Man Candy by Melanie Harlow
Release Date: June 20, 2016
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Synopsis:

He’s back.

Not just back in town, but living in the flat right beneath mine. And he looks good enough to eat, which is just one more reason to stay away from him.

But I can’t resist.

The sex is incredible (pretty sure we’ve shaken the house right off its foundation), but he can’t fool me—not this time. A degree in marketing and five years in advertising have taught me that “true love” is a fairy tale used to sell lipstick, diamonds, and perfume. It doesn’t exist.

He thinks I’m wrong, and he wants to prove it.

I think he’s crazy, so I dare him to try.

It might be the biggest mistake of my life.

“I hate that I love you,” she said. “You left me.”

“I lost you, there’s a difference. Now that I found you, I intend to keep you.”

Lost.

I’d tasted the sweetest fruit of temptation, and I wanted another bite. I had promised myself before, but once wasn’t enough. The savory flavor of her lingered long after I’d lost her. Contending with the pressure to return to the fight, in order to prove myself to my father and the world, I had to let her go.

Found.

It has been a year. Sofie Vincentia and I had played a dangerous game. For one night, we pretended, only to discover our farce was real. I’d lost her, but I hadn’t stopped searching, hoping for her return. I was used to getting what I wanted, so when she didn’t come to me, I had to go after her. This would be the greatest fight of my life.

I received a copy of the book from the author for an honest review.
Oh boy. Cain and Sofie. Kusch and Atom. Abel and Elma. Seeing people from LB’s first series in the book and loving that cross over!! So many crazy storylines. Your mind is always busy and thinking and wondering and saying “WHA!!!”
Cain met and married on a drunken night, Sofie who is the woman of his dreams. But because we all know how Atom, Cain’s awful father is, he has to hide this marriage from everyone…including his wife! When Cain sees Sofie again, He has to have her and this time keep her FOREVER!!
The whole story is them trying to figure it out. They both love each other But there is soooo much standing in the way. Her jealous and insecurity of other woman. Him fearing losing her when his father finds out. His father pitting him and his brother against one another. DRAMA people…Straight up DRAMA!!
The story kept my mind RACING!! I mean I was like WHAT and then OH SNAP followed by NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. The secrets that are revealed at the end of the book will defo change the family and their dynamic. I was super excited to see who strolled in at the end and hope that there is another book coming. I don’t think that Cain and Abel’s story is finished just yet!!

I’d like to say I was always a writer. I’d also like to say that I wrote every day of my life since a child. That I took the teaching advice I give my former students because writing every day improves your writing. I’d like to say I have my ten-thousand hours that makes me a proficient writer. But I can’t say any of those things. I did dream of writing the “Great American Novel” until one day a friend said: Why does it have to be great? Why can’t it just be good and tell a story?

As a teenager, I wrote your typical love-angst poetry that did occasionally win me an award and honor me with addressing my senior high school class at our Baccalaureate Mass. I didn’t keep a journal because I was too afraid my mom would find it in the mattress where I kept my copy of Judy Blume’s Forever that I wasn’t allowed to read as a twelve year old.

I can say that books have been my life. I’m a reader. I loved to read the day I discovered “The Three Bears” as a first grader, and ever since then, the written word has been my friend. Books were an escape for me. An adventure to the unknown. A love affair I’d never know. I could be lost for hours in a book.

So why writing now? I had a story to tell. It haunted me from the moment I decided if I just wrote it down it would go away. But it didn’t. Three years after writing the first draft, a sign (yes, I believe in them) told me to fix up that draft and work the process to have it published. That’s what I did. But one story let to another, and another, and another. Then a new idea came into my head and a new storyline was created.

I was accused (that’s the correct word) of having an overactive imagination as a child, as if that was a bad thing. I’ve also been accused of having the personality of a Jack Russell terrier, full of energy, unable to relax, and always one step ahead. What can I say other than I have stories to tell and I think you’ll like them. If you don’t, that’s okay. We all have our book boyfriends. We all have our favorites. Whatever you do, though, take time for yourself and read a book.

L.B. Dunbar

“We were the nightmares of nightmares…” 

On the surface, Ricki Conklin is just an average bloke, a brilliant tattooist with his own shop. 
Below the surface, he’s a vigilante revenge-seeker, atoning for a past he fears will never set him free. 

Jaime is his everything, his foul-mouthed Dollface. 
Covered in ink from collarbone to feet, she’s a wild child after his heart. 
Set adrift, losing faith in herself and humanity, she’s broken down not by abuse, but by neglect. For years, she exists only so she can finally come home. 

This is their story.

Kelli Jean 

Born and raised in Miami, Kelli Jean traded the tropical heat for the arctic. Now she deals with twenty-four hour daylight in the summer, zero sunlight in the winter, and believes the Northern Lights make up for the mind-boggling amount of ice and snow she has to put up with for seven months out of the year. 

She’s surrounded by mountains and ocean and sheep, and claims her bizarre sense of humor 

is what keeps her sane.

 

The insane don’t know they’re insane.

Kelli uses her imagination to create worlds she can escape to from the mundane tasks of everyday life, such as washing the damn dishes and vacuuming up Legos off the floor–and don’t get her started on the mad amount of cat hair on the end of the couch. She gave up on that a long time ago. When the household goes to sleep at night, she writes down everything that happened in her head while doing such tedious chores. But she enjoys living in her own head, so that’s pretty cool.

