Sex & Candy #1
The Chocolate Seduction
HE'S SWEET...
Chef Kristoffer "Kit" Rex is hot, pure and simple. But for Sabrina Bliss, he's off-limits. Thanks to a bet with her sister, Sabrina can't sleep with a man for one year...unless she falls in love. With the help of a regular diet of chocolate, though, Sabrina manages to "simulate" the effects of sex without actually having it. Unfortunately, Kit doesn't want to play by the rules....
BUT THE SEX IS SWEETER!
It's agonizing for Kit to see Sabrina every day and not have her. For some reason, she keeps him at arm's length, and he's not ready to settle for that. She obviously loves chocolate -- she eats it every time he comes near her! -- so what better way to seduce her than with the velvety smooth concoction? Although she has incredible willpower, Kit knows Sabrina's ready -- and willing -- for one sweet seduction....

About the author
Carrie Alexander
102 books47 followersThere was never any doubt that Carrie Antilla would have a creative career. As a two-year-old, she imagined dinosaurs on the lawn. By six it was witches in the bedroom closet. Soon she was designing elaborate paper-doll wardrobes and writing stories about Teddy the Bear. Eventually she graduated to short horror stories and oil paints. She was working as an artist and a part-time librarian when she "discovered" her first romance novel and thought, "Hey, I can write one of these!" So she did.
Carrie Alexander is now the author of several books for various Harlequin lines, with many more crowding her imagination, demanding to be written. She has been a RITA and Romantic Times Reviewers' Choice finalist, but finds her greatest reward in becoming friends with her readers, even if it's only for the length of a book.
Carrie lives in the upper peninsula of Michigan, where the long winters still don't give her enough time to significantly reduce her to-be-read mountains of books. When she's not reading or writing (which is rare), she is painting and decorating her own or her friends' houses, watching football, and shoveling snow. She loves to hear from readers, who can contact her by e-mail: carriealexander1@aol.com

What It's About: Sabrina Bliss makes a bet with her sister, Mackenzie. For the span of a year, stable, dependable Mackenzie's supposed to shake up her boring life, while flighty Sabrina is supposed to hold down a steady job and stave off men. With their grandmother's heirloom ring at stake, Sabrina needs to keep Kit Rex, the hot new pastry chef she works with, at arm's length just long enough to win the bet.
What I Liked: 1) Kit. Even I felt sex-starved reading about him. It wasn't just that he was a hunk; he also cared about the people around him and had a strong desire to settle down and start a family. And as the cherry on top, he showed he was patient and more than willing to compromise to keep Sabrina in his life. 2) Sabrina's backstory. I'll admit I wasn't a big fan of hers when the book first started. She seemed flaky, like she was always getting bored with stuff and moving on, and I have no patience for people like that. But then, after getting a glimpse into her wounded psyche, I started to see her in a whole new light. I mean, I'm still not her number one fan, but at least now I understand her better. 3) All that chocolate (and some of the creative uses for it ;) ). 'Nuff said.
What I Didn't Like: 1) The prologue. I don't know what I was expecting, but the prologue just didn't impress me at all. Maybe it was the writing, or maybe it was Sabrina and Mackenzie, but I was about ready to give up before I'd even really begun. Thankfully, it picked right up in the first chapter.
Disclaimers (if any): Standard not-safe-for-kids romance disclaimer.
Overall Verdict: I give it 4 chocolate truffles out of 5.

I have to admit I didn't really like Sabrina all that much, but I loved Kristoffer. And even though the plot was so obviously romancy, I enjoyed it. All the chocolate didn't hurt, either!
