Candy Kisses Kindle Edition

Candy Price is tired. Tired of her three older brothers talking her into blind dates with their friends; tired of living in Albany, New York; and tired of her overbearing boss. She'd love to break away and quit her job as a media assistant for a gubernatorial candidate. But that would only validate her brothers' view that she's flighty.

As a diversion, she decides to help her landlord---witty, gorgeous Mike Wheeler---find a new woman. Mike has a diversion of his own in mind: convincing Candy that there's more to life than out-succeeding her brothers. And if something develops between them, well, he certainly won't fight it.

The result? A contest to find the perfect kiss. The rules? Points per kiss are paid in candy kisses. And winner takes all as Candy and Mike begin to fall for each other in this sweet game of love.

Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In Gordon's fourth novel (after Mandy and the Mayor), Candy Price isn't quite excited about the prospect of spending yet another summer in her hometown of Albany, working for a histrionics-prone boss and yearning for an opportunity to leverage her job as assistant to a gubernatorial candidate into something more important, perhaps even in Washington. In the absence of a realistic opportunity to "get out of SmAll-bany," Candy settles on the project of improving the love life of her recently-jilted roommate, Mike Wheeler. Mike, in turn, agrees to help Candy find romance of her own. Using a bag of chocolate kisses, Candy and Mike devise a system of rating the real kisses they receive from their dates. Several weeks and an interminable string of candy-related puns later, Candy and Mike begin to arrive at an obvious conclusion. While a subplot about Mike's job at a veterans' home being endangered adds momentum, it fails to elevate this cookie-cutter romance.

Review

In the appealing, adorable Candy Kisses by Jean C. Gordon, Candy Price is burdened with a community of brothers who all think they know what's best for her--and she'd love to prove them wrong, but first she needs to figure out what the right choice is. Stuck in Albany for the summer with only her landlord, the very handsome and cheerful Mike Wheeler, she decides to take on a challenge: She's going to find Mike a new girlfriend and, in the meantime, they can share pointers on the dating scene. Candy is about to find out what love is all about, but first she has to learn how to stand up to the boss who takes advantage of her all the time and learn to let other people help her. Candy Kisses is an upbeat romance about two good people who need to make that love connection. -- BookPage, July 2, 2007

Sometimes a "cookie cutter" romance is just what you need to escape on a rainy afternoon. Worth a look.

Reviewed in the United States on March 6, 2008
Cany Kisses is a fun day at the park read. I picked it up and enjoyed it from the beginning where the two best friends are IM'ing each other about their day. It made me think of friends that are where I grew up and how we stay in touch through the computer. The romance development between Mike and Candy was playful and sweet. The candy kisses game gave the story some funny parts that I laughed and enjoyed the scenes as if it was actually happening in front of me.Candy Kisses is a book that a reader can relate to.
