Sugary sexiness!
Alice finally gets her shot out of the office. Fake fiancee and amateur detective at the ready.
Nick and Alice are so hot and steamy! A lot of fun and adventure! Man Candy is definitely a great addition to the Billionaire Bachelor series!
I’m excited for the next book in this series but I’m most excited for the new spinoff series – Chick Flick Club – coming soon!!
Lila Monroe does it again! She writes the best characters and this story is no different. I fell in love with the quirky, shy office manager while hoping she got the guy.
Alice agrees to be Nick’s fake fiancee for a PI job. She is looking to break out of the normal life because everyone has been pushing her to live a little, mostly her sister.
Nick has done his research on Alice. He thinks she is perfect to be the arm candy he needs for the assignment. He doesn’t count of her being so amazing, thriving for the adventure he brings.
Even though the characters seem so different, the author gives them that quiet, shy and timid edge that bring out the best in the other.
Bad puns thrown in the mix of secret missions make this a breeze to fly through and fall in love.
This was a DYNAMITE read! This felt a whole like a James Bond romance but with lots of laughs, sizzling HOOOOOT times, and the right amount of heart.
Lila Monroe really outdid herself with this newest Billionaire Bachelors story that is for sure. This one is my new #1 and honestly, I don’t see how it can get better. I mean really, this book DELIGHTED me from start to finish. I in NO WAY wanted to put it down. It was SOOOOOOOO much fun and hilarious and OH SO DELICIOUSLY SEXY! Nick is a smooth, delectable hero. He really did remind me of James Bond and oh my, I found myself fanning myself, trying to put of the flames of desire he seemed to create inside me with every flick of the page. And I ADORED Alice. She went ALL in when she went undercover and I think she did such a great job for being an amateur. She was sassy, smart, came up with brilliant ideas and she was beautifully passionate. Heck, this story was passionate and it was extraordinarily exciting! You guys, you DO NOT want to miss this book!
I give Man Candy a UNDENIABLE TEN GOLDEN, OSCAR WINNING STARS!
I read this whole series. This one wasn’t my favorite, but it was worth the time. I wouldn’t necessarily buy it again, but it was worth it, just to read the whole series.

Who doesn’t love a playboy-turned-doting husband?
I fell for Fitz from the start. His laissez-faire attitude is irritatingly charming, but there’s so much more to this man than meets the eye. Sure, he has witty and sexy down to a science, and that sexy British accent doesn’t hurt either. But Fitz has a good heart and an irresistible kindness hiding under that mouthwatering exterior, so it’s hard to do anything but fall.
Becca is fantastic. In a lot of ways, she’s the strong woman she needs to be to get things done. She’s selfless, always putting other people first, and her loyalty to what she considers her family is admirable. And just like most women, she still struggles with her own insecurities, making her a completely relatable character.
From their first true encounter to the last pages of the story, Fitz and Becca take you on an enjoyable whirlwind adventure. It’s definitely not an easy one, but it’s packed full of wit, charm, lots of feels, and tons of chemistry. I absolutely adored this book and this entire series.
2018 published, both POV, contemporary, easy to read, M/F romance, San Francisco, NYC, plot, read, romance, sex, steamy.
Fast read, entertaining, and well worth it!
Man Candy by Lila Monroe is the fourth book in her quirky Billionaire Bachelors series. The story of the Olivia’s assistant, Alice, and the fulfillment of her Bond Girl dreams when she signs up to be the fake fiancée of Private Investigator Nick Chambers.
Alice may be the perfect secretary/assistant at Olivia’s elite matchmaking business but she has dreams that involve so much more than sitting behind her desk for the remainder of her life. When the opportunity to play fake fiancée comes up she jumps at the chance.
Nick needs a cover and for that he needs a girl from Olivia’s service. Alice may not seem like the perfect sidekick for his upcoming investigative role but after an excursion or two Nick starts to wonder how he ever did this without her.
Quirky, funny, steamy and romantic and also with a brief introduction to secondary characters that are the forefront of a new spin-off series, Chick Flick Club . I absolutely loved this! Enjoy!
What a delightfully fun story! I laughed, i swooned and laughed some more! The authors humour knows no bounds and the characters are so much fun to read about!!
I really liked Alice and Nick alot! Their story has a few antics and I certainly hoped Alice would get her HEA! But not everything is as it seems and when Nick accuses her of being untruthful, needless to say Alice isn’t happy at all!
