Joel and Jethro. Roommates. Total hunks. Inseparable friends. Hot as hell.
Meet my fantasy boyfriends. Aren’t they just the sexiest, cutest thing? I know, right? They totally are. They are hot, too hot for a quiet – and obsessed with them – girl working in a bookshop.
That’d be me, by the way.
There’s also the tiny problem of Joel wanting another girl. And as for Jethro, well ...more

Poor heroine (Candy.)
She's literally the third wheel in a love affair between the two heroes and she doesn't even realize it.
And I don't know how many times I'm gonna say this, but I absolutely HATE when authors misrepresent bisexuals, as "needing" both genders. It's absolutely disgusting how many times authors think that bisexuals are people who find one of the genders "not enough," therefore needing both to be satisfied...
I'm so fucking tired of it!😡
Can't they just be bisexual without the whol ...more

I'm not sure how I feel about Candy Boys. I absolutely loved Candy, Joel and Jet. All three together? Not so much. I found myself wanting Candy to go on somewhere.
Candy was a cute nerdy girl that had pretty much been dreaming of being with both Joel and Jet and when she actually gets the chance she is beside herself. There is no way that she is letting this opportunity pass her by.
Joel is confused and a bit awkward. He likes to watch and direct the "scenes" and then participates.

Candace Amanda Riley, you got this...
This book felt sooo good! Like you are invited to a dinner party and you are served cotton candy and marshmallows for appetizer, chocolate lava cake with vanilla ice cream for main course and strawberries and cream for dessert. Pure heaven!
I don’t know about you, but I certainly have a sweet tooth.

You will get the banana reference once you have read it ;)
Straight off the bat I am a little jealous of Candy but not because she has two hunky men no.
Because come on, Who here would not like to work in a bookstore?? lol
Candy is nerdy, curvy, wears glasses and writes a secret blog of an evening that stars her two fantasy or not so fantasy men. It has been getting a lot of attention lately and when Candy hears she could meet one in person she jumps at the chance. Cand ...more

The WORST book I read this year !!
First of all, the writting is atrocious. I looks like it is written by a sixteen years old fan girl. Wich I guess is fiting since Candy, the main character act like one too . There are a lot of "OHMYGOD OH MY GOD" in this book, and the way Candy acts is suppose to be cute and shy I guess but comes of as awkward and totally ridiculous. I liked her name, but I hated that book !

There are some great lines that make this book lol BUT I can't read a book about a menage when the two Hero's have zero confidence. One is suppose to be a player but can't figure out how to ask the girl out. The other constantly throw fits about how he's not good enough. For a book like this to work they have to know what they want and go after it, plus they have to be comfortable enough to share a woman. These two Hero's aren't together and and have no past sexual experience together o ...more

Im like 9...10? deep in bad kindle unlimited books now wondering if there will ever be a light at the end of the tunnel. Admittedly part of this was just a personal taste thing. I didn't realize the MCs were just out of college. I usually go for books with older characters (or at least more mature ones) to avoid the juvenile things that tend to occur in NA type books. First strike was 1st person POV which almost always makes the writing feel more juvenile. Second strike was a h who was kinda cre

The packed passion in this book is so what i needed right now and i was so excited i could not put it down and candy aww nerdy candy she totally reminded me of Penelope Garcia she is all that kept

Goddammn, is it hot in here or what?!
Candance/Candy-a nerdy girl with a long dreamed fantasy of being in a clinch with two studs-Joel/J Kingsley and Jethro/Jet Connors, two best friends, two people dealing with concerns of stigma and rejection while they figure out that the physical attraction might be just that, a chemical reaction, a sexual experiment, a curiosity of nature, exploration of sexuality and what it stands for...well until it starts to develop into somethin ...more

I was so shocked by how much I enjoyed this book. its not only hot as heck but its funny, sweet, and really well written. there were some moments that I had wished were a little more developed but over all super good read. The men were faithful to each other and our h which is always a win! I would have liked to see more of the guys they had such a strange relationship that it would have been sweet to dive a littler deeper. but if your looking for a solid ménage...def pick this up be mindful tha ...more

Ladies, be sure to have a few extra pair of panties on hand before you start this book. You're gonna need them!
Candy has a vivid imagination and a healthy sexual appetite - so when she first saw Joel and his friend Jethro a few years ago, they unknowingly became participants in the serial blog she was writing. And this wasn't just any blog. It was steamy. Sensual. Taboo. It was every filthy fantasy that she's ever had.

This is a really good ménage book it's slightly different in that the two men aren't in a romantic relationship but have s deep friendship. Candy comes into their lives and it stirs feelings in both Joel and Jethro. I loved the gradually awakening of the guys it's done slowly and sensitively their scenes are tender loving and sensual and when you through Candy into the mix they are hot hot hot. Great story.

Author: Jo Raven
Series: standalone spin-off of Micah
Genre: erotic romance
Themes: menage
Heat: 4/5
Rating: 4/5
I found this to be a wonderfully refreshing deviation from Raven's typical work. She tends to have a particular formula used in many of her other books, yet this one, whilst maintaining aspects of this, manages to come out and be her strongest release yet.

3.25 stars. This was an okay read. There were parts I liked and parts I didn't like as much. This was Candy, Joel, and Jet/Jethro's book. Candy is a book blogger and reviewer who works in a bookstore. She has crushed on Joel and Jethro from afar for years. They are hot best friends that went to her college. She liked them so much that she made up sexy stories about being in menage relationship with them and posted them (as fiction) on her blog, Candy Boys. But her fiction starts to come true whe

If I'm completely honest, the only reason I picked up this book is because MMF releases are as rare as February 29th. I regretted my decision as soon as I started reading.
The first issue I have with the book is the fanfic. I love fanfics, I binge-read them for years. However, I am strongly against real person fanfictions. I think they cross the line into sexual harassment, amongst other things. The main character, Candy, writes smut starring a guy she was in lust with in college, his best friend ...more

I love a well-written menage and I get especially excited when it happens to be a m/m/f menage. Taking this into account, Candy Boys by Jo Raven was a perfect book for me and I was very excited to read it.

I just LOVE Menage a trois books. Fact. Even better when it's m/m/f and one of the men are in denial!
This is an extremely H.O.T story. I was a bit 'meh' at the beginning of the story, but was quickly sucked in.
I was panting like a horny teenager and having to stop reading to calm down a bit. Well written and an absorbing love story. Made my heart go boom. I even put my kindle down three chapters from the end because I didn't want it to end. This is a seriously sexy, red hot, ...more

This book needs some serious editing. The blurb sounded interesting, but the story did not pull me in.
There were too many things going on: the fanfic, the family drama (murder and the police closes the file?), the non existent high school diploma, the internalized homophobia (my son is no faggot), the college sex scandal (just a foto, really?), the sexual dysfunction (where did it come from?), but what irritated me most were the sloppy written sex scenes: Candy sits on Jet’s lap impaled on his ...more

So I have finally popped my Jo Raven cherry!!
I have heard many great things about Jo from fellow book pals, so when the oppportunity came up to read an arc of Candy Boys I grabbed the opportunity.
So In Candy Boys, we have Candy, she's sweet, nerdy, funny and a sexy little minx deep down. She writes a blog, a very funny, raunchy blog telling stories of her fantasies with J one and J two.......but can these fantasies of hers happen in real life, when she actually meets the real J one and J two, ...more
