Review
This book had me captivated from the moment I opened it. I loved how this story touched on 3 women's lives from different backgrounds and brought them together as friends and as pawns in a game of life and death.

WOW! Let me begin by a quote at the very end of Mickey Corrigan's full length novel:

"I know my wife. She will read this manuscript at once, pouring over it as you have. She will complete it in one sitting. Like you, she will not be able to put it down. "

This quote sums up my exact experience with Sugar Babies! An intensely dramatic, and sizzling story about three girls with dreams and the men who help make them into who they become!

Wow! I could not put it down, I would have read it in one sitt WOW! Let me begin by a quote at the very end of Mickey Corrigan's full length novel:

"I know my wife. She will read this manuscript at once, pouring over it as you have. She will complete it in one sitting. Like you, she will not be able to put it down. "

This quote sums up my exact experience with Sugar Babies! An intensely dramatic, and sizzling story about three girls with dreams and the men who help make them into who they become!

Wow! I could not put it down, I would have read it in one sitting if I wasn't interrupted by family arriving and I literally poured over the whole story, my curiosity begging for more as I turned each page.

A fantastic opening captures me immediately. Someone is writing the story... we dont know who yet but it's his story of three girls who come into his life, one who's spirit he breaks, one who's neck he breaks and one who he marries.

In a month by month account we meet the three girls, Marie, Niki and Esme. Three girls playing the game... being Sugar Babies to their Sugar Daddies. Professional Girlfriends to the old, rich and famous. Marie is the brain child and runs a website which caters to the Sugar Daddies needs, she runs mixers with the babies and daddies... dreaming of earning a living from the memberships. Niki and Esme and have dreams too. They need the $$$ to make their dreams come true and being a professional girlfriend does just that.

Of course anything that's too good to be true usually is and slowly the dreams start to unravel, one girl goes missing early in the piece, a multitude of suspects are around but perhaps she's just run away, unable to cope with the life of a professional girlfriend and all it brings. One is drinking much to heavily and has her dream almost in the grasp of her hands before she puts two and three together to make five. One is stuck with her Sugar Daddy as well as her boyfriend back home who she's earning all her $$$ for but then there's the complication of falling in love with someone who may possibly have something (but surely not) to do with her friends disappearance.

As things are slowly falling apart and the gold of Coconut Island is becoming quite tarnished before I knew it I reached the thrilling conclusion which neatly wrapped up all loose ends. All I can say is WOW what a ride!

Sugar Babies is full of Mickey Corrigan's trademark Sas and in your face language and thrilling descriptions which leaves most scenes up to your imagination which I thought totally added to this story because you're only limited by your imagination and boy did mine run wild with a thrilling, fast paced, risky and dangerous lives Marie, Niki and Esme were living. I was taken back to the good old days of stories I read in wide-eyed teenage wonder by the likes of Jackie Collins and Shirley Conran.

I give this 5 stars because I literally couldn't put it down, I was dying to get back to it while I was out with the family and because it was a very good read, especially as it's the first full length novel of Mickey's that I've read. I was left satisfied by the surprising conclusion, as well as a bit sad. But the point is it made me feel something and that gets a star from me :)

"A sugar daddy can make your money woes disappear overnight. But for sugar babies, life is like a chocolate covered time bomb: sweet on the outside, deadly on the inside.

Young, beautiful, and hungry, Maire, Esme and Niki want what every woman wants: love, work, safe shelter, the bills paid off, a diamond-studded Rolex, and a two-bedroom condo with an ocean view. Working as sugar babies seems to be the only way to make this happen. But the sugar life is more dangerous than they thought.

Maire O’Ro "A sugar daddy can make your money woes disappear overnight. But for sugar babies, life is like a chocolate covered time bomb: sweet on the outside, deadly on the inside.

Young, beautiful, and hungry, Maire, Esme and Niki want what every woman wants: love, work, safe shelter, the bills paid off, a diamond-studded Rolex, and a two-bedroom condo with an ocean view. Working as sugar babies seems to be the only way to make this happen. But the sugar life is more dangerous than they thought.

Maire O’Rourke is too hot to handle herself properly. She tends to wear too tight clothes and too much make-up, but she’s got more than sex on her mind. She’s already landed one of the richest sugar daddies in Coconut City, a tropical paradise boasting more lonely men per multimillion dollar estate than just about anywhere else.

