Resumen del Editor

Raine Harper is in love with Wade Gates. But Wade likes women who are model thin, and Raine is model thin, plus a whole lot of pounds. Desperate to make him love her, she trains just a little too hard and passes out in the arms of superstar movie star Dirk Adams.

Dirk thinks Raine's junk in the trunk is perfect and proposes to make Wade jealous by becoming her pretend boyfriend. Pretend soon seems very real. Is Dirk a great actor, or is something really developing between Raine and the movie star?

Five Wishes...A happy ending is only a coin toss away.

Very funny listen

I loved this short story. It was both funny and suspenseful. I have read other books by the author, so I knew the writing style. Angie Hickman is a new performer to me. I thought she added a lot to the story with her expressions and the way she said things, not necessarily what she said. My review is not a synopsis of the book, but rather my opinion of it.

So funny

Would you consider the audio edition of Man Candy to be better than the print version?

Yes. I read this book before I listened but I kind of forgot about it. Listening reminded me of how funny it was. I can see myself listening to this again.

Which scene was your favorite?

When Raine's Dad and brothers wanted to wrestle Dirk.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Laughing. So many parts made me laugh.

Any additional comments?

I really enjoyed this book. It was short but so funny and cute. At the end you get a glimpse of the next book in the series which I also read but I think I might listen to that one too. If you want something short, sweet and funny, then this is for you.

Need A LOL time? This is it

I got this book via audiobook boom. Although this is a romance it is mostly comedy. The H/h get into and out of some crazy situations. The voice of the h grated on my nerves but the story was good. To be in love with someone from kindergarten and then to actually find your forever love while trying to impress the man you thought you should love made for some very funny moments. I listened to the book in one sitting while I completed crocheting a hat. It will make you laugh out loud at times.

Fun Romantic Comedy

Any additional comments?

Raine is on a mission and is "in training". Wade, the man she has been in love with for years, is back in town. Wade likes his women skinny and Raine is more full-figured, so she is determined to lose weight to get him to notice her. When she passes out while running, she is rescued by a man that she recognizes as Dirk Adams, the mega movie star. He concocts a plan to make Wade jealous by posing as her boyfriend and the fun begins.

Man Candy is Book 2 in the Five Wishes series and is a standalone. This was such a fun listen and I found myself laughing more than once. The bear scene was hilarious! I also liked that there was an important message in the story. If a man doesn't love you the way you are, he isn't worth your time. Never change to please someone else because there will always be someone who already thinks you're perfect. The narrator did a great job with pacing and character voices. I would recommend Man Candy.

well worth a credit

I was gifted this audio ARC for a honest and unbiased review from the author/narrator.
Elise Sax did a wonderful job of telling this story. She makes a great point of saying if a man doesn't love you the way you are, he isn't worth your time. Never change to please someone else because there will always be someone who already thinks you're perfect. There were times I laughed out loud at this book.
Angie Hickman was brilliant with her telling of this story.
I highly recommend this audio book to anyone who loves a good book.

Short cute

This is a cute short story. A little sex thrown in for those who like that too. I received this book at no charge in exchange for an honest review.

Funny Romance

This was a funny romance that had me laughing out loud several times. It fell a little flat for me when Dirk/Adam and Raine eventually got together and had sex, Their speech and the description was rather raunchy and seemed to me a little out of the humorous character of the rest of the book. I would listen to it again for the laughs, but I'd skip the last 30 minutes of the book.

The narration was good. Elise hit all the humorous notes spot on, and the delivery was smooth, relaxed, and perfectly paced.

Quick, funny, easy romantic listen

What did you love best about Man Candy?

I love the author's writing style. She has a great sense of humor and I love the inner dialogue of her main character Raine.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I love Dirk, he has sweet but also had the "hero complex" going on.

Have you listened to any of Angie Hickman’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

no, this was my first Angie Hickman performance so I can't compare it to any other.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

yes, it was a very easy listen that I could listen to in one sitting. It was funny and I couldn't out it down.

Any additional comments?

This was a very funny and cute romantic story. It had me laughing out loud at times and even had tears running down my face from laughing so hard at one point. This was my first book by this author and I will be sure to check out others by her. My only regret is that the book is so short, I like longer books but for a nice quick listen this is a good recommendation.