Can we really trust those who we once consider a friend??
Nick is a PI and enlists Alice as his fake fiancee to help with his case! Oh boy they have some interesting moments and I came to really like these two!
This book was wonderful and a pleasure to read!
Another great read from Lila Monroe. She always delivers a book that will keep you amused and engaged as she balances wit with hot passion. This is the fourth book in this series and can be read as a standalone, and Monroe obviously had fun writing this fake Fiancée book.
Nick Cameron is a PI and needs a fake Fiancée for an undercover assignment and he goes to Olivia to hire her agencies services. Obviously doing his own investigations before using the agency he has decided that Office Manager, Alice is the perfect person for the job. She’s the quiet, sexy librarian type but she challenges Nick more then he anticipated, pleasantly surprising him.
The chemistry between Nick and Alice was red hot, even from their first unofficial meeting. I was cheering for them the whole time as they were perfectly suited.
I am so excited that this series has now given us Alice’s Story!!
Nick and Alice are so much fun together ! Alice appears on the outside as a by the book straight laced right hand women but deep down she has the itch to be a crime fighter lol ! Nick is going undercover in a the chocolate world and yes needs a fake fiancé , hiring Oliva’s company is a no brainer but when he sets his sights on Olivia’s girl wonder that is when things get interesting ! He may thin that Alice is a novice but at every turn she surprises him . The mystery that surrounds this beautiful smart woman only make him want her more !!!!
Loved it !!

In Man Candy, readers reenter Lila Monroe’s Billionaire Bachelor world, and she introduces readers to Nick Chambers, a private investigator in need of a fake fiancée for an undercover operation at a candy company, and Nick wants Olivia’s secretary, Alice Jones, to be his arm candy in order to investigate a potential fraud/industrial espionage case.
But here’s where things get quite a bit more interesting because even though Alice was chosen for this role due to the fact that she is a responsible, reliable, and hardworking woman, there’s more to her than her administrative skills and throughout the course of Nick and Alice’s two week assignment, Nick gets to know exactly who Alice is, which puts him in a difficult position because as their attraction builds and their fake affection becomes real, Nick’s focus is split between his growing feelings for Alice and the task at hand, which puts him in a precarious position and forces him to determine if he can handle his personal and professional life coexisting or if he’ll have to put aside what he feels for Alice in order to not only get the evidence he needs but to protect Alice as well.
I love Lila Monroe’s romantic comedies, and her Billionaire Bachelor series has a great blend of humor, wit, and steam. Even though each book in the series is based on a fake relationship, Monroe varies the plot lines and the situations that her characters are placed in, so nothing is overused or repetitive. Nick and Alice’s story adds another dynamic to the series due to the undercover aspect of their ruse and the James Bond like maneuvers that have to be used, and that’s the part that intrigued me the most because Nick and Alice work well together and despite the pressure to uncover the proof Nick needs and the fact that Nick starts to question who he can trust, the reality is that Nick and Alice need and want each other way passed their two week fake engagement.
Who knew that sticky situations in a candy company could lead to illegal activities instead of a great product, but that’s the case that brings Nick and Alice together and it’s their sizzling connection that could melt just about any product that surrounds them.

OM freaking God!!! Lila Monroe delivers again. Spies and candy, who’d have thunk it, lol
Lila isn’t called the Queen of Rom/Coms for nothing and Man Candy proves it without a doubt. This was a seriously addictive and hot tale of a pretend relationship becoming real.
Nick Cameron is a PI who needs help with a big case and comes to The Agency in search of a fake fiancee. Alice has been happy been working her at office manager job, but recently she’s been feeling antsy and in need of a change.
When the man she met in a bar the previous night ends up as her boss, Olivia’s client, she jumps at the chance to work undercover with him.
Undercover, not under the covers which is what her dirty mind wants.
Alice soon finds herself in San Francisco as a billionaire’s fiancee and meeting a chocolate magnate. She’s in heaven. Chocolate heaven. Plus there’s the extra hot hottie sharing her living space.. And heating up her nights, if only in her imagination.
Nick is used to working alone, he likes it that way and isn’t used to sharing. But this case is different and when Alice becomes indispensable, he finds the lines between their professional and private relationship blurring. From hot as sin encounters in a tiny closet to baring all outdoors, these two almost melted my kindle. The story of espionage and chocolate was just so seductively funny that I wanted to eat it all up.
