Man Candy by Amanda Young

So, reading the title, I was especting a novel about beautiful men with gourgeous bodies... And instead you have an ultraromantic story that happen to be M/M.

Aaron is a shy man, short, skinny and a little geeky. He works to pay is education and now he has graduated and has a new job and has to say to his previous boss that he will go with the end of the week. No problem that that he is deeply in love with his boss. And he has never in four years admit his feeling to him. Cause Logan, his boss, is a straight married man.

Aaron has choosen the wrong brother, cause instead Jack, the Logan's identical twin, is gay and lately he has also made some move on Aaron. So when Jack suddently kiss him and Aaron give him an entusiastic blow job, everything seem all right, but a little particular: is not Jack who receives a blowjob, is Logan, is straight married boss... isn't he? Married? Straight?

This is a short story with some point I like very much in my stories: the geek who falls in love with the handsome man, the old fashined cliche of the boss with the personal assistant... in short I like it, but... I would like to read more about Logan: how a straight man arrives to share an hot sex session with a gay man? what happen next? and Jack?

Candy Man by Amanda Young

This is one very sexy scene. No more than that. But, hey, sometime you need only this.

Aaron and Logan from Man Candy are back for a Halloween Night. Aaron, red head and geeky, and Logan, sturdy and storng, are bored to give candy to the kids, and decide to give candy to each other. Better if the chocolate is eaten on the body of pale and lean Aaron.

Brief, sexy and enjoyable. Better if read after Man Candy, cause the characters in this brief story are not fully describe, and I remember they are pretty interesting.

Eye Candy by Amanda Young

What happens when the villain of a story becomes the main character of another story?

Actually Jake is not a very villain, but he is for sure a bad boy; in Man Candy he is the bad twin, the one who searches only easy sex without commitment, and instead his twin brother Logan is the one who conquers and wins Aaron's heart.

Now in Eye Candy we have the chance to know some of the reasons behind Jake's behaviour, how he was betrayed by his first and young lover Kane when he was sixteen years old, and how he has chosen long ago to give up to love, preferring heartless sex. But now Kane is back in town, and all the old feelings are still there. Only that Jake has spent too many year behaving like a don juan, and Kane is not willing to accept a quick fuck, he wants all or nothing.

It's strange to see how Kane, who was the first to do wrong, now arrogates himself the right to judge Jake's behaviour. But it is also tender to see Kane's son, tries to matchmake his dad with his first love, giving Jake all the reasons to prove that Kane has loved only Jake in all those years.

Eye Candy is a simple and smooth book, enjoyable and with a good mix of sweet and sex. Maybe the end arrives a bit in a hurry, I'd like to read a bit more on Jake and Kane re-blossoming relationship, and also Jake interactions with Brock, Kane's son. Maybe Amanda Young shold think to write more on these two characters.
