Book Review: Dipping a Toe in Sugar by Rocklyn Ryder

A Taste of Sugar Book 1

Rock bottom would be a step-- or three--UP from where I am right now...

A year ago, I had it all and now I'm just grateful for a part time, minimum wage job scrubbing the gas station bathroom and a cot to crash on in my aunt's garage.

I've never been the kind of girl that looks for a man to pay her bills for her, but right about now I sure could use a sugar daddy. Too bad I'm too old for that now-- or am I?

He's everything I could hope for: Rich, smart, easy to be around, and smokin' hot! He's offering me a fabulous beach front condo, a chance to finish my education and restart my career, and a life of high end cocktail parties, celebrity-studded charity fund-raisers, and gallery openings on the arm of a successful private art broker.

To bad he made it clear that we're strictly platonic-- all business. Because Brighton Ford is the kind of sugar daddy that Cinderella fantasies are made of.

--- Dipping a Toe in Sugar is a quick read that follows on couple to their happily ever after, high on cute, low on drama with a little naughty thrown in for fun and absolutely no cliff hanger ending.

My Review:

This story was just so freaking adorable. First off, I love that our hero and heroine are past ‘the first blush of youth’. There’s just something extra special for me when I read about a leading couple that have some experience behind them. And Paula has experiences that I’m grateful never to have had, though I do have my own that are close cousins. Brighton is just the cutest thing ever. (There’s a phrase I never expected to ever use about a romance hero.) It was so much fun watching him trying to fight his desire, trying to keep it the platonic relationship he set out in the beginning. The mess they get into when they start blurring those lines nearly broke my heart, but I adored seeing them put it all back to rights. I received a complimentary advanced copy of this book from the author.
