Description

Sugar Daddy websites, promising young women money, fun and independence are among the fastest growing sites on the internet. But what really goes on? Is there a dangerous reality below the surface?  

The Sugar Game is a novel that takes readers behind the curtain and into the lives of two young women who rush headlong into the world of the ‘Sugar Baby’.  

But once they are in, can they get out again?

Jessica and Holly don’t want love, they want independence. They don’t want predictable, they want adventure. They don’t want a relationship, they want to play. 

Jessica and Holly’s friendship was as inevitable as sunrise, and hungry for life beyond sleep, eat and repeat, they land in the bright lights of London.  

When Holly stumbles across a sugar-baby dating website, a glamorous world of entertaining wealthy men lures them in. They make their own rules, choose an alias and the Sugar Game begins. Jessica’s pursuit of independence is rocked when Jerod, a workaholic scientist opens the door of her latest date. Jessica’s mask slips as he loosens the grip on her stubborn heart. But when he pulls back, her insecurities flare, what is he hiding?  

A shadowy figure from his mysterious past may have the answer. What he reveals locks Jessica into a dangerous conflict, putting her security on the line. Determined to find the truth, she battles between her heart and head.  

Whatever choice she makes, this is not going to be easy. As rules get broken, will the girls ever win the sweet futures they signed up for?

A peek into the world of sugar babies! This book was so well done and the story was amazing. I could not stop reading it! Definitely a different type of story.

I liked this book. The story was different, and had me fully engaged from the first page.
The writing is something that could handle a bit of improvement in regards to characters, pace, and editing, but that didn’t bother me. A couple of spots in the book where a bit confusing and I had to go back a few pages to understand what was happening. That didn’t really bother me either, but I did drop a star for those reasons.

I still recommend the book. The cover is fantastic, the setting is unusual and intriguing, the plot is fun and fresh.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for a free ARC
