Lucas Squires
is often troubled. Dreaming of his past, he craves the touch of the
one woman who can make him forget who he is and what his life was
like before becoming the owner of Coffee Breaks. Alas, work is his
salvation and after a tiring workout to force away the nightly
dreams, Lucas heads to the shower and then to the grand opening of a
new store.
Candy Logan’s
entire life revolves around work and schedules. The product of an
erratic childhood, she has a hard time relenting control for spur of
the moment activities. She has been trying for the past month to
contact the elusive owner of Coffee Breaks to no avail. Deciding to
try and find him personally instead of through email and phone
calls, she grabs the address of his new store location and heads
that way never knowing that her scheduled and detailed life is about
to change.
At the new
Coffee Breaks opening, Lucas and Candy make eye contact and the
result is almost combustible. Neither knows who the other is, and
that makes their coming together all the more beautiful. That is,
until they find out who each is and both have to come to grips with
their feelings, tentatively trying to work on a relationship. There
is just one problem; neither trusts very easily and the one thing
both are looking for just might be lost if they don’t learn.
Craving
Candy by N. J.
Walters is the fourth book of her Awakening Desires series and it
focuses on the Lucas, Katie’s boss from book one. Candy is the
publicist hired to promote Lucas and his new cookbook. Lucas wants
no part of it, rightly so considering his past, but I loved how he
slowly began to trust in Candy. Candy. What a tortured soul she
seemed to be. Everything she felt and wanted was tied into her
past life and hurts and I just wanted to shake her at first and then
hug her until she capitulated and realized that Lucas was the man
for her. Together, they made me blush and reach for a fan.
Craving
Candy is poignant,
sexy as all get out, and I am completly love with Lucas. It is the
perfect story for Lucas and N. J. Walters has another winner on her
hands. I have no choice but to proudly and joyfully recommend
Craving Candy!
