Man Candy, A Real Love Novel, Jessica Lemmon

Review from Jeannie Zelos book reviews

Genre: Humour, romance

A quick fun read this, packed with some terrific humour.

I adored Dax, a real Gentleman in every sense. He was incredibly patient with Becca, when she was so changeable it was hard to keep up. I loved the way he ran his businesses, trusted his friends, made his life and lifestyle sync seamlessly. He's on a short break, and the weather is - well, frankly, just dire. Does he moan, complain, whinge about how unfair it is? Nope, just gets on with what he can in his own steady way. 
Becca annoyed me a bit, well, quite a lot actually.
We first meet her when she's late for work. Work at a job her brother has given her, the same brother that's letting her life with his family as she has nowhere else. You'd think she'd make the effort to at least be on time, but it seems lateness and Becca run hand in hand. So yes, she did get the work done, she was good at what she did but - he's running a business, and she should respect that. Seems for her its always somebody else' fault.
I didn't really understand why she was so hot-cold-hot with Dax either, she doesn't know what he wants, but she doesn't know what she wants either, and the poor guy is supposed to just guess? 

Still, there were some seriously sensual scenes between them and some fantastic humour which kept the novel up for me. 

Stars: three and a half, a fun read, but not a re-reader for me.

Interesting and entertaining story that kept me guessing as to what would happen next. When I can read a book and wonder what might happen, what the characters and thinking and what has happened in their life to define their actions then it's usually a hit with me. Man Candy was exactly that.

Dax is definitely sexy Man Candy but also shows a sweet, sincere and loving side. Being burned can char you but it doesn't have to incinerate you. Dax has been burned but he still is open to the possibilities that meeting Becca while vacationing in the woods for two weeks. Becca comes off as scattered, ditsy or lackadaisical. but that's a facade she presents after being constantly barraged by the negativity and lack of support from her brother who is her current boss and landlord. Becca is full of self-doubt. and on a constant quest to fill a void she feels in herself. Encountering Dax in the resort bar, Becca's instant attraction leads her on a two-week fling with a man who unearths things she tries to hide and challenges her in ways she has never been challeneged before.

These two have such a sweet and sexy relationship that you immediately want them to have more, well have everything. Dax is a strong and self sufficient man and see that Becca needs a gentle touch so as to not scare her away. When things start to get real Becca again, as usual wants to bolt. Calming her fears, Dax hands over the reigns of their relationship and lets Becca take the lead to do as she wishes. Becca flourishes with the attention and praise and belief in herself that Dax gives her, but she always has the doubt and devil in her ear telling her how aloof she is and reaffirming that self-doubt.

Dax is such a great book boyfriend and to see him leave the resort after two weeks was heartbreaking. What is Becca thinking! But if you love something you set it free - are Dax and Becca meant to be? What a great ending and amazing epilogue!

4 stars.
One night stand turned into 2 week fling?, then eventual perfect happy ending.
Dax and Becca's story was an emotional read for me. This book just had lots of complexity to it.
It was witty, very sexy and I wanted to keep on reading, page after page. I really enjoyed how this book was written as well as the storyline. I also liked how the connection continued to blossom between the MC's despite Becca's attempts to try and keep Dax at arms length, therefore avoiding any deep emotional attachment or commitment.

Absolutely loved this book and found myself smiling frequently while reading.
This is the third book in the "Real Love" series and each book has eclipsed the last.
If there is a book four. I will have very high expectations for it indeed.

Dax was great! Becca was flakey! I enjoyed this story but in the end, all I could think about was whether Becca could actually settle down and be happy long term. I wasn't convinced she was capable but it was a cute story regardless.

Dax is on vacation staying at a cabin campground and looking forward to some alone time. Becca's a free spirit who doesn't want to settle down in one place or with one person.. She's working for the campground owner, her brother, for now but isn't sure what she's going to do next. One look at Dax, sitting at the bar in the campground restaurant, and it's lust at first sight. A one night stand turns into weeks of red hot passion and Dax and Becca have to decide where they go from here. I loved this book!
