This series is a deliciously tempting, a truly must read series that hits all the forbidden taboo notes!! As only Shanora Williams does, there are twists, turns, heat, drama, angst, cliffhangers, those feels like only Shanora does it, passion, romance and HEA. To give you an example, here is book 2 review to give you insight of how amazing this series is!!
BREAKING MR. CANE by Shanora Williams is book 2 in the Cane series. This continues the story of Kandy and Cane. You must read book 1 before reading book 2. This picks up with Kandy starting her new life at college and with Cane trying to deal with the aftermath of their taboo red-hot relationship. You see how neither can forget each other and how they are wanting to be with the other but cant and how it is affecting them. We also get to see how Kandy has matured in this book. She isn’t all about her wants and needs as she was in book 1 and really has a good head on her shoulders in book 2. Cane is still as sexy in book 2 and is dealing with a lot on his shoulders . This couple are having to fight for their love and prove to people that they are meant to be together. In this book, we meet some new characters and get to see some characters that are so disliked that I want to know when they will go away for good ( hint hint Kelly) and yes Kelly is still bat nuts crazy. I am as hooked on book 2 as I was on book 1 and this hook had as many if not more, twists and turns and ended on one HUGE Cliffhanger that quite literally stole my breath. I can’t wait for part 3 in September. Kandy and Cane make up one fabulous couple and I cant wait to see what’s up next for them in their taboo love story.
My Rating: 4.8 stars *****
This whole series had me in shambles, I couldn’t think straight after ending this series, I loved the characters so much that I felt like I could embed myself in this series as I continued on with each book.
Ms. Shanora Williams knows how to write a well crafted book (series) with her hero’s being much older than her heroine’s and I love that about this author. A forbidden romance always catches my eye and I know, without a shadow of a doubt, that I will rank it at the top of my reads for the year and The Cane Series was definitely a fav of mine.
Review of WANTING MR. CANE
This author never disappoints when it comes to writing a taboo story with intense chemistry and characters you can’t help but fall in love. I took my time reading Mr. Cane because I wanted it to last. It was an angsty read with so much incredible heat! I love CANE!
Kandy has been obsessed with Cane her entire life. Well…since she was nine. Now at eighteen, she can’t seem to contain it any longer. But he’s off limits!
Cane is a thirty five year old, self-made millionaire. He’s hot, tattooed and beyond sexy. His best friend is Kandy’s dad.
Oh the tangled web!!! Sometimes age isn’t the only obstacle. However, the real question is, how much are they willing to risk to be together?
This was a story I didn’t want to finish but couldn’t wait to find out what happened next. A few surprises that I never saw coming, kept me up late into the night. Now the wait begins for book 2! I NEED more of Mr. Cane.

Review of LOVING MR. CANE
I could not wait to be re-united with Kandy and Cane and this story did not disappoint. This forbidden romance has become one of my all time favorites.
Their story picks up right where Breaking Mr. Cane left off and I won’t be spoiling it for you.
Kandy is struggling to move on and Cane just wants to hang on to her and never let go. If only things were ever easy for them.
Ghosts of the past always seem to find their way back into your life just when it is all coming together.
Candy and Kane share a love that is strong. It overlooks past faults or mistakes and it focuses on the good. It’s unstoppable and unbreakable. It transcends time and distance. It’s forever love and Happily Ever After. I LOVE THEM!
I adored both Kandy and Cane from their first book. This series continues to engage and excite. I really enjoyed the storyline and never quite knowing what direction the author was going to take me. I look forward to the next chapter of their lives.

