My first thought when I laid my eyes on him? He’s still so gorgeous. Second thought? I hate him. I want to ruin his Christmas. My narcissistic billionaire ex was back in town. Just in time for the holidays. But his presence brought me anything but cheer. My heart thumped hard when I saw him at the airport. He was my first love and I used to trust him with my life.I sure as hell was not about to … trust him with my life.
I sure as hell was not about to make that same mistake twice.
Especially not as a cautious single mom.
I didn’t care if his perfectly chiseled body made me drool.
Or if his strong hands knew exactly how to hold me in place.
But then his grasp around my waist tightened.
And his piercing eyes told me that he wanted a second chance.
I couldn’t let myself give in.
Not now. Not ever.
Believe in the magic of Christmas!

I really enjoyed reading these two stories, each with their own leading men, trying to hide their feelings for that special someone by being the worst version of themselves. Both very successful in their jobs but when it comes to love, deep down, they think they don’t deserve it so they go through women like candy.
All it takes is that one special someone, for Sly it’s a trip back to his hometown and bumping into a childhood friend/bully that he has always had a thing for;and for Gordon it’s his mentor and best friend’s little sister, whom he’s always been around and attracted to but was told to stay away from.
When these men finally decide to try something new love is able to break down their walls and some pretty amazing things happen.

Fifteen years ago he lied when he said he would be back of her. Now he is back, but for what?
I regret to say it, but I could not stand this book. The “hero” is an absolute tool and he had no redeeming qualities in my opinion. Usually I can see where our bad boy should be given a second chance, where he might have some regret over his past and now he realizes he needs to make amends. Well, I was so turned off by our male lead that I felt he deserved his current state and should leave our decent and loving heroine alone.
Based on the above, one might expect me to give a lower rating than I did, but others might still enjoy this story. The writing is, as usual for our author, very good. She obviously did a good job of characterizing her lead. Unfortunately, the character she built just pushes all the wrong buttons with me.
I can only recommend this book if you have far more patience (and forgiveness) than I do.

His Candy Cane
By Summer Brooks
Main Characters: Sly and Sheila and Gordon and Emma
I voluntarily and honestly reviewed this book without bias or persuasion from the author.
3 1/2 out of 5 stars
This is a two for one book about the Lane brothers. Sheila and Sly have known each other since grade school. They were enemies, friends then lovers and then Sly left and Sheila was left waiting and waiting with a broken heart. I liked Sly’s character before he left and when he returned 15 years later he was a jerk to put it nicely which he wasn’t. Sheila meanwhile ended up being a single mom. Will the two be able to rekindle their romance? You have to read it to find out.
Gordon is Sly’s football playing brother and he has a thing for his best friend Roger’s sister. However Roger warned him to stay away from her. I would have liked to see a little better ending in both of the books.
A must read.
His Candy Cane is a two book collection.
We meet the Lane brothers. In the girst book we meet Sylvester a self made billionaire and in the second book we get to know Gordon a Nfl quaterback. Both brothers are arrogant and playboys but when their hearts go out to the women they love they turn into a man every girl dreams off a loving and passionate man that only sees the woman he loves.
Sylvester and Sheila have hated each other since the day they met as kids. When Sylvester left for college and came back on a break their relationship changed that summer and Sly made promises to Sheila when he was returning to college……… promises he knew he wouldn’t keepkeep.
Fast forward 15 years and you have an arrogant narcissistic billionaire that walks and talks his way over everyone to get to the top, that is until a angry divorcee and childhood enemy, wont take his bs and puts him in his place time and time again.
Everyone thinks of Gordon the future star quarterback as the man that had his heart broken by his cheating fiancee, a touchy subject that had Gordons fist in a reporter’s face….a few times.
Gordon has always had a thing for his best friend’s sister but has been warned off, but how can you stay away from the woman that makes your heart soar when you see her and you just know she is the one.

A well written great holiday book with two stories that had me engaged from the first page till the last. This are both very entertaining about two brothers and their second chances with the ones they love. It includes their past love and mistakes and how their given second chances. They are steamy, full of snark, emotional, have angst and almost uniquely original on this wonderful rollerscoaster as each story unfolds. Great strong characters that are quite romantic and include wonderful sexy scenes. Another great book from an amazing author.

