Omg what a book
Arggghhh Ava why, why did you let it stop there haha. Geez I think Ava leaves us with those kind of endings that makes you want to throw thing’s lol. This is about Renee who is Kelsa’s BFF and roommate and Kelsa’s twin brother Cameron who just so happens to live with them their from her Gently Broken series and let’s just say thing’s get very hot, heavy and steamy with Renee and Cam. I love his way of thinking in the thing’s he does in this book. No spoilers here, but you definitely want to check this book out. I think Ava has a heat level in all of her book’s of hot to flaming there’s no slowing down lol. Which makes for some very interesting read’s . I absolutely loved this story if you can’t tell and I would say it’s a must read, but then that’s just my opinion. Don’t take my word for it pick it up and find out for yourself.
This is just my opinion and my voluntary review
Sexy, flirty and angsty to the core! Their attraction was strong. They tried to stay away but couldn’t. Cam was such a man whore before. Renee, more innocent. A Steam best friends brothers book! I can’t wait to read the next one!! That ending!!! What will Drex do?!?
Cam promised his twin sister he’d never mess around with another one of her friends after a major disaster with a cheerleader/friend in high school. He has kept that promise even though he has wanted his sister’s best friend and roommate since college until the day he and Renee met in the hall and she starts kissing him. Neither wants to hurt their sister/friend but these two can’t keep their hands off each other. Renee has the added pressure of an overbearing mother, a cheating ex boyfriend and a coworker she’s seeing but doesn’t have the guts to break it off with. The only time she feels free is with Cam. The heat level is super high and I can’t wait for Book 2!
So good!
Bad Candy but oh so sweet and spicy!!! This book leaves you wanting more. Cam and Renee are so good together but the ultimate challenge. Loved it!
Good premise and had promise but there was a real lack of consistency and continuity which put me off. Characters weren’t well developed, and there were a fair few plot holes and oversights that really detracted from the flow of the story. With a good content/developmental edit, this could be a great story, but really just missed the mark for me.
This a hot quick read. Kelsa and Cameron are brother and sister. They’ve always been close. But a bad thing happened when Cam was 17 years old and slept with Kelsa’s friend and ruined the friendship Kelsa had with her. So they call things that you shouldn’t want bad candy. Now Kelsa has a really great friend named Renee and Cam and Renee want each other but Cam knows she’s bad candy. Will they get together of course but for one weekend only??? It’s great that one weekend to get it out of their system works, right??? You’ve got to read this. Can’t wait for more.
Well written, very few typos. Cute, sexy, and fun. Looking forward to part 2.
This is the first book I have read by this author and definitely can’t wait to read more, especially Bad Candy Part Two. Who knew Bad Candy could be so sweet and downright addicting.
This is a best friends brother romance that will have you on the edge of your seat in anticipation of what will come next. The chemistry between Cam and Renee is sizzling hot and will leave you breathless. I so cannot wait for Part Two to see what happens next.
You ever want something you cant have that is how cam feels he wants his sisters best friend he tries to stay away from her but when Renee lets her guard down what happens! This was fun to read and I can’t wait to see what happens with cam and Renee next!
Bad Candy is full of lust, passion.
Renee has recently been cheated on, by one of the men she thought that maybe was marriage material. Cam is the hot brother of her best friend, Kelsa. Now I love me a good forbidden romance, and this was enjoyable. But it was missing that urgency to want to finish. Renee and Cam have known each other for years, so it’s easy for them to fall into each other. There’s that rush of it being forbidden. His sister made him promise that he would never go for Renee. But you know promises, sometimes they’re meant to be broken.
Even though they’ve known each other for years. I was kind of surprised that Renee just jumped in and didn’t make sure he’s been tested. Because based on a previous scene in the book I would be a little worried. But when you’ve been lusting after someone for years, that flies out the window.
Their plan for one night of passion doesn’t last too long. It will be interesting to see what happens in part two.
Overall, I give this Four Boundless Stars.
Holy hotness! Cam and Renee are dancing a fine line! Renee is Kelsa’s best friend, Cam is Kelsa’s twin brother. Do I need to say more??
The chemistry between these two is off the charts! The story flowed in a quick and solid pace. I can’t wait to see what happens in part 2!!
This mess my first book by the author and it will not be my last!!!! This book was hot and steamy and fun!!! The chemistry between these two is amazing and you just can’t put the book down!!! Highly highly recommend this book!!
Loved this one. Ava did such a great job writing this one. You are introduced to Bella and Cam. These two are roommates but so much more. Cam is her best friend’s brother and someone that Bella should not get involved with. Bella is Cam’s forbidden candy. Someone that he should stay as far away from as possible. But one kiss changes everything between these two. This was a great well written book from beginning to end. I loved the characters and the chemistry. I cant want to see what is going to happen between these two and the sister best friend in the next one. I am dying to know what is going to happen. Great ending but leaves you wanting so much more.
“You’re forbidden fruit…So fucking sweet, but I promised Kelsa I’d stay away.”
