Product Description:
SHE WANTED TO BE A HIP-HOP STAR BUT THE STREETS GOT IN THE WAY.
Have you ever laid down with a man and wasn’t sure if you’d ever get back up? Tossed the sheets with a bone-knocking fear that only a hard-core hustler could produce? Sexed him like your life depended on it, because in reality it did? You still with me? Then let’s roll over to my house. Harlem. 145th Street. Grab a seat and brace yourself as I show you the kind of pain that street life and so-called sucess can bring. . . .
Nineteen-year-old Candy Raye Montana, an ex—drug runner for the Gabriano crime family and a former foster child, dreams of becoming a hip-hop superstar, if only someone will discover her talents.
Someone does. Mega music producer and king thug of Harlem, Junius “Hurricane” Jackson, CEO of the House of Homicide recording studio, cuts a deal and puts Candy on the stage. Suddenly she is a hot new artist on the notorious Homicide Hitz record label. Her career takes off and she blazes the charts, but it’s not long before Candy realizes that the man she thought was her knight is nothing more than a cold-blooded nightmare.
Caught between the music and the madness, between the dollars and the deals, Candy belongs to Hurricane–body and soul–and must endure his sadistic bedroom desires while keeping his sexual secrets hidden from the world. But Candy has some strong desires of her own that simply cannot be denied, especially when she finds herself turned on by a brilliant investment baller who just happens to be Hurricane’s right-hand man. Candy longs for her freedom, but if Hurricane gets wind of her betrayal the blowback will be lethal–and not only will she risk losing her recording contract, she just might lose her life.

The story does NOT match up to the cover at all. I thought the book would, perhaps have a story with a seductive woman having control over her life, making her men/man melt with some type of mesmerizing way about her. Not ! The story took me in. But, the woman " candylicker " was a weak woman who got caught up in a bad situation. The guy/music producer she was involved with along with his entourage were both sickly abusive towards women. I mean, some of the scenes were " hott " !. But,the sick - A*&! guy named Hurricane was a total NUT CASE ! I assume because of what happened to him when he was little. You need to read to see. Anyway. I give it (3 ) stars because there was sufficient drama to keep me reading it and then some of the scenes were " off the charts ". But, what dampered things for me was the way Hurricane abused Candylicker sexually ! I prefer Noire's other book ( Thong On fire ). I thought Thong On Fire was totally about a woman having sex with diferrent men. It was not just that. Unlike Candylicker, Thong On Fire had more twists and more story that gave me a few shockers. The book might actually surprise a person and perhaps give one that might be on the wrong track a wake up call.

This book was a bad rerun of G-spot. I wasn't at all impressed with Noire using the same basic format of: abuse, money, girl trapped, in love with another guy - in another book. It just seemed all too familiar. I was dissatisfied and felt all novels after G-spot was forced and lacked originality. I still think she is a good author with a lot of talent and potential. But the same ol' crack head mother theory gets old quickly.

I HAVE TO SAY THIS WAS AN OKAY READ. THE BOOK DOESN'T GET GOOD UNTIL A LITTLE OVER HALF IS READ. I THINK NOIRE'S G-SPOT WAS BETTER. BUT LIKE I SAID ONCE YOU READ A LITTLE OVER HALF THE BOOK IS JUICEY. JUST WISHED IT WAS LIKE THAT ALL THE WAY THROUGH.

SECOND TIME AROUND---I LOVE THIS BOOK, IT IS GOOD FROM BEGINNING TO END. SOME READERS THINK G SPOT WAS BETTER BUT I HAVE TO TRUELY DISAGREE ON THAT. IF YOU ARE SENSITIVE TO VULGAR AND GROSE MEAN numS OF SEXUAL TORTURE, THEN DO NOT READ THIS BOOK. THIS BOOK IS AS REAL AS IT GETS. I READ IT IN ONE DAY BECAUSE IT HAD ME GOING. I DO NOT CONDONE ABUSE TO WOMEN, BECAUSE I AM ONE MYSELF, BUT THIS BOOK MAKES YOU AWARE OF HOW CRUEL SOME PEOPLE CAN REALLY BE. IT SEEMS UNREAL AND SOMEWHAT FICTION, ACTUALLY IT WILL MAKE YOUR STOMACH TURN AT TIMES, BUT THESE THINGS HAPPEN ALL THE TIME AND SOME WOMEN CAN BE IN DENIAL AND NOT HAVE THE CONFIDENCE AND COURAGE TO GET OUT OF THOSE KIND OF RELATIONSHIPS. IN A WAY I LOOK AT THIS BOOK AS A LIFE LESSON AS I DO WITH ALL BOOKS. SOME PEOPLE GO THROUGH THEIR LIFE THINKING THEY ARE INVINCIBLE AND IMMUNE TO THIS KIND OF ABUSE BUT IT CAN HAPPEN. IF YOU READ THIS BOOK WITH A OPEN MIND, TAKE IT AS A LESSON LEARNED. WE SHOULD BE STRONG AND INDEPENDENT ENOUGH TO REALIZE YOU DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS KIND OF CRAP FROM NO ONE. I CAN NEVER GET ENOUGH OF NOIRE, REGARDLESS IF THE PLOT OR STORIES SOUND SIMILAR, ALOT OF THE STORIES OF OUR LIVES WOULD SOUND SIMILAR IF WE TOLD IT. THIS BOOK WAS NOT THE SAME STORY. THE ONLY WAY I CAN COMPARE IT IS THE ABUSIVE MEN, AND DEGRADING WOMEN, ITS STILL A GOOD STORY AND EVERYONE SHOULD READ THIS ---IF YOU ARE 21 AND OVER--- IT WILL OPEN YOUR EYES AND KEEP THEM OPEN, YOU WON'T EVEN STOP THINKING ABOUT THE DETAILS FOR YEARS TO COME. I KNOW I DO THATS WHY I HAD TO REREAD SOME CHAPTERS AGAIN AND ITS BEEN ABOUT TWO YEARS LATER.
