ROTFLMAO!
Olivia Gaines never disappoints. If you've read 'Still Life' by Cordelia Michelsen then you're in need of an antidote and The Zelda Diaries is the cure. Guaranteed to make you laugh and put a smile on your face.
Coming Soon: Zelda heads to Kentucky to visit Scott in 'A Freakin' Fantastic Friday' (The Zelda Diaries - Book 3)

Rating: 4 1/2 stars
The only reason this book does not get five stars is that it's too short. Books one and two could be a full-scale novel. I'm certain book three could be added into the mix. Admittedly the author has a way of closing the story without it feeling like a cliff-hanger, just a closing episode. I can deal with that.
More revelations come out in this latest installment with Zelda and Scott. With Scott's visit, little tidbits about his life, past and present are hinted at or discussed, and the interest levels broaden for this reader. Oh, and it's not just the sizzling hot sex either, though that never gets old in this story because this couple has chemistry in the bedroom and outside it.
Olivia Gaines also does an amazing job with character development. Both Scott and Zelda are evolving, growing and healing through mutual feelings and experiences.
Zelda's family and friends all have their faces pressed to the glass, squinting and scratching their heads. Who is Scott Berger? And what the hell does Zee see in him?
Zee's brother, Michael, is front and center, assertively feeling this stranger out as the long-term guardian and protector over his besotted sibling. I vibed on how Michael eases into his dynamic with Scott. There is initial friction, but then, they bond over things guys enjoy. While Scott brings a new perspective to Zelda and her brother, and how to simply enjoy life. There is a hint of a dark secret in Zelda's past that is on the horizon. If anyone can deal with it and help her through it, it's Scott.
I'm looking forward to the next book and can't wait to see what happens when Zee meets Scott's family and visits his home. Especially since her brother and her grandmother are both invited.

This is such a sweet series of falling in love with somone who physically isn't your type but has all the qualities you want. That's what happens to Zelda when she goes to a cooky conference for her job. Not in the least bit attracted to Scott the weird looking CEO. Each book takes you on a journey of how these two get to know each other and fall in love. Scott just wants someone willing to love all is qualities and not try to change him and Zelda wants a man ready to commit. Great story looking forward to reading this series.

Book two of Zelda and Scott's budding relationship was so good! I'm loving just watching how their long distance relationship progresses and how they each want to change and do little things that will make each other happy. Each book seems to be another date/get together and I love that we're getting so much detail of their love story even though they are shorter books. That being in new love feeling shines through this story and takes me back to the days when I was dating. Love all the feels! Oh, and Michael, Zelda's brother might be my favorite character. His humor was exactly what was needed to break all the awkward tension that was happening along the way.

Scott's so sweet
He definitely is not an alpha male but he makes up with his kindness, and consideration of others. He knows what he wants and Zelda is it. He will do anything to make Zelda see he is serious about her. They are in the discovery stage of their relationship. Zelda is finding things out about Scott that has her wondering about him. I am assuming Scott will be finding things out about Zelda in the next installment.
This easy an enjoyable easy read story.

The second book of this series. I am LOVING watching them maneuver through their dating. They each have their concerns but they also know what they want. I am enjoying seeing them find it in each other through these date. Definitely read these in order as each book seems to build upon the previous one.

A Weekend of First!!!
I'm totally in love with Scott, because he is so down to earth, and seeing him, is like seeing a little boy who is growing up to fast. Scott, see's everything from a different perspective, and point of view that's totally his own, which makes Zelda just perfect for him, because she is a straight shooter and asks the questions that need to be answered. I'm glad Zelda's, brother was, and is over protective, in looking out for her, i'm also glad he got to meet Scott doing his visit, and formed a positive opinion, and a relationship between the two of them. I cannot wait for the next installment of Zelda and Scott.

I love this story about Zelda and Scott, it's funny original and a compelling read.
I love this story about Zelda and Scott, it's funny original and a compelling read.
The story is funny as hell, at one stage I actually laughed out loud, I love the way the characters development is coming along I really want to see them end up being together. I'm concerned about the little behaviour change in Scott's character and Zelda's, but I think the anticipation makes me want the next chapter of their relationship to start immediately, I cannot wait until the next instalment. Well done Olivia, you've made me a fan of your brilliantly written work.

Yep Tuesday did tantalize!
Zelda, Scott,Chandler, Michael, Jinny and a most jealous Margo come together with plans to meet up after Zelda, Scott and Michael leave Grandma Lula's. But before we get there we have to get through Scott's visit on Zelda's day off that was momentarily interrupted by both Jinny and Margo with some childhood memories coming back to Zelda with Michael trying to determine how much of their childhood he should divulge to Zelda. Decisions, decisions, decisions but all will not be disclosed in this story but one thing is for sure the laughs just keep on coming. I plan to read all of Zelda's diaries because they are funny, insightful and keeps adding more and more colorful characters to the fray!

Absolutely tantalizing!
OMG! I'm loving Scott and Zelda! They both have demons but I know they defeat them and find the love with each other they both deserve! Scott is definitely an enigma. Can't wait to find out about the third woman who broke his heart. Zelda is the typical damaged female who's had her heart broken by a knucklehead no good guy!
Looking forward to A Frickin' Fantastic Friday!

A Very Good and Sensual Interracial Romantic Comedy
A Tantalizing Tuesday (The Zelda Diaries Book 2) is a very good and sensual interracial romantic comedy that earned a rating of five stars. I enjoyed reading this book and I found it to be humorous and sensual as Scott and Zelda continues to fall in love. I am looking forward to reading the next installment of this series and I would recommend it to who enjoys reading very good romantic comedies.

A love in progress
No games. Scott and Zelda adult well together. They are honest about wanting each other and really knowing each other. Their hearts know they belong together but the brain and past have not brought it together yet.
This story is refreshing and hot. Seeing the awe and wonder of the simple things, through someone else's eyes is mind opening.
Love is so worth the truth. Demons and all.

Peeling the layers of LOVE
I am enjoying reading how Scott and Zelda fall In love with each other. As they learn more about each other, hidden things are brought to the surface. Their love is raising above everything and they are learning to trust each other. Her brother, Micheal, almost stills this book with his comments about Scott's looks though. Just like Pip in book 1! Haha! Can't wait for the next tale!

Getting aGo Know You
Okay book was was great. Now book two was good.
In This second book it was all about sex to Zelda. I thither is an undercover freak. The sex toy box was interesting.
All I can say is Michael lived a shelter life due to his looks.
Was happy to see that Zelda like Michael enough to want to know more about his life. I guess we will have to wait until July to find out how the series end

Olivia Gaines is a welcome jewel of an author. I cannot believe I laughed so hard I cried. The interaction between Scott and Michael was hilarious but add Zelda in the mix with her forward thoughts and comments made this a winner for me. For the repeated laughs and the care in the growth of the characters makes this series a winner for me, but I LOVE book #2 "A Tantalizing Tuesday - Zelda Diaries!!
I recommend this completely!

What's Important
As Scott and Zelda's romance continues we get to learn about her home life.
Scott does a great job of integrating into her routine as he learns about the most important person in her life and experiences the new and exciting along the way.
The story is funny.
The lessons are important.
The charm is genuine.

Emotional Sexy Read!
This is a very romantic book. Not the sappy, romantic gestures. Well, maybe one or two of those. But the deep, down, touch you in your actions, or statements. Complemented by great sex, and humor to make your sides hurt. I love this story and its gradual growth. This one tugged at my heartstrings and woman parts. A perfect combination.
I'm off to read the next book in the series with a recommendation that you do as well.
