TITLE: Sugar Rush
SERIES: Sugar Bowl #2 AUTHOR:Sawyer Bennett GENRE: Romance RELEASE DATE: August 16, 2016
In the steamy and suspenseful sequel to Sugar Daddy (“A totally gripping take on romance and revenge!”—Lauren Blakely), a heartbreaking rift threatens to unravel a dangerous alliance . . . and a fragile new love. After posing as an escort for the Sugar Bowl online dating service, Sela Halstead is looking for one thing: payback. She's closing in on the site's heartless founder, Jonathon Townsend, and she needs Beckett North, Townsend's business partner and her lover, by her side. She'd thought that their intimate nights together had forged an unbreakable bond, but after a shocking betrayal, Sela begins to doubt the brilliant bad boy. When push comes to shove, can she trust Beck to do the right thing? Now that he understands the truth, Beck will stop at nothing to secure the reckoning Sela deserves. But between his desire for her and his disgust for JT, Beck doesn't exactly have a lot of control over his emotional state. Left with no other choice, he must summon all his discipline to maintain JT's trust and pretend that they're still friends. But how far will Beck go to prove his loyalty to Sela? He nearly lost her once. To keep her, Beck might have to kill for her. Note: Sugar Rush ends on a cliffhanger. Sela and Beck's story concludes in Sugar Free!
After the way Sugar Daddy ended I just needed to read the continuation of Sela and Beck’s story. There were lots of issues I didn’t have the answer to and this book helped solve a couple of them.
"I never thought there was a room in my life for anything other than my anger and misery. But now that's all changed. You've given me the world."
The story begins with a devastated Sela afterward admitting her horrific secret to Beck. When she finally opened up to him about her deepest torment, he shut her out and now she’s broken! But Beck isn’t the swoon-worthy hero he is for nothing; he soon realizes his mistake and must make amends with her. They’re fast to continue with their romance, but this time they’re two plotting for Sela’s revenge plan. She opens up completely in this book and trust Beck with her past. She bares her soul to him, believing he can protect and help her in her quest. She finds in him a new ally and he’s still the supporting boyfriend. More than ever! There’s also a few new unexpected twists to blur their decision making. I really like how their personal relationship evolved into a deeper one. Their real feelings aren’t guarded anymore with the secret out of the bag. Sela is more driven by love than vengeance; her plan to kill JT forgotten for something a little less drastic. I still felt the profound attachment between these two! Their interactions are more on the emotional side than the physical, but still so enjoyable. However, the flowing of the story was slower than in the first book and the beginning was a little long to completely grab my attention. But, as in the previous novel, the last fifty pages or so was a revelation fest. I couldn’t wait for the culmination and what it would reveal! Let’s just say that once again we’re left with another huge cliffhanger preparing us for the conclusion of this trilogy!
"One thing I've managed to understand with great clarity is that Beck has now become the most important thing to me."
Sawyer Bennett again writes here a brilliant suspenseful novel that keeps the puzzle unresolved. I’m more than anxious to discover the fate of these characters in the upcoming and final book of the series Sugar Free!