Technology terrifies her. She can barely turn on a computer, and was completely shocked when she’d actually written a book on one. To this day, she has no explanation for this baffling mystery. It took her three years to realize she can take screen shots of messages and pictures of bearded, tattooed men with her phone. Now that she’s mastered this task, her phone is slowly dying, and she’s nervous that she’s going to have to buy a new one and it will take her another three years to learn how to use it.

I’m not a good man.

I’m not a bad man.

But I’ve made some bad mistakes, made the wrong choices.

Who hasn’t? But the consequences are tearing us apart.

I love two people.

I love them differently.

The world tells me I have to choose. Why? Why do I have to choose?

Loving hurts. Dancing heals.

Love makes you soar, makes you fly and sets you free—and then it lets you freefall until you’re smashed and bleeding on the ground. Ultimately, love is the worst thing that can happen to a human being.

I’m my opinion.

I love two people.

I love them differently.

One is a man.

One is a woman.

And they are brother and sister.

**** A stand alone novel in the best-selling Rhythm Series. ****

We strolled up Charing Cross Road talking about the usual first date stuff: music we liked, where I was from. He’d even been to Slovenia, telling me about a bachelor party he’d gone on in Ljubljana, although he called it a ‘stag night’.

“I loved the city, but it was a bloody awful weekend. All Harry’s friends were straight. They knew I wasn’t, but it was obviously uncomfortable for them. God, the strippers were the worst! Ugly old trouts with waxed pussies like badly made Barbie dolls—hideous!”

I smiled at the image.

“Wouldn’t bother me.”

“Well, it didn’t bother me, but it’s not exactly my cup of tea either.”

“You … drank tea?” I asked, puzzled.

Seth laughed. “Sorry! That’s very British. But your English is so good … it means, not my scene.”

“Oh, okay. I like strippers if they’re good—women or men. I have sex with both.”

“You’ve had sex with strippers?”

“Yeah, but…”

“Really?”

“Sure,” and I turned to watch his face. “Both: men and women.”

His eyebrows shot up and his mouth popped open.

“You … I … really?”

“Is that a deal breaker? You said you didn’t want to play games.”

“You’re really bi?”

“Yeah, I’m really bi.”

“You have sex with women?” he asked, his mouth twisting with dislike.

“Yeah.”

“Often?”

“Jesus! Yes, often. And with men, often.”

“When was the last time you … with a woman?”

“The night before I met you.”

“Wow.” Seth shook his head slowly. “I don’t know what to say.”

My shoulders tensed.

Seth was staring at me, a confused expression of dislike on his face.

Synopsis:

From the first moment I saw Janny Moore’s sparkling eyes and luminous smile, I’ve been obsessed with the idea of getting to know her…

watching.

She’s everything I need in my life, now I just have to convince her.

She’s never set eyes on me, she has no idea I exist…

but she will.

Excerpt:

If you’d asked me when I was in college what I thought I would be doing in ten years’ time, this wouldn’t have been my answer. Life as a private
investigator isn’t as exciting as one might think. Sure, there are moments of danger which get my adrenaline pumping and when that happens, no other high
can compare. I used to live for that feeling and for a while you could even say I was addicted to it. But the choices we make have consequences and one
decision can change everything.

These days I do a lot of watching and even more waiting. I’m the guy people pay to find the truth buried under all the lies. Eventually, I see past the
surface of who you’re pretending to be, revealing all that you’ve kept hidden and I know firsthand appearances can be deceiving.

Sara Adams awakes blind, unable to remember the most basic details of her life, but her darkness seems a blessing when she discovers the terrors of The Light.

Stella Montgomery investigates the news on the mean streets of Detroit, where she’s noticed a disturbing trend: young women are vanishing. When her best friend disappears, Stella investigates—despite warnings from her police detective boyfriend—following a twisted trail that leads her through the city’s most dangerous and forsaken precincts. There she uncovers something more sinister than she could have imagined: a shadowy organization known as The Light, led by the enigmatic Father Gabriel.

As Sara struggles to understand her place in the strange world she’s awakened to—an oppressive cult demanding unquestioning obedience—and her feelings for Jacob, the husband she can’t recall and whose harsh and tender attentions confuse and beguile her, Stella risks all to discover the truth. But enlightenment always comes with a price…

I received a copy of this book from Netgalley for an honest review.

OMG My heart is beating like mad outta my chest.  AHHH.  I need people.  I need a support group.  I need to TALK ABOUT THIS BOOK!! Now all of you people who love Aleatha’s dark stuff…this isn’t really dark and not the DARK DARK like her other books.  As I told my scaredy pants bestie, this is a book you can read.  This book is a mystery and suspense.  I kept turning the pages to know “Why?” or “Who?” and then it was “but are they bad?” or even “ but why are they doing it?”  This book kept me going.  When I THOUGHT I had stuff figured out…BOOM I was wrong and then the new twist made me read even harder and faster.  BOOM another bombshell and I kinda thought maybe I know where this will be headed but wow was I so off base and ugh….SEE Support group is needed.  People you need to know what is my head and it needs to come out…..do you know how hard this review is going to be!!?????  Spoiler Free it shall be but OMG PEOPLE!!!  BUY THE BOOK and then PLEASE for the love of Father Gabriel and The Light, talk to me!!!

I FLoved the book and how we had multiple POV’s because honestly you need them.   I loved reading Sara’s struggle to understand why if she is a member of The Light then why is her memory gone?  Then reading Stella’s parts of the story and her desperate need to find her best friend who disappeared out of nowhere.

The story flows sooooo well and you learn which characters to be weary.  You also learn quickly who is good and who is not good.  Who to trust and who to conceal your truths from.
