Candy Licker: An Urban Erotic Tale
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 success 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.

This reads like an urban graphic novel. The gruesomeness is a reminder of the toughness and reality of how cold and uncaring the world actually operates, maybe minus the bestiality.

It's really hard for me to believe that this book was written by a female....This was actually a 7 hour and 54 minutes audiobook and damn near every moment of this book was filled was some sort of torture and horror. This book was filled with greed, hate, rape, torture, malice, physical and emotional abuse....If by nature if you are a happy person, BEWARE....Don't pick this book up because it will surely bring you down. From beginning to the last 4 minutes of the story, something negative and deplorable was going on. I never seen so much rape and torture in one story. Initially, I got this book from the Library and I also borrowed 3 more stories from this author, well there's no need to ask because when I return this book I returned the others without listening to them didn't matter that the books were all narrated by Nicole Smalls....This story was deplorable!

I thought this was going to be an erotic novel. It wasn't. I was intrigued by the story and I read it in two days. I hope there aren't real women out there who put up with this type of violence. I can understand why Candy felt trapped but why did the other women stay and continue to be punching bags? Just for the money and lifestyle? Only one of them had kids so why'd they stay?
The violence against women was just too much for me. I felt sick after reading this. This novel left me with so many questions:
Why did the "man" set up Percy"Knowledge" Jackson?
Why did they frame him?
Who would want to do something like that to him?
Was it because he was black and brilliant they had to frame him????
Why would a 15 year old boy need to get circumcised? That made no sense whatsoever!
Based on this book I don't think I'd be interested in reading any more of this author's work.

Candi was a person determined to survive no matter what life threw at her. Her love for singing took her to a place that few could go and stay. This book was like no other...there were several instances where the average person would have probably thrown in the towel, but her will to live & her love for her sister overpowered her fear of death. This book is one that is truly unforgettable.

I read this book in fifth grade, passed it to my friends and got it confiscated lol. Ok, this book deals with candy, an aspiring musician who finds love in all the wrong places and it can become potentially fatal if you let it. She lost her virginity around the age of 15 and she is described as having lovely red hair, caramel skin, and blue eyes. She and her mother had the talent of singing, but it went to waste because they were living in slums, sleeping on a pissy mattress, etc. her mom and her younger sister a beautiful, but her mom falls victim to drugs. Candy's mom turns to the streets, taking candy along with her. They rob some old trick for his money and get busted by the cops and candy is sent to juvue. She gets out and sings at this underground club called bricks "where a bitch can get bodied fast for dissing a shot caller". Hurricane, birth name junian, takes a liking to her, with his overly muscular physique and candy jumps at the opportunity. They get back to "cane's " beautiful mansion and she finds out that he is lacking severely in"that" department, so she politely asks him if he is in and he flips out of control and holds a hair triggered gun to the opening of her vagina. This is the first of MANY violent encounters she has with him. He is a sexual sadist, it's not about pleasure for him, only about inflicting pain on his partner, he does thing like beastiality and underground porn. Long story short, candy gets kidnapped, he buys her back, meanwhile her mother makes a drug run for cane after getting clean, she has a relapse, and her and her boyfriend are executed and tortured. At one point candy is at an awards ceremony for entertainers and she has a lovely gown on with the back out and when she turns around the whole crowd can see that cane had dripped hot wax on her back with cane engraved in her flesh. Candy hooks up with knowledge who is canes lawyer, meanwhile Carmen is all grown up and is OUT OF CONTROL! She dies when the nightclub bricks burns down along with cane, his goons, and her two faced friend. Dominique, her true friend is set up to be pushed in front of a speeding train. Knowledge and candy live happily ever after. Believe it or not, this is a QUICK summary of this book lol. Excuse any grammatical errors, I was in a hurry.
This book was awesome and I have recommended this to everybody!

Definitely urban... not so erotic, but still entertaining. It wasn't the best book I've read but it definitely wasn't the worst. There wasn't much sex in it, but a hell lot of abuse. Although Candy was a victim throughout the entire book, she rose above and got the happy ending she deserved. Not sure if I'll read more by this author. It was good, but wasn't wow for me.

There is nothing in this book that is redeemable. While it claims to be "urban" and "pulsate" with flavor, it in fact is nothing more than an erotica novel badly disguised as uppity literature. There is a storyline, however it is weighed down by terrible and distracting erotic narrative that serves no more purpose than to try and shock. It's clear this novel is trying to be two things at once. Unfortunately, these two things are totally opposite and they require a stronger hand than Noire to be reconciled correctly.
If you like erotica and terrible writing, this is a great book to pick up. If you were expecting some clear and well-written insight into the streets and urban life, look somewhere else.

