Sugar Daddy by Sawyer Bennett
270 pages
How it Fits: #1 in the Sugar Bowl series
Read: 30 Oct
Rating: 5 stars
Review: Yes, Sawyer Bennett does it to me every time! I'd already downloaded Sugar Rush before I'd even finished listening to Sugar Daddy. These characters are just too compelling, and the story ends with Bennett's trademarke cliffy. So good!

I really enjoyed the audio performances by Lucy Rivers and Christian Fox. The both do a wonderful job with thtese characters and this story.

How it Fits: 969 reviews
Read: 4 Nov
Rating: 4 stars
Review: So exciting! Sawyer Bennett's Sugar Rush picks up right where Sugar Daddy leaves off. Just be sure you've got Sugar Free ready to go.

I love the audio performances by Christian Fox and Lucy Rivers - they're wonderful in this series!

Sugar Free by Sawyer Bennett
245 pages
How it Fits: 830 reviews
Read: 4 Nov
Rating: 4 stars
Review: What an exciting and happy conclusion! Sawyer Bennett's Sugar Bowl series wraps up with Sugar Free. This is a three part thrilller/revenge/romance which needs to be read in order.

I enjoyed the audio version, which is beautifully performed by Christian Fox and Lucy Rivers.

message 146: by Trio (new)

Trio | 2833 comments I'll finish mine tomorrow... we've been looking to purchase another home (I really hate my new neighbors), but it would be nice to have kind of a "retirement" house? So we'd probably not sell this one right away.

Long, long story - anyhoo, we were out again all day house hunting today and it is cutting into my reading and audiobook listening time.


message 147: by Janeylou (new)

Janeylou | 3054 comments Thats exciting Trio, is it going to be near your current home or not


message 148: by Trio (new)

Trio | 2833 comments Okay I posted our completion (in the correct year's thread!).

We're still going to be living on Long Island, just further from the City. It is so congested here, and people are New Yorkers (the stereotype is true about folks not being very nice). Maybe just an hour further out.

It's much calmer out East - not as far out as like "The Hamptons" because that's pretty much the same deal as where I live now lol.


message 149: by MountainKat, Moderator (new)

MountainKat | 32111 comments I finally got all your books checked - all were good. 😊

Here is your next task!

Task 9 - 18. Read over 750 pages in books tagged/shelved with 'favorite’.

Books selected for this task need to be tagged as ‘favorite’, variations of the work will be allowed. Combo tags will be allowed in context, ‘not my fave’ will not be allowed. Please include a link to the top shelves page showing your qualifying tag along with the number of tags and the page number of the top shelves page. The extra info is extremely helpful if the link is broken or the tag moves and both frequently happen! Remember to use the first edition Kindle page count.

Amanda (bookoutbelow) | 4155 comments I didn't remember you were on Long Island, Trio! My coworker is originally from Long Island and he drove us to a work event recently and it was the first time I could tell he was a New Yorker. The road rage was incredible lol
