ย“Yeah, Hurricane Jackson had a whole lot of things the average brothah could only dream of, but what he was missing was the one thing all his money and his power couldnย’t buy him.

A dick.ย”

Thatย’s how the character Candy Raye Montana describes her record producer/thug boyfriend in the erotic urban novel Candy Licker. Not only does Candy have ย“man-with-a-small-dickย” problems, her situation is complicated when Hurricaneย’s lawyer, Knowledge Graham, gets a sweet tooth and wants a piece of Candy, too. Discuss the trio and their very steamy problems at todayย’s Urban Book Club. 7 p.m. Central Library, 500 McKinney. For information, call 832-393-1313 or visit www.houstonlibrary.org. Free.
