Although this is a romance trope I normally avoid, I enjoyed the read. I felt for Marissa and her circumstances. Although one thing I didn't like about Marissa was that she was willing to sleep with her potential date. A sugar daddy romance with Marissa as a companion, I don't mind. A sugar daddy romance where Marissa is essentially a prostitute is not my cup of tea. Luckily, sex is off the table with VInce and everything that happens between them happens organically. One element I felt was not really fleshed out was VInce's dad's anger and treatment of VInce. There was not really a satisfactory conclusion to that conflict for me. That being said, I liked the read.

Marissa is in debt up to her ears! College loans, personal bills, living expenses and even loans she co-signed for her ex. Her friend gives her a tip that will surely help, a website to find a sugar daddy! Why not? It couldn’t hurt! She’s all set to meet up with a middle-aged millionaire and little does she know that his son is taking his place! Vince is the total package; rich, handsome and a real television star. Will their “non relationship “ ever be anything else? This spicy story will have you reading until you find the answer.

Sugar Sweet by Christine d'Abo will be available August 7, 2018 by Lyrical Caress, an imprint of Kensington Books. An egalley of this book was made available by the publisher in exchange for a honest review.

3.5 stars. I was expecting an Alpha Hero but I didn't think Vince is Alpha at all. Sure he's demanding, possessive, and all, but I didn't feel the Alpha vibe coming off of him. Plus I don't really see the chemistry between Marissa and Vince.
The actual plot is good but the execution could be better. Look forward to read more from this author!

Vince is rich, but knows that money can't buy everything. Marissa needs money but still has morals. I liked this sugar daddy type book.

Marissa needs money NOW and a friend talks her into posting her profile on a sugar daddy website. She is immediately chosen by Vince's dad to escort him on a business deal, but it's Vince who actually uses her services.

I enjoyed the first part until BAM, Marissa acts a little of of the character I pictured and provided "those" services to Vince. I guess I was expecting something a little more. uh...wholesome? But - no harm, no foul, it just wasn't quite the story for me.
