Candace avoids being around Tad because he hates her and let her know to stay away from him and his daughter who is enamored with Candace. His daughter always asks about Auntie Candy when his family get together. When Candace's friends find out about Tad's behavior, they threaten him as Candace and his sister-in-law are best friends. When Candace comes to dinner, he follows her into the kitchen and shows how much he does not hate her. What is Candace to do?

I enjoyed this story. I loved the dominance Tad has over Candace while she showed she could hold her own against him. I liked the two person points-of-view through the story as I knew what each was thinking about the other as well as their own behavior. I did not like Tad's secretary nor his not telling her he was not interested in her. I did like Abs and Cade, Candace's best friends. They call her on the carpet when necessary. I loved Talia, Tad's daughter. She was a doll.

I look forward to reading the rest of the series. ( )
