After posing as an escort for the Sugar Bowl online dating service, Sela Halstead is looking for one thing: payback. She’s closing in on the site’s heartless founder, Jonathon Townsend, and she needs Beckett North, Townsend’s business partner and her lover, by her side. She’d thought that their intimate nights together had forged an unbreakable bond, but after a shocking betrayal, Sela begins to doubt the brilliant bad boy. When push comes to shove, can she trust Beck to do the right thing?

Now that he understands the truth, Beck will stop at nothing to secure the reckoning Sela deserves. But between his desire for her and his disgust for JT, Beck doesn’t exactly have a lot of control over his emotional state. Left with no other choice, he must summon all his discipline to maintain JT’s trust and pretend that they’re still friends. But how far will Beck go to prove his loyalty to Sela? He nearly lost her once. To keep her, Beck might have to kill for her.

Note: Sugar Rush ends on a cliffhanger. Sela and Beck’s story concludes in Sugar Free!

•••••••••••

REVIEW: 4.5 stars—SUGAR RUSH is the second installment in Sawyer Bennett’s contemporary, adult SUGAR BOWL erotic romance trilogy focusing on college student Sela Halstead, and IT guru and co-owner of The Sugar Bowl dating website Beckett North. SUGAR RUSH should not be read as a stand alone as the events follow immediately upon the cliff hanger of book one Sugar Daddy.

SOME BACKGROUND: Approximately nine years earlier, at the age of sixteen, Sela Halsted was drugged and brutally raped by several college boys leaving our heroine emotionally, mentally and physically battered with PTSD, flashbacks and depression. The Sugar Bowl series follows our heroine as she sets out seeking vengeance against those who all but destroyed her life.

Told from dual first person perspectives (Sela and Beck) SUGAR RUSH focuses on the ultimate revenge for sins of the past. Following Sela’s betrayal of Beckett North’s trust, our duo come together in forgiveness and misunderstanding. When the truth about Sela’s past is finally revealed, Beck will stop at nothing to seek retribution against the man he calls partner, in the hopes of destroying JT Townsend once and for all. What ensues is the carefully planned and calculated take down that goes off track when our heroine finds herself caught between the devil and her past.

SUGAR RUSH is an emotional and revealing story. There are moments of vengeance and betrayal; romance and love; hope and moving forward. The premise is startling and intriguing; the characters are tragic, dramatic and inspiring; the romance must traverse a path of emotional highs and lows. SUGAR RUSH is a provocative read with passionate and colorful characters, where fated lovers must deal with the abhorrent truth about a brother and a friend. Sawyer Bennett’s impassioned words will captivate more than your imagination but your heart and soul, as well.
