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.

Gahhhh I’m so in love with this series! As soon as I finish one book I’m anxiously waiting for the next. Loving Mr. Cane was everything I expected it to be. Twist plots from beginning to end and on the edge of my seat. It was all worth it. We get more of El Jefe weaving his way into Cane and Kandy’s lives stirring things up. His devious ways makes my black heart happy and I’m craving for more. A surprise from Cane’s past appears when they least expect it. All I can say is revenge is sweet! Loving Mr. Cane is one you don’t want to miss.

Oh my KandyCane!!! I am just in love with this series! This was an amazing book!!! I couldnt stop reading!!! I loved how it intercepted with other books like El Jefe came in oh my how I love my El Jefe!!! Most of all this book got to me! Full of emotions I was tearing up and feeling so much for Cane! Finally got to see what was inside Cane’s life and it was emotional to read. I loved this book I love Kandy I love all of the characters well except Kelly and Buck hehe it I cant eait until the novella I’m sad that the series is coming to an end but cant wait to see what else she has in store!!! Thank you so much for your beautiful writing!
I’ve said it once, I’ve said it many times. Shanora Williams has the older man, younger woman story down pat! I absolutely love reading her OM/YW stories.
Way back in 2013 I picked up a book by this author I’d never heard of before…. Who He Is by Shanora Williams. I have been hooked on her books since then. I have totally enjoyed watching this author blossom into a very talented author. Her work if it’s even possible, just keeps getting better and better!
Loving Mr. Cane hit it out of the ball park! This was everything I was hoping for in the 3rd book of this series. Questions were definitely answered, we loved, and we lost. Emotionally draining is best describing how I felt reading this book. At times I was so high and enjoying Cane and Kandy in their sexy little romps in the sack. Then bam…when the dark cloud comes, it’s not just a cloudy day…it’s a storm like no other!
It was so, so hot catching up with El Jefe! I truly loved that man in her Venom series. If you haven’t read that series…pick it up now!!!
Kandy and Cane truly deserve to be with each other…but others don’t see it that way. Can these 2 overcome all the obstacles and get the HEA they really deserve? You’ve got to read the book to find out!!!

Shanora Williams totally did it again with “Loving Mr. Cane”.
I don’t want to give any spoilers away but know that in this book, Kandy’s feelings were really put to the test in book 3 and boy, do we get to see how strong and true Kandy is and how deep her love is for Cane despite her young age. The author didn’t age her character or make Kandy seem “older” which I want to give Ms. Williams kudos for staying true to her characters and what makes them tick.
Cane himself is this complicated , intense, intelligent man who seems to have a past that just keeps rolling out more secrets–the kind guaranteed to bring him down but the one person that has his heart is Kandy. But will Kandy be there in the end ?
Another phenomenal, intricately plotted, steamy red-hot love story in a taboo romance favorite. Ms. Williams has written an angsty, emotional, passionate, heartfelt 2nd chance, taboo romance that will entrance you from the 1st word on page 1 until the last word on the very last page. You do not want to miss the exciting conclusion in this series.
My rating: 4.9 stars *****
I am loving this series. Brilliant read
Shanora has done it again after the ending of book 2 I could not wait to get my hands on Loving Mr. Cane this is book 3 in the series. From start to finish, I could not put it down. I read in one sitting.
I love Kandy and Cane together I loved she stuck it out with him in this one and her parents started to accept her with him even though they don’t agree with them being together. I just love them the chemistry they have is off the charts.. One of my top fav characters.
Before you start this book, be sure to read the first 2 books so you have the full story and get to know these characters before you dive into this book. Very well written and I cannot wait for book 4.
Loving Mr. Cane was everything and more than I could have ever wished for. Ahhhh Kandy and Cane. We were left with so many unanswered questions in Breaking Mr. Cane. Poor Kandy and Cane, they just can’t catch a break. Their love was never easy, but damn, how much more do they have to endure to finally see the light at the end of the tunnel? Kandy and Cane are both heart broken. Sitting in a hospital bed, Kandy questions her love for Cane and whether it’s worth fitting for. As devastating news is revealed, what was left of Kandy’s shattered heart is withered away. Now she has to find a way to move on with her life with the BIG possibility Cane won’t be a part of it.
Cane has never been one to give up, but how much can one man take when the odds against him are piling up. Kandy is the love of his life and as much as he is ready to fight for her, he knows when he needs to step aside and let faith take control. Cane’s past continues to haunt him with new threats lurking in the shadows, ready to destroy what he has worked so hard for. So many lose ends that need to be attended to, but Cane doesn’t want to retreat back to his old ways.
