KANDYWhen I was a little girl, Mr. Cane was my whole world.He was perfect and handsome and the best thing to have ever happened to my family.As I grew up, those feelings changed. I wanted him in every possible way, and I got what I’d been craving.Then I learned things about him…dangerous things.I was too stubborn to heed his warnings–too naive to see the complicated mess unfolding right in … complicated mess unfolding right in front of me.
My life was torn to shreds because of my desire for him, but how am I supposed to stop loving a man who still means so much to me?
CANE
I knew from the start that I should have stayed away from Kandy, but my stubborn heart wouldn’t let me.
I’ve done things I’m not proud of to get to where I am now, and because of it, monsters lurk deep within my shadows, ready to pull me under. She’s better off without me. I know it but still, I can’t let her go. She’s my girl. My everything.
I will fight for our love, even if it means losing everything I worked so hard for in the end.

Love knows no boundaries.
Life knows no limits.
Loving Mr. Cane exceeded my expectations.
My heart still isn’t beating right. This story surpassed everything before it. The longing, the forbidden lust. Just the story as a whole has me on my knees begging for more.
Cane. You annihilate me. His compassion & complete trust to Kandy. He’s the ultimate forever. His past makes him who he is. A warrior.
Kandy. You are a true believer. Her faith in humanity is what keeps this book alive. She never fails to believe in her family. Or her lover.
Take a chance and read this series. It will make you think thrice. The ability to forgive and love can sometimes be a strange concept.
This book brought me to my knees.
This book was absolutely amazing!! Shanora did it again!!! I could not wait for this book to come out to find out what happened next for Candy and Q. Book 2 left you literally on the edge of your seat wondering if Candy was okay or not and what was going to happen next for the two of them. Your left wondering where the hell Kelly too. This book definetly helps answer all these questions and much more! Theres lots of twists and turns, and lots of HOTNESS! I can’t wait for book 3.5 to come out so we can have the ending to Candy and Q’s story! I love these two and I’m definitely not ready for their story to end for sure!
I swear this series just keeps getting better and better with each new book that she writes. I was really happy that this one begins right where book 2 left off so I didnt feel like I missed anything important. I was on the edge of my seat from beginning to end.
Wowza!! this book was everything I was anticipating and more!! Phenomenal series!!
Shanora did it again!
OMG! OMG! OMG !! I loved this couple with madness and this story from the first page. After the cliffhanger that we had at the end of the second book, I could not wait to read this, but let me tell you, it was worth the wait, gahhh, I had turning the pages and with the heart in my mouth practically without blinking from start to finish.
A journey full of action, love, sweetness, emotion, that consumed my mind and heart. This couple is so intense, their scenes are loaded with so much passion and love, that you practically feel it through the pages. Cane, oh God, I loved him so much, I swore I could not love him anymore, but he showed me I was wrong, I fell completely in love with him.
The plot has the characteristic style of the author, it consumes you and makes you addicted to her words, it envelops you and you can not stop reading until you finish. The epilogue was simply perfect and I can not wait to read the novella. A perfect conclusion for this beautiful couple. Super recommended.
4.5 Kandy Cane stars
What an incredibly epic roller coaster ride! The journey Kandy Jennings and Quinton Cane have taken us on is one that’s truly remarkable and every bit unforgettable. The love, passion and heat surrounding these two are enough to make you squirm and melt all over, and the things they’ve gone through will only continue to make your jaw drop and your heart beat frantically inside your chest. Needless to say, reading this book—this entire series—was by far comparable to an extensive emotional workout.
“Sometimes you have to unravel before coming together again.”
The thing I loved most here, aside from the sweet dates and getaways these two luxuriated on, was probably the impressive character development Shanora Williams laid out in this book. There was just so much growth in both Kandy’s and Cane’s characters—it was completely evident on how far they’ve come. They found love and fell hard, weathered every storm and fought side-by-side. They defied the odds and only got stronger the more challenges they faced together. With every step of the way, you’ll just get more and more attached to these two. You’ll cheer them on like crazy even from the very beginning, and there just won’t be anything else you’d want, but for them to finally have their true HEA.
“When you love someone, none of their flaws are supposed to matter. When you love them, you work through it, even if some of their flaws fucking suck.”
If you’re a huge fan of Shanora Williams, then you’re in for quite a special treat that only made Loving Mr. Cane that much sweeter.
If you’ve been dying to peel more of Quinton Cane’s layers and getting to know the core of his soul, then this is the book you’ve been waiting for. This right here, is Cane, stripped bare and unraveled, letting his secrets and the rest of the skeletons left in his closet out. This is where you dive deeper into his darkness, and ultimately understand the fear and reservations Kandy’s parents truly held.
If you’re all about the blood-pumping angst and adrenaline rush of an alluring forbidden romance, then you better pick up the first book in this series and start devouring it if you haven’t already. Trust me, you absolutely wouldn’t want to miss getting to know Mr. Cane and his sweet Kandy girl.
