Sugar Daddy by Sawyer Bennett
3.0

At the tender age of sixteen Sela lost her virginity when she was drugged and raped at a college party. She assumed she was damaged beyond repair and would never be able to have a normal, loving relationship with a man. Now at twenty-six she simply exists with only random, meaningless relationships in her life.

Suddenly while watching t.v. Sela sees one of her rapists (JT), the only one whose face she saw, and she becomes hell bent on exacting revenge. After a failed attempt to attract his attention at dating sites couples mixer Sela must find a new inside track. She finds it with JT’s business partner, Beckett. Problem is, she starts dating Beck to get inside opportunities at JT and ends up falling for him. Sela is very strong and very determined to get her revenge but when she starts having feelings for Beck she can’t decide if she should continue on with her plan or give it up for a chance at happiness.

I really liked the premise behind this story as it is not one you see very often but some areas of the plot felt rushed to me. Sela went from disturbed rape victim who cannot have a functioning relationship to falling in love very quickly which seemed a little unrealistic to me. I actually thought I knew where this story was going and it did surprise me but taking a slightly different direction with its plot twist.

This ends in a cliffhanger so be prepared to wait for resolution! Book #2, Sugar Rush, will be released in October. I think that this revenge thriller has potential and if you can overlook some minor, slightly unbelievable things you will like it. I will give a warning though that if rape is a trigger for you that you steer clear of this series. No detailed scenes are portrayed in this first book but there is a possibility of it in this series.
