[Cocktails and Books · Rating 4 out of 5]

I read Penny Candy first, thinking Hard Candy was going to be a sequel to the book. WRONG! Hard Candy is Penny Candy with additional story elements (mainly Penny and Craig's relationship with Mack).

This said, I enjoyed the added element of the relationship between Mack, Penny and Craig. Mack and Craig had 2 times given into their attraction to each other. The last time left both Craig and Mack confused. While Craig has moved on with his feelings for Penny, he still harbors feelings for Mack. Mack realizes he's in love with Craig but thinks he's too late because of the burgeoning relationship with Penny. What neither of them realize is that Penny had dabbled with two men and is interested in trying a menage relationship with these two men she has strong feelings for.

The menage is somewhat light, compared to what I've read before, but this story is much more focused on the emotional elements of having such a relationship than the sex itself.

Another great way to spend an hour on a Saturday.

I wasn't expecting much with this book. I got it more out of curiosity than anything else and my expectations were low, very low. I was surprised to find a story with believable characters, actual relationships and hot sex.

This is one of the better short erotic stories I have read.

WTF. Sorry but u created a book then created another with the same story line in essence to just change the way thing played out. What to just get more money from the reader. Wouldn't waste my time reading this one

guess next time I should read what type of book it is before I purchase. It was OK but not very entertaining.

I liked Hard Candy better than Penny Candy. But that is probably because I like my reads a little on the extra hot side.
