Review: Sugar Daddy by Lisa Kleypas

BOOK INFO

I made the HUGE mistake of reading the blurb for Blue-Eyed Devil about halfway through this read and I was kicking myself for that mistake! Whatever you do, DO NOT READ THE BLURB because although I fully believe that Liberty ends up with who she is supposed to be with, I was still surprised at the results.

I don’t usually enjoy first person narration, but there’s something about Liberty that you can’t help but like. It might be her charming personality or maturity level for such a young woman. It could be the fact that she sacrifices so much of her youth to care for her little sister, Carrington. Or perhaps it’s the fact that despite her unlucky times, Liberty never complains about her life. She has moments of weakness where she breaks down and sobs, but that makes me love her all the more. I can’t think of another book where the heroine deserves a happy ending as much as Liberty.

I won’t divulge too much about Liberty’s love life, but I have to mention the love scenes. Kleypas usually keeps her sex scene pretty tame, where less is more. But there are a couple scenes in this book that were steamy as hell! It wasn’t that she became suddenly explicit in her work. I think it was the way she wrote Liberty’s yearning, exploring a side of Liberty where she lets herself fall into the arms of this man, trusting him to catch her, to take care of her. It was the fact that Liberty’s love shone through that made this scene one of the steamiest sex scenes I’ve read in a long time. It was perfect.

Having now read the blurb for Blue-Eyed Devil, I cannot wait to read the next book! Kleypas continues to reach into my heart and mind, teaching me that extraordinary things can happen to ordinary people. You just have to recognize it.

Favourite Quote:

“I know without a doubt this man loves me for exactly who I am. No conditions, no limits. That’s a miracle too. In fact, every day is filled with ordinary miracles. You don’t have to look far to find them.”

Blogger/Reviewer at Under the Covers Book Blog

I’m an obsessive makeup junkie and a compulsive reader. I like to call Under the Covers Book Blog my stomping ground, but when I’m not talking about books with my girls, I write New Adult Dystopian and Contemporary Romance under the pen name Ana Jolene (http://www.anajolene.com). I also work as a virtual assistant for authors. You also can find me as a reviewer and columnist for FreshFiction.com.

When it comes to books I’m pretty adventurous. I read everything from Paranormal Romance to Urban Fantasy, New Adult, BDSM, LGBT fiction, Cozy Mysteries and even YA. If it’s got the littlest trace of romance in it, then I’ll probably read it. That being said, my all-time favorite authors are J.R. Ward and Karen Marie Moning.

When I’m not submerged in a good book, you can find me musing about makeup and planners or dreaming about Kpop boys and beaches. Until then, check out my reviews and let’s talk books!
