If something looks or feels too good to be true, then it probably is….
Quick money, spending a little time, getting spoiled, good food, travel, clothes…ahh…. the perks of being a Sugar Baby….
Adoration, sex, power, companionship, calling all the shots…the perks of being a Sugar Daddy
But what happens when those lines get blurred, when feelings get in the way, when the truth behind the lies comes out and when sugar no longer tastes so sweet????? Then you have a HOT mess on your hands.
Struggling to pay her bills while attending art school, Nat meets another young woman named Ava who has an affluent lifestyle and shares with Natalie how she can afford her pricey apartment and designer wardrobe. Natalie decides to give it the old college try and soon meets with a man name Gabe. A wealthy lawyer who tells her, he is single and wants to take care of her, keep her on a monthly allowance. This is love, isn’t it? Or is it? Then things take a drastic turn and Nat is blind sighted and things go from bad to worse – much, much worse.
I found this to be a fast read and I did guess the “whodunit” before the reveal but still found this book to be enjoyable escapism reading. I do wish the ending had a little more of a punch to it, but still, this was a fun one. Didn’t require much thought – except about the Sugar Baby/Sugar Daddy arrangement. Secrets, lies, deception, heartbreak, anger, fear, guilt – they are all here which makes for a juicy tale.
*This was a Traveling Sisters group read
*teetered around a 3.5 and 4 for me so I rounded up.
