As always Ms. Parkes delivers believable characters that could be people you'd meet on the street, in a wonderful setting that just screams romance. What could be better than a beautiful hotel near the beach?

One of the things I always love about Ms. Parkes' novels is I can picture myself in the same situation; a lonely everywoman who meets the right guy in the right circumstances. Do I act? Do I not? All the things you would think about in a similar situation come into play in Candy Hearts. Add some steam, a little conflict, mix well and viola you have a story and yet another couple to remember.

A sweet short story!

Elodie knows how to bring the characters to life. The feelings that is brought to you is believable. What's nice is that the story has no darkness. Which seems to be the case in most these days. It was light, refreshing and with the right amount of Erotica. I recommend this for anyone looking for a short read.

I really enjoyed this sexy, yet sweet romance about two lonely people. The lovers are believable characters that anyone can relate to, and the author has a style and voice that really pulled me in. The romantic setting was a plus—I’m a beach person. What could be better? I look forward to reading more from Elodie Parkes.

Elodie Parkes has done it again with this quick read, combining sweet romance and sizzling sex. Tom is lonely and finally works up the nerve to ask Serena out on a date, but she is hiding something. Will it end this budding romance?

What a wonderful story. Tom wants to be loved. He meets a girl and knows right off that she is the one for him - but they both have secrets. This is a great Valentine's story and a definite must read. Ms Parkes has done it again.

Elodie Parkes is a storyteller. She brings characters to live is a way that is romantic, sexy and believable. In Candy Hearts we find two lonely people who are vulnerable, yet strong enough to admit they need each other. A sweet, sexy read.
