This is the first book by Jade West that I read and it's the reason I'm completely hooked on her as an author. I read Sugar Daddies in May 2021 after I saw a bunch of people talk about it on Tiktok. I read the description and was intrigued by the storyline. This book was not what I expected in the best way. I was honestly expecting something that was mostly spice and not too much plot/character development. I love those kind of books, so I was totally ready for that. I was not ready for what this book actually is and how much it blew me away. Jade's ability to write immersive, deep, and emotional stories is definitely her superpower. She's so good at it.

I know we're not supposed to have favorites since they all get to be together, but I completely favor Carl over Rick. I love Rick, but Carl is just wonderful. He was a bit apprehensive at first because of how past relationships have gone, so the allure of him was intriguing. He's a bit intense, serious, and intimidating, yet there is this mysterious side to him. Rick is the opposite of that. He is carefree, an open book, and full of light. Once Carl softened and let Katie in, I was a total goner. Carl has so many layers to him that pull you in. He's smart, loyal, cares about the people in his life, full of love, and so incredibly hot. I loved how much he loved Katie and wanted her to be her best self. He supported her through her family troubles, helped her with her internship, and  helped her see that she might be wrong about some grudges she was holding. I was over the moon in love with him when he told Katie's dad how much her horse meant to her. It showed how well he knew Katie and the love he has for her.

I enjoyed Katie as well. She had a lot going on with her family dynamics, her love for Samson, Carl & Rick, and wanting to live out her dreams. Katie has a level of maturity and depth to her that I enjoyed. She had her petty moments, but I understood where she was coming from most of the time. I liked getting to see her growth around her family dynamics. I felt for her so much towards the end with what happened, but I was happy to see that it all worked out and her dreams came true. Even dreams she didn't know she had.

The spice in this book is soooooo good. Y'all, it's so hot, smutty, and definitely has some taboo elements. The mouths on these men had me in a tizzy and the things they did with Katie were HOT. I've said this before, but Jade writes some of the best spice I've ever read and this book is no exception. I loved the scenes with all of them together the most, but I like that she gave us scenes with the different pairings because it showcased what a polyamorous relationship looks like. There's a kitchen scene with a mirror that is so hot and an office scene 😍

I will say that I honestly didn't see the twist coming. Maybe I should've, but I didn't, which made it hit that much more for me. It's funny because the twist is something I don't want for myself personally, but also something I want for couples in romance books all the time. In interconnected standalones, I always word search for the previous couple. So I was personally on team "DO IT", but I get why there was apprehension given the different dynamics at play (trying not to spoil it). I appreciated that Rick and Carl gave Katie space, didn't pressure her, and ultimately let her decide. I cried when she told them what she wanted to do because it was a beautiful moment. Also, it was super hot. If you know, you know!

I couldn't recommend this book enough! I loved everything about this trio and miss them all the time. Make sure you read Teach Me Dirty, too, because Mark and Helen are amazing together. My review for that book was posted on December 26th, 2021, if you want to see what I'm talking about.

Book Information

Release date: July 7th, 2016

Description:
*The description comes directly from the Amazon's website*

A sugar daddy website doesn't seem a sound basis for an A1 life plan, but I'm a small town girl with big dreams, and there's this one advert, I can't stop thinking about...

Two hot guys seeking their Little Miss Right.
Someone who can entertain them, amuse them, fit in with their corporate schedule.
And sex. They want sex. 
Lots of sex.
Bonus, right? One big dose of epic win.

Of course, guys like Carl and Rick have their conditions. One being that they come together, or not at all.
Hell, I can live with that.

And their are no skeletons in their designer closet, none that I can find.
Just two hot sugar daddies, with particular tastes, nothing to worry about.

Until Carl and Rick spill the big one, the one that sends the girls running. A whole string of them before me, running to the hills without so much as a backward glance.

Maybe I should run, too. Thanks but no thanks, see you guys around, nice knowing you.
But I'm already in way too deep for that.