Sweet Esme Grant is a buxom blonde with a rough and tumble lover she’s left behind somewhere in hill country. She’s come to Coconut City in order to find herself a sugar daddy, a rich older man willing to fund her, along with her hometown boyfriend and their Mayberry-gone-bad dreams.

Niki Stephanopoulos, a dark, iconoclastic artist enrolled in a teaching certification program at Coconut College, struggles with depression fueled by guilt. She is embarrassed by her dependence on her family for the money she needs to survive. But she feels even worse after sleeping with her sexy, much older landlord when she’s short the rent.

Welcome to the secret lives of sugar babies. On the first day of the month, Maire, Esme and Niki struggle with overdue bills and sexy beaus. Readers can join them as they figure out ways to pay the rent, make decent love to indecent men, and stay upright on the rough road to happiness. Sugar Babies is a modern-day romance, a blue martini with a nasty twist. An intoxicating mystery steeped in social satire, the story of Esme, Niki and Maire is an all-American morality tale.

Three beautiful young women: place your order now."

I seriously didn't know what I was getting myself into when I joined this tour. I just signed up and waited for the author to give me a copy of the book, without reading the synopsis. Before actually reading the book, I read the synopsis. I was seriously shocked; the plot is way out of my comfort zone. I was stunned that someone would actually write something about sugar daddies, mommies & babies. Given the plot, I was a bit reluctant to read the story and just wanted to back out from the tour. However, I thought, "What the heck. I should just try and give it a chance, maybe it's good. Also, I signed up for this so I need to see this through." I'm actually quite contented that I pushed through with this book.

To tell you the truth, the journey with this book was quite nice. It's a whole new perspective. You may think that this contains a lot of disturbing scenes, which is what I thought at first, but it doesn't. Ya, they sleep with old people but that's their preference not mine. I just try to imagine it as bearable as it could be. Also, you'll get used to the idea. Furthermore, I was actually expecting to read graphic sex scenes but seriously this book doesn't really contain much. You'll only get bits of words here and there about the topic but no graphic ones. Well, you'll expect a lot of curses, though, which is totally fine with me.

You might wonder what could the author write about the sugar world. The author opened up different problems of society right now, which I think is the main point of the book. The hardships in life. The lack of equality in the world. The continuous striving that will get you no where. The sacrifices you make for a better life. To tell you the truth, I sort of got depressed while I was reading this book because it will really let you reflect on the things that you think is important right now but isn't. It somehow opens up your eyes to the things you try to ignore.

On the other hand, if realizations don't get you to start reading this book, the book contains a mystery that you'll surely wanna follow and find out. I'm not going to reveal the mystery because it would ruin the whole book for you. While I was reading this, I was so curious about the letter that I just want to finish it to know the mystery behind the whole book. I didn't really expect to be captivated by the story. All the loose ends were answered or solved in the end, leaving you quite contented.

This is an unexpected good read. Don't let the plot cloud your chances of reading this. It's entertaining, exciting, reflective, & refreshing. Just remember to keep an open mind. Also, I want to thank the author for giving me a copy of this book.

PS: I used the book's actual synopsis for this book. I didn't make my own anymore.

We all know is life is hard, and yes sometimes you need to do what you would never do under normal circumstances but when you have no choice and it comes down to survival you close your eyes and get going.

But some people don't care what they do at all, they would do anything and everything to get what they want. In this read from Mickey J.Corrigan she explores the side of woman who are pretty desperate and dead set on getting the fancy cars, jewels and shopping sessions they crave so yes, not really anything to do with surviving but more of a situation of not wanting to work for it, or rather not doing the most honourable job in the world or the most ladylike for that matter.

Their solution is shocking and scandalous but also in today's modern times very true, they become sugar babies and grab themselves a sugar daddy!

Now I will be the first to agree with you that from the above I would not really want to read this book, but I have learned that no book is to be judged by it's cover or in this case by it's blurb.

The author touched on some very realistic aspects of the woman of the modern world and just how far some will go to get what they want and along the way even find time to hit all the notes us normal woman hit, like hurt, despair, sadness and also happiness without begging, showing these woman as only human and looking to find the slot they are meant to be slotted into.