As life altering actions and decisions are made, the lives of Kandy, Cane and the people around them are all affected. What I enjoyed the most about this book is how strong Kandy has become through all she has been through. She finally knows what she wants and stops at nothing to get it. Cane shows us how unselfish he is when it comes to the people he loves and cares for. He is willing to set aside his happiness to make others happy, even giving up Kandy if that is what she wants. He is ruthless in protecting his loved ones and it was refreshing to see old ties come together to help alleviate threats towards Cane.
Shanora Williams keeps getting better and better at delivering a raw, emotional, and heart-wrenching story. I love Kandy and Cane together, even though their love is taboo. Wishing them some peace but knowing Shanora that won’t last too long. 😉
It rarely happens but I am beyond words for how great this book was. Book 3 was absolutely perfect and I couldn’t have asked for a better book
I truly enjoyed every single moment of this story. Despite the age gap obstacle between Kandy and Cane, these two still find a way back to each other and continue to give us life! Cane still gives us alpha hotness, and Candy shows ultimate growth from the first book. This was overall the perfect closing to an amazing trilogy, but I won’t be mad if there’s a bonus book.
Phenomenal!
This series has grown on me so I was super excited to get my hands on this installment.
It surpassed my expectations as this series just keeps getting better, a real page turner!
The writing, smart, fresh and edgy!
The characters smoldering hot and their chemistry undeniable.
The emotions… the push and pull…
yes please!
Kane and Candi’s story…it was pure joy seeing them continue to grow and evolve. For all the twists, there was unraveling, for all the secrets there were revelations.
At the end love conquers all!
Loving Mr. Cane by Shanora Williams 5 STARS!!!
This series is one of the best I have ever read! This is book three of the Cane series by Shanora Williams. If you haven’t read the first two books in the series, stop now and read them! This book picks up where book two, Breaking Mr Cane, leaves off. This review may contain spoilers from the first two books.
This book left me in a whirlwind of emotions! This is one of those those books that leaves you breathless. The reader can definitely feel all the emotions that the author pours into the words. Shanora Williams definitely pours her heart and soul into the pages of this book and it makes for an amazing experience for the reader. This book answers all the questions that the first two books left the reader wondering about. The dynamic and chemistry that Cane and Kandy have are off the charts and hard to explain to someone who hasn’t read this series. It is definitely one of those feelings the reader has to experience for themselves. I absolutely love all the connections, broken and mended, that Kandy has with the people in her life. The emotion that is portrayed between Kandy and her parents, and between Kandy and Cane, are unparalleled. The inner turmoil she experiences from trying to keep everyone happy in her life made this book one I couldn’t put down. I became entrapped in the lives of this family. In true Shanora fashion, this book has twists and turns that the reader never saw coming. It is a true to life, emotionally packed story.
This book made me ugly cry multiple times. I HIGHLY recommend this series to any reader! This series started with forbidden love and ended with a true soul mate kind of love. Reading all the layers of their love story has made this a story that will stay with me well after the book is over. It is an epic story from beginning to the end!
As we know book 3 left on a cliffhanger so I was ready for this story to be released or so I thought .
OMG I was so not ready for how my emotions would play out I got mad ( damn you shanora why are doing this to me ) then happy ( it’s all good girl you fixed it ).
This story had few crazies in it who try to get in the way and we also have some Draco ( for anyone who’s missed him)
The sex scenes are so hot buts it not even about the sex ( ok maybe a little bit about the sex) it’s the connection between Cane and Kandy that make me read this story.
You know when something should be so wrong but it isn’t and it makes perfect sense.
When I finished book 2 I didn’t think it could get better but I was wrong it was one of the best books I’ve read this year!!
Loving Mr Cane
Book 3 in the Cane series is here and it’s frigging amazing. Shanora has done it again brought the drama and the Angst in the most delicious way possible.
This was probably my most favourite read of the series and I cannot wait for The Novella. I couldn’t wait for more Kandy & Cane and it surpassed my expectations.
What I loved was that together they have a multitude or problems to overcome, individually it’s almost impossible to stay away from that one that owns half of your soul. Their past and present are still fraught with obstacles but if you know these two their love is different, almost impenetrable.
Throughly a recommended read it will take you on a roller coast of emotions and leave you with a promise of more.
This series just keeps getting better and better. The emotional ride it takes you on will keep you turning pages so fast, it’ll be one of those nonstop reads! Shanora just plots like a superstar and twists and turns she places at crucial junctures make your head spin! Her flawless writing just flows like a brook, I couldn’t drink from it fast enough and wasn’t willing to stop at all.