This is on many urban/hood/erotic type lists so...I read it. It felt like I was reading G-spot all over again. It wasn't really that erotic -- just a couple of sexual words thrown out every once in a while. It was not a realistic story but I didn't expect one. I judged this book by its cover, and I was right. It was okay.
June 30, 2023
I couldn’t force myself to get far with this book, it’s not for me. The writing style comes across as inexperienced/young and the content is not interesting to me. There’s no positive fantasy to get lost in, just someone’s messed up reality. For those who want a f’d up poverty story…you may like this. 🤷🏽♀️

Some of the sex is hot but NOT the rapes and the women are abused so badly. Hard book due to abuse and overly violent rape and sex
June 8, 2024
This book was entertaining.
Definitely the type of genre I had no business reading in high school.
Had it’s suspenseful moments that kept me hooked to find out what happens next. This book comes with a lot of sex, violence, drug and mob related items… so be weary.
Giving 4 stars because I’m pretty sure I did not learn any new vocabulary words.

I fell in love with Noire after reading this book. It was wonderful. After reading it a 2nd time, it was still good.

"Candy Licker" plunges readers into the gritty world of the music industry in Harlem. Candy Raye Montana, a talented young woman with dreams of hip-hop stardom, catches the eye of Hurricane Jackson, a powerful music mogul. However, her rise to fame comes at a steep price, as she becomes entangled in Hurricane's dangerous world of crime and abuse.
Noire's vivid descriptions and gritty realism effectively capture the harsh realities of the music industry. The story is filled with intense moments, exploring themes of power, exploitation, and the corrupting influence of fame and fortune.
However, the book's graphic depictions of violence and abuse, including rape and torture, may be disturbing for some readers. The frequent use of violence, while intended to convey the harsh realities of the streets, can feel excessive and desensitizing at times.
Furthermore, the plot contains several inconsistencies and underdeveloped elements. The characters, while engaging in some instances, often feel one-dimensional and their motivations lack depth. The rapid escalation of violence and the lack of meaningful consequences for the perpetrators can feel unrealistic and potentially unsettling for some readers.
"Candy Licker" is not for the faint of heart. It's a dark and gritty tale that explores the darker side of the music industry. While the writing is engaging and the story is undeniably gripping, the graphic violence and the lack of deeper character development may detract from the overall reading experience for some.
Rating: 1.5 out of 5 stars.

Don't be fooled by the cover of this novel. From the title and the image, you might think this is nothing but porn, but in fact, it's quite a serious tale about broken dreams, desperate straits and the redeeming power of love.
Candy is sexy, smart and has a heap of talent. Since she was a kid, encouraged by her weak but doting mother, she has been determined to be a singer. When she gets noticed by big shot Junius "Hurricane" Cane and signed on to his music label, she believes her dreams have started to come true, especially when Cane claims her as his woman. Then she learns the truth - he's thoroughly vicious and cares only about himself, taking out his frustrations on everyone around him. Plus he can't satisfy her sexually - and Candy is hot-blooded.
As she struggles to escape the trap into which she's fallen, she endures enough violence and sorrow to destroy a weaker woman. But amid humiliation, abuse, torture and death, Candy manages to survive - albeit wearing permanent scars.
The horrific misogyny in this book made me shudder, most especially because I suspect it was not exaggerated. Noire knows the hard streets, and brings them vividly to life. The Black English in which the novel is written has a rhythm and a flow, almost like poetry. For the first time, I started to understand, at least a bit, the appeal of rap music.
I recommend this if you want a modern Black woman's perspectives on what it takes to survive. But you'll need a strong stomach, because you'll share Candy's pain - both physical and emotional.

4.5⭐️
“He gave me the world, but at the cost of my soul.”
Candy Licker by Noire is a wild, raw, and emotional ride that pulls you deep into the gritty world of power, abuse, and survival. I first read this book when I had no business reading it, but revisiting it as an audiobook with the full sound production was a completely different experience—intense, immersive, and at times, even more unsettling.
The novel follows Candy, a young woman with dreams of making it big in the music industry, who gets trapped in a toxic, abusive relationship with Hurricane, a ruthless mogul who sees her as nothing more than his possession. The story is filled with heavy themes—abuse and control, love versus possession, survival, and ultimately, freedom. Candy’s resilience shines through as she navigates pain, betrayal, and a dangerous romance with Knowledge, the one person who sees her worth beyond the fame and chaos.
Some of the book’s strongest highlights include the sheer emotional weight of Candy’s journey, the intense showdown with Hurricane, and her ultimate fight for freedom. Noire’s storytelling is gripping, raw, and unapologetic, making it impossible to put the book down—even when the subject matter is difficult.
The only reason this isn’t a full five stars is because of how dark and heavy the story gets—it’s not for the faint of heart. But if you’re looking for a book that’s intense, dramatic, and deeply emotional, Candy Licker delivers in every way.

Favorite Quote: “Yeah all of us was young when we hooked up with these fools and came out here. All of us had stupid dreams of living the high life too. That’s what the bling do to you. It lures you in.”~Teema
If you enjoyed “The Coldest Winter Ever” by Sister Souljah and “Grown” by Tiffany D. Jackson then you will love this book. It gives the same cautionary tell for young Black and Latinx girls growing up in then inner city who come from dysfunctional families and blinded by fame. All that glitters is not gold.

