Gah!! 
 How many days do I need to wait before Sugar Rush is out?? 
 Yes. I knew going in that Sugar Daddy was going to end in a cliffy and was anticipating it, wondering what would be the catalyst for that shoe to drop and just where things would be put on pause, but that doesn't negate the fact that I did the "Whoa...wait that can't be the end?!?" thing while tapping the screen on my Kindle because I NEEDED more than just that. But, alas, that's where it ends and I must now practice patience. 
 Despite the title, and the very pretty and bright cover, Sugar Daddy has a dark edge to it due to Sela being gang raped at sixteen and the vengeance she wants to dole out to the ones who brutalized her, so if either are triggers for you, you may want a pass on this one. But while the undercurrent of the story is dark, there are times when you do forget about it, Sela's end goal, because of Beck and Sela and the way that their relationship evolves. 
 I really liked Sela and Beck. Sela is a survivor and has worked very hard to claw her way out of the darkness and live. Admittedly, she is only living a half life and she herself will tell you that her view of relationships and intimacy are warped, but she hasn't curled up and died. And though I don't agree with murder, I can't blame her and actually admire the steps she went through in preparation to put her plan into action. 
 Beck is that guy who on the surface looks like he has it all. He grew up with the proverbial silver spoon in his mouth, had a great education, and is co-owner in a company that is blowing up and making him lots of money. And all of that is true, but underneath it he's that hard working good guy with a strong moral compass, even if he has questionable taste in friends. He's honest about what he wants and expects the same out of those around him. 
 Even though Sela's initial intent is to use Beck to get to JT, a true connection between them starts to form, which surprises the hell out of both of them, and she starts to question if her end goal is worth it. I have to say that I really enjoyed the way Sela and Beck's relationship evolved. It was sweet, sexy and honest. There is an 'insta' feel to it, but as always Ms. Bennett makes it work because she shows you just how compatible the two characters are, outside of the blazing hot sexual chemistry. She gives you those moments that make you swoon as they show us and each other their hearts and souls and make you want them to have that elusive HEA. 
 As always, the writing was spot on. I was hooked from the first page and loved getting to know Beck and Sela. And that cliffhanger, as frustrating at is was it was done perfectly. There were so many ways it could have been handled but leaving things there just upped my need to get my hands on Sugar Rush even more.
