I was looking for a series to read and came across this one.
This is a great start to this series and I can’t wait to dive into this series which is on different couples.
Polly and Luke.
The CEO and the pastry baker.
I have read NL Spiral of Bliss series and loved it so I had no doubts here.
It really is a sweet romantic story. He’s guarded, women have tried to screw him over and she’s a free spirit. Opposites attract are my fave reads.
He scored major brownies points with how he bragged about her, you will totally swoon. Polly is good for him too, he needed to find more fun in his life.

Loved it along with the rest of the series. Read this book twice
Delicious. Loved how confident Polly was. Was a fabulous story. Would have liked to see more of them at the end though.
This was indeed sweet and sexy thanks to the handsome and yummy CEO Luke Stone of Sugar Rush candy company. He was just what baker Polly Lockhart needed to relax and have a good time but of course their friendship turned out to be so much more than fun.
Polly was an honest, open and trusting woman who just wanted to save her mother’s bakery. She was dedicated and determined in her work to accomplish her goal. She had a close group of friends and a sister Hannah which she wasn’t as close to anymore. When she met Luke at that bar it was the beginning of something new and special.
I really enjoyed Polly and Luke’s relationship and how it changed them both in particular Luke. He had always been a workaholic because of a certain experience in his past but the way Polly came into his life and brightened it was the heart of this story. She showed him how to have fun, to enjoy life. He wasn’t into commitment and just wanted it to be casual. But because of Polly’s easygoing personality Luke couldn’t stay away. Their interactions were so much fun and their chemistry delicious just like his candy. Their slowly build romance was well written with some great heat and tension.
The other characters were also great and I enjoyed the Lockhart and Stone family dynamics. Luke’s brother Evan was a fabulous brother who had his own issues to deal with but was always supportive of Luke. I can’t wait to read his story when Polly’s sister Hannah is going to be his opposite. Hannah had been traveling most of her life and not laying down roots anywhere. She hadn’t had as close a relationship to their mother as Polly had. I loved how Hannah also turned out to put her needs aside and help Polly when it mattered the most. These two was slowly on their way back to being sisters again and I enjoyed that part of the story too.
I can’t wait to get more of Hannah and Evan’s story in the sequel.
I’m a huge fan of Nina Lane and especially her Spiral of Bliss series because of a certain professor but with this book she has succeeded in creating not one but to fantastic male characters in the form of Luke and Evan Stone. They are definitely giving Professor West a run for his money.

I liked this one so much I read it twice in a row. It’s lovely.. sweet.. and I love the story of how they see themselves and how they see each other.
The first book in the Sugar Rush series, Sweet Dreams was a sugary confection of steamy fun I wished I’d discovered sooner! I loved Polly’s wit and bluntness and got a kick out of Luke’s protective, control freak habits. The relationship was low on angst and their chemistry was a happy concoction of fantastic, sexy sweetness that was hard to resist! Hilarious supporting characters round out an addictively engrossing read and I’m eager to read the next book in the series!
Liked the characters and good story. Hard to put down.
Great book. Strong female character and alpha male the combination was great.
Loved how the story played out. Wonderful book!