Everything about this story was just simply delicious, from sexy, sultry Nick and quiet, shy but with a hidden femme fatale side Alice. Throw in some hot detective work, sneaking around and playing at love this book had a the warm fuzzy feels.
If you want a light-hearted, melt in your mouth read this summer, then this is the one for you. Just watch out for the candy. LOL
I love this Billionaire Bachelor series, but I have to say that Nick and Alice are my new favorite couple. Alice is an average everyday girl. She doesn’t worry about her appearance or what people think. She is just like any other woman, she wants to find her HEA. Her sister is a hoot! She meddles in the most supportive way. Nick is every woman’s dream. He’s handsome and is ready to give his fake fiancé the world. These two are working together to find the culprit who’s trying to steal the next big candy in chocolate.
The scenes are fun and flirty. You witness the way the feelings evolve with this couple in jealousy and lust. Their chemistry is so hot. The closet scene had me panting. Grab Man Candy tonight and enjoy this deliciously tasty treat!
I was smitten with Man Candy as Lila Monroe gave us yet another amazing couple and a fun story!
Nick needs a fake fiance and Olivia is up for the job and goes undercover with the gorgeous private investigator. What Olivia doesn’t know is that Nick is desperately trying not to blur the lines and show her how he really feels about her.
Nick and Olivia were absolute perfection together! I laughed and cheered them on throughout the entire book. Their chemistry made me fall in love with them and I was so engaged in their story!
Man Candy is a fun and sexy must read!
Another fantastic installment in the Billionaire Bachelors series.
Man Candy is a fun little mystery wrapped in a terrific romance!
This is the story of Alice, the ever competent admin assistant, girl Friday. And Nick the PI with serious trust issues.
I really enjoyed Alice’s character. Her spunk, her drive and her want of making something more of herself! And her alter-ego, Gina….whew this gal is hawt!
Nick, is a bit of a mystery himself….he has so many alter-egos it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s fake with him.
When Nick hires Alice to be his “fake” fiance, their chemistry is off the charts! I loved how Alice would push herself into Nick’s world and I enjoyed reading about Nick’s reaction to Alice’s persistence.
Every one of the books in this series is a stand alone, truly. But to really enjoy these books, I highly suggest reading them all! I am so looking forward to the next installment in this series! Lila sure knows how to write a smart, funny, steamy romantic story!
This is the fourth book in the Billionaire Bachelors series. Don’t worry, they are stand alones. I started with the third book, but I have gone back and purchased the first two. They are funny.
Who would have thought that candy could cause so many problems and issues? Not me.
Alice works for Olivia. She runs the office, does all the background checks and the background work. She’s never been used as a fake girlfriend before. She wants to expand.
Nick needs a fake fiancée to help him get access to a chocolate empire. He’s trying to help a friend save her company.
There are a lot of laughs in this read. You’ll also get mad at Nick and want to slap him. I may have wanted to throat punch Lainey.
I really enjoyed reading this. It was a great book to start my weekend off with. I can’t wait for the next or for the spin off series!
I adore every book in this series, but I have to admit that I have been waiting on this one since the very first book!
Alice and Nick were off the charts amazing! This story has everything you have come to love and expect from Lila Monroe!! FIVE STARS!!
Rcvd an ARC at no cost to author..We have Alice’s story, yay! This is the fourth installment in the Billionaire Bachelors series, I really hope that you have started from the very beginning not that you will be lost because they are each a standalone and they might mention a character or two from a previous book but again nothing that will make you puzzled, but you get so much more if you start from first book. Ok, so we have Alice who works as a secretary for the agency and she has been dying to step out from behind the desk and go on an assignment, well she finally gets her chance. Nick is a private investigator and is hired to look into a case and feels that Alice is perfect for it, thinking she will fit in and be unassuming. This is perfect for Alice she gets to live out her Bond fantasies and really is enjoy herself and working with the handsome Nick is icing on the cake. Though knowing that it is wrong to give in to the attraction she has with Nick they can’t help themselves and give in. But, while on assignment Alice discovers that the person that hired them was shady and devious. She was smart enough to throw Alice under the bus since she knew Nick’s insecurities and how he would react. This is where I disliked Nick, he didn’t do his job correctly and immediately get suspicious of Alice after not having done his job correctly and believes this woman. I just wish that Alice made him grovel a little more, but was happy Alice found her calling and loved reading about about Olivia and Ryan!!.Enjoy!