“Loving Cane was the dumbest thing I’d ever done in my life, but what we had was real, and there was no denying how we felt.”
I’m a little behind on reading and reviewing this book, but I’m kind of happy that I left it to binge. Because honestly I don’t think I could have put it down and I had to focus on my last few days of class. This book like the other two sucked me in and held me in its emotional grip. I just love Shanora Williams’ writing and how it pulls you in. This whole series was a rollercoaster ride of emotions in all the best ways and I was so happy with how it ended. And I can’t contain my excitement for the novella coming out in November!!
So worth the wait! I love Cane and Kandy. They had lots to overcome in their love affair, and this story had my attention. I felt their emotions. This story had lots of obstacles, and some did not want to move easily.
This is a solid 5 for me. I loved this series and this was the perfect ending. There is a book 4 but book three does not end on a cliffhanger–finally.
I can’t say too much about this or it will give it away, but this book was amazing and of course you can’t help who you fall in love with.
There are some surprises and lots of feels.
Shanora is a master at cliffhangers and forbidden/taboo. I’ll read anything she writes.
Once again Shanora Williams knocks it out of the park with this fabulously written Cane series. I have been waiting for Loving Mr Cane, since that HUGE cliffy at the end of book 2. This series was an emotional ride that I LOVED from start to finish.
Once again Kandy and Cane have some twist and turns to overcome. Can it be done?
I absolutely ADORE these two! I loved every moment all the angst, all the sexiness. Shanora Williams knows how to write the sexy, steamy hot taboo stories that will leave you wanting more! So excited for more of these two in the future.
This story is oh so captivating. The age gap, the drama, the danger and the incredible chemistry between Kandy and Cane is just off the hook. The ending to book 2 left me gasping for air. Wow! In this third book, Cane finally opens up about his past, how he made his fortune and about his involvement with El Jefe, who makes a very dramatic appearance. I absolutely loved seeing him in this story. The touch of danger he brings just gives me a chill. Love him.
Kandy’s eyes have been opened to the real Cane and the danger that being with him brings. After the incident with Kelly, she is of course trying to be more cautios and really weigh her decision of whether or not to be with Cane. The threats are looming from every corner and you have to wonder if their love is strong enough to survive it all.
Gritty, emotional, dark and dangerous, hot and sexy and a whole lot more. This series is a winner. Shanora always pulls all the feels and emotions out of me with her faboulous stories, her intense and sexy characters and plot lines that leave me on the edge of my seat. A definite 5 star read that I highly recommend.
Loving Mr. Cane had all of the drama, sexiness and hanging on the edge of your seat stuff that I have come to expect from these books. This book took the author longer to write but it was worth every minute she spent perfecting it.
Kandy Cane has my heart hurting, my eyes watering and my mouth smiling throughout the book. Their connection is so deep and it draws the reader in. You feel what they are feeling both when they are together or apart.
This author really knows how to craft a book that has the reader so invested in everything going on that they forget the world around them. Once you start reading, you won’t want to put it down and even after it ends, your mind will still be going back to the characters and what they went through.
Kandy and Cane are back!! After a shocking cliffhanger in book two Kandy and Cane are back with an emotional, heartbreaking and beautiful instalment. Recovering from a horrific attack Kandy must come to terms with what has happened and decide what her future will holds with Cane. I must say I loved the special appearance character (my lips are sealed as to who it is but, it made me smile) an excelled story line that really pulled at the heartstrings and was full of emotion. I have grown to love these character and root for them the entire way!!! Cannot wait to see what the future holds for Kandy and Cane!
What an incredible read from Shanora Williams!!
I have eagerly been anticipating Loving Mr. Cane, and I am so glad that I have finally read it. You know why?? It is absolutely amazing!!
Cane and Kandy are absolutely perfect together. They share so much love for one another, that you can’t help but get on board with their love story. Through this book, you will be consumed not only by their love, but all that they have to endure. They have been through so much including heartbreak and pain. Yet, they have this indescribable power that will always draw them back together.
I highly recommend Loving Mr Cane to everyone! Go and purchase this book today, and you will immediately become consumed.
5/5 Stars!
Loving Mr. Cane is filled with angst drama , emotions and steamy. What journey Kandy and Cane go through to be together.
It was amazing series. I loved how everything unfolded between Cane and Kandy story. I couldn’t put it down. I can’t wait for the novella.
Totally recommend this series to read it. Thank you Shanora Williams for Kandy and Cane.
4.5 stars
This book picks up from where the second book finished and everybody is left to pick up the pieces in the aftermath. With relationships in tatters, everyone has a lot to think about. Kandy starts to show a maturity in this book that really made me like her. For such a young woman she’s definitely had a lot to deal with and in this book she has to decide if it’s time to walk away. Cane finally won me over in this book. I’ve had a bit of a complicated thing when it comes to Mr Cane. I’ve gone from not seeing what the appeal is (book one) to finally starting to like him (book two) to absolutely loving him in this book.
