Sugar Daddy is well done! Sela has a lot on her mind, and she is ready to do what it takes to get revenge! Only, Beck kind of throws her for a loop, with his charming personality and how he's able to give her feelings she never thought she'd ever have.



When I started Sugar Daddy, I didn't think I'd get the hotness factor I received! Sela seemed so set on revenge, I thought there wouldn't be any kind of connection between her and Beck, but man, I was so wrong! As Beck and Sela got to know each other better - both in bed and out of it - their relationship became something Sela could count on. And she really needed to feel the feelings she was able to achieve when she was with Beck. Because of what happened to her when she was only 16, she thought she'd forever be unable to have a fulfilling sexual relationship, or to ever trust a man who wasn't her father.

Bennett managed to treat a very tough subject in a respectful way, and also to show that even after such a horrible experience, Sela might have felt broken, but she had the possibility to put the pieces back together if she gave it her all. I really enjoyed how both Beck and Sela grew when they were together, even if they were both guarded in many ways, too. Beck was used to women being manipulative, and Sela really thought most men were arse holes. Above everything that happened with them, though, the shadow JT threw on most things that surrounded him made trust and moving forward difficult; especially for Sela.

Written in first person point of view, present tense and in dual perspectives where we get both Sela's and Beck's chapters, the story was quite fast-paced, and filled with great dialogues and sexy hotness, I enjoyed myself immensely! Beware of cliffhanger at the end, though - I don't know how I'm going to be able to wait for Sugar Rush that will be released later this year!



Fuck, but I miss doing the actual programming. This is my original baby before my eyes. Sure, it's morphed to become better and better, but it's all my vision.

I look in the mirror, still shocked with my new appearance. Six months ago, I ditched every bit of metal in my face and ears except a hole in each lobe that now sports tiny gold hoops.
