This is a sexy read, but even though I liked the characters as individuals, I did have some difficulty feeling the connection between the characters in the beginning. Dylan is the son of a prominent Toronto family but he also owns a secret online sugar daddy website. Simone, a journalist, wants to ferret out the secrets of this website and make her mark as an investigative reporter. Given how secretive Dylan is of his website, I was surprised on how quickly he responded to Simone’s fishing tactic especially given that she was a reporter. However, once they do get together, the smoulder begins – dare I say almost too much since I was skipping some of them.. (And I like my sexy times!) Interesting family dynamics between Simone and her father. The story touches on mental illness in a compassionate way. A good read.
I received a copy from Netgalley. This is my unbiased review.
This was a smart and sexy read, with two opposites who definitely attract! Dylan is settled and know what he wants and is completely upfront about it. He has a sexy side that is burning hot as well, and Simone matches him spark to spark. Upbeat and optimistic, Simone challenges the serious businessman, and her playfulness is contagious. That is, until reality hits, and things fall apart. Both Simone and Dylan need to seriously think about what they are so sure about themselves. Loved the dialogue and banter between these two characters, and their heat was off the charts sexy!
This is a fun story with a couple of interesting characters. She is a reporter looking to get her big break by revealing a story about a Sugar Daddy website and it’s mysterious owner. And for ‘research’ purposes, she joins the site and contacts the owner. Miraculously, said owner replies and the pair begin their flirting game. She is honest and ethical and tells it like it is… as well as being honest and open with her sexuality. He doesn’t believe in love thus starting the website so people can meet for non-committal relationships, though even before they ever meet face to face, he’s smitten for this women he only knows through texts. I love how her character isn’t shy about letting him know what she likes or wants, yet easily blushes about certain things. He is also open about what his desires are no matter how unconventional they may be. Barely knowing each other they share things with each other that they don’t otherwise openly share. While a majority of their relationship (and the book) revolves around the sexual aspect, we get to see their true hearts and what makes them the people they are. The good and the bad. There’s a little suspense as we anticipate what happens, not only with the couple but also with the articles she is writing and the possible negative aftermath. There are laughs. Not really any tears, but there are one or two heart warming/breaking moments. Of course there is lots and lots of sex… deeming this a read for mature audiences. It’s a well written story. Alternating between POVs.
