Seduction has never been so sweet! The New York Times bestselling author of the Cold Fury series—Alex, Garrett, Zack, and Ryker—returns with the first novel in a hot new trilogy.
Sela Halstead lost her innocence in a way that no sixteen-year-old should ever have to endure. She’s spent years trying to forget that night even while wondering about the identities of the monsters who brutalized her—until a telltale tattoo flashes across Sela’s TV screen. The incriminating ink belongs to Jonathon Townsend, the millionaire founder of The Sugar Bowl, a website that matches rich older men with impressionable young women. Obsessed with revenge, Sela infiltrates Townsend’s world, only to come face-to-face with a tantalizing complication: Beckett North, his charismatic business partner.
The tech mastermind behind The Sugar Bowl, Beck always gets what he wants, in business and in bed. And yet, for a man who’s done every dirty thing imaginable, there’s something about the naïve, fresh-faced Sela that sparks his hottest fantasies. Because with her, it’s not just about sex. Beck opens up to her in ways he never has with other girls. So why does he get the feeling that she’s hiding something? In a world of pleasure and power, the shocking truth could turn them against each other—or bind them forever.
Note: Sugar Daddy ends on a cliffhanger. Sela and Beck’s story continues in Sugar Rush and Sugar Free!
Sugar Daddy
Sawyer Bennett
Sugar Daddy was much darker than I expected. Sela, the main character was raped by a guy who now runs an escort service for rich guys to find ‘sugar babies’. Sela finds out and decides killing him is appropriate. I agree with her totally. The guy, JT, is still abusing women. It was just too dark for me to read. Reading what happened to Sela and what was still happening to other girls was too dark for me.
I do know this is part of a trilogy and that this book ends with a cliffhanger so be prepared!!
Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions.
A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.
Sawyer likes her Bloody Mary’s strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.

I wouldn’t have expected a dark book from that cover! All that glitter and pink.
I’m sorry you couldn’t get into it, but I don’t think I would like this either. I don’t like romance novels being trilogies.
oh I do want to read this one. I do love Bennetts works, because even though they are very HOT they also have a great emotional development you least expect to find. I am waiting until the series is released though, since I can’t do cliffhangers unless I can read the books in order hehe
I enjoyed this, even if if it was a lot darker than usual Bennett stories. I totally get that it was too dark for you, though, and I think it should come with a trigger warning 🙂
