Product Description

What do you do if you've been married to a man for half your life and out of nowhere he leaves your bed – permanently? When this happens to Jeanie, she's furious and hurt, and determined to confront George, her husband of thirty years. Is he in love with someone else? What did she do wrong? He won't tell her.

The brightest day of her week is Thursday, the day Jeanie takes her granddaughter to the park. There, one day, she meets Ray and his grandson. Ray is kind, easy to talk to, and gorgeous – everything George isn't. She starts to live for Thursdays. But does she have the courage, in the teeth of opposition from all sides, to turn her life upside down for another shot at love?

My Thoughts:

At the beginning I thought this book was going to be interesting, 10 years of no sex, he just ups and leaves the bed one night with no explanation. Then the book seems to drag on, I wanted to know why but the story takes forever to move on, just seems to waffle on with itself.
Just really didn't get a feel for it, It just didn't seem the way real people would act in that situation. The book did pick up towards the end and I liked the ending, just didn't seem worth the effort of reading.
Its not a horrible book, didn't take long to read, the writing is fine. For 20p I can't really complain too much.

1.5/5

Product Description

On the verge of losing her candy store, Callie Moore decides to blot out her troubles with a tall, dark, handsome stranger. Derek McNear isn't about to turn down a cute, curvy woman at his best friend's wedding reception. But the next day, when Callie discovers that Derek is the consultant she has hired to save her store, they find it difficult to concentrate on business...

CANDY STORE, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Bella Andre, is a 25,000 word / 150 page sexy contemporary romance novella.

My Thoughts:

This is an easy read, you know what's going to happen. There is a lot of sex in this book, all they seem to do is have sex which means there isn't much of a story.
Normally you have two people meet fall totally in love they forget to breath around each other, some sort of misunderstanding happens, they fall out, have it out (or find out from others) realize the mistake and all is well. The misunderstanding here last 2 seconds might as well not of been there at all, its OK...its A short story so its not like it took up much of my time. I've read worse, it fine for what it is just don't expect too much of a story behind the sex (which I thought was written well).
