Book Review: Man Candy by Lila Monroe

Man Candy (Billionaire Bachelors, #4)

Private investigator Nick Chambers is six foot two of chiseled, hunky trouble. He needs a fake fiancée to help him go undercover at the hottest candy company around, and he picks... me?!

OK, he thinks I’m the safe, reliable choice. But what he doesn’t know is that I’ve been waiting for the chance to get out from behind my desk and indulge my Bond girl fantasies. Goodbye, Moneypenny. Hello, femme fatale! 

It’s my chance to take a risk and prove I’m more than just a secretary… but I didn’t bank on the sizzlin’ hot chemistry and Nick’s lick-able abs. And between our wild cover stories, after-hours investigation, and not-so-fake romps, the line between fiction and reality is melting faster than a Hershey’s kiss in the summer sun. 

Can our delicious fake relationship turn into something real? Or will my sexy sugar rush crash before we can unravel the chocolate conspiracy? Find out in the latest BILLIONAIRE BACHELOR romance from Lila Monroe!



Man Candy is an enjoyable rom-com with a dash of intrigue.  How can you not love a story that includes a sexy PI, an office manager with a penchant for James Bond and lots of chocolate. I read it in one sitting. 

Nick Chambers needs a fake fiancée while investing a case of corporate espionage.  Where better to find a fake fiancée then at The Agency.  However Nick isn't interested in the usual line-up, he has his eye on Alice Jones, The Agency's office manager. 

Alice has been hiding behind a desk for too long. She has bigger dreams. When Alice is given the opportunity to play fake fiancée as part of an investigation she jumps in head first. She doesn't want to miss out on one of her career fantasies. 

The stakes are high as Nick and Alice investigate a possible chocolate recipe theft. Will their chemistry get in the way of finding the culprit? 

Man Candy had me craving a chocolate truffles and planning my next James Bond marathon.  I loved the chemistry and the intrigue. 5 Stars

Review: Man Candy by Melanie Harlow

Man Candy

He’s back.

Not just back in town, but living in the flat right beneath mine. And he looks good enough to eat, which is just one more reason to stay away from him.

But I can’t resist.

The sex is incredible (pretty sure we’ve shaken the house right off its foundation), but he can’t fool me—not this time. A degree in marketing and five years in advertising have taught me that “true love” is a fairy tale used to sell lipstick, diamonds, and perfume. It doesn’t exist.

He thinks I’m wrong, and he wants to prove it.

I think he’s crazy, so I dare him to try.

It might be the biggest mistake of my life.


I love, love, love Man Candy. Just when I needed a pick-me-up, Man Candy delivered. It has the right amount of humor, angst and heart. The story centers around two characters who had one moment ten years prior that left a lasting mark.

Quinn Rusek is back after one awkward moment ten years ago that may have been the beginning of Jaime's fears. Now Quinn's back, re-evaluating life after his mother's passing, a life that he wants to include Jaime in.

Jaime has created rules to keep her heart safe, "No sleepovers, No excessive cuddling. No getting mad if I don't call or text back some days, no leaving things at my apartment, no talking about feelings," She doesn't believe in love, it's too scary. She treats men like Man Candy, sex with no strings attached.

Quinn has other plans, he's out to make Jaime believe in love.

A very unusual twist on the expected male/female roles. It's men who usually have the fear of commitment. There are articles written in every women's magazine about getting your man to commit. In this story it's Jaime who struggles with commitment, she doesn't want a relationship. She fears becoming like her mother, falling into a pseudo relationship similar to her parents. Quinn has his work cut out for him. The story isn't all serious, there are plenty of funny moments and steamy fun.  5 "Package! It looked like a baby elephant was trying to escape!" Stars.