In second book the horrendous act of violence committed at the fag end, results in irreversible damages in this book. Life is lost, ending future happiness and shattering wholesome dreams. My heart cried so bad at this point, it was dreadful and so unfair !!
“Dumb and naive, that’s what I was. I’d jumped the gun and now I was suffering the consequences of my actions.”
A ghost from the past and else times just pops in to stand and help. And I just wanted to worship Lora at this time, she rose up from ashes literally to pitch in when needed.
The story was so engaging, I had barely the time or ‘Tempt’ation to pick my head up and take a pause. So much happens at breakneck speed and threats just surround the lovely couple like swirling thunderstorm
“When Cane and I were in a room alone, we were amazing together— our chemistry off the charts— but out in the real world, we weren’t a good match. He was older. I was younger. He had a shaky past, and my life was just getting started. Our paths had crossed many, many times, and sometimes fate made us feel like we were winning, but our lives were passing each other, not fitting together. We happened to find an escape in each other… but that escape was over.”
So let’s take a pause here. I LOVED, like ADORED this unlikely pairing, was rooting for them, cartwheeling at their joys, hugging out their sorrows and setbacks. Shanora just created the perfect Tabboo read with naive yet sensible heroine and mature yet vulnerable hero. They both just got drowned in lust and swam in love, now just want to reach ashore of acceptance. And by God, I just gave it to them!
Enjoyed the book, couldn’t believe it’s stopped, but here’s hoping for more to come !
5 Kandy-cane stars
Loving Mr Cane is book three and picks up where Breaking Mr Cane ended. This is definitely my favorite of the series. Cane is still a sexy, protective and delicious alpha. Kandy is strong, sweet and sassy. She was so much stronger in this book. Loved her. KandyCane is #CoupleGoals. The love and connection they have is beautiful and everything. Love love them. I loved Lora, she needs her own book!! I can’t wait to read the final book in the KandyCane love story!
Wow that was a lot!! Cane and Kandy definitely don’t have an easy time in this one. There’s tonnes of action and plot twists trying to ruin their HEA. Kandy is still growing up in this one & she grew on me a lot more in this book. Cane is alpha and delicious. Plenty of chemistry and a real love story. Really enjoyed their story & looking forward to more.
Gah! I cant contained my emotions! SHANORA did it again. The journey had been frustrated, emotional drained, never ending fear for whats going to happen next.
Loving Mr.Cane is much more gripping and emotional. I cant stop my thought once I started from the first page. The book had flowed like a river with a deeper storyline. The tumble of chaos was crazy!!! Nothing short with drama and pack with suspense.
I envied on how Cane and Kandy had fighted to stay together. Its been a hard long journey.. lots of pains and tears. It was between two people who had fell in love. They had the right to be with each other.
This book here is EVERYTHING that you want in a fantastic taboo story full of every single emotion and believe me you will feel all the torture of Cane and Kandy as they face obstacles and secrets that could tear them apart. This was my favorite of the series all the characters and what goes down was so intense in places and down right scary but so so beautiful and passion like you have never known in a couple they were pure perfection and made for each other in every single way. The way the story weaves together its so believable and will have your heart racing and beautifully written with so much passion for these two. I just loved it so much.
I could not put this book down! Shanora Williams has outdone herself with this amazing series, this third book being my favorite! The plot moved so quick and fluid. I loved how things were tied up with the different plot points. I felt connected to the characters as they experienced the various events and emotions. I wanted to cry when they cried, laugh when they laughed, and several times I wanted to throw my Kindle when things got rough! I absolutely loved this steamy, forbidden, absolutely perfect book!
The Cane series has been one of my all time favorites of 2018!
Cane and Kandy, aside from their age gap, they were such a perfect match for each other. They completed one another and she always brought the good out in him.
My heart was full and overjoyed with their story. It couldn’t have been told any other way.
We get the closure we needed and the sins that Cane had carried with him for so long have now been unraveled. He never wanted Kandy to be shadowed by his past, but he needed to come clean with her and just pour out his truths if he wanted their relationship to work. It was up to Kandy to decide if she was willing to take the risk of being involved with a man like Cane or step away and start fresh with a new beginning.
I loved that Kandy didn’t let Cane’s past dictate her decision in whether she should stay or go. She was scared for her life and she knew she was risking it by being with Cane, but sometimes love conquers all!
I can’t express to everyone how much I LOVED THIS SERIES!!
