*Received an advance reader copy from NetGalley in exchange for a fair review*
I absolutely loved this book! It was even better than the first book and once I saw it was available on NetGalley I HAD to request it! Davis had his heart broken six years ago and since then has become a playboy with a preference for blondes, but he has been intrigued by the new feisty red headed bartender for a while. They bicker back and forth and the relationship is filled with sexual tension until it explodes and these two decide to find out how much chemistry they have together. I loved that she helped him want to be loved again and opened his eyes. The chemistry, the banter, the hot sex...these two are perfect for each other! Totally worth reading!

Loved Davis's story!! I love Davis and Graces attraction to each other. They clicked so well. Especially since Grace isn't Davis's perceived type. She's a red head not blonde. But we quickly learn there's more to Davis then he leads on.
In Lemmons book "Eye Candy" we were introduced to Grace and Davis. They had instant attraction and were always bickering. After being introduced to them I knew I had to read their story. And Lemmon didn't disappoint.
Davis is a suit and tie who works from home. He's always hooking up with blondes from the bar. He doesn't do red heads, at least anymore.
Grace is working a job she loves as a bartender. Even though she has a degree, she hated the job that went with it. Bartending is her thing. She loves the atmosphere and the people. And Davis is the one person who can annoy her while turning her on.
Grace and Davis has been circling each other for sometime. And when Grace challenges Davis to date a red head she doesn't expect him to be asking her out. But a bet is a bet, right?

Absolutely Opposites

Davis and Grace OMG these two couldn't be more different on the outside. Davis a stuck up suit. Grace a red hair spitfire who's a bartender at Davis' favorite bar. These two have some of the best chemistry written in a book I've seen in a long time. What a fantastic read.
I really enjoyed this book and it kept me engrossed throughout. I really loved the characters and the way they interacted with each other. This is a fun, hot, romantic must read book and I would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Let me start by saying I think I just read a book that had everything I love in a book. Then you add that it's beautifully written and believable. It is easily a five star read. Written in dual POV my personal favorite this story flows so incredibly well that the next thing you know your 80% into the book and loving every second of it. The believable way the characters interact is perfect. Run, Hop, Jump or use your (1 click) finger to do whatever you have to do and get this amazing book. It'll break your heart, you'll want to scream with frustration and it'll let you discover that love just might conquer all. The chemistry is steamy and sweet and oh so romantic.

Thanks you Netgally for letting me read and review.

When Davis met Gracie... This second entry in the Real Love series is another title not to be missed. The tension that was building between these two continues and builds to a climax when Gracie challenges Davis to break his dating mold and go with a non-blonde. Little does she know that being jilted at the alter has left Davis craving the safety of his routine and dating "packages." Can two people with so much baggage find a way to make it work or will their chemistry cause them to self destruct?

Nice follow up to Eye Candy. Grace is sassy and takes no crap. But Davis...I had a hard time warming up to this guy-who goes home with one night stands just to piss her off? He's a real Shallow Hal! I liked the premise of the story line, but just did not like the hero.

Davis Price was never the same after being left at the altar. His goal was to offer a package deal to any blonde he met. His spiral,of destructive behavior finally comes to an end when he meets Grace, a bartender at MacGreevey's. Their verbal barbs are one thing that he looks forward too each night Gracie Lou works. Grace makes a bet with Davis that he would not date a red head. After one redhead left him burned he is desperate not to go down the path that broke his heart again. Davis and Gracie slowly come together and realize that what they were missing in their lives was each other.

Grace and davis was a cute couple I was looking forward to reading about from earlier books in the series, and the story did not let me down. Another charming contemporary romance by Jessica Lemmon. Thanks to Netgalley and the publisher for the ARC in exchange for a honest review.

I adored the first book in this series and was anxious to read this installment. I began to fall for Davis in the first book and am happy to say that I fell even harder in this one. I liked Grace and thought they made a good match, although I must admit that I got frustrated with her at times. There were a couple of things in the book that I wish had been resolved (for instance, I wanted to know her first name, and I wanted her to confront her mother about having such a negative influence on her in terms of her trust of men); alas, I'll just have to make these things up in my head. :-) The first book is still my favorite, but this is definitely an enjoyable read. This can be read as a standalone, so if you haven't read the first book, don't let that stop you from reading this one (but you should go back and read that one too because it's great!).

Aww. I loved this book. Before reading it, I thought Davis was going to be a hard nut to crack. I couldn't wait to dive in and get inside his head. But in true Jessica Lemmon fashion this book held a twist I was not prepared for. And I. Loved. Every. Second. With witty banter, sexy scenes, and both the hero and heroine easy to adore, this book has it all. Grace and David's story is sure to make readers smile and laugh out loud. 5+ stars!

