It’s a deal
Effie is very young and blows her scholarship. So, she agrees to be a Sugar Baby.
Zander is older, wealthy and damaged inside and out from an accident and his ex.
He agrees to be her Sugar Daddy and pay off her schooling in exchange for, you guessed it.
This is the third book in the Adrenaline Series and it is my favorite so far. It can be heard as a standalone. Effie is a young woman on the verge of graduating when she must find a way to earn some money to pay for school when she loses her scholarship. Zander is a wealthy man who is dealing with his own demons due to an accident which left him an amputee. Effie meets Zander at a Sugar Daddy event and the attraction is instantaneous between them. As with any relationship of this type, a contract is designed and implemented. However, as the two grow closer, there are challenges that await them. Narrator Jonathan Tratar did a wonderful job narrating this book. His vocal and tonal range is highlighted as he effortlessly switched between the characters making it easy to distinguish who was speaking. The inflection of a southern drawl that he used was just right. This is one audiobook that will have any listener swept away and feel like he/she is part of the story. Ms. Bardot penned an emotional, steamy read that is brought to life by Mr. Tratar in the best way. I recommend this audiobook.
This is the third book in the Adrenaline Series. This series has intertwined characters. Effie and Zander’s Sugar Girl and Sugar Daddy story is sweet, and sexy. Effie is naive, innocent, fun, kind, and supportive. Zander is alpha, dominant, caring, and protective. This story can be listened has standalone. The supporting characters are great. The storyline is original, filled with drama. Jonathan Tratar did a good job with the narration.
This was an excellent story involving a shy, nerd, Effie, whose college scholarship is ended when she has one summer semester to go. Her best friend talks her into attending a sugar baby gala at which she is picked and contracts with Zander King, who also has a sad story. Although he made millions with his outfitting company, he lost his right arm and his girlfriend and is trying to recoup from depression. During the first two months of their contract, they have huge effects on each other. You will enjoy every word of this 400+ page book, laughing and crying as you go. In the end the author wraps everything beautifully!
Sugar Love by Callie Bardot is book Three in the Adrenaline Series. This is the story of Effie and Zander. I haven’t read the previous books, so for me this was a standalone book.
Zander is a rich adventures man who ended up getting hurt on one of his adventures but also was hurt emotional by an ex. So he isn’t so forth coming with his feelings. Zander is talked into attending a ‘Sugar Daddy’ party where he ends up spotting Effie. Effie is young college student who has learned she is going to loose her scholarship so she need lot of money quick. So her friend talks her into be a ‘Sugar Baby’. Things of course don’t go easy for these two as love never can be simple.
I had a great time reading the storyline and getting to know the characters. The are amazing and the storyline was greatly entertaining with plenty of steam and twists to satisfy my reading needs. I look forward to reading more by this author.

Effie was going to lose her money for her college and she had to find other ways to pay so her best friend suggested they be sugar babies. Zander didn’t even want to be at the sugar baby event. Then he saw Effie. Even though he had been put through the ringer with his ex something about Effie called to him but he made her sign a contract. Then they fell for each other but wouldn’t admit it and then everything blew up. Would they make it out with their lives in tact? Good read.

Effie is in need of money, for school.
Zander is the one to give for a price.
A party later and she signed on the dotted line.
She really didn’t know what she was getting into with Zander.
He is damaged and for most of the book his heart is closed to everyone.
Effie on the other hand goes from any and naive to bold and independent.
During their time together you will read about anger, resentment, jealousy, ambition, healing, growth emotionally and physically.
There may be some humor a little bit of sex and a unique relationship between two damaged people.

This is the third novel of her Adrenaline stories. This story follows a nerdy geek bio-physiology student Effie D’Archangel and damaged (but wealthy) works-class climber Zander King. The chemistry between Effie and Zander is off the charts hot!!!! This book was a great addition to this series.

Sugar Love is a sugar rush
Sugar Love is the first book I have read by Callie Bardot. As I had not read the previous book in the Adrenaline series I was not sure what to expect. But the book description intrigued me, as I have been reading a few “Sugar Daddy” books lately, so I figured I would try this “new to me” author.
I liked the writing style of the author and found the book to be well written. It had a nicely developed story-line that had a good emotional component to it. The characters are well written with depth and human frailty but also strength which they draw from each other.
I am glad that I picked up this book and look forward to reading more by this author in the future.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
Excellent!
Effie, a down on her luck college student, is desperate to continue her schooling. Zander, a billionaire adventurer is 1 year out of loosing a limb. Their meeting at a sugar baby / sugar daddy party was never supposed to lead to love …but it did. Not a short read but a wonderful story and a great HEA.

Zander – a wounded man with secrets. Effie – an insecure gorgeous geek in need of a helping hand. What could they possibly have in common? He needs her tender heart. She needs his adventurous spirit. Will they be able to help each other come to terms with their pasts? Will their pasts tear them apart and destroy their futures? Only they can decide if they can overcome all the obstacles standing in their way! I haven’t sought out many billionaire romances in the past. After this book, I will definitely be searching out more

This is a great that is really intriguing I love the storyline and how the Author has brought out the Characters at the scenery. I definitely recommend this read.

Calinda B.’s Sugar Baby is the third novel of her Adrenaline stories, which is a favorite series of mine. Unlike the first two stories in that series which focused on the love stories of rock band lead singer Dante Vega and his band’s drummer, this story starred nerdy geek bio-physiology student Effie D’Archangel and damaged (but wealthy) works-class climber (and Dante Vega best buddy) Zander King. The Sugar Love title comes from how the relationship of these two started out (and her role in the relationship), but I’m not giving things away other than to note that this is one heck of a superb tale. But for the fact that I’m literally dictating this review to my husband from my hospital bed I could go on and on with praises. The book definitely deserves it. Since I can’t do that I will simply note that the book is most definitely one to read, and it is easy to highly recommend.
The great character and storyline development hooked me right from the very first page! However, it was the chemistry between Effie and Zander that kept me glued to my kindle until the very last page!
Effie and Zander were both very damaged characters. One by her family the other by the ex from hell. Their relationship started out unconventionally but slowly blossomed to more even though there was a contract holding them both back. I enjoyed watching the characters heal and the relationship grow. This story was full of drama, passion, healing, and learning to trust yourself. The characters took a great journey of self discovery and healing.
Great story! Effie is a college student who loses her scholarship and must come up with a quick way to make a lot of money so she can stay in school. Zander is closed off emotionally due to an accident that left him an amputee and a crazy ex girlfriend. Both are convinced by their friends to attend a Sugar Daddy party and the attraction is instant when they meet. While their relationship starts off as a transaction, their feelings soon become real, however there are outside forces that threaten their happiness. A great read, steamy and romantic with some intrigue and action.
