Afrodyt's review posted at Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews 
 Sela Halstead is the survivor of a horrific attack and now she's hell bent on revenge. After years of picking up the pieces of her shattered psyche, and then watching her assailants prosper very publicly, Sela has formulated a plan to bring them to justice all on her own. 
 Beckett North is the brains behind the Sugar Bowl brand. He partakes of the sweets offered but never over indulges. When he spots Sela at a party he is immediately captivated by her and willing to do whatever it takes to snatch her up. While the attraction and sexual chemistry between these two are off the charts, neither one of them are intending to make it more than that, but as they spend more time together their walls begin to crumble and they begin to feel so much more. 
 This story is captivating, intelligent and full of intense emotion that is perfectly calibrated. I love how these characters interacted with each other, how blunt and pragmatic they were. There was an underlying intelligence to Sela and Beck's relationship that kept me on the edge of my seat. It wasn't quite a cat and mouse game, but neither one ever truly let their guard down but they fell for each other anyway. This story ends in a cliffhanger, yet I found myself grateful that there is more of this story to be told. The respite from the bowstring tight tension is also welcome until August, when the next installment, Sugar Rush, is released.