Two amazing, enjoyable, and compelling read-worthy romances. The storylines are emotionally deep, well written, and action-packed with ups and downs, humor, witty banter, and romance. The plots are interesting and engaging; the stories move along at a brisk pace. Each book is unique with characters that are likeable, well-developed, and broken. The chemistry between them is steamy and off the charts. Highly recommended! I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book.
This 2 book set tells the Stories of two brothers & the women who come to love them. Sylvester has become a billionaire businessman who has lost touch with his emotional side. Enter Sheila. Single Mom with an Ex you want to strangle. Sly & Sheila have been frenemies forever. After one steamy summer long fling, Sly leaves to forge his empire, forgetting the promises he made to Sheila. Sheila hasn’t forgotten or forgiven. Watch as they stumble their way to a HEA.
Gordon is the carefree star quarterback whose bed is never empty at night, but empty in the morning. Enter Emma. His best friend’s sister. Roger has forbidden Emma to get close to Gordon. He has forbidden Gordon from pursuing Emma. You can see where this is going! Watch as Gordon finally finds the One he has been looking for has been right there all the time. See Emma defy her brother to follow her heart.
If sexy alpha men and strong, snarky, sexy women are your thing, this book is for you. Steamy scenes, a little intrigue, and a lot of HEA.
I really enjoyed both of these books but I have to say the one with Sylvester and Sheila was my favorite. The chemistry between these two characters is fantastic and the snark being thrown about had me laughing out loud. The book with Sylvester’s brother Gordon was also a fun entertaining read. I love well done sports stories and this one is very well done. All of these characters were easy to invest and engage in. Well written, great plot lines with fun characters. This set is well worth the read.

I found this book slow to get started but that could of been me, but once I was in the flow of the story I really enjoyed it.
It was a hate/love/hate hopefully love again which made more sense the more you read.
I felt for Angela’s character she really had a hard time of it but people loved to judge i felt that dragged her spirit down as for sly, he didn’t really know want he wanted until it was right there in front off him.
Great story lines and characters. These two stories take place at Christmas and deal with two play boy brothers and the women that stole their hearts. These are second chance stories with sexy scenes, drama and love. Love both stories, definitely recommend, they are great holiday reads.
Super-steamy, two stories in one! Great stories and great characters that have known each other since childhood and developed different levels of relationships over the years. Two brothers, a billionaire, and a pro football player can’t seem to get their love lives together! Both get second chances, with HEAs. Drama, sex, heat, everything you’d expect in a romance story. Hot, sweet, fun for the holidays!
I’m not sure what these stories had to do with candy canes, but these two brothers are narcissistic and so self-absorbed, that no wonder it took them into their late thirties before they fell in love. Personally, they don’t deserve the women they fell in love with. Trashy men get decent women, but the good thing is these guys have money. I just wanted to smack these women in the head and say, “These men are poison!”. These stories are okay if you like that type of man. Personally, they can rot for all I care.
I was pleasantly surprised to find two stories in one! I enjoyed both stories, although I felt that there were some loose ends, that kinda leaves you guessing. (Like what happened with her son Aiden, he went to visit his dad, the father changed the date of returning him, Shelia’s not happy about it, but that’s it and it’s never mentioned again, nor is her son after that – weird, and not real life). However, the stories are heartwarming and happily ever after’s and I enjoyed the book! Perhaps we’ll hear more from Sly, Shelia, and Aiden? (Hint)

These two stories take place at Christmas and deal with two brothers.
The first story is about Sylvester(Sly) and Sheila. These two have known each other since the were ten and eleven. She was the troublemaker and he was the nerd. When they got older Sly ended up breaking Sheila’s heart. Now years later he is home and he bumps into Sheila. This could be the second chance he needs and realizes he wants.
The second story is about Gordon, Sylvester’s brother, and Emma. Gordon is a pro football player and best friends with Emma’s brother. Emma has had a crush on Gordon, but knows about his playboy ways. They had started somewhat of a relationship, but once her brother noticed, he talked to them separately and they have stayed away from each other since the. They still like each other and one things turns to another. Will it be one night or will it become more?
These are both stories about second chances. These were great stories with great characters. There will be some drama as well as some sexy scenes.
