The story could have been developed much more with the daughter's reaction to Davis getting intimate with her counselor. Overall it was entertaining.Book Review: Delivers what its title promises--a sweet and satisfyingly decadent treat
Summary: 4 Stars
Davis Strong is the single white father of a biracial daughter who is starting to get in trouble at school. When Davis's wife died, she asked him to ensure that their daughter had a positive black female influence in her life, and Davis begins to suspect that finding someone to fit the bill might help with his daughter's disruptive behavior. The problem is that the only woman he knows who fits the bill, the new director of the youth center that is his Aunt Mildred's pet project, is completely unsuitable. Candy Cain is unconventional with her penchant for wearing fabric wrapped around her body instead of proper clothes, her seeming indifference to what other people think, and her stubborn refusal to conform to social norms despite her position of power influencing youth. And Davis finds himself completely enamored of her, to the point where he wakes up hot and sweaty with images of Candy on his mind.
Candy Cain also has trouble sleeping, but her thoughts are plagued by the father of one of her students. Candy's sexual attraction to Davis Strong is a distraction that she doesn't need, but when he asks her to help his daughter, Candy can't refuse. Candy has experienced firsthand what it's like to grow up without a mother and she wants to soothe the wounded feelings that Angelica might have about the issue. It also doesn't hurt that in doing so she'll get a little closer to Davis.
Just Like Candy delivers exactly what its title promises--a sweet and satisfyingly decadent treat. Kimberly Kaye Terry has crafted a story with imperfect characters who you can enjoy because they accept their flawed natures and work to overcome them. Candy is the exact opposite sort of woman that you'd picture a straight-laced guy like Davis to falling for, but it works in the context of this story. And Davis is a good father, a protective lover, and an all-around good guy. Read Just Like Candy when you're in the mood to read a well-written story of interracial romance, where the story isn't just about the color of the characters' skin. But keep a glass of water nearby, because this story is HOT!

Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say I really love Ms. Terry's stories!! I love her books and have read them all. Just Like Candy does not disappoint and loved the characters, which are related to the other stories that she wrote for Ellora's Cave. I love the growth of the IR BW/WM (or other racial background male) romance/erotica genre!! Ten years ago, you wouldn't see any books similar to this in a book store!! Now, they are becoming more popular. I wish there were more IR romance/erotic novels out there. Hopefully there will be in the near future! Keep up the good work Ms. Terry!!