Jessica Lemmon’s sassy, confident writing is what had me requesting this ARC, though this turned out to be yet another chick-lit book that disappointed me with its predictability from start to finish, with main characters that are dime a dozen in the romance genre. 2 non-committal people make the (rather cynical) sex-only agreement, then find out they could be more thereafter, though it was an uphill climb to believe that genuine trust, respect and love could blossom out of chemistry in the bedroom and months of foreplay, as it always is when sex is done and out of the way so very early on in the story.

Admittedly though, the rating reflects a case of my liking a main character and intensely disliking the other—rather than the quality and style of Lemmon’s writing itself. Davis has had his heartbroken a few years ago and the default mode (as with most male protagonists in the romance genre, being cowardly and gun-shy after that) he goes back to after that wedding incident is being a manwhore about his dates and being unapologetic about deliberately living in an environment where he and the rest of the women can walk away after sex before anything can begin. It’s his way of ‘killing time’ supposedly, but no matter how Davis tries to rationalise it to convince himself that Grace is worth it, I couldn’t quite buy the fact that he wanted it all simply after a bet that Grace has impulsively taken up.

My own personal biases against such players do prevent me from liking protagonists like Davis, whose shallowness I couldn't get over—the offering of the ‘Davis’ package then flaunting his hookups just to get Grace to take up a bet was quite the last straw which I found more sleazy than charming. It was in short, difficult to think of Davis as something other than a huge cliché whose background and personal history dictate his behaviour with women and his escort-like packages and frankly, it was more of a turn-off than anything else. Grace on the other hand, is as jaded as Davis and yet there seemed to be more nuances to her character, although her own fear of commitment—for different reasons other than Davis’s ones—certainly isn’t hampered by her falling prey to Davis’s charm.

In short, without a grounding belief that Davis and Grace could work together, the rest of the story was hard to follow through when I stayed sceptical of them throughout when both characters seemed at various points in time, to have a foot out the door because fear, as always, took control up until the very end. ‘Arm Candy’ was unfortunately, a story that left me frustrated and less than enthused, when it simply felt like another variation of 2 people getting invested in each other after getting the best-of-their-lives-smexy times.

I LOVED this book! I don't know how the author does it but each one of her books is better than the last. The characters are perfect and I love the way they get together and relate to each other. I read this in one setting and now I'm sad it's over. So good!

This is the second of the series. The story is about Davis and Grace. They are both attracted to each other, however a little gun shy do to previous failed relationships. Davis was burned when his fiance of six years, stood him up on his wedding day, and he was so hurt that he decided on no strings commitments. Since she was a red head, he tends to stick to blonds, all one night stands. Of course, Grace is a red head, and even though he is attracted to her, he fights, not wanting to go there. Grace is the bartender where he goes daily, and she has also had horrifying experience with past relationships, and to add to that, her parents failed relationship. On a bet, they get together, and are instantly combustible, they break there no attachment rule, and give each other a chance and fall in love. Grace, ends up having fear of her love of Davis, and breaks up with him, only to realize she truly loves him. They both are heartbroken, but not for long. It was nice to read about Vince and Jackie, from previous book, however I honestly wanted to read more of them, am hoping next book, has them getting married, and that we have more interaction from them.

Loved this book

Fun, hot and sweet. Jessica Lemmon writes great contemporary romance.

Liked Davis from Eye Candy and his obvious chemistry with Grace. But loved Davis and Gracie in Arm Candy.

These two have great chemistry. All bets are off when they get together. Despite their hangups they find an emotional connection as good as their physical one.

I really enjoyed this but I think if you haven't read the first book you would miss a lot of the sexual tension that grows between Davis and Grace. I've noticed this with a few series where the seeds of a romance are planted in the previous book, if you are not careful the actual novel feels as though it is missing something; in this case the banter between Davis and Grace.

Davis is a stock analyst, even though he works at home he still wears a suit and tie EVERY day. Each night he comes to McGreevy's Pub for a Sam Adams, more often that not he leaves with a petite blonde on his arm, but rarely the same one. Grace is the red-haired bartender at McGreevy's, she and Davis trade insults nightly, until she bets him $100 that he won't go out with the next non-blonde that approaches him, $200 if it's a redhead. Challenge accepted, but Davis chooses Grace.

Davis really is the perfect date, thoughtful, attentive, caring, handsome and educated. Six years ago he was left at the altar by his redheaded fiancé and that has left some scars, and an aversion to redheads. But he finds Grace intriguing. Grace is the daughter of two divorce lawyers who stayed together for her sake, something she wishes they hadn't done. Since then, she has not seen her father which has also left a mark on her.

Can an uptight suit and a fiery bartender make a go of it? Hell yes!

I think I liked this even more than the first one. Can't wait to see who the third one is about. Is it the mysterious Dax or maybe Davis' colleagues Simpson and Charmaine?

Oh Davis and Gracie, I have been waiting (impatiently) for you, and you didn't disappoint! This book was so, so, so amazing. Jessica Lemmon just keeps getting better and better with every page, book, and series!
