Sugarcoated is a best friend's sibling romantic comedy which is told from the third-person point of view and can be read as a stand-alone or as the first novel in the Hot Cakes series.
Zoe surprised Aiden on Christmas Eve asking him to take her v-card which he equally surprised her by saying no and returned back to his life in Chicago. After five months Aiden has decided to purchase Hot Cakes so that he can return to Appleby and confess to Zoe that he loves her and wants to spend the rest of his life with her but also has to let her know that he just bought her biggest rival in town.
Sugarcoated is a great start to the new Hot Cakes series by Erin Nicholas. I thoroughly enjoyed this novel and am looking forward to the upcoming novels in this series. Aiden and Zoe had great chemistry and their flirting and teasing was perfect for them. The Fluke guys are really funny and had me laughing out loud while reading and making me wish I could binge read this whole series right now but will have to wait for the novels to release. I recommend this book to everyone who loves sweet and funny romances.
