Claudette, an exotic dancer with the stage name Candy, is a girl with voracious sweet tooth who has become jaded by her illustrious career. She has always loved the notion of living the fairy tale, happy endings and all, but the men who frequent the club have crushed that fantasy. After all, who really wants a real relationship with a stripper? Tired of meaningless flings, she has made her life … made her life an endless cycle of working and hanging out with her friends, Z and Britt, at their favorite dive bar until the wee hours of the morning keeping her mind occupied and away from romantic dreams. Besides, candy and desserts are far better than sex anyway. That’s what Claudette keeps telling herself.
But things are not always as they seem, and Z and Britt see that. Will Claudette heed their advice? Will she go back to her comfortable ways to forget it all? Or just maybe, Claudette will be surprised by the unexpected and find that her fairytale is even better than she ever could have imagined, proving that sex, and maybe love, can be oh so sweet including candy and kink.

Candy works as a stripper. She actually likes her job at the start. But now after years of dancing for men, she’s tired of it. But she’s a creature of habit, change isn’t something she really does. But all that changes after the guy she was seeing, cheats on her, well actually Candy is the side chick. Thankfully Z is there to convince her that she’s not just a stripper with a sweet tooth. She can be anything she wants. I really enjoyed Z and Candy’s story.
This was the perfect quick read. I immediately fell in love with Candy and Z. Candy was unhappy with her life and just went through the motions. She felt that because she was a stripper that no one could ever love her. That was until Z finally made his move. There were complications such as Elliott and Pamela.
The title says it all. And now I have a sweet craving after reading this book!! I cant wait to read more.
So Claudette is a stripper who is tired of the way her life is. She’s very unsatisfied with it and with the kind of men it brings her way. These men seem to only want one thing from her and don’t really care about her. She has her friends Britt, Z, and Derek. Now, they are an interesting group and not normal in any way. When she and Z finally get together, things aren’t exactly vanilla. And this book is very steamy. Now Z, when his character speaks, all I can hear is Sam Elliot. I’m not sure who the author had in mind, but I cannot seem to see anyone else except Sam as being Z. A youngerish Sam that is. It was entertaining and if you want something hot, look no further.
“…you made me see that sex is better than dessert”

“Who wants to date a stripper?” No one, as far as Candy is concerned. She “muse(s) of romantic interludes and rendezvous, the fairy tale…” Candy and Kink is a romance, but it has witty writing; it definitely has a romantic comedy feel, yet has drama with hearts and flowers. Oh…and there is definitely some kink…”Meow!!!” Lines like, “…a waltz between his royal rod, my kitty cage, and the magic bean;” had me giggling like a school girl! Could she have actually found her “him?” The one that possesses all those qualities she’s looking for? As Candy’s walls are broken down, a harsh reality sets in. Can she live a life as (her true self) Claudette? Or is she doomed to “continue (her) life as a whore,” as Candy? Candy and Z’s story will have you cheering them on for their happily ever after.
I loved watching Claudette go from having nothing, to seeing that she has everything, and realising that the very thing she wanted was right in front of her waiting for her to see it.
Claudette hangs out at The Hideaway with her friends Britt and Z, they know her well, Britt makes sure there is always candy behind the counter for her and Z looks out for her.
After staying away from meaningless flings, Claudette see a gorgeous man and decides that she can have one more fling, although this ends badly when her friends, Britt and Z find out that he has a long-term girlfriend and tells Claudette who feels worthless after finding out.
Leaving her life as a stripper and starting to work for Z, Claudette is happy and realises that Z is everything that she ever wanted in a man. Z also shows Claudette that sex is better than any dessert using her favourite desserts.
The two encounter some challenges when Claudette’s fling turns up at the Hideaway and has never seen Z so mad at anyone, and a mystery woman turns up at the shops wanting to see Z and saying he will always come back to her, when Claudette sees that she has on Z’s necklace and pregnant, she heads back to Z’s to pack up her stuff and grab her kitty, Poe. When her friend Britt finds, her she tells her that she needs to listen to Z, that things aren’t always as they seem.
With everything working out for the Claudette and Z, Claudette realises that she has everything that she could want and more.
