Candy Man

De: Amy Lane

Narrado por: Philip Alces

Adam Macias has been thrown a few curve balls in his life, but losing his VA grant because his car broke down and missing a class was the one that struck him out. One relative away from homelessness, he has taking the bus to Sacramento, where his cousin has offered a house-sitting job and a new start. He has one goal, and that's to get his life back on track. Friends, pets, lovers need not apply.

Finn Stewart takes one look at Adam as he's applying to Candy Heaven and decides he's much too fascinating to leave alone. Finn is bright and shiny - and has never been hurt. Adam is wary of his attention from the very beginning - Finn is dangerous to every sort of peace Adam is forging, and Adam may just be too damaged to let him in at all.

But Finn is tenacious, and Adam's new boss, Darrin, doesn't take bullshit for an answer. Adam is going to have to ask himself which is harder - letting Finn in or living without him? With the holidays approaching, it seems like an easy question, but Adam knows from experience that life is seldom simple. And the world seldom cooperates with hope, faith, or the plans of cats and men.

Cute funny and full of life

Any additional comments?

I feel this is a very promising start to a series. It definitely made me want to read the following books.
It was a lovely and light hearted story with a lot of interesting characters.

Good story

I really enjoyed this audio. I like that this was a bit more lighthearted than most of Amy’s books I’ve listened to. Adam and Finn were such a cute couple. I enjoyed Philip’s narration. He brought a lot of joy to this book.

Not to sweet

I usually like Amy's more angst-y stories, but I really liked this story. Finn is bubbly sweet without being sticky, and Adam is down but not out. Looking forward to more of this series.

Sweet 🍭🍬🍫

Amy Lane is one of my go to authors. I love everything about her. I am particularly happy when she writes with humor. Candy Man has that in spades, but that's not to say that there isn't any of her trademark angst and characters that you'd like to see swinging over the Golden Gate Bridge with a school of sharks underneath, waiting for the rope to snap. Adam and Finn are adorable and the candy store crew are people that I would like to meet. So glad that Adam has at least one family member who knows his worth and loves him unconditionally - who BTW, has his own story that I can't wait to hear. Philip, as always, is wonderful to listen to. Not sure who chooses her narrators, but they seem to get it right most of the time. This is another delicious offering that satisfied my sweet tooth without the risk of cavities 😋

A sweet story

This was a good, sweet story with likable characters. But man, did Adam ever have some issues. If there was ever a character in desperate need of therapy it was him. I felt sorry for Finn who had to shoulder the burden of healing Adam who constantly pushed him away because of all his issues. But don’t let that turn you off because it’s still a good story! The narration was great.
