A captivating read, Susan and Marcus riveting characters and storyline written beautifully
Marcus had been interested in the delightful redhead even before they had come to an agreement and the contract had been drawn up between them both and them unlike every other grasping woman chasing wealth and expectation she actually still had a heart and her feelings were genuine and real.
Susan has a very definite need and that is that she is a submissive and she wants to be submissive to a strong man, a kind and honest man that can be trusted and that is good at guiding his submissive where and when it is needed and disciplining on the occurrences this is a factor.
When the contract that has been drawn up between them the promises that are made and that are agreed to from Marcus are that in the next year that he will be her guide in her submission to him, that she will be loved and cared for at the end of the year he would deposit the agreed amount into her account for her to use as she wished.
Susan promises that she will be his lover, that she will adhere to his submissive wants and desires and in the year that they are together she will live with him and should she hail to meet an agreed stipulation she will be discipline in varying degrees depending on the failure or defiance. Susan and Marcus have agreed on so many aspects of this agreement and yet it seems that this rich and successful man will still surprise her.
Unfortunately, what they had forgotten to take into consideration was the fact that contracts have an end time and it seems to creep up on both Susan and Marcus, the year passed without them even realising as they were in this this relationship for real but were not sure how to tell each other these truths.
I will not spoil the plot by giving anything away and I know that readers will be as earnest to discover the final outcome for themselves and I know that they will be as totally blown away by this wonderful story as I have been.
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the wonderful writing.

Book 2 in Sugar Babies Trilogy is definetely a must read. OMG I totally devoured this book.
Susan oh boy she is a force to be reckoned with. Marcus has his hands full with this little spit fire. Don't get me wrong. I totally love Susan. I laughed so hard several times with this couple. They are truly two pieces of a puzzle that fit together.
Kelsey and Ty! Yes yes yes I am so happy for this couple.
Each couple goes through their struggles, emotions, fears and learning more about each other.
And of course the spankings. Yes please!
This story is very well written. I enjoyed all the characters. I laughed alot and cried a little. I enjoyed all the characters being together for Celebrating Ty and Kelsey.
Stevie is a wonderful fun author. I truly enjoy reading her books.
I highly recommend this book and this Trilogy. I'm so very excited for book 3. I'm sure there will be more laughter and a few tears while I read.
Enjoy this very amazing book everyone.

This is another fun book that has the story of two different couples. Marcus and Susan were such a fun couple. She's a complete firecracker and a force to be reconned with - her red hair is an indicator of her temper ;P There's no denying, though, how perfectly they fit together. Ty and Kelsey, the other couple, also have their trials to work through. I giggled away at parts of their story and got quite a kick out of all the gals coming together for the wedding with pink bottoms. Lol! Expect to be fully engaged as you follow both couples to their HEA. I'm looking forward to the next Sugar Babies novel :D

After getting over the first stage our couple are now testing their boundaries or mainly said their terms on their contracts.
This books concentrates mostly on two couples, and all their struggles, achievements, discoveries, jealousies, until one of them have their ceremony and the other are hoping to achieve.
There’s teasing, shenanigans, insecurities, discipline, but also a little heartbreak.
Our beloved couples are on their way to happiness, but a little escape brings discipline to the front.
A couple new developments are on the horizon along side some changes for the future.

Sue is a force to be reckoned with and that's not necessarily appreciated by all. I wish each couple had their own books so they could get the focus they deserve, but I can't be too made because we do get all of their stories with the way the books in this series are written. Marcus gave us near the end, and I must say I thought the same thing as Susan when the walk started. I am kind of nervous to see what comes next for them but cannot wait for it.

What an explosive story where we catch up with Ty and Kelsey, Marcus and Susan, Sam and Johanna, Jeff and Elena, Mike and Brandy, John and Erica where they all travel to Vegas for the wedding of TY and Kelsey and where Susan lives up to her exploits and mostly all the ladies come to the wedding with hot backsides and Susan once again lives up to her red haired temper.

I was given an advanced copy of this book to read and I am reviewing with my honest and fair opinion.

'Come along and watch the magic unfold in this spicy Rom-Com romance novel guaranteed to make you laugh out loud while fanning yourself.'

The characters were very appealing and likeable and complicated and perfectly steamy together. Plot was intriguing and well paced. World building was solidly drawn and impressive. Enjoyed immensely and highly recommend.

Grab a copy, kick back and enjoy!.

Ms. MacFarlane definitely had me smiling throughout this story!

Susan and Kelsey couldn't have been more opposite and Marcus and Ty similarly so!

The relationship dynamics were so much fun to read about.

Will one year end both of their relationships, or will the matches become permanent?

I had so much fun living in these two relationships for hours!

I loved reading this book! It's the second book in the Sugar Babies series. The storyline is great and once you start reading it, you won't want to put it down. The humor is fantastic and laugh out loud funny. I couldn't get enough! I can't wait to read more books by Stevie.

This was such a fun book to read! Each couple has different personalities, characteristics, mannerisms, and dynamics. It flows so well though. I love each couple and both books immensely. Looking forward to the next one. I am voluntarily leaving a review.
