Jolly Rancher
We might be enemies, but I’ll convince her she’s mine by Christmas. Diesel Conrad Amanda says we’re enemies—I call bull. My mind is a bit tangled after my fall, but my gut tells me this woman is mine. Granted, I’ve forgotten some insignificant shit, like my name, but I’m certain of two things. She wants to get naughty with me, and I have the equipment to give her a very merry sleigh ride. Amanda “Messy Mandy” Murphy All I want for Christmas is my winter white vacation, but my twin sister’s grinch of an ex-boyfriend roped me into selling his ranch before Christmas. The arrogant, too gorgeous man is my personal bah humbug. Or at least he was until the accident. Now—he’s convinced I’m his. It’s messy, and I’m going to need a Christmas miracle—fast, because his mistletoe kisses jingle all my bells. *This is an erotic Christmas holiday romance with an alpha cowboy, a walk in the snow, and a lot of sleigh rides (wink, wink). Jolly Rancher contains graphic language and sex.

Amnesia, Messy Mandy gets her story, and with one or two smexy scenes, Jolly Rancher would have been a five steam fan read.

Messy Mandy, lover of Christmas, finds love with a grouchy cowboy and I am here for it! This story was worth the wait. I enjoyed the sexy banter between Mandy and Diesel, as well as the comic relief woven into the fabric of the dialogue. The sex was steamy and right up my alley! Great short and sexy read just in time for Christmas.

2.00 Stars. (BW/WM). Kindle Unlimited Edition 104 page novella e-book. Unlike the Carolina Reaper, this book has no plot and does not depict a couple's journey romantic love; instead, it depicts a couple of horny protagonists looking to hook-up by voicing their bone jumping readiness with incessant barrage of overt sexual banter. The heroine, Amanda "Messy Mandy" Murphy, is a realtor and the hero, Diesel Conrad, is cowboy who has inherited a ranch from his father. Diesel immediately hires Amanda to sell the property. During their efforts to sell the property and find a time and place to hook-up, Diesel and Mandy fall, Diesel bumps his head, suffers a concussion and amnesia. Many many hoop-ups later, Mandy and Diesel become a couple and decide to keep the ranch.

Ugh
Not sure how to explain this book. Messy Mandy and Diesel story, not even sure you could call it a love story, it is a sex story. All they do is talk sex or have sex yet at the end we are supposed to believe they are in love. We have sort of been introduced to her in other books, but what can I say this book may be for others, not me.

I stopped reading, returned a couple of days later to restart. During my restart, I replayed from the beginning three times! What am I missing that other readers are appreciating? I don't even know how to shelve this horrible read. DNF.

I loved this couple
Mandy and Diesel really kept me reading. I loved their back and forth banter. Mandy went toe to toe with everything the grumpy sexy cowboy said. His hiring her as a realtor to sell his father's ranch was what got both of them in trouble when an accident caused Diesel to lose his memory and how contentious their relationship was. He thinks they are in a relationship and they are both falling in love. What will happen when his memory returns? Mandy thinks he will kick her to the curb because she's seen his N2U profile and it says man whore. But to Diesel Mandy is everything he's been missing in life. She's his queen and he's still her Grinchy whom she rides into liking and becoming a Jolly Rancher.
I love the way the author wrote this couple. Diesel was a grumpy sexy cowboy used to having his way with women and Mandy was a sharp-tongued challenge to his ego. She did not just fold to his flirting but he was wearing her down, memory loss, or no memory loss. He knew he was getting to her when he found her with her B.O.B. That was too funny. I'd love to read more about this couple in a future book.

I wondered when we would get to see Messy Mandy and her love affair unfold in the Chronicles. Mandy is indeed A MESS. A HOT MESS! I enjoyed her antics, however. I thought the story between her and Diesal was hilarious and sex-driven and bordering on pornographic. Ms. London has some serious fantasies. Sex on a horse!!! If that doesn't catch your attention and make you want to find out more then nothing will.
The title is a twist. Nasty Mandy did some strange things with a JOLLY RANCHER candy to make Diesal a JOLLY RANCHER!! I loved that.
I enjoyed the back and forth between the two main characters. Strangely, my mind goes off in the forest, and wonder about the other characters. I wanted to know a little background information about Race and his wife. Another character I enjoy seeing is the feisty granny. I wanted more from Amanda's grandmother.
I highly recommend this book. It was a delight to read.

