Sweeter Than Candy

by April Cross, Rose Richards

She's a delicious treat, who's about to be devoured.
It's just another shift at the diner—until I'm the lucky server chosen to work a private party. When the wealthy, older customer makes me an irresistible offer, I find myself saying yes to a celebration I know I'll never forget.
Now I'm in for the ride of my life with not one, but two tempting, experienced men. They're eager to give me a taste of their world - one that will leave me breathless and begging for more.

Sweeter Than Candy is a standalone scorching short story featuring two dominant older men, a younger woman's first time, and baby making talk during a night of unrestrained passion. It's a wild ride filled with sizzling heat, light power exchange, and a touch of romantic sweetness wrapped up in a filthy package.

About the author

Writer of spicy stories... okay, I'll be honest, most of my stuff is ghost pepper spicy. I started writing short alien erotic romances and moved into contemporary sharing stories, before branching out with April Cross to give a home for my longer contemporary erotic romances. I prefer to write erotic romances that have an element of power play with guys who like to be in control.

Candy meets Garrett while waitressing for his birthday. Garrett propositions her then and there in the restaurant's private room- pops her cherry.
They meet up again and this time Garrett's friend Eric joins in the fun and they go at it like rabbits. All over the house and in all her holes 🥵
Candy quickly moves in and they become a throuple.

Candy has been dreaming of a sexy, older, British man and craving his touch, so when she meets him at the diner she works at, she’s stunned. Garrett is there with friends celebrating his birthday and Candy is more than willing to gift him something special — her virginity. He’s so pleased with Candy that he leaves her a large enough tip to pay her rent and his phone number. They arrange a dinner date the next night and he advises her that a friend of his would like a taste and she happily agrees. Turns out Eric can’t get enough of Candy either. Could the three have a future beyond that night?

I really enjoyed this story. Candy was carefree and confident and the men sexy and dominant. They alternated between praise for their “good girl” and degradation for their “toy.” Those scenes were 🥵🔥. I liked that after their blazing hot sexy times, they made aftercare a priority, something that’s often missed in stories with d/s vibes. And I loved the epilogue.

Highly recommend to anyone who enjoys MFM stories.

A thoroughly enjoyable read, Little Candy was well and truly satisfied by her two older Gents

April Cross and Rose Richards most definitely can write amazing quick story. The spicy romance was exactly that and nothing what I thought it was gonna be. I love reading these books because they are nothing what I would do in life or in my past life I mean.

Another book that did not disappoint.
The heat is almost there from the beginning and runs throughout.
Super quick read about about Candy and how she loses her virginity and experiences a ménage all in one.

The book was fast paced and enjoyable. There was minimal background on the characters. But the scenes were complete and there was enough detail for the imagination.

Candy has been dreaming about giving her V-card to a British-accented guy and is seriously distracted at work by her sexual fantasies. When she’s asked to serve at a private birthday party, she can’t believe it when she literally meets the man of her dreams, Garrett. She’s feeling confident in her body, and ready for her first time, so when Garrett requests something which isn’t on the menu, she’s more than up for it, even with two of Garrett’s friends watching. Wanting more time with him, Candy agrees to dinner with Garrett, but this comes with an extra course in the form of Eric. Will everyone’s appetites be satisfied? This is a short read filled with explicit entrée, main and dessert courses which will have you feeling hot, steamy and satisfied.

Candy is a waitress in a local diner, trying to make ends meet, when a group of three men comes in, they're celebrating a birthday in the private back room. She walks in and locks eyes with the birthday boy Garrett, he is older, British and ridiculously sexy. She has never felt desire like that before, and when he propositions her, she hesitates for a second before agreeing. Does she really want to lose her innocence this way? in the back room of a diner with a complete stranger, and will one time with him be enough? Great story, just wish it was longer and more detailed.

Our heroine was not expecting the offer she received from our two heroes, but she decided she was willing to give it a try. The results exceeded her expectations and definitely gave her something to look into in the future.

