*ARC provided by the publisher in return for an honest review*Sneaking Candy, the title can be misleading, it would probably make you think of a naughty erotica story. Well there was some naughty bits delving on the erotica but Sneaking Candy is more about a confused young woman trying to get her mojo back and finding out if she's really cut out to be a serious literary author. Never mind that she's actually an up and coming self published erotica writer with lots of fans and some great 5 star reviews (the one star ones don't really count). It also doesn't help that she feels some sort of attraction to her professor but what about her favorite barista who can't make a decent Chai latte but can just about melt her panties off with just a look? Her life is just about to get more interesting. This was a fun, extremely sexy and engaging contemporary romance. I love the character of Candace aka Candy. I love how self-aware she is and that her lack of self-confidence is the culprit in the many chances she hasn't taken in life. The writing was excellent, the pacing just right with dialogues that just zing and is funny and witty. Being more character driven rather than plot driven, there was a part in the book that the story wasn't really moving forward and felt like it stalled. But it did pick up a bit and had an interesting twist right at the end. Fans of romantic comedy would definitely love this one.
