Sugar Lips

Naughty Holiday Nights #4

by Aria Cole

When Nolan Redford finds a masked beauty in his arms at the office Halloween party, he's instantly taken. Her seductive curves contradict her innocent smile--she's sweet, uninhibited, and just the woman he needs to calm the animal inside. Tangled in a web of unbridled passion, their chemistry is combustible before masks are removed and true identities finally revealed. Reese Hamilton is the last woman Nolan should want in his bed, but little does she know he’s already addicted to her sweet taste. He’s taking steps to make her his—to make sure she never gets away. Sugar Lips is over-the-top alpha male goodness, sweet enough to induce a toothache, and so sizzling Halloween will never be the same. Make a chocolate martini and spice up your night with Nolan and his sweet treat, Reese—love stories this scorching should be illegal!

[Sophia Triad · Rating 3 out of 5]

Nice book cover. Nice smut. Nice games with a lollipop and other candies.
Reese falls in love with her daddy's best friend.
It is NOT a story with a daddy king trope, but there is a big age difference between the two main characters.

A quick halloween story about Nolan and Reese.

Nolan has his own firm, Hamilton and Redford. He's a workaholic. He never found the right woman to start a family with so he decided to adopt a baby, now 12 year old, Melody.

Reese is the daughter of his best friend and also partner at the firm. It's their yearly halloween party and Reese was there as her dad's date for the night. They bumped into each other not knowing who the other was because of the masks they're wearing.

It's nice that Nolan didn't run or push her away after finding out the woman he bumped into was his best friend's daughter. It's a fast read but still an enjoyable one.

It has epilogues. Married with children (Melody and a baby).

Nolan and Reese have instant chemistry when they meet at a Halloween party. Chemistry so intense it cannot be ignored even when they find out each other’s identity.

I’m not usually a fan of novellas, because I never feel like I get enough of a story. While there is not a whole lot of back story and relationship building, I couldn’t help but love Nolan and Reese’s story. I actually wanted more of them, I wanted to see the reactions of a certain person when their relationship went public, but that’s just me being selfish. The epilogue is adorable and sexy. I would definitely love to see more of this couple, even if it is as secondary characters in future books.

Another thing I like is Sugar Lips is only $.99, which I feel is a fair price for a novella of it's length.

Sugar Lips is a short, sexy, semi-taboo, cavity inducing sweet story that will leave you smiling when you finish it!

Nolan, a lawyer, is in pain, not literally, but in a "I wish I could leave this stupid Halloween party at my office where I already spend too much time" way. At the black mask hiding some of his face may also cover the expressions he's making, such as disgust at a co-worker, annoyance at being there, lust for the sexy woman, glee as he begins making his escape, and...woah, where'd she come from and who is she? Not only is she sexy, and dressed to start one part of his body while stopping another, but she made him smile...something he hasn't done in too long. Though she claims she's there with a friend, and if it's a guy, at least Nolan knows people that can defend him for murder, she agrees to sharing a drink in his office. It isn't long before he sees the attraction is mutual and intense, and then they're acting on it, his mouth crashing down on hers. Oh the things he wants to do to her, and has already started on, along with staking his claim. Now, he just needs to know the name of his future...you've got to be kidding...it's his partner's daughter, and he's known her since she was in pigtails. But that little girl is eclipsed by the beautiful young woman she's become.

Reese, so completely turned on she can't think straight, is shocked to see the man who'd literally just made a treat out of her is Nolan, her dad's best friend and partner in their law firm. How did she not see it? She's lusted after him for years. In her defense, the hallway was dark, and he was wearing a mask, so...phew, not her fault. Though she may have been hoping to see Nolan at the party, it has been quite a few years after all, she had come to spend time with her dad, who she also hadn't seen in a while. She's resigned now, knowing anything further happening with Nolan wasn't going to happen. Or was it?

"You're not like any woman I've ever met in my life. Not throwing that away." - Nolan

Will Nolan and Reese's weekend turn into forever? What will Reese's parents think about their relationship? Is a HEA possible?

One-click now and follow along as two people, after years of no contact, realize the connection they've always had due to a mutual loved one has become so much more than either ever expected.

5 Stars!

If Aria Cole has written it, I've read it. She's a well known author who writes contemporary romance by day and smutty desires by night. It's brilliant, sexy, over the top, and insta-everything in all of the best ways possible.

Halloween just got a whole lot more naughtier...

Sugar Lips was a sweet and steamy little romance that had my kindle overheating and left me squirming in my seat. Reese and Nolan were the perfect pair with undeniable chemistry and an unforgettable journey.

If you like your bedtime stories a whole lot of naughty and nice.... then Aria is your girl.

I highly recommend this book.

This one was pretty fast pace and cute halloween fic.

Reese and Nolan meet at the company halloween party they are getting down and dirty in his office until Reese gives him her full name and he says SHIT!!! thats his friends/coworkers daughter they stop for a second and well things get heated after that they dont care about the age gap or who her father is.

There is no drama at all.. he also has a daughter but you dont see her until the epilogue.. and shes adopted so no exs

No ow/om drama, no cheating, sexy times, Virgin gal & No manwhore

Recommend- yes/maybe
Cover-⭐⭐⭐

Older/younger couple
Single father
No condom
Safe
Candy kink
Hea
Epilogue

[GimmeAllTheWerdssss]

There are just some things that don’t go anywhere near a woman’s pussy....a wet and sticky sucker is one of them. I was fine with the OTT insta love and teasing till then..I tried to continue but he repeatedly licked the sucker and then “spanked” her pussy with it and all I could think was HAIRBALL!!!

