I Want CandySusan Donovan Candace Carmichael was just getting used to the lavish life when everything went sour. Now the down-on-her-luck real estate agent is back in Bigler, North Carolina, jobless and illegally rooming with her her mother in a swank retirement community. All this makes her wonder why she ever considered her BFF Cheri’s invitation to move back home. Life in this small mountain town may not be as glamorous as the one she had in Tampa, but she knows a girl can’t be too choosy in this market. Besides, everyone’s happy to welcome Candy back—especially one handsome widower named Turner…Turner has grown up to be one fine-looking piece of man candy—and looks even tastier in his sheriff’s uniform. Maybe that’s why she couldn’t resist kissing him when he pulled her over for a traffic violation. Even if a relationship was part of Candy’s business plan, Turner would be off limits—he still wears his wedding ring, four years after his wife died. If falling in love too fast is a crime, Candy is soon guilty as charged and ready to be fingerprinted. But is she ready to lock away her dreams and hand Turner the keys to her heart?

2.5 StarsCute, lighthearted chick-flick romance. I haven't decided if the fact that the sex scenes were (unintentionally) balls out hilarious is a good thing or if the weird dialogue between the two romantic interests makes for a clunky read.
Good story about a mixed race couple and the problems they faced even today along with their personal issues. I liked that they were friends first and honest with each other. Candy unhappily returns to her hometown, flat broke, driving on fumes when she is pulled over by her old friend sheriff Tur...
