wedding to Oscar, Joey would try to lick her wounds at the same time. Her best friend Kira suggests that the best way to get the cheating weasel out of her system is to have sex, lots of sex, but only sex, with the first suitable guy Joey meets. Joey is going to her parents' old cabin in Lost Lake, expecting to see something out of The Green Acres, but it looks terrific! It seems Chris Steffensen did all that, and oh yes, he was the first good-looking guy she met. Her older brother's friend and protector certainly does not look like the slacker he once was. Chris was also Joey's very platonic friend, while she definitely liked him, she would never have entertained any romantic notions about Chris then, but now...

What fabulous fun! HER HALLOWEEN TREAT is light and airy as the enticing Oregon scenery that Ms. Reisz describes so well. It's lively, pleasant, and it all felt real, down to the lightning-quick trip down the 1980s memory lane and the Halloween them, which is rather incidental to the story, but gives the author several opportunities to induce the reader into uncontrollable giggle fits. HER HALLOWEEN TREAT is a very quick read, character-oriented, which are so well fleshed out, I felt they were my friends as well, and I loved the backstories which get us acquainted with the teenage Joey, Chris and Dillon. It was easy to identify with Joey, Chris is a real sweetheart, and I believed in the romance all the way. What woman in her right mind could resist Chris! The writing is unpretentious, crisp as fresh-fallen snow, and the dialogues simply blew me away: the banter is hilarious, down to earth, witty, and so authentic. Ms. Reisz could have written HIS GIRL FRIDAY!

I must say that HER HALLOWEEN TREAT is my favourite "best friend's little sister" ever. The author really knows how to utilize the so-called "romance tropes;" she uses them as suggestions, and the brilliant Tiffany Reisz runs away with it, like it happens in real life; nothing ever feels fabricated or formulaic; that's the way to do it!. And the sex scenes? Oh my! Hot, hot, hot, sweet, funny, and playful. And amidst all that fun, sexiness, and hair- tearing (because, on the rebound), who would have thought I would tear up! If you need a book to forget everything that's wrong with the world, HER HALLOWEEN TREAT is it!
