Wanting Mr. Cane

Wanting Mr. Cane by Shanora Williams
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

One of my favorite 'TABOO' Reads yet!

5 Forbidden Stars!!



“Doesn’t matter what kind of shit we go through, you’ll always be mine, Kandy. Doesn’t matter how fucked up the situation is, or how wrong it fucking feels…you are mine.” I let my lips touch the shell of her ear. “Don’t you ever forget that, you understand?”

“If you really want me,” he continued, “kneel for me. Right now.”

“You’ll do anything for me, won’t you?” “Yes,” I vowed. “Good, because you’ll be doing a lot more for me tonight, little one.”





Quinton Cane is a 35 year old CEO, bazillionaire who owns a Wine and Chocolates company called Tempt. Kandy is a 18 year old fresh out of high school softball star with beauty and a 1 year ride to Notre Dame. These two know each other because Kandy's dad, Derick the police man, is best friends with Cane. Kandy has had a crush on Cane ever since she first laid eyes on him at 9 years old even though she didn't know it was a crush at the time.
Cane has never looked at Kandy in anyway other than his best friends daughter. Until one night when Kandy decides to force him to change his perspective. Cane basically feels that he owes everything to Derrick and he really is his best and only real friend, so to say that his feelings for Kandy is a complication is an glaring understatement.
And if the whole - forbidden relationship, could loose my BFF forever - thing isn't enough drama for you? Enter Kelly! Cane's - not really girlfriend but more like fuck buddy - You will have to read to find out about her, she's fun. Wow!

IN REFLECTION:
First of all, I have to start off with just a little thing that I disliked and that was.... Kandy??? Really???... I mean, I may be the lone survivor over here on lonely island with this opinion, but Kandy is a stripper name. I get the story of the nurse, why they chose it and all that jazz, but I just... ugh.. that name...

ANYWAY!! Beyond that (and obviously, I LOVED the story regardless because I 5 Stared it!) This was seriously one of my ABSOLUTE FAV TABOO Reads! It is hard for some authors to get to a story behind the actual Taboo plot line and take it in a more complex direction. Most of the time, the major point of the story is the forbidden nature of the relationship and the other aspects get thrown in the background until they need a problem to present itself to create some drama at 80%.

I really enjoyed how this Shanora weaves the story so that you are extremely intrigued with not only the main relationship between Kandy and Cane but also Canes relationship with Kelly, his past, and the secondary characters.
Before I started this I was thinking, "How on earth is this author going to give me a 'Dad's Best Friend' story that will hold my interest and not fizzle out in the span of 4 BOOKS!"
SHE TOTALLY DID IT!! I was obsessed!

LOTS of angst in this one, so prepare yourself!! So Good though!!

Things you might want to know, BUT DON'T DO IT if you're not interested in spoilers!! - (view spoiler)[ - There is NO underage sex in this and the H NEVER lusted after the h until AFTER she turns 18 (not until she came onto him actually)
- There IS OW drama, via Kelly, but there are no OW detailed scenes nor any mention of Cane and Kelly having sex in during the span of the book.
- Cliffhanger into next book
- Also, I FREAKING KNEW IT! The second I read that Frankie's "brother" was only related basically by adoption when she was like 6 AND that he was hot, I said "I sense a step-sibling TABOO relationship on the horizon!" I CAN'T WAIT TO READ IT!!
