Eye Candy (Real Love, #1)

by Jessica Lemmon

[kimbacaffeinate]

Told from dual perspectives Lemmon severed up a romance that had me laughing, rolling my eyes and wanting to lock this couple in a dark room to see what would happen!

Jacqueline and Vince share the role of vice president at a local marketing firm. The two have become close friends, watching movies together, and sharing lunches but when Vince sees Jacqueline ogling a local runner, he suddenly begins to think of her as more than a friend. Guys are so silly. Vince has a million reasons why he cannot ask her out and instead decides to coach her on picking up the hot runner. He figures he can be her rebound guy, then Vince will sweep in and yeah..like I said, guys.

I knew we were in for a fun ride and Lemmon delivered plenty of snark, delicious teasing and some hot as heck moments as these two sorted things out. The drama was minimal and the dual perspective really allowed me to understand the characters. As I said, at times I wanted to lock them in a dark room until they just came clean on their feelings. Miscommunication almost spoiled my good time but despite frustration, I enjoyed the ride.

I adored their coworker and I am very curious about Vince's drinking buddy. Both meddled and added to the tale.

Awkward, sexy and just plain fun EYE CANDY offered up a tasty afternoon treat. Fans of Lauren Blakely, Kate Meader, and Jennifer Probst will adore this one. Be sure to read the author's note in the back of the book. It shares how Lemmon got the inspiration for this tale and it will make you smile.
