Peaches and Cream Taffy
Taffy is the seventh book in the Sweet Curves series and is the story of Tina and Troy.
Tina is twenty-three years old and has recently graduated law school, finally landing her first job at a law firm in San Francisco. She has to be there within the week so she packs up her belongings into her car and drives up. Lucky for her the father of her best friend Kate has a townhouse there that has a couple bachelor suites and one just happens to be unoccupied. So Kate arranges for Tina to move in paying well below the market rate.
Troy is thirty-nine years old and is about to be Tina’s new landlord. He became a father to Kate when he was sixteen years old, knocking up an older woman. While it created a bit of a scandal her parents were wealthy so they moved away and paid him off with a trust fund. They wanted him to give up his parental rights but he would not do that and instead worked two jobs to have money for child support payments and fought for years to have a relationship with Kate.
When Tina pulls into the driveway of her new home is sits in the car for a while until a man knocks on her window. Turns out he is Troy and they are instantly attracted to each other. After all he is handsome, built and sexy and she is lush, curvy and beautiful. But things cannot happen between them because of Kate, no matter how much they each may fantasize about it. Later that day they meet over the Taffy bin, raspberry and peach to be exact, and with a bit of flirting all defenses are shattered. Is this love for Tina and Troy? But what will happen when Kate finds out? As we all know she is going to.
This insta-lust/love OTT, sweet short romance story is definitely cavity inducing but in a good way. The characters are outlandish and the situation completely improbable but the taffy is definitely real. This is an easy and fast book which will leave a smile on your face and a hankering for some taffy.
Best friend’s dad? Ahhhh I just love these type of stories.
Troy is a young dad though, had his daughter at 16 years old. He’s now 39 and his daughter’s best friend, Tina, is 23 and renting a room from him. It’s ridiculously fast instalove as they met one day, have sex and say they’re soulmates and in love the day after that. Tina was even saving herself for that one special dude… and I guess when you know, you know? Yep.
The whole thing with Troy and his daughter Kate’s mom situation when he was 16 gave me a bit of a creep factor. I have no clue why because I normally like that specific trope (no spoilers!) but something about it just weirded me out.
But I still enjoyed this overall for a short story. Kate was an awesome best friend and daughter in this story, that’s for sure. Glad there was no drama.
Another 3 read for me.
Another fun, flirty, and fast read from Megan Wade.. I love that I can count on her heroines to be curvy but with a positive self image, and her heroes to be smitten. This one does not disappoint!
this was a very quick insta lust/love story with a taboo feel for best friend’s dad romance all mixed together. it was light and sweet with a touch of steam.
Tina’s best friend helps her get a place to live after she lands her first job after college. Its a room the her friend’s dad rents out. When Tine arrives she runs into a man and its turns out to be her friends dad. Which shocks her because he is so young. Troy is stunned by the intense attraction he feels for Tina so much so that he tells her to lock herself inside and not to let him in the apartment. When they do end up running into each other again later its not long before they give into temptation. What will his daughter say about them being together? Can they be together and not lose their relationships with her?
This is a steamy short that will captivate you from beginning to end. The chemistry between them will melt your kindle its so hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

I loved this short but sweet instalove romance. The story was very entertaining. The characters were relatable.
Tina is going to start a new job and is moving into her best friend Kate’s dad’s rental studio. She’s never met Troy Dante before but she figures that he will be like her dad. When Tina gets to the address she meets Troy and can’t believe that he is Kate’s dad because not only is he hot, he’s a lot younger than she expected. She is drawn to him but decides to go for a walk and finds a store that sells taffy on the pier. Tina has her first kiss with Troy after they run into each other at the taffy place. It’s amazing and unexpected and complicated all at once. Neither of them wants to hurt Kate, but can you turn away from love?
The way that Tina and Troy both knew they were connected so quickly was awesome. Kate’s reaction to them being together was so sweet. Their happy ever after made me smile. I recommend reading this book!
