Candy Store - Softcover

On the verge of losing her candy store, Callie Moore decides to blot out her troubles with a tall, dark, handsome stranger. Derek McNear isn't about to turn down a cute, curvy blonde who offers sizzling-hot sex in a commercial refrigerator at his best friend's wedding reception. But the next day, when Callie discovers that Derek is the consultant she has hired to save her store, they find it difficult to concentrate on business. Especially when giving and getting pleasure in each other's arms is so much more fun! [Previously published in 2005. Completely edited, revised and rewritten in October 2010.] Reviews... "This is my first story by Bella Andre and all I have to say is damn! This is a wonderful and funny story. Not to mention hot! I very much anticipate Bella Andre's next story. 2 thumbs up!" Just Erotic Romance Reviews, 5 stars "Candy Store is a fun, hot read that I enjoyed very much. Bella Andre certainly did a good job on this one!" Joyfully Reviewed, Cassie "You are in for a really sweet treat when you pick up Candy Store by Bella Andre. Derek and Callie burn up the pages, the chemistry is so explosive between them. I cheered them on as they began a journey toward the "happily ever after" neither expected to find, though it will take coming to terms with their fears before that is achieved. The love scenes are off the charts and appropriate to the story, the cast well developed, and the internal struggles are poignant." Sensual Reads "Terrific...The reviewer can recommend this book wholeheartedly." Fallen Angels Reviews, Susan