Review of BEING MRS. CANE
What a perfect ending to this forbidden romance. The road to happily ever after was definitely an uphill battle, but the kind of love Kandy and Cane shared was worth it.
The author never disappoints with her stories. I am always invested in these characters. You feel their sadness, disappointments and their triumphs. You wish and hope that they get to live their dreams.
Seeing Kandy reach all her goals and fulfill her dream, was everything and more. Their love was was epic! Cane truly was everything a girl could want.
If you are a fan of romance with an age gap and forbidden love, this is the series for you.
I read the Cane series back when it was first released, and fell in love with the forbidden love of Cane & Kandy.
Wanting Mr. Cane: 5 stars.
Hot damn! Let’s all bow down to the queen of hot, forbidden love – Shanora Williams!! I knew way back when I read Daddy Black and his Little Knight’s story, Tainted Black, that Shanora had a way of making the taboo, age gap trope something infinitely more beautiful and hotter than ever before. With the release of Wanting Mr. Cane she has truly cemented her reign over this much loved trope.
Kandy was 9 when she first remembered Mr. Cane in her life. Mr. Cane is her daddy’s best friend. He’s hot. He’s obviously older. He’s rich. He’s tattooed. And he brings her something sweet every time he comes over. What the hell else could a girl ever want in a man? Of course, things don’t evolve into something sweeter than candy until she comes of age and morphs into the beautiful young woman she is now at 18. And that’s when their dormant passion flares to life, holy shit does it because he’s a dirty talking, dominant man in the bedroom and she knows what she wants – him. But, of course in the back of their minds is her father, his best friend, and knowing that what they’re doing is wrong and has the potential to kill his relationship with her dad, and ruin both their lives. How can they possibly make something so forbidden work?
“We were a mess. A wild, beautiful, perfect mess, and that made me the happiest girl ever.”
And then, then came that crazy af cliffhanger and now I’m anxiously awaiting Breaking Mr. Cane. It really cannot come soon enough for me because I have got to know what happens next for Quinton and Kandy!!
———————————————————————————————-
Breaking Mr. Cane: 5 stars.
I thought the cliffhanger at the end of Wanting Mr. Cane killed me, it’s got nothing on the the end of Breaking Mr. Cane!!!
At the start of Breaking Mr. Cane, our star-crossed lovers are apart, so very far apart; but still so in love and feeling the after affects of that love. Kandy is attending college and trying to move on. Quinton’s company is taking a tumble on the market, and things are completely unsettled. Have no fear, though, because they find their way back to each other and their love is cemented. And I was swooning and dying because these two, they’re fire, serious fire. They just might have as much a place in my heart as Theo and his Little Knight (Tainted Black) but shhhh don’t tell Theo and Chloe that! But then that crazy cliffhanger happened and now I’m definitely dying because I must, MUST KNOW what happens next, stat, like RIGHT NOW!!
———————————————————————————————-
Loving Mr. Cane: 5 stars.
When Loving Mr. Cane begins, they’re all dealing with the devastating events at the end of Breaking Mr. Cane. Derek is extremely unhappy with both Cane and Kandy, and warns her off Kane “Because I know who he is, I know where he came from.” If that isn’t an ominous sign, I don’t know what is. And Kandy begins to realize how little she really knows Cane. But, have no fear, because Kandy and Cane are meant to be, their kind of love cannot be denied. It can be put off for awhile perhaps, but they can’t be kept from each other forever. When they are allowed to finally be together, talk about another roller coaster! But I loved it when they were together. They finally got to be a real couple.
Things aren’t easy for Kandy Cane, though, because of course not. That wouldn’t be any fun if they had things easy. And honestly? I doubt their lives together will ever be easy. Easier maybe, but not easy, because age gap couples, especially ones where the man is the former best friend of the woman’s father? Yeah, not an easy thing to ever deal with. But, that’s OK, because these two have a love for the ages, and they make it work. I won’t spoil and say what happens to them, just know that someone from Cane’s past comes back and is there, so there for him, for both of them. Some things are resolved, and they get a huge win.

Being Mrs. Cane: 5 stars.
I’ve said it before but I’ll reiterate, Shanora Williams is truly the Queen of forbidden, taboo romance. But in the Cane series, she’s taken taboo and forbidden, and given it a fully realized, fully drawn, epic feel spanning years so that when Kandy Cane reach their final stage on the way to forever, they’re ready, more than ready, to take on whatever may come their way. When I started the journey of of Kandy Jennings and Quinton Cane, I was hooked from the very first page. I’ve read their struggles, their highs and lows, and through it all, their loves has managed to not just survive, but flourish. And here in Being Mrs. Cane, they finally get the happily ever after they’ve worked so hard to obtain. But, Shanora is nothing if not willing to torture her fans, so she doesn’t make things too easy for our couple. Nope, of course not!
“Remember when I said if there was too much peace in my life, a storm would always come rolling by?”
———————————————————————————————-
Have no fear, though, because there is truly a beautiful, happy ending for Quinton and Kandy, they just have to fight to get to it. And when they get to that point? Beautiful, just beautiful. Quinton and Kandy have truly cemented a permanent place in my heart as one of my favorite book couples, ever. And Being Mrs. Cane is the perfect way to give this amazing couple what they’ve fought so hard for – forever.
“You are mine, and I am yours, and it will be that way forever.”
Book 1
I am loving this series. I love taboo reads. I went into it thinking oh the girl is going to be immature. Turns out I was wrong. I thought Kandy knew what she wanted, and while Cane pushed her away, I think he knew it also. Cane also tried to keep pushing her away, and thought Kelly would help that situation. Kelly just made everything worse. I can’t wait to see what happens next!
Book 2
I love this series!!! Ok, I hate all she’s going thru because some that crazy jealousy of her team mate is just straight up crazy. I loved that Cane saved the day, and gave her a place to just be for a minute. I wanted so much for her parents to try and see it for what it was. Kelly is straight up psycho. And now we wait!
Book 3
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.
Forever Kandy Cane.
WOW!!! I seriously loved this series. This isn’t just a typical girl & dads best friend story it’s something much more.
It’s a story you can really sink your teeth into.
I instantly had a lady boner for Cane from the first description of him in the beginning of the series.
This guy has such an air of mystery surrounding him.
You know he has secrets and you want to find out what they are.
Kandy has always had an infatuation with Cane from a young age.
As she grew so did her feelings for him. What started out as harmless puppy love turned into a deep desire that is anything but innocent.
These two will have you squirming in your seat. All the will they won’t they nearly killed me.
I wanted to scream I was terrified for them both, I felt all on edge but excited the entire time. I couldn’t turn the pages fast enough it was an adrenalin rush.
Loved these books, Loved Kandy and trust me you all need Mr Cane in your life, he’s delicious.
Kandy and Cane aren’t purely a physical thing…They’re EVERYTHING!
