ARC received from author for an honest review

Candy likes control, and the holds on to that control with an iron fist. It is not a bad kind of control though, so it didn't make her unlikable.

Trent was her tormenter through high school and when he falls back into her life, she is not a happy camper! And she lets him know it.

And I loved it.

I adored the way they circled around each other, and the way they saw how they had both changed since high school. They have real issues to deal with now, and they need to lean on each other to deal - adulting for the win!

I need to get to Candy's bar. I need to meet all the weird (in a great way) and wonderful patrons of Hard Candy - particularly Kevin!

I am glad they gave their unlikely romance a chance, and could move on from their pasts.