Because the read had more than one main character am not going to go into much detail on each one, I will only say that from the truly brilliantly fascinating Maire to the very highly intriguing Esme and very dark Niki they each had their own set of rules and took this read from 'So out of my league 'sounding to "Wow now ain't that the truth" and all though I cringed for some parts it was not all bad language and extravagant sex scenes as you may think.

It was actually pretty classy and nicely depicted by the author and best of all she dug into the real life aspects of what sugar babies have to face when wanting to find their own happiness. It also included a fascinating little mystery just adding to the real life feeling of this read, and I for one could not stop reading to find out if the mystery would be solved or if I would be left wondering, lucky for me the author did not leave me in suspense and wrapped up the lives of these woman and the mystery very neatly.

I recommend this read for anyone looking for something new and fresh with a realistic look into the comings and goings of the sugar daddy meets sugar babies of the world.

The beginning of the book was really intriguing. It easily got me hooked and interested from the onset. It also helps that the intro of the book has a sort of mystery-suspense vibe to it. In no time at all, I was sucked into the lives of three very beautiful women.

The story-line is surprisingly edgy despite the fact that the world portrayed in this book is supposed to be all about beauty, wealth and glamour. I also really liked the slow build-up of the lives of the three ladies in the story. At every turn, I was kept in the dark as to the identity of the person who wrote the note at the beginning of the story. I kept guessing and I kept missing! Despite being a little frustrated at not being able to correctly guess the identity of the mystery person in the story, I actually had fun guessing. This is one of the strengths of this story: it keeps the reader guessing, and each twist was designed to confuse and lead the reader into a rabbit-hole with false leads.

As for the characters, I really felt sad for the women whose lives are narrated in this story. They world they live in is fascinating because they're practically being given everything they want by the men who keep them, but at the same time, it's sad because they seem to feel like they have no other choice but to use their beauty and bodies to survive. I also appreciate that each woman was distinctly fleshed out that it's not confusing to read about all three of them. What's interesting is the common denominator of the three women: superficiality. Many times during the course of reading this story, I thought of alternatives as to what they could do to survive. Surely, there must be some other way to earn money without being a sugar baby. But then again, the women in the story were somehow a little naive, and the big bad world simply wasn't so good to them.

All in all, Sugar Babies is a highly engrossing read with an intriguing start and an equally satisfying finish! ...more

It's been a while since I've read a story that is not a romance or non-fiction...and this book transported me back to those edge-of-your-seat reads I dug into in the past, especially the ones from the likes of Sidney Sheldon.

It's been a while since I've read a story that is not a romance or non-fiction...and this book transported me back to those edge-of-your-seat reads I dug into in the past, especially the ones from the likes of Sidney Sheldon. There was a definite Sheldon vibe to this tale - in the 'naked' portrayal of these characters, in the desperation interlaced into their characterization, in the spiral-downward trend they all took.... Would redemption be waiting down that slide? How would they each end up? Happy ending? Sad ending? Tragic ending? Especially when you bear in kind the very opening paragraphs of this book, there the sugar daddy tells you that he's been involved in all three women's lives - one spirit he broke, one's neck he broke, and the other one he married....

Who is he? That is the question that had me turning the pages throughout this book. I really, really hoped the author would not let me down by not wrapping it all up or stringing us along with a mystery (especially when it looked like no one was going to get married!), but then you reach close to the end....and suddenly you wonder how you did not see all this coming! It's a facepalm moment, because it all falls into place.

That being said, some things did annoy me in this story. The level of repetition, for one (the woman whose POV we're in says something, then 2-3 lines down, she says the same thing again in slightly different wording, then next page you get the same message again). And whenever the focus was on Niki, the read kinda dragged. Yes, this might've been necessary to 'explain' all that going on with Niki, but some points did feel tedious to slug through, and it is only the need to explain the mystery of THE sugar daddy's identity that kept me reading.

But all in all, this was an engrossing read, especially with the feel of these "lifestyle in all its glory and darkness" aspects that made Sidney Sheldon's books such page turners. There's an aura of sinister throughout this read that remains just on the edges, a darkness that is threatening to encroach, all while there is a brilliant expose about the condition of women and feminism in today's world that is 'explained' throughout the lives, motives, and plights of these sugar babies.

You will find yourself drawn into a world that is at once compelling and mysterious. You certainly don’t want to miss this well told tale!

Maire, Esme and Niki are three young women who are struggling to make it in the world. Having no other prospects in sight, they turn to the high-stakes world of professional dating.

