 Jessica Lemmon has a great writing style where the characters feel like real people. There are scenes of just banter that feel incredibly organic. It's a real talent to be able to write a scene of just average everyday dialogue and have it feel compelling. It also helps endear me to the characters and really care about their fate. For me, I will put up with a whole lot of bad plot if I genuinely like the characters. Luckily, in the case of Arm Candy I didn't have to. I loved both the characters and the plot immensely. I'll be honest, Arm Candy is pure book candy. It was delightful and sweet but doesn't have a lot of substance. WHICH IS EXACTLY WHAT I LOVED ABOUT IT! It was light and ever so funny with well-rounded characters. I would read a phone book if those components were all present! 
 Our romantic leads are Davis and Grace who we were introduced to in the previous book Eye Candy. I've got to say... I loved Davis and Grace even more than I loved Vince and Jackie. They had a wonderful chemistry between them and I really enjoyed the moments where they were just "being" with each other watching zombie shows or eating potato chips. It was so sweet to see their friendship growing alongside their romance. Also, Davis is just plain wonderful and I have nothing but hearts and rainbows in my soul for him! He's totally my new book boyfriend. Sorry Grace! 
 "I'm like a pinata, but filled with terror instead of candy." 
 So, according to Grace she "has some issues." The whole problem with their relationship was the idea of self-sabotage. You know the adage of "if you don't get attached then you can't get hurt." The problem with that thinking is what do you do when you do get attached? Self-sabotage is a hard cycle to break and I was glad it wasn't the main focus of the story. Yes, it was always there as a niggling little thought in the background but for the most part they were able to move past it. When the inevitable breakup came, it felt rushed but thankfully it was easily resolved. I actually liked that it wasn't drawn out over several chapters of the main couple being miserable. It was only about one real chapter of misery and then by the end of it everything was great again! Thank you Jessica Lemmon for not dwelling on the misery! In the time she didn't dwell on misery, she infused the story with so much humor that I was literally laughing out loud. 
 As for the smut... wow! The steam factor here is off the charts! (Slight spoiler ahead) Davis does this kind of sex hypnosis thing that so hot. He basically tells Grace he's going to count down from 5 and when he gets to 1 she's supposed come. AND IT WORKS! Davis is some kind of sexual wizard! While the smut was (obviously) fantastic and incredibly hot, it also had an air of believability. Yes, Davis and Grace are having mind blowing sex but there isn't any cliche "romancey" talk about how it's the hardest they've ever come or something. The excellent smut speaks for itself and doesn't have to rely on hyperbole to sell it. So maybe this comes down to the whole rule of "show me, don't tell me"? ...I mean that in the least pornographic way. I swear! 
 So like I said, Arm Candy is book candy but in its best form. It's short, sweet, to the point, and filled with smutty delights! I'm so glad I found this series! I can't wait to get my hands of the next book Man Candy but it looks like I will have to wait until next year! I WANT IT NOW! P.S. GRANDMA ROSE IS A GANGSTA!