Bad Candy is my first book by Ava Alise and I. Loved. It! This is the first book of a duet and it’s a delicious forbidden romance between Cameron and his twin sister’s best friend Renee. Bad Candy will grab your attention from the very beginning and have you ready to scream when the book ends with a soft cliffhanger. Now, I say ‘soft’ cliffhanger because it’s not explosive, but don’t let that fool you. There is nothing like an incomplete picture and unresolved romances. And Ava leaves readers high and dry on both of those fronts. I personally didn’t wait two seconds after I finished the book before I was messaging the author asking when Bad Candy Part 2 would be available and thank God, it’s only about 6 weeks out!
I found Bad Candy to be an outstanding introduction to a new author. Ava Alise hooked me with a super sexy romance about giving into temptation. Cam is off the charts sexy and far too tempting to good girl Renee. Hell, let’s be honest shall we?! He was off the charts tempting to me even if he was a fictional character! I loved getting into both characters heads with this dual perspective romance. It certainly helped me understand their motivations and hang-ups. Bad Candy is well written, although it is not a standalone so do not go into the book expecting a HEA. It’s an easy, sexy read that will set your heart racing with a pace that matches the progression of the book. I can’t wait to read the second half of Cam and Renee’s romance and will be refreshing my kindle on the regular as we draw closer to the release of the second book. In the meantime, do. not. miss out on Bad Candy Part 1. Whether you’ve read Ava Alise or not, you’re sure to come away from this book the same way I did… Obsessed with finding and reading everything in her catalog! If you don’t already own her previous books, you will by the time you read the last lines of Bad Candy!!!
“Love, marriage, happily ever afters are not always predictable, but it makes me wonder… am I taking enough risks in life, or is it true that I always go for the sure thing?”
Never disappointing!!!! Bad Candy by Ava Alise is another fantastic, funny and sexy book. Like all the books before by this author I enjoy the quick, effortless story line that keeps me laughing and gets me in the mood all at the same time.
Cameron is Kelsa’s twin brother and he was told to stay away from her best friend Renee. Kelsa has lost a friend before due to her brothers actions and do not want this to happen again with Renee. Cameron however cannot get this girl out of his head. They all live together and after Renee shocked him with a passionate kiss, he is out of his mind with lust for her.
Renee, the good girl, has no idea why one night she just went and kissed Cameron, but she liked it and she wants more. Renee is not the type to be spontaneous and to keep secrets yet this is one secret she is willing to keep even from her best friend Kelsa. How will she possibly get more of the guy she craves and not get caught and potentially lose her best friend because of it?
I love the banter and the funny situations that Renee and Cameron find themselves in. The connection between the two is undeniable, the sex is incredible and the long term potential addictive. I also love the secondary characters, Kelsa and Drexal, they are so lovable and quirky!! I definitely recommend reading Dirty Flirting part one and two first and then Bad Candy especially if you like a romantic comedy!!
This is the first book I’ve read by this author,,,,, I can’t wait til I get to read more from this author ,,,,
This story is about Renee Espada whom is a 25 year old who lives in New York,,,, she lives with her best friend, Kelsa, also 25 ,,,, she has a bitch of a boss named Mosia who owns Mosia’s Women’s Fashion Team Eveningwear Department,,, Renee’s family is originally from Puerto Rico and now she lives in New York,,,, her bf Kelsa has a twin brother named Cameron and he loves women,,, all kindza women, and sometimes friends of Kelsa, which never works out and Kelsa abd said friend usually part ways because of Cam and he had to promise to her he wouldn’t make a move on Renee,,,, and Renee knows that her bf’s is a player and it really isn’t kosher to date your bf’s brother,,,, especially her rwin,,,, no problem,,,,, or, is it,,,, ???
Cameron’s twin Kelsa is living in New York and he needs somewhere to crash when he moves to NY so Kelsa says he can crash with her and Renee, but he has to promise not to touch Renee after all she’s “Bad Candy” as Kelsa and Cameron would say ,,, something his family would say and it was still being said between the twins,,,, He’s pretty sure he’s not going to be around the apartment much as he’s starting his own Photography Studio and it’s going to take all his time and energy to make the new up and coming studio running, and he won’t even notice Renee so, He’s got this,,, hands down,,, or, does he,,,???
I rather enjoyed this story from Ava Alise and I would highly recommend this book to anyone,,,, I found another author to read, so it’s a win, win for me,,,,
I ready this ARC voluntarily and left a review
From the very first page Bad Candy will pull you in and have you dying to know more, it was downright addictive! Nothing stirs up tension, drama, steam and torment quite like a forbidden romance, and this one does not disappoint, these two had me dying in anticipation from start to finish. I loved my time with Cam and Renee, their chemistry and feelings were palpable, they put a squeeze on my heart, and had steam rising from my kindle! I cannot wait to see how this little scenario all plays out… I’m sure it’ll be well worth the wait!
FABULOUS story!!!! I loved it even more than the first. The lack of proofreading done in the book made it a bit frustrating to read, but the story is so good that your heart just doesn’t care about technicalities or missing words! The characters were AMAZING too! I loved all the drama and suspense even the predictable was great! Absolutely fell in love with this series! Sexiness and hotness overload!
This author is new to me… and I will definitely be reading more! Her characters and writing are both amazingly addictive! I read this book in one sitting because I couldn’t wait to find out what happened next!
Can and Renee’s story is hot and steamy. I read this book first and even though Drex and Kelsa’s story is interwoven, it did not distract from the story. However I do recommend reading the first two books of this series first to understand the full picture!! Loved this book. Can’t wait to read what happens in the next part.
