Sugar by Seressia Glass

4.0

Siobhan is a bakery co-owner by day and a burlesque dancer by night. She’s also a recovering addict and doesn’t think her life has any room in it for love, so when Charlie, who runs a marketing company, starts courting both her business and her heart, she’s not having it, especially because she can tell he’s a lot younger than she is. Charlie has his own reasons to avoid commitment, but he’s totally pulled in by Siobhan’s retro, rockabilly vibe. (Seriously, I’d have read this book for the descriptions of her outfits alone. Hashtag pasties.) Their chemistry is explosive, but will that be enough to sustain them once the honeymoon phase is over and family drama from both sides enters the mix? This has to be one of the most criminally underrated series ever. It’s super sultry but doesn’t gloss over the serious issues it brings up. I loved how even though Siobhan has made terrible choices in the past, the book is about her in recovery, having taken responsibility for her mistakes and built her life back up, forming a tight-knit friend group and a successful business. I really appreciate a hard-won HEA, and Siobhan’s is definitely that.
