Title: Sugar Rush (Sugar Bowl, Book #2) 

Author: Sawyer Bennett 

Release Date: August 16, 2016 

Synopsis:

In the steamy and suspenseful sequel to Sugar Daddy (“A totally gripping take on romance and revenge!”—Lauren Blakely), a heartbreaking rift threatens to unravel a dangerous alliance . . . and a fragile new love.

After posing as an escort for the Sugar Bowl online dating service, Sela Halstead is looking for one thing: payback. She's closing in on the site's heartless founder, Jonathon Townsend, and she needs Beckett North, Townsend's business partner and her lover, by her side. She'd thought that their intimate nights together had forged an unbreakable bond, but after a shocking betrayal, Sela begins to doubt the brilliant bad boy. When push comes to shove, can she trust Beck to do the right thing? Now that he understands the truth, Beck will stop at nothing to secure the reckoning Sela deserves. But between his desire for her and his disgust for JT, Beck doesn't exactly have a lot of control over his emotional state. Left with no other choice, he must summon all his discipline to maintain JT's trust and pretend that they're still friends. But how far will Beck go to prove his loyalty to Sela? He nearly lost her once. To keep her, Beck might have to kill for her.

Note: Sugar Rush ends on a cliffhanger. Sela and Beck's story concludes in Sugar Free!

Title: Sugar Rush
Series: Sugar Bowl #2 

Author: Sawyer Bennett 

Release Date: August 16, 2016
Rating: 3.5 stars

After leaving off at quite an intense moment, I was thrilled to continue on to see what Sela's repercussions were going to be for her string of falsehoods that were uncovered. Her rage fueled vigilante plot for revenge was destined to explode in her face one way or another, it was only a matter of time. I must admit, a revenge plot is one of my weaknesses. There's something about someone taking matters into their own hands and seeking out their own brand of justice that gets me every time. These books are no exception. I was completely held in its grip until the very end.

Sela has gotten herself into a world of trouble. As if her duplicity and dangerous plan weren't enough, she's bound herself to a man who has major issues with dishonesty. Beck comes from a very dysfunctional and self-centered family and it's had some significant lasting effects on him. When the bomb finally dropped, it had a fall out of massive proportions. And let's just say I needed to see some major groveling on Beck's part. Strangely enough, I sided with Sela despite the fact that she had deceived him quite badly. But knowing where she was coming from, I empathized with the battle she went through in doing the right thing.

The plot thickened considerably this time around. Just when you think that JT can't sink any lower, he proves you wrong. There are no depths that he can't sink to and Beck and Sela must stay alert and on guard as they set the stage for the final act.

My only reason for not rating a little higher was during the last few pages, Sela made an extremely frustrating move. I saw no justifiable reason why she would go through with it, it didn't make sense for her to take that action considering they had everything they wanted almost in the palm of their hands. The rest of the book was a solid four stars for me, and I'll still be reading the last piece of the Sugar Bowl series. I just wish the twist at the end could have come about in a different way, but that's just me.

If you're like me, and was hooked ever since page one, word one of Sugar Daddy, you're going to want to continue and get your fill in Sugar Rush. Steamy, fast paced, with twists around every corner will have you reading this cover to cover in the blink of an eye. I can only imagine what's in store for us in the conclusion. With this series, anything is possible.