I love this series of short and sexy stories! This one is a perfect blend of romance, heat and holiday spirit. Amanda is a top realtor. Diesel wants her to sale his father's property. The chemistry between these 2 is electric. They would appear to be opposites - Amanda is a bright and bubbly professional, Diesel is a grumpy and to-the-point cowboy. She is dripping with Christmas cheer, he is a Grinch. They are drawn to each other physically, their verbal banter is witty and hilarious but Amanda refuses to date someone who went out with her sister. Diesel is determined to change her mind. This enemies-to-lovers romance starts with tension that gets taken up a notch with every page! I love it! It has dual POV, highly descriptive details, flirty dialogue, emotional moments and passionate interludes. Perfect - short, sweet, heated, humorous entertainment! 5 stars

A MUST READ FOR A JOLLY GOOD TIME!!!
This story about Messy Mandy is a definite must read for this holiday season. This story was very entertaining right from the beginning to the very end. The one liners, zingers and comebacks were pure comedic genius. They had me laughing non-stop, both Mandy and Diesel were so perfectly matched with their opposite personalities. The Grinch as Mandy so aptly names Diesel really doesn't like the world no and with Mandy telling him no well you can just imagine what these two get up book but don't just take my word for it read this story to find out for yourselves. Big mama and all the other characters were just as entertaining as well especially the caretakers of Diesel's inherited ranch the wife will be my personal favorite. Highly recommend this book you will not be disappointed!!!

The jolly cowboy lassoed Mandy right in
This is a public service announcement. Forget the lights on the tree this year. All you need to light up your Christmas is the Jolly Rancher and Santa's naughty list because Diesel and Mandy have the electricity crackling.
When Diesel decided Mandy was his there was nothing that was going to change his mind. Even amnesia. Mandy knew she had her match in the grinch, and she turned the grinchy cowboy into a jolly rancher just by being her naughty self. Forget about the lump of coal. Spankings are coming in Mandy's stocking this year.
Can't wait to see what trouble they get into on the ranch in season four. Long live the lunchtime chronicles.

More lunchtime chronicles antics, this time with eternal enemies Amanda 'Messy Mandy' Murphy and cowboy Diesel Conrad. This one was a laugh a minute and had me grinning from ear to ear. A minor accident causes Diesel to temporarily lose his memory - to a point. He thinks he and Amanda are an item. This is a new Diesel. The man she knows hates commitment but she goes along with it because well, she wants him or so says her lady bits and the sex is unbelievable. So far, so good. But what happens when he gets his memory back? Will he still want her then?
This was hilarious, spicy and a real treat. I loved it!.

Awesomsauce Read
This is DEFINITELY a hot, spicy and sexy “Jolly Rancher” read.
Mandy and Diesel are so spankingly wonderful together. But my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE is Big Momma. Read it and you’ll see why.
The entire Lunchtime Chronicles Collection is an epic series of adventure and drama. And it’s great way to spend lunch/dinner break.
I hope that there will be more Chronicles in the future. At least for Big Momma and some other Grown People crew. lol...

I will never have another Jolly Rancher again without thinking of this book.
Standalone with no cliffhangers.
Diesel is a grumpy man who has been let down in the past and raised to understand that nothing is forever. Now all he wants is to sell his fathers ranch and move on.
Then he falls, now all he wants is Amanda.
Amanda has a rule, never touch where your sister has been. She is having a hard time when it comes to her "Grinchy" man.
What happens when he remembers that they are not a couple?
This book has the banter, heat, and the romance.

This is not a love story, it's more of a hook up story that ends up that way. There's a lot of dirty talk, descriptions of various parts of anatomy but the story just seemed on repeat; something to fill the spaces when they weren't in bed or trying to get there. There is an HEA and and epilogue, the tale told from both POV and each has a distinct personality. Overall it was okay, but I think I'm done with this series as a whole.

Save the Best for Last
Talk about last but not least! Ms. London really put her foot it this sizzling sensual tale about our own Messy Mandy. The author’s deft touch immediately sweeps us into the characters, setting, and plot! I’m awed at how she coaxes us into caring about this unconventional yet swiftly irresistible couple. Steamy, sentimental and at turns shocking, there is never a boring moment in this tale!

I Liked Diesel and Amanda
I've read so many of the LTCs some of the names are familiar. This story was pretty good, I probably missed something, but the beginning didn't tell me what. I knew who Messy Mandy was, but didn't remember her life as a person (I hope you understand that).
I liked how this couple came together. I'm glad they'll stay together. That jolly rancher thing - while good in a book, let me know outside of a book, I'm a prude - lol & smh

Funny & sexy, my kind of combo...
Loved this sassy, witty & oh so sexy read. Well written, kept me invested & my husband irritated when I giggled or laughed out loud on repeat. Maybe because it was set at Christmas I found it charming but I dare you not to lol when the housekeepers kicked the owner & his delightful estate agent out of their bedroom! I'm still smiling! I received an arc & this is my honest & voluntary review.

IDK
I think I was expecting a little more heat and less banter but it is Mandy so, I guess that’s a given. Oddly enough I don’t really care for Mandy, I know she’s the lunchtime glue but I don’t think I’ve liked her since…ugh I can’t think of the book title. It’s the one with the best friends and the guy is a movie star. Anyways I love this series and I’ve only skipped one book so on to the next!!

Mandy and Diesel could not be any different if hey tried. She is rainbows and unicorns, he is thunder storms and ogres. When Diesel hires Mandy to sell his father's place, firework explode and the banter between the character will pull you in. This story has the right amount of everything to have you lost in the pages.

Lunchtime chronicles season 3 was amazing! If you have not read this series, seasons 1-3, you are missing out. This collection of writers are amazing on their own! Together they have brought seriously hot and fun quick love stories to life.
