 I didn't really know what to expect before reading Eye Candy by Jessica Lemmon. I knew it was going to be a romantic comedy and probably have some decent smut. I mean just look at the cover model... There's no way in the world that there won't be sexy times between those covers! It's scientifically impossible! What I ended up getting was a surprisingly funny piece of book candy. You know... book candy: its sweet, quick to consume, and it leaves you with a good taste in your mouth. Was it ground breaking literature? No. But, was it fun to read? Absolutely. 
 Eye Candy is a friends to lovers office romance between Vince and Jackie. Vince has it bad for Jackie and Jackie has it bad for Vince. However, both of them are completely oblivious to the fact that there is a mutual attraction between them. I think both of them are probably a bit gun-shy due to the fact that they both have already gone through a divorce. If I'm going to be 100% honest (which I always am) it was unbelievable to see the extent to which two people would act against their own best interests. It's like if someone gave them the wonderful love cupcake that they've always wanted and once they took a bite they just spit it out on the ground. Seriously, these two are the most awkward daters I have ever seen. Either date each other or don't because this back and forth behavior is exhausting! 
 Vince has this elaborate plan to win over Jackie that involves tutoring her in the art of seducing her crush. In fact, his plan goes so far as to actively encourage Jackie to date the other guy while going on "fake" but not really "fake" dates with Vince on side to "learn." When he finally gets Jackie, he immediately goes back to the whole date coaching pretense rather than just being together in a relationship with Jackie. I cannot find any apparent logic in his machinations. It would have been incredibly easier if he just told asked her out on an actual date and then pursued a relationship with her, you know, like a normal person. Instead he decides of this ass backward approach that is so complicated it could only end in disaster. I just wanted to smack him upside the head and ask him if he really wants Jackie or not? Every time he got her he decided to push her away immediately after. You can't have your wonderful love cupcake and eat it too, Vince! However, throughout all of his schemes Vince remains utterly charming. He's funny and adorable in a dorky kind of way. So, while I find his methods insane I still found him strangely endearing in his earnestness. 
 Jackie on the other hand wasn't nearly as endearing to me as Vince. She spent so much of the story either clueless or whining. I wish I would have gotten to see more of her fun side that Vince is in love with. There was mention of a time they spent together where Jackie got drunk and toilet papered a horse. (You heard that right, a HORSE!)When I was reading in her perspective I just didn't see her the same way that Vince did. I'm not 100% certain that having the perspective change between her and Vince was really necessary. I did enjoy getting her side of the story but she so much less engaging than Vince that I couldn't wait for her parts to end so that I could get back to Vince. 
 As for the smut, it was believable. There weren't any crazy scenarios or positions that weren't doable in real life. Regardless of whether the smut was something that could happen in real life or not, it still remained adequately steamy. There definitely was some passion between Vince and Jackie. Also, side note, all of the sex scenes were from Vince's perspective so I was actually really pleased with how they came out. HA! "Pleased with how they CAME out" ... get it? 
 There's nothing worse than a romantic comedy that isn't funny. Luckily, Eye Candy was laugh out loud funny! I was really impressed with Jessica Lemmon's sense of humor and comedic timing. Maybe I'm biased because I adored Vince so much but the way his brain worked was hilarious. I just want to throw in one quote as an example of how funny and dorky and adorable he was: 
 "How am I doing?" Jackie whispers as I close the front door behind me and flip the deadbolt. "Do you have any pointers now that I've successfully lured a man into my house?" 
 "Yes, but every one of them involves you stripping naked while I watch, which is probably less about my coaching and more about my boner." 
 Overall, I quite enjoyed Eye Candy. It was a fun little book candy delight. I'm excited to go on to the next book in the series Arm Candy.
