Candy Girl is the first book I've read by author Eve Vaughn. This book is a novella so it was a quick read. Julie Bennett is tired of being everyone's pushover. Her co-workers gave her the nickname, Candy Girl, because she keeps a candy dish on her desk. Gabe, Julie's boss, has lusted after her since day one. And he hates how the co-workers take advantage of Julie's kindness and generosity. Gabe is there for her when Julie is betrayed by her boyfriend and cousin. He's there for her and sees it as the perfect opportunity to explore his attraction and feelings for her.I enjoyed the book a lot. I felt sorry for Julie. She's the nice girl who can't tell people no. I saw Gabe as Prince Charming, saving the girl from her wicked step-mother. In this case, her mean co-workers. The attraction and chemistry between Julie and Gabe was believable and hot. This is another book featuring an interracial couple (BW/WM) but while reading the book, race is not an issue. The sex scenes are steamy! Have a cold glass of water nearby while reading.
