by Sarah Reads - 7:30 AM

Title: Candy Boys

Author : Jo Raven

Genre : MMF

Joel and Jethro. Roommates. Total hunks. Inseparable friends. Hot as hell.

Meet my fantasy boyfriends. Aren’t they just the sexiest, cutest thing? I know, right? They totally are. They are hot, too hot for a quiet—and obsessed with them—girl working in a bookshop.
That’d be me, by the way.

There’s also the tiny problem of Joel wanting another girl. And as for Jethro, well… he doesn’t do girls. Or maybe he doesn’t do relationships. He certainly doesn’t do boys, so he isn’t doing his best and very male friend… right? Much less his male friend and me at the same time.

So it’s fine to crush on them. And write a serial story on my blog in which we have tantric sex in every possible position.
All three of us. Together. Touching, and licking, and sucking, and screwing.
Whew.

I mean, it’s okay. It’s perfectly safe. They’ll never even know I exist, much less find out about my blog and my secret fantasy about them.
Right?

...Yeah, that’s what I thought, too.

Warning: This book contains two super-hot boys and a nerdy, funny girl who has the hots for them. It includes boy on boy fun, and girl on boy, and boy on girl, and girl on boy on boy, and, well, you get the picture.

Warning 2: This book may set you on fire. Handle with caution.

Warning 3: This book is funny, and dark, and angsty. It is NOT a love triangle. It is a relationship between three people with a happy ending.

Talk about devouring a book in one sitting. I started this book mid-day and did not put it down once. It was all consuming and I loved every moment of it. It was just what I needed to get my reading groove going again.

This is the first book I have read by Jo Raven and it most certainly will not be my last. I loved her writing style. The way her characters worlds came to life as I read was fantastic. I cannot tell you how many times I laughed out loud at her leading lady's comments or what just happened to her.

There are so many words I could describe this book but HOT, SEXY, FUNNY, and MYSTERIOUS are at the top of my list. I swear my kindle is one big highlighted mess. Jo Raven really knows how to keep her readers engaged and at times squirming.

The leading lady in this book is Candace aka Candy. She is one saucy little book nerd who works in a bookstore. In her free time, she writes a story on her blog about two men who she cannot get out of her head. And boy does she have an elaborate imagination when it comes to writing about her crushes. That is until she bumps into them and the turn her world upside down in the most delicious way. Her first meetings with both of them had me snorting. Poor girl could not get out a normal sentence to save her life.

Joel Kingsley aka J-one in Candy’s fantasy is every woman’s dream man. He is drop dead gorgeous, driven, a great athlete, what else is there to love. The only issue is that he is hiding something he would prefer no woman would ever find out. I really enjoyed Joel’s character. He wasn’t mister perfect. He had his own issues and that really pulled me in.

Jethro Connors aka J-two is a mythical creature in Candy’s eyes. She knows he is drop dead gorgeous, has tattoos, is Joel's best friend and roommate. She just does not know much more than that until she meets him. I chuckled at their first encounter. He charmed her and she was her goofy self. He picked up on her sweet concerned side quickly. He needed to know more about her.

Both leading men in this story have a past. Jethro’s past is what haunts him daily and I really needed to know what happened to him. Jethro’s character is very complex. I loved getting to know all the different sides to Jet from the loving sweet to the dark and brooding, to the scared little boy he truly was deep down. He needed love and understanding from both Joel and Candy. The way it played out was beautiful.

The ending of this book was perfect. All the webs came to a head, we found out what went on and it ended just the way I wanted it to. So this girl is quite the happy camper.

If you are looking for a book to keep you guessing, laughing and squirming all at the same time this book is definitely for you.

“Jet, we need to talk.”

“Screw talking.” He moans in my mouth, the vibrations traveling from his broad chest to my body, making me clench with need.

“Jet…”

“You want me,” he whispers. “Say it.”

“I want you,” I whisper, and he moans again.

“Oh yeah. Tell me what turns you on. What your fantasy is.”

Holy crap.

“That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.” I lick his lips, inviting him to kiss me again, to stop my confession, but it’s not enough to stop the words. “I want you, Jet. And Joel. I want what you want, and I can’t…”

Jet’s breath hitches, his lashes sweeping low on his cheeks. “Can’t what?”

“Can’t choose between you. Don’t you see?” The truth is finally out. It was choking me all this time. My eyes sting, because I know he’ll push me away any second now. “I’m sorry. I should have said it from the start. I should—”

“What exactly are you saying, Sugar Pop?” He drops back on the sofa, brows knitted. “Are you walking away?”

“No. You have no idea…” I shake my head, my cheeks on fire, my heart thudding heavily in my chest. “I want you both. Here. At the same time. With me. God, I can’t believe I told you.”

He licks his lips, his eyes so dark. “Say it again, sugar.” He lifts a hand to my face, draws me down to him. “Say it again.”

“I want the two of you, with me.”

“Fuck, you have any clue what you’re doing to me? What you just said…” His gaze is full of wonder, wide and hot. His hands move down my back, finding bare skin under my blouse, scorching brands. “Come here.”

He pulls and tugs until I’m fully seated on his lap, his hard cock pressing sideways against my inner thigh.

I brace my hands on his shoulders, gripping the thick muscles there as he kisses me deeply, so hard my lips hurt. His stubble scrapes over my chin.

It’s hot. He’s so frigging hot, I can’t even think, can’t do anything but fall into the kiss.

Then a low male voice says from behind him, “Harder, Jet.”

I jolt with shock. Jethro’s hands grab my waist, fingertips digging deep.

A shadow falls over us. Someone comes to stand behind the couch and slides a hand into Jethro’s wild hair. Familiar blue eyes dart from my face to his.

“Joel?” Jethro’s voice hitches. “Didn’t know you were here. J, listen—”

“Kiss her harder.” His hand slips down Jethro’s face to his jaw, and he leans down to whisper close to his ear, “I wanna watch.”
