Addicted. That’s right, I’m seriously addicted to Melanie Harlow and the fact that she wrote one of my favorite trope of best friend’s little sister romance, I knew that I would be once again be spellbinded by her latest new release, Man Candy.
Man Candy was fresh, sexy, sweet, raw and deliciously addicting. Melanie Harlow has redefined the best friend’s little sister romance trope as she put in her fun twist as she made the heroine, Jaime a non-believer in love. Usually in most books, it is the other way around but Ms. Harlow allowed readers to see and feel the raw emotional pull of a young 17 year old girl who believed in love to now a 27 year old girl who doesn’t believe in happily ever afters and soul mates.

When Jaime was 17 years old, she confessed her love to her older brother’s best friend, Quinn but he turned her down saying that she’s too young and it’s just crush. So fast forward to ten years later, Jaime comes face to face with Quinn when he temporarily moves into the duplex that her family owns in Detroit. Quinn is back and is ready to settle down and this time he wants Jaime but the problem is Jaime doesn’t do the hearts and flowers kind of romance. How far will Quinn go to make her a believer in love?
Man Candy was smart, funny, sexy, and raw. Melanie Harlow can make any reader a believer in romance with her quick-witted banter while still maintaining a sizzling and palpable chemistry. What I love about this book was that Ms. Harlow made her characters relatable. She showed us flawed characters who just needed time, growth, and a push in the right direction to open up their heart, mind, and soul to the one person that truly can show her love. So if you are looking for a sizzling, detectable, and fresh modern romance then Man Candy is the book for you.