Maire is the founder of Arranged Relations, a business created with the intent of helping wealthy, older gentlemen to find young women in which to share a mutually beneficial relationship. Maire is living the high life with her own sugar daddy who helps fund her business.

Esme is a beautiful, buxom blonde who has come to Coconut Island in order to find a wealthy man who will help to assist her and her boyfriend’s dream of owning their own bar. Esme has so much going for her, but she allows her boyfriend to dictate her life. Can a sugar-daddy help turn her life around?

Niki is a college student who is deep in debt with student loans. She is desperate to make ends meet on her own without the help of her parents. Niki makes the mistake of falling for her landlord, whom she claims has some weird sexual practices. When Niki goes missing, it becomes a mystery that needs to be solved.

SUGAR BABIES is an interesting read that kept me turning the pages. I found myself pondering whether or not there really are professional dating sites on the web. Filled with an air of mystery and intrigue, you will be kept guessing as the story plays out. Surprisingly, there is very little sex added to the story, which I found refreshing. Mickey J. Corrigan is one of my favorite authors and I urge you to give her a try. Her stories are very well written and always entertain! Sweeten your reading this month with SUGAR BABIES.

“You really can't go home again, not if the place ate you alive”

Let me just start by saying that this is a great little novella.

Set in what I see as a southern Florida type of town, the story follows Maire, Esme and Niki in their search for a sugar daddy. Each has different motivation for their quest for a seemingly easy bank roll. Student loans, trying to make another man happy and fund his dreams, finding a means to start a new life. Whatever the reason, it surely is not as great as it se “You really can't go home again, not if the place ate you alive”

Let me just start by saying that this is a great little novella.

Set in what I see as a southern Florida type of town, the story follows Maire, Esme and Niki in their search for a sugar daddy. Each has different motivation for their quest for a seemingly easy bank roll. Student loans, trying to make another man happy and fund his dreams, finding a means to start a new life. Whatever the reason, it surely is not as great as it seems. Most of these men are significantly older than the women they are seeking. Often they have some sick fetish they are requiring to be met. Any way you slice it it’s prostitution. And that is a dangerous world to be in.

I felt sympathy for these women. Their desperation and need for a large amount of quick cash led them to their current situation. It all looks glamorous from the outside. Nice car, rent paid, shopping sprees, you name it. It is at their disposal. But at what price? No woman wakes up one day and says, gee I’d really like to have sex with a man three times my age just so I can pay my bills. It’s also not hard to imagine how they ended up in their position either. Big dreams and a small bank account or lack of resources could easily lead anyone to this position. Shame and fear of judgment, not wanting to ask friends or family for help. All of these things are a dangerous combination.

This story was sexy, but also with a deadly mystery involved. These men are accustomed to getting their way, and do not like being told no. There is nothing their money cannot buy or buy their way out of. These women are disposable, they could be any girl. I found them all endearing and empathized with their desperation. I also loved the mystery that was woven into the story. Who is the bad guy? Who is the liar, the manipulator? I greedily devoured this book as I had to know the fate of these women and who was ultimately pulling the string.

Great story for a day at the beach or poolside with a fruity drink.

4 stars and a blue martini! Enjoy!

Shelves: thriller

I have to admit that from reading the blurb, I was not sure this was the kind of book I would enjoy. But, I was asked to read the book as a favor and---boy, am I ever glad I did.

This story is a story of three women and a man, but the man is a shadowy figure. He opens the book with a page from his diary and the first paragraph grabbed me and didn't let go: Three women. I broke one's spirit. I broke another's neck, and I married the third.

The book takes the reader into the background world of prof ...more

It was interesting to see how these girls fell into the so-called life of being a sugar baby and the way the book is written from a guy point of view who became involved with all of the girls adds a certain mystery to the whole story.

Nov 17, 2013 Linda rated it did not like it

Shelves: didn-t-finish

Don´t know what I expected from the blurb but it wasn´t this.
Cynical, gritty and you get the feeling the author doesn´t like young women.
Even before the first chapter he states that "they´re nothing but flesh dummies, sex dolls you can blow up and fuck." or "This is the main problem with young women these days. They are spiritually, morally, and psychologically weak. Women are, in general, weak creatures. So they are nothing without men. And they know this" ?! This had me cringing and doing si ...more
