Sweet as Candy: a forbidden romance (Close to Home Book 3) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 10 ratings

To survive and thrive in her line of work, Candace has become a master at reading people. With most of her customers, it’s easy. Until the off-duty cop with golden-boy good looks starts coming around. He pays for her services but never collects, even though it’s obvious he wants her. Candace can’t afford to get to know or like him. Whatever his angle, he’s still a cop, and she’s breaking the law to provide for the only person who matters—her five-year-old child.

Between his looks and his police uniform, Jake never lacks for female attention. But when a favor for his partner Curtis lands Jake in a massage parlor, one sexy “masseuse” fries all his circuits. He should enjoy her services and move on, but it wouldn’t be real. It wouldn’t be enough. When he and Candy get together—and they will—it won’t be a paid transaction.


A forbidden romance with a guaranteed Happily Ever After!

Intended for mature adult readers only. Visit the author's website for content notes about all of her books.

Editorial Reviews

From the Author

Dear Readers,
Books in the
Close to Home series are linked by character friendships and/or family connections, but each book focuses on one couple, and the books do not need to be read in order. Each book has its own beginning and a guaranteed happily-ever-after, no cliffhangers! There are character crossovers between the books, but each story can be read individually.
If you prefer to read a series in order, here it is:
1 - CUP OF SUGAR (Conn & Nia)2 - ICING ON THE CAKE (Curtis & Sara)3 - SWEET AS CANDY (Jake & Candace)
Enjoy, and thank you for reading!

    I have absolutely fallen in love with Candy and Jake's love story. And the way Jake has fallen for Macy as well is so adorable that you can't put down this book. I love a great book that has you laughing, crying and hot and bothered all at once. It just hits you in all the right places. Definitely worth the read!!! 💜
