Fifteen Contestants, Twelve Episodes & One Very Big O

When my best friend Allie posted about my need for an inaugural O on a prominent dating website it was meant to be a joke.
A joke she was supposed to delete.
But her post started an internet and media frenzy and, when I was offered fifty thousand dollars to star in my own reality competition show, I had no choice but to say yes.
The Orgasm Virgin was supposed to help me meet a carnal companion who could finally bring me to climax.
Unfortunately, the one person I want to win the undying allegiance of my, well, you know, can’t be in the running at all.
Now in an L.A. mansion with fifteen very persuasive contestants vying for my attention and one undeniably sexy Production Assistant secretly getting it all the word ACTION has a whole new meaning…


Candy Sloane is an erotica author and the fictional creation of Lisa Burstein from the New Adult novel Sneaking Candy. The Orgasm Virgin is her debut novel.

Author's Note: This book is about sex. There are men kissing women, women kissing women, and men kissing lady parts. It is not meant for readers under eighteen, or my mother. 

My Thoughts

When I read Lisa Burstein's Sneaking Candy, I thought how I would love to read one of the novels written by Candy Sloane, "the naughty, impulsive, erotic romance author" (this is how I described her). Just a little over a year later, I got what I wanted with the publication of The Reality O. 

As a fan of too much reality TV, I liked how the book is set up with each chapter being a different themed episode. Thank goodness I didn't have to "stay-tuned until next week" to find out what happened. I thought the contestant names, ala Flavor Flav, were hilarious with each person fulfilling a certain "type" as most reality shows are typically cast. I liked how they didn't take themselves too seriously and laughed together and made the whole experience fun. 

The Reality O is hilarious and awkward and hot and steamy and hits all the right spots. Even just half-way into the story I knew I wanted more books like this one! I loved the chemistry between the main characters and this secret that they shared. It was playful, yet so, so hot! This book is definitely for the 18 and over crowd. 

I made all of my friends read Sneaking Candy - I even gave a copy to my mother-in-law because I knew that she would enjoy the fun story and romance. The Reality O is another book I will definitely tell all my girlfriends to read! But I might not share this one with my mother-in-law (unless she likes that kind of thing!)
