In Her Candy Jar

A Romantic Comedy (Svensson Brothers Series, Book 1)

De: Alina Jacobs

Narrado por: Alexander Cendese, Samantha Summers

I am always fully in control of my company, my family, and my life. Even my diet is perfectly regulated - that includes no candy.

Except when my new assistant sprays chocolate sauce all over me and passes out drunk in my car, it marks the point where my control over everything starts to unravel.

Josie

My new billionaire boss looks like he needs something sweet in his life. I graciously offered to let him stick his hand in my candy jar. It has salt water taffy and gummy worms! I can't believe he thought it was inappropriate!

In an effort to redeem myself, I set out to show Mace that I wasn't a clumsy, car-destroying, electronic-killing, accident-prone, walking disaster. That lasted all of five minutes before I set his seaweed and quinoa lunch on fire. Yeah, I didn't know that was a thing either.

I can tell I'm a bad influence. I see him lick his lips when we're alone. I just have to convince him to take one little bite.... Because once he has a taste, he's going to want to stick his whole face in my candy jar!

Subpar

I’ve read the pumpkin patch and Meg’s story and really liked both of them. This one lacked a story and instead just added constant sex. Going to try next in series I want to see how Megan and Hunter end up.

Couldn't finish it

No woman is that good at marketing and that stupid at life. When she filled the electric car with gas, you lost me. I couldn't listen to another minute.

Alina Jacobs is a wonderful author!

I listened to this series completely out of order. This is the first in the series but I listened to In Her Pumpkin Patch and On His Paintbrush before this. The stories still translated wonderfully and they are all lovely stories.

I will say all of the books have the same plot it seems. I would like to see a little variety in that area, but all in all they are all lovely stories.

Josie and Mace are the OG couple of the series and they set the bar high. If you read/listen to these books in order they truly do get better with each couple.

a fun fast read

You have a huge family, a crabby new boss, scam artists, friends, unfriendly coworker who wishes you fired.

Billionaire, workplace, small town romcom

Billionaire, workplace, uptight vs YOLO, small town, rom com and hot amazing spice!
This is a series of brothers from a LARGE family where each book a brother will get their HEA.

I love this type of book. No angst, comedy, hot billionaires with hot spice thrown in. Nice and light. Is it for everyone? No. But it is my cup of hot chocolate. I don't want to be sad or anxious with the books I read.

I listened to the audiobook of this, and loved it! I think that hearing the voices gives you so much more as a reader. You really can feel the emotions. You connect much quicker to the characters as well. These narrators were top notch.

This book is the first in the series and can be read as a complete stand alone. You will get some fun little Easter eggs though if you have read some of the other series. But they are just minor, so if you haven't read the books you won't miss anything. But if you have the Easter eggs will give you quite a giggle.

Sugar Sweet

The story was so much fun to listen to. I read the book first and listening to narrator’s bring the characters to life was thrilling. This is one HOT read so be prepared for lots of sweet references.

DNF they were both so annoying

I didn’t even get to the point that they were together. They were both so annoying. The voice actors are great but the story was just not there.

No matter

No matter how good looking or rich a person can be they also can be insecure.

Some interesting candy

I'm not quite sure what to say about this story except that it was very unexpected. I eyeball read a few of Alina's books a long time ago so didn't really remember what I was getting into with the audiobooks. The writing is a little awkward and unrealistic in parts but overall it's pretty damn dirty! Once they get down to it they don't stop, and I take no issue with that 😉 The amount of bad luck the main characters deal with is a little ridiculous. I would classify this as a cute if a little strange yet sexy romcom.

The narration was a little difficult for me. The male narrator was fine for the main and side male characters, but his tone and wine for the main female character was a little hard to get past. The female narrator has a beautiful smokey voice so the two versions of her didn't really jive. They each did a good job on their own characters though. 2.5/5 story and 3/5 narration.

Even though it wasn't an amazing experience for me it was still a fun story. I will still be trying others in the series. I enjoyed my introduction to the Svensson Brothers and am quite curious to see how the others fine their HEAs.
