To me this book suffered an identity crisis not sure if it was meant to be serious or OTT ridiculous. One minute Candy's mum is asking her advice on vibrating butt plugs then in the next Joel was struggling with life altering decisions and it was all serious.

I love both serious genre's and ridiculous ones but for me they don't mix well, I have read a few good ones, the writing has to be fantastic to make it work and this one just didn't get there. If she had stuck with the ridiculous and funny stuff I think it would have worked better.

What spoilt this book and the first for me was this threesome felt like a twosome, Jethro and Joel with the third wheel being Candy. Even while all three were having sex it was all about the two guys getting off by feeling each other, just made me feel sorry for Candy.

But Candy was all like:

And didn't seem to mind being the third wheel at all ;)

For me this was more an addition to the first book rather than a HEA, the way it wrapped up left things wide open. If you enjoyed the first book I am sure you will like this little addition :)
