About this listen
Vali Erickson is the classic middle child - misunderstood, underestimated, and overlooked. He’s fine with it. Really. The overlooked part is actually serving him well during this phase of life.
He’s in Green Valley in an effort to fly under the radar and regroup after a life-altering blow to his heart and ego. The last thing he’s looking for is a woman to warm his bed until one throws him to the mat and rocks his world.
Margaret O’Neal is an only child who has led a sheltered life. She’s used to being a wallflower. Her ability to blend into the background is what allows her to maintain her anonymity as a gossip columnist for the Green Valley Ledger.
Since the Ericksons moved to town, she's never felt more inspired, especially with the newest addition. Vali Erickson is the definition of eye candy - devastatingly handsome with muscles for days - giving her plenty to report about.
The more Maggie observes, the more she finds herself wanting things she’s only read about in romance novels.
Admiring Vali from afar is good enough for her until their paths cross and she finds herself trying to stay afloat in uncharted territory - no labels, no promises, and way out of her comfort zone.
Will this arrangement be what finally breaks her out of her shell, or will her heart be a casualty of the Viking Invasion?
Eye Candy is a full-length contemporary romance, and can be listened to as a standalone. Audiobook number three in the Fighting For Love series, Green Valley Chronicles, Penny Reid Book Universe.

Story
I'm Levi Buchanan, and until five years ago, I thought the legend of my family's curse was a load of crazy, Southern nonsense. No curse can make you fall in love at first sight. No curse can force a true, deep, passionate, all-consuming love that will haunt you all the days of your life. Then I met Jocelyn Abernathy and I realized how completely wrong I was. The problem is, Jocelyn guards her feelings like well-armed soldier. She's the most beautiful, stubborn, infuriating woman I've ever met. Every time she talks, I want to kiss the living daylights out of her. But I can't.

Story
Naomi Winters will be 40 soonish, and she’s only been with one man. One night. One time. Long ago. She believes everything happens for a reason, and the universe spoke about Nathan Ryder. Nathan Ryder isn’t the same man who hightailed his bike out of Green Valley, 18 years ago. As a rule breaker, women are one area he acts a fool. Case in point, the local librarian. He can’t get a read on her, but she’s one risk he’s willing to take. Again.

Dawn Botstein is doing just fine after her divorce, thank you very much. She’s got her yarn store to run, her house to herself for the first time in her life, and no use for men anymore. That is, she didn’t until the hottie silver fox who walks into her store turns out to be her old high-school crush - the guy who rejected her 30 years ago. No way is she going to lose her head over him this time, no matter how well he wears that salt-and-pepper lumberjack beard.

Former beauty queen Ashley Winston’s preferred coping strategy is escapism. She escaped her Tennessee small town, loathsome father, and six brothers eight years ago. However, when a family tragedy forces her to return home, Ashley can’t escape the notice of Drew Runous—local Game Warden, bear wrestler, philosopher, and everyone’s favorite guy. Drew’s irksome philosophizing in particular makes Ashley want to run for the skyscrapers, especially since he can’t seem to keep his exasperating opinions— or his soulful poetry, steadfast support, and delightful hands— to himself.

fantastic
definitely read the previous books in this series before this one, and you will not be disappointed! loved the main characters and the Erickson brothers. Vali...wow. pretty much too good to be true? but still loved it. Maggie i liked too but maybe a little too sheltered. the narration was well done, I don't think I've listened to either one before and especially liked Aaron Shedlock. well done. definitely recommend and give full stars!! please continue with Ozzy and Vigo!

I loved meeting Vali and although I've lived all the brothers, he's my favorite.
I liked how there were different levels to the story and I kept being surprised by the characters(in the best way).

Good story overall
The story was fun and sweet. The only complaint I had was about the female narrator. She had this annoying affected breath sound (as best as I can describe it) at the end of nearly every sentence. It was so distracting and extremely annoying. I will avoid all books by her in the future.

not like the first 2 books
both readers in this audio book were terrible....no southern accent just annoying she sounded like a snob and he had this nasal thing going...the storyline
was very juvenile reminded me of books I read as a tween due to the voices I actually skipped through all the sex scenes ....
