Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Loveswept
Series: Real Love, Book 2
Last call! At the end of the night, a clean-cut hunk and a rebellious bartender act on their unlikely chemistry in this frisky standalone novel from the author of Eye Candy.
Davis: I’ve had my eye on Grace Buchanan for a while now. Unlike the bubbly blondes I usually date, the feisty, flame-haired bartender both intrigues and bewilders me. Something about Grace—the tattoos? the nose ring?—makes every part of me sit up and beg. There’s only one problem: She hates me. Trading insults and one-liners has become our M.O. But when Grace bets me that I can’t get a date with a non-blonde if my life depends on it, I’m determined to prove her wrong by landing the ultimate non-blonde: her.
Grace: I’m used to regulars hitting on me, and I’ve turned them all down, except for one: Davis Price. I like giving him a hard time, and he’s kind of cute in his suit and tie—if you’re into that kind of thing. Anyway, I don’t care how many blondes he takes home . . . until one of them sidles up to him in my bar. Nuh-uh. But after my little bet with Davis backfires, our first date lands us in the sack. So does the second. And the third. Neither of us wants more than the best sex of our lives. The trouble is, it’s not a question of what I want. It’s what I need. And what I need is Davis.

Davis and Grace are hot together!
Arm Candy is the second book in the Real Love series but it can be read as a standalone with no problem. The story is told in first-person POV, alternating between Davis and Grace. Like the first book, I had just a bit of trouble getting into this story and I think it’s the first-person POV. It has never been my favorite POV to read and I think I must have to be in the right mood to really enjoy it.
After I got into the story I really enjoyed it. Davis frequents the bar where Grace works but she’s not his type – or is she? Grace has watched Davis come and go with a flock of different blondes so she makes a bet with him that he won’t ask out a woman who isn’t blonde. Boy is she surprised when he takes her up on the bet and asks her out!
These two really throw sparks off of each other and their chemistry in the sack is off-the-charts hot. Davis has been burned badly by a woman in the past and he is surprised by how close he lets himself get to Grace and the things he reveals to her.
Grace is used to being let down by men so there’s no way she’s going to fall for Davis – until she does. Gradually she and Davis build a relationship but then she gets cold feet and things go all wrong.
I really enjoyed the witty banter between these two. Davis seems almost too good to be true and I hate the Grace can’t seem to let herself completely trust him. This was an entertaining and mostly lighthearted story and I did end up enjoying it a lot. If first-person POV is your cup of tea you should really like this one.

My journey started several years before the release of my first book. Disenchanted by my sales job, I began searching for that “thing” I was put on the planet to do. I wanted to leap out of bed in the morning and be excited about my job. Surely, that existed for me…right? YES. Enter: writing super sexy heroes and sassy, fun heroines. I always knew I would be a writer or an artist, that my creativity would find a home with other people. It’s an honor and blessing to be able to share what I do with readers. Thank you for being here.