This book is everything I’ve come to expect from Shanora Williams. The tension, the angst, the twists and turns, the characters that make me love them even when they frustrate me…this book has it all. Another great instalment in the Cane series.
The Cane series has been one of my most anticipated series this year! And it’s definitely become my favorite set of taboo books since I don’t read them that often. Even though there’s another book coming after this, I thought everything was tied up rather nicely by the end.
If you’ve been reading this series then you know how much of a killer that cliffhanger was in the last book! Thankfully Loving Mr. Cane picks up right from that point and I was just biting at the bit to know everything that happened following that little incident. I had a hunch about what Kandy was going to do even though it absolutely killed me because … CANE! But of course, everything that followed needed to happen, with Kandy suffering such a traumatic ordeal that left not only physical scars but emotional ones as well. She had a tough journey ahead of her.
My goodness, the drama was really cranked up in this one! A new to me character pops up and kind of stirs the pot or maybe lights a fire under Cane’s ass. It had me on the edge of my seat waiting for something huge to happen. I haven’t read Shanora’s previous series where El Jefe is featured, but as of right now, all my thoughts lead to not really liking the guy at all. But he makes it pretty clear in just his presence alone that he’s not to be messed with, PERIOD.
I adored Candy in this one, she went through hell and fought her way back out of there. I loved that she put herself first and took a step back to really take everything in around her especially her relationship with Cane. I definitely understood her reasons, but I wasn’t a huge fan of her doubts towards Cane. That man would go to the ends of the world to protect her and there’s no if, ands/buts about it. But as we all know, Cane isn’t perfect, he has a dark past that not many would be proud of, but I appreciated the fact that he was able to get himself out of a sticky situation. Sorta?! I think that man will always be tied to El Jefe and that is something I would never want lingering on my shoulders.
I might be the only one that thinks this, but this one didn’t feel very taboo at all like it was in the previous books. Despite Kandy’s parents still not liking the fact that she is with Cane, she was very firm on her decision to be with him because he ultimately made her happy. It was still tough to see the relationship between Kandy and her parents and it had me screaming, she’s happy, let her be. But I know, easier said than done!
Shanora does it again, she had my hanging onto every word as I was making my way towards the end! I can’t wait until 3.5 and see what’s to come of Cane and Kandy!
I loved, loved, loved this book! Bonus I didn’t even have to break out the vodka for this one! Seriously Cane and Kandy are everything. This quickly moved to my top read of 2018. I can’t wait for their wedding book.
Hell yes!! Finally – after that freaking cliffhanger – more of Kandy and her Cane – and these two have quite much on their plate in this one. This part of their journey was spiked with even more obstacles and hurdles they had to conquer, so that the pages just flew by. And although Kandy kinda acts strange in the beginning of the book, they do mature a lot in this book! And the fact there’s still more of them to come in form of a novella makes me really happy!
I still love the forbidden feel to the story with their age gap and the fact Cane is Kandy’s dad’s best friend, but now knowing them like that after two books, it’s all only getting better – seeing broody, tattooed Cane become vulnerable and their undeniable love and devotion for one another grow deeper and stronger was simply amazing. They are destined to be together despite all odds and will fight tooth and nail to achieve just that.
Of course, this wouldn’t be a typical Shanora Williams story if there weren’t those twisty curveballs thrown left and right into their story. Man, there were times I feared I’d get whiplash! Oh, and not to forget the sex. Such yummy, sizzling deliciousness… Gah!
When this book ends, you just know it’s not all said and done yet, there are still too many things left unresolved and questions unanswered. This final shorter instalment is definitely needed and I’m anxiously awaiting its arrival.
Loving Mr. Cane does not disappoint. The 3rd and almost last in the Cane series, Shanora Williams does not hold back when it comes to Quinton Cane and his Kandy. After the bomb that was dropped at the end of book 2, this continuation is literally the best kind of angst fest when it comes to finding a way back to each other.
A ton goes down with Cane’s past rearing it’s no so lovely head and decisions must be made with respect to his professional and personal life. Kandy is in the middle of it all and her reactions are once again spot on, never coming off too immature but clearly appropriately naive and still very much in love with the most forbidden of men.
But you can’t choose who you love and through all the ups and downs, drama, hurt, pain and exposed secrets, I can’t help but believe Cane and Kandy are without a doubt meant to be. It’s simply up to them to figure out a way to make that happen. And fingers crossed they manage to do just that.
Shanora Williams knows the secret to writing the kind of forbidden romance that keeps readers completely captivated: create insanely intriguing characters who are beyond addicting. Add the right amount of heat, love and heartfelt emotions and you’ve got the Cane series. One I know will be hard to quit. Bring on the 3.5 novella and our last chance to be with this wonderful crew.
5 solid stars!
