REVIEW: SUGAR AND OTHER LUXURIES BY EVERLY SCOTT


Katherine Humphries wants to find the love of her life.

As a recovering perfectionist who hasn’t been on a date in five years, finding love is harder than she thought. Faced with beginning her twenty-sixth year of life insecure and living in Los Angeles where men and women either ignore or insult her curvy existence, Katherine decides to make dating her bitch. She’s not changing her curvy body. She won’t put down the dessert. And she isn’t going to apologize for any of it.

Her first night out ends nothing like she’d planned. When a flirty and rugged New Yorker asks for her phone number, Katherine freezes. She’s ready to give up before heartbreak happens. That is, until she meets a polyamorous, fairy-godmother-wanna-be, Hunter. The self proclaimed Queen of Pleasure coaches Katherine on badass, dating etiquette. Hunter’s first rule? Don’t fall in love. The second rule? Perfection doesn’t exist.

But when a bet with a sexy and sensitive music teacher changes her perspective on the dating game, Katherine learns that breaking badass rule #1 before loving every inch of herself might spell trouble. On the other hand, breaking rules might be exactly what Katherine needs to discover the true power of a woman’s body, the sugary sweetness of indulgence, and whether saying yes to her dream life against the wishes of advice-slinging friends will lead to heartache or harmony.

REVIEW

3/5 STARS

Received free book copy for honest review.

Katherine wants to find true love but the process of finding true love is not easy. She reaches her twenty-sixth birthday feeling insecure and feeling frustrated about her body. She is a curvy woman and she decides that she’s not going to change that for anybody.

I was very excited to start this book. The cover grabbed my attention right away. I love sweets and those macaroons look delicious. Everything about the cover is eye catching. When I saw it I couldn’t pass it and have to read it. The synopsis sounds very intriguing and interesting. This story is about Katherine overcoming her insecurity and finding love along the way.

I super love the beginning of this book but then as I read on it wasn’t as exciting as I thought it would be. It was an enjoyable and light read but it was one of those books that I want to finish as soon as possible because I had lost interest. Initially I like Katherine and the other characters but as I kept reading they seem less appealing to me. I recommend this book to those who’s looking for a light read.
