Sugar Daddy is the story of Libery Jones. When she was four her father died in an oil rig accident. From that point on it was just her and her mother (and seemingly whatever boyfriend her mother had at the time). Eventually they have to move into a trailer park in Welcome, TX. And here begins our story. 
 Liberty has to struggle through a lot in the story. Nothing comes easy for her. She's in love with Hardy Cates (a boy who also lives in the trailer park) almost since the moment she meets him, but even though he may share her attraction, Hardy wants to leave Welcome and make something of himself. Liberty doesn't begrudge him of this, she would do anything to have a better life as well, but it still hurts. 
 After the death of her mother Liberty, little more than a teenager herself, now has the responsibility of taking care of her baby sister. Liberty doesn't see this as a burden, she loves her sister more than anything, but regardless, it's challenging. 
 Over the years Liberty works hard and eventually becomes a hair stylist in a posh Texas salon. Her life takes another turn when she meets wealthy Churchill Travis. 
 Being that this series is called "Travises", I was surprised at how long it actually took for a Travis to appear. This story is more Liberty's journey than anything else, but it's when Churchill Travis enters the picture that things finally begin looking up for Liberty. It's not just in a monetary way either. Churchill comes to represent a sort of father figure to Liberty which she has missed since a very young age. It is also through Churchill that she meets his oldest son Gage. 
 Gage, at first, doesn't like Liberty. He feels that she's just around Churchill for his money. That he is her proverbial "Sugar Daddy". Things quickly change between the two and they form a romantic realtionship. Of course that's when Hardy Cates, now a well-off oil man, comes back into the picture and shows his feelings for Liberty remain the same. Now Liberty has the dilemma of choosing between her past and her future. 
 I felt like there was a lot of build up from when Hardy left to when Hardy would return (you had to know it was coming), but Lisa Kleypas waited a long time to for this to happen. Part of me would have liked for him to resurface sooner. I wanted to see who he had become, how his life had changed and we didn't get a lot of that in his brief return. I suppose that is understandable seeing as how Blue-Eyed Devil picks up Hardy's storyline after Sugar Daddy. Also, the fact that Sugar Daddy is Liberty's store. 
 I really liked Gage and Liberty together and once that happened I wished that Lisa Kleypas could have retroactively gone back and started their romance a little sooner in the story. The end just felt a bit rushed to me since we spent so much time in Liberty's childhood and her path to the Travises. Once she got to the Travises things went too quickly. 
 I am interested to start reading the other books in the series. If they are anything like this one, I won't want to put them down!