This is an erotic short story featuring multiple partners and an age gap. The story is well written and easy to read with a fun cast of characters. We get an opportunity to watch our heroine experience something new which turns out to be a lot of fun. I enjoyed watching all the steamy fun that resulted. Overall, an entertaining story and I look forward to more.

Highly recommended.

Party Flavor

I had read and loved the first chapter before. Getting to read more, while absolutely fabulous, left me wanting, correction, needing more. Thankfully, I have a very active imagination that has runneth over. Still, we're April and Rose to continue this storyline, I certainly wouldn't complain. 😘💙💐

Candy gets, or rather becomes, quite the treat when she serves at Garrett's private party. Holy cannoli! 🔥🥵🔥

“Oh, and one more thing. My friend will be joining us. You don’t have a problem with that, do you? Sharing is caring, after all.”
-- Garrett

I love how things get even hotter as the story progresses and Eric joins the party. It all ends in a VERY nice HFN.

Candy gets more than just her v-card taken in this novella. While waitressing a small dinner party she encounters three men one of which is her dream daddy. Once she's propositioned by the birthday boy, the night gets interesting quickly. The storyline is easy to read with fun and kinky characters. There is voyeurism, public sex, dirty talk, and a healthy dose of Daddy and Breeding kink thrown in. This quick age gap story is fun and steamy.

Thanks to Booksprout and the authors for an ARC of this book. I have chosen to write this honest review voluntarily and it reflects my personal opinion.
Candy's character is described well: a young woman with a job to provide life's basics, happy-go-lucky, and no serious relationships so she is still a virgin. Garrett and Eric are experienced older men, and as they meet in Candy's workplace the sparks fly! A short, hot read with satisfaction guaranteed for Candy.

[James · Rating 5 out of 5]

First she loses her V-card to the silver fox of her dreams. Then she finds herself receiving some very focused attention by two dirty daddies. Could Candy’s life get any better. (Just a hint—yes!)

April Cross and Rose Richard are two authors that always sit in the top echelon of my spicy reads list, but combining the two is positively next level. I can see the influence of each writer, but they were definitely of one mind on this story. So good!.

This is an entertaining short story that is Candy’s dream come true. Garrett and Eric like to dominate her, and she is receptive to their desires. Their passion also develops into a caring relationship for all of them to enjoy and experience together. This is a steamy and sweet book that I enjoyed reading. Highly recommend.

This is a short happy for now story but is full of hot steamy fun. I think there's potential here for longer form so that we get to know more about the characters, especially the men. But if you're looking for a quick MFM read, this is for you.

Candy is frustrated, but perhaps waitressing a birthday party for an older gentleman is going to change all that. This is a quick steamy read with a sweet as Candy girl. I enjoyed this story and look forward to more stories by these authors.

Two Sugar Daddies and One Sweet Girl

Candy’s waitressing at a diner when she meets Garrett and gives him a very happy birthday present. This short story is filthy and filled with age gap taboo goodness - I loved it. Plus, the addition of Eric to the dynamic really kicked things up a notch. A red hot quick read.

They always say, two is better than one; Candy is innocent as they come and while working one night, she meets not one but two men who are willing to help her get rid of that innocence.

This fun romp of desire is just what Candy has been dreaming of. She’s dreamed of a hot British guy and here he is along with a friend. Both of the guys want to give her everything.

[Merlynn · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book would have been better if it focused less on Candy losing her virginity and more on her first threesome. While both happen at once this feels like it's written for men with the focus being on her virginity. If you can ignore that it's ok.

[Eli · Rating 3 out of 5]

Fast read

For me this was too fast, right into business. No backstory the characters were right away horny and there was no story. Otherwise it was hot and easy read but not really my type of a book.

Very heated for a short story

The flow of the story from beginning to end keeps the readers enthralled. There's shock, heat and an awesome ending.

Just know going in this is 100% smut and 0% plot. It was a fun short spicy read. I enjoyed it for what it was.
