Sneaking Candy is a quick, light read about Candice, an MFA grad student who wants to be a critically-acclaimed author recognized in academic and literary circles. While finishing her degree, she has created Candy Sloane, erotic romance writer, to help pay the bills. The only problem is that if the university discovers her alter ego, there could be a fall out.  Throw in a good-looking professor, a sassy, say-what-she-thinks roomie, and  a sexy-as-anything male student and you have a recipe for Candy's potential unraveling.I felt the dialogue and character development was very sweet and enjoyable throughout the story. Candice is fighting to accept who she is, gain acceptance by others for what she really wants to do, and find her place in academia and the erotic romance world. I enjoyed being along on her journey until there was this one point that I thought didn't work for me. I can't describe it without spoilers, but I felt like the book lost me at that point. Otherwise, it had it's funny, hot, romantic moments that kept me involved.Overall, I appreciated the story of Candice/Candy, James, Mandy and Professor Dylan and the idea of finding your true calling and being true to yourself while also being open to romance.
