Elliot Santos had heard enough about the mysterious manwhore who lived in the apartment building above his cafe, Sugar, to know he didn't think very highly of them. Number Nine had sent a string of morning-afters through the doors of Sugar to caffeinate before making their walk of shame. The details? rarely spared. Elliot knew that Number Nine apparently didn't have a type, except male, and that he always sent them away wanting more.
Sworn off a certain type of man and wondering if there was anyone at all out there who would think he was enough, unlucky in love Elliot has put all his energy into Sugar since the demise of his last relationship. On his morning delivery run, he stumbles across a very naughty dachshund running through the apartment building corridor - and a very naked man chasing her. If Elliot had ever been skeptical about love at first sight - this moment might have changed it. Except that the charmingly handsome naked dude happens to live in apartment number nine.
Ken Donohugh made the cross-country move to San Fransico after his divorce was final. It was time for a fresh start, a new job, and new friends. Even if they only ever made it through a night in the sack. Ken was done with real love. He'd been there, done that, and had his life completely turned upside down in the process. Now was his time to do what he liked and what exactly that was, he was letting himself take time to figure out.
When a handsome long-haired sweetheart helps him wrangle his naughty dog, Penny, he knows exactly who his next conquest will be. Except that much younger Elliot owns the bakery below his apartment and he can't give up the delicious sweet treats he bakes. He decides a friendship will be enough - until it isn't.
With two men who want such different things in love, Elliot and Ken must navigate what their feelings mean. Can Elliot learn to love a little less? And will Ken ever be able to tame his ferocious sweet tooth?
Sugar Daddy is another light and fun reading. It’s sweet, a bit cheesy and fluffy with the promise of daddy kink.
The writing is okay with two very unique and lovely main characters. I like how these two broken people with trust issue trying to learn how to trust and being in love again after what their ex did to them. The journey was not easy, especially with Elliot’s trauma and Ken's first impression as ‘the number nine' completed with his serial ONS reputations didn’t quite helping to give a good impression on their first meet. So they need to learn how to open their heart and trust again and survived the poison Ken’s asshole ex did to ruin their fairly new relationship before they finally have their HEA.
There’s few things that bother me a bit in this book which didn’t sit quite well with the story that come from both Ken and Elliot side. But since I’m in a very cheesy messy mood while reading this book I choose to blind myself to all those not logic things that happen in this book and let myself ‘enjoying’ the story.
There are few secondary characters here that made me curious. I want to know more about Max and Finley story and also Ken's friend, Bentley. I hope they’ll have their own book soon.
