5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Read!

I really enjoyed reading this book about a candy store with Callie & Derek. Callie owns a candy store in Saratoga Springs NY and she's struggling and if she doesn't come up with a new twist she'll have to close her shop. She only has the best job in the world making candy and she's very good at it, her truffles are to die for. In fact she's at a wedding now and the bride and groom purchased truffles and served them on all the tables, and the guests can't get enough of them. Callie is very happy for the new bride and groom, but her mind is not on celebrating its on her failing business, in fact she's so distraught she walks up to the bar and says I'll take anything strong in the form of alcohol. Now Callie doesn't drink, but theirs an extremely attractive gentleman already at the bar, that she's drooling over and he tells the bartender to give her a shot of tequila. She takes a sip and says are you trying to kill me, that's disgusting! Derek says you have to drink it the right way, so he lowers her jersey dress exposing her gorgeous neck proceeds to drop salt on it, then he sticks the lime wedge flesh out in her mouth, bends down and licks the salt off her neck, picks up the shot and downs it, then moves to her lips and sucks the lime juice out and drops the rind in the glass. Callie is on fire, and she vows to herself to show him how it's done, she walks her finger up his chest to his bow tie, then walks her other finger up his hand, and unhooked the cuff-link and let's it drop to the floor and rolls the cuff back. Places the salt on the palm of his hand, places the lime in his mouth flesh pointing out, licks the salt off his palm, downs the shot and then sucks the juice of the lime in his mouth. Not only is Callie on fire, but so is Derek she's so hot, that he wants more of her. When Callie looks up, she realizes she's in major trouble with the hottie, but she's also embarrassed she's never acted this way before and she's ashamed. Just as the bride and groom call for the best-man, everybody turns around and is witnessing the sucking of the lime and they are mesmerized, Callie looks up and takes off running. Derek is unable to run after her because its time to toast the bride and groom. Read this book, the tequila scene is explosive, and will make you cum a lot. The book will make you laugh, and cry and of course cum a lot. Enjoy reading it!

4.0 out of 5 stars Another great book by Bella Andre.....wish it were longer!

This is my fourth book from this author and for a short story, it did not disappoint! Callie is a candy maker and candy store owner. She has always wanted to be that, so when she had the opportunity to open her store on Main street, she didn't hesitate. She has done well, but in the last few years, her expenses were starting to be more than her sales. She needed help or her store would be broke and she would have to close. She hires a candy consulting firm to help her, her life and business depended on it. At a wedding she was catering, she met the most handsome man she'd seen, Derek AKA the best man. Her attraction to Derek was so big that what started as a tease, resulted in a very steamy one night stand. The next day she finds out that Derek is the man that is supposed to help her revive her store. Can they keep their relationship pure business or can you mix business with pleasure and still come out ahead?

Story moved quick and kept the reader interested. Steamy romance, perfect ending, wish it were longer! Great little book, worth reading, perfect for Valentine's day!

Dear Reader
Fun Sexy Quick Romance 🥰 check it out if you want book to devour in one sitting .
Only gave it 3 because it’s not a super long book full of multiple characters. It’s pretty much the two finding love & lightening Rod passion .
We all know the difference between quick reads and our more involved books .
It’s a wonderful read .

This was just what I needed after having read much darker themed stories over the past couple of weeks....
From body shots at the bar to Derek and Callie finally making it to the bedroom - this wonderful story just captured my heart....
Callie was so sweet and vulnerable....Derek - hot and romantic to the core! I regret this was just a short story - I could have read more and more!!!
Sit back, relax and treat yourself to this tasty little morsel : )

4.0 out of 5 stars Steamy but not up to par with Bella Andre's works
Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2013

I cannot keep count of how many books of Bella Andre I have read. And I have always enjoyed all of them. I enjoyed "Candy Store" also, but it is not up to par with the other works of Bella Andre that I have read.

The premise of the book is fun. The heroine is a confectioner who loves making great candy but has no idea about sales and promotion. The hero is a marketing genius and nicknamed Candy King because candies is his specialty. They met and the chemistry between them was palpable from the first page to the last. The sex scenes were steamy do doubt.

But, there was no conflict! I mean, the "conflict" presented was shallow at best. It could have been a small misunderstanding between the two lovers. Perhaps its because the characters were not developed enough; nevertheless, though the HEA was there, it felt that an ingredient was missing.

Still a steamy read though, so it's still worth the download. But if you are expecting the Bella Andre you know, let us just say that this is not one of her best works.

This book is rated M for mature due to sex.

This book was such a turn on. They had drama and attraction from the get go, then she was thrown a loop as he was to be her business contact. I loved the sex scenes, it seemed real. I was totally caught up in this short novel and how being with her made him change is mind about his career choices.

Sometimes we get our help from the least likely places. A great read, short, fast and just what I needed before hitting the sack :)

Candy store owner meets candy King, first as strangers at a wedding where they f****d each other in a commercial fridge. Then again as he meets her to help stop her business going under. Lust and love go hand in hand but with a some hiccups along the way.
