Wow!!
A funny, sexy, romantic comedy that has me wanting more. It's a short story but in typical Skye fashion, it does not lack in quality or amazing details.

Short and Steamy Anti-Valentine's Day Romance
"You, my dear, have Gucci taste on a Target budget!”
This was a short but really cute, funny and steamy read. Perfect for when you want to read something but don't have a lot of time to really dive into a more lengthier book.
Charlie and Candi meet because Charlie's friend wants his help on a Valentine's Day surprise to his girl, who happens to be Candi's cousin. Candi's at the house under the pretense that she's hanging out with her cousin. Both Candi and Charlie hate Valentine's Day because they're just attracted to the wrong type of people... until they meet each other.
I do wish it was longer, to confirm my suspicions on the other couple, and to see whether Charlie and Candi stayed together after, but the story served it's purpose regardless.

I went into this story expecting a fun, humorous read, but it ultimately fell short. The writing felt clumsy and inexperienced, and the humor was nonexistent. Although the premise had potential, it was weighed down by awkward scene descriptions and distracting, rambling inner thoughts from the characters. I struggled to understand what other readers found enjoyable, as the story failed to hold my interest. Overall, I wouldn’t recommend this one, even for a quick read.

Sexy Fun
Reminds me of those times when I was a bit younger when I said What the he!! and just rolled with what felt good. It was sexy and a bit spicy =) it was a quick read which was awesome because I read it on a plane ride. It left me wanting more, I hope that at some point Skye decides to write more about C and C's what's next.

A short quick, hot Valentine's story. Charlie is drowning his sorrows at his friend's house after a break up on Valentine's Day. His friend Trent girlfriend is coming over and is bringing her cousin Candi with her. There is an instant connection. Enjoyable read if your looking for a quick read.

Two stars
This is the first time I've read this author and I was a little disappointed. I felt this story was immature and I felt it was more high school or collage not adults acting like they did in this story

Really a 3.5
Cute, quick read. Charlie was an amusing mess but Candi was a bit wishy washy.
I was not a fan of all the italics or the over use of ‘bougie’ and I could never read ‘medium wash jeans’ again.
Otherwise, a good way to dip my toe into Turner’s work.

wow!
That was a quick trip to the “Candi” store. It was a cute quick read. As someone who has lived with roommates before…I really hope the walls were well insulated! That’s something you can’t un-hear!

Hilarious Inner Monologues.
These characters had the best “inside thoughts” and the fact they were real, messy people made the read that much more fun!

Well JEEEEEZE
I wasn’t ready for the hotness but am happy I added this gem to my Valentine's Day reading list. Skye was a genius with Candi rambling monologue.

Be my Valentine!
This was a great quick read! Charlie and Candi really know how to take advantage of being single on Valentines Day.

This is a spicy, yet funny quick read. I’d love to find out what happens from there.
The only problem I had with this… it’s already over.

Short & hot
Sounds like something done back in high school. No real story, just got sex. Would have liked to know what happened afterwards.

Sometimes you find love when you aren't looking.
This is a super quick, super-steamy, Anti-Valentine’s Day romp in which Drunk Cupid gets Candi on Valentine’s Day!

Sweet and Intense 🩷
I really loved this short story. Candi and Charlie are perfect for each other. Their chemistry is off the charts. Neither expecting what happens.