Let me start by saying this, CHECK THE TRIGGER WARNINGS!!!! This book is raw and gritty and at times hard to read because it takes the reader deep into the ugliest parts of poverty, drugs and street life. Don’t go into it expecting a sweet story about a poor kid making it big. This ain’t that!
All of that said, I liked it over all. Candy is a fighter and was determined to live through all the crazy she had to endure and triumph, scars and all.

Decent but not my type of book
I know this is a fiction book but a lot of things that have happened in this book seemed too unrealistic. It also didn’t even tell what really happened to most of the characters the end. The end also seemed rushed, unorganized and out of place. Overall it didn’t leave me with enthusiasm or a “want” to remember anything about it.

I was not very happy with the depiction of black people in general; the stereotype of drug pushing, pedophile, gang-bangers gets old very quickly. That said, this book was an emotional roller-coaster. The characters are clearly defined; the villains are villains and the heroes are heroes.
Noire
does a very good job in presenting characters that are easy to cheer for and to hate, and the story got my emotions going as I cussed out and was disgusted by the villain, Hurricane, and felt sorry for the heroine Candy Raye. While I am not certain that I will be rushing out to get another of these Urban books, this was certainly a page turner with a satisfying ending.

**SEMI SPOILER ATTACHED**
I read this book as a teenager and loved it. However, after reading it as an adult, my opinion has changed a little. While Noire is a decent author, this read was a 'captain save a hoe' read that I could not connect with. The way Candy developed relationships with people "Knowledge" for example was unreal to me. These chance encounters with longevity was just too unrealistic. There was never any real chemistry between her and her new lover that made me feel like it was okay for him to want to take care of her. I thought for a moment that I was missing something and maybe they had crossed paths in the past and this was possibly a rekindling of feelings, but it was not. What would have made Candy so special and so different from the other women Hurricane had abused in the past and why hadn't Knowledge stepped up before?
It was hard to believe rubbing herself on a towel brought about orgasm, but that is just a matter of personal opinion and not worth really focusing on in a review.
This book really focused on abuse, friendship, loyalty and crime. It also shined a little light on the plight some aspiring stars face during their come up. This read constantly makes the reader wonder WWID? I enjoyed rereading Candy's struggle as well as the other inhabitants of the house. Having read many other Noire books in the past, which follow a common theme of crime, family, loss and bad sex, I often wonder is this experience the author has faced personally or witnessed. Just a thought.
I can appreciate Noire's creativity and gore. I like when situations are unconventional and make me uncomfortable to the point where I feel like I'm there and questioning what I would've done. That makes for a strong author. Candy Licker wasn't a bad read, it just wasn't as strong to me as an adult as before when I was 16.

I should've known this was going to be whack when she described Candy as a black girl with red hair and blue eyes. Can a black person just be a black person in these books? Why do they HAVE to have "exotic" features?
I know this is a fiction, but it didn't feel like fictional writing so much as just lies and bad writing. The name dropping real life celebs was annoying. Dialogue was unrealistic, no one talks like that out loud. The characters were annoying. You're in the game a few months and now you're like "gosh, we were so dumb back then" like you've been here years. Why was Vonzelle (who I perceived to be the darkest skinned of the group) made to be the hater? Why didn't Candy fight that rude little bitch of a sister?
I cried laughing when Knowledge started rapping in the middle of sex.
The abuse scenes were more realistically conveyed; I actually cringed in pain for some of those scenes.
And talk about an ending with loose ends! The unnecessary kind. How the hell did Jadeah die?!? And no background information on the fact that Cane and Knowledge were brothers this whole time? Knowledge knew, but did Cane?
The sex scenes were good, it's what I picked up this book to read, not all the cliche and/or annoying BS that was written in between. Just.... yikes.

This is probably the first low rating I’ve ever given to a book I finished. The only reason I finished it is because I like Noire, and I’ll read anything by her. I pushed through hoping it would get good, but it didn’t deliver. The female MC is with a dude I did t like who was mean as hell, and he had a small d*#%. And this book is so long that I found my mind drifting elsewhere while listening to the cd in my car.
July 31, 2014
Graphically violent and misogynistic beyond belief, beyond anything I've ever heard or read or seen, even in the most depraved corners of the Internet. Sick to my stomach the entire time. Can't believe I finished it without killing myself. Absolute opposite of erotic.

This book took me for a ride! It was so well written and it had so many twists and turns. It captured me right away. I also enjoyed that it wasn’t a picture perfect ending. I plan to read more books by this author.

I have read EVERY book this author has put out!

The Bomb. I read this book in two days. Yes, there was some erotica in there but the storyline was fast paced and and left you wanting more.
September 27, 2014
I enjoyed this crazy book, but I can't help but notice a case of deja vu. (a lot like G spot, just saying)
I can't be too harsh though because the fact remains I could not put it down.

There was some parts of the book that is cringe worthy and so disgusting that it will make your stomach turn. There is a lot of exploitation in this book. I had to turn it off a few times because some of the violence became to much for me. This book is not for everyone it has a lot of nasty stuff but the story is believable and makes you wonder. Candy is one hell of a women her will to survive and protect her sister makes her a star. Candy risks everything even her own life for the ones she loves.