I’m not gonna rate because it would be completely unfair to the over all story...because ...well...HAIRBALL!!

[Jennifer McGurk Finn · Rating 4 out of 5]

I thought Aria Cole was losing her mojo after reading a few so-so books but she's back with the winners recently. Nolan Redford is 39 years old, a successful lawyer, he has his own practice with his partner, John Hamilton. It's the annual office Halloween party and Nolan is both annoyed and bored. Tired of the party he decides to escape to his office for a drink alone. On his way there he bumps into a woman in a sexy dress wearing a mask. He's also wearing a mask so neither of them can see the other clearly. He does feel an electric reaction to the woman so he invites her into his office for a drink. After doing some very naughty things involving candy corn he asks the stranger her name. He certainly was not expecting the sexy as hell woman to be Reese Hamilton, his partner's daughter. Reese has had a crush on Nolan for a long time and she's not sorry about what happened. Nolan knows it's wrong but he's too selfish to care so he takes Reese home with him. I do think it's a little weird that he has a daughter and it wasn't mentioned to the reader until after their first night together but other than that I liked it.

[Linda Barrett · Rating 4 out of 5]

This is one short,sweet and sexy novella you can really sink your teeth into.
I loved this Halloween themed novella and Reece and Nolan's story definitely wet my appetite.
This story was so sugary sweet it will make you swoon and the hot taboo really added to my reading pleasure.
It's hot as hell sugary spankings with a hint of chocolate spread.
Reece has loved Nolan for years and an office Halloween party gives her everything she could possibly desire.
Nolan had everything except for the one thing he thought he didn't need.
Reece enters his life again and makes his family complete.
This novella is the perfect Halloween treat so I recommend you one click it asap.

5 star

I was pulled right into this story. The story has laughs, steam, and heartbreak.

This is Reese and Nolan’s story. Reese has wanted Nolan for years, but she thinks he never noticed her. This Halloween party that is masked is her chance at getting him at least for one night. Nolan wanted her when he first saw her even in the mask. But Reese thinks when the mask is removed he is going to let her go. She is in for a big surprise as he wants her even more. One night of passion is not ever going to be enough for him. He wants her forever and is willing to go to great lengths to get her and keep her.

I felt I could connect with the characters and the story was a great read.

I highly recommend this book

[Janice Somers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really enjoyed reading Nolan and Reese's story. This is a quick read with sexy candy time.
The annual office Halloween party and everyone are wearing masks. When Nolan goes to his office to call a car to take him home he bumps into a beautiful woman that he is instantly attracted to.
Reese, still has her mask on and recognizes Nolan instantly. She's crushed on him growing up and the crush has turned to loving him.

What I didn't like about this book is, I loved it.

I Voluntarily reviewed a copy of this book

What a hot and sexy read this was. Short and steamy
Nolan is a take no charge honest and totally dirty talker. Reese is a sassy, sweet and sexy girl who has had a crush on Nolan since she was a teenager.
One night is all it takes to get exactly what she wants. And Nolan has just made all her secret dirty fantasies come true.
Halloween just got more sexy than scary.

3.5*

A sugary sweet short Halloween treat!
I'm not one who usually likes a father's best friend story but this was just so decadent I couldn't help myself. Plus it's a holiday novella, right at Halloween, that I really couldn't resist. Add in the fact he's a single dad, and yeah I'll take it!
For those who like sexy, steamy little reads, especially when they're centered around a holiday, this is a perfect escape!

Sugar Lips is a Halloween-themed story that's under 50 pages, and it's a steamy, sweet, and sticky good time. 😈

Reese is forbidden to Nolan, but that doesn't stop him from getting a taste, and now that he's had a taste, there's nothing that will stand in his way of making her his forever.

Nolan and Reese's story is absolutely amazing!! This story is not long and it is super sexy. Nolan goes to his office to call for a ride to come and take him home when he bumps into this very beautiful masked woman whom he is instantly attracted to. Reese knows Nolan from when she was growing up and is hurt he doesn’t recognize her. She is still attracted to him and the only reason she is at this party is she is her dad’s date. She finds her attraction has turned to love when it comes to Nolan. This story is not really a 2nd chance love story but more of a taboo older man/younger woman love story and I loved it. Only thing I wish was it was longer. This has so many fun and sexy parts in it along with the reveal when Nolan realizes who Reese is… trust me, you will love this story too.


My Rating: 4.6 stars *****
“I received an advanced copy of this book from the author at no cost to me."

[Liz ~ Liz's Reading Life · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sugar Lips is a fun, intense, erotic story that will get your pulse racing and your panties melting.

Nolan is a man that knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it. He smart, honest, loyal, and dirty. He'll whisper all the naughty he wants to do to you in your ear and then deliver each and every one of them. And then he'll stop at nothing to make all your dreams, desires, and wishes comes true.

Reese is sassy and sexy. When she finally gets a taste of the man she's dreamed about for years, she stops at nothing to make all her fantasies come to true. She exactly the type of woman that a man like Nolan needs.

I loved very filthy second of Sugar Lips, it satisfied that sweet tooth with just the right about of sugar.

If you are craving a sweet treat to quench your hunger, then I highly recommend you pick up Sugar Lips and enjoy this tasty morsel.

[Roanne Germaine]

SUGAR LIPS is a sweet Halloween read about a billionaire who fell in love with his business partner's daughter, after having not seen her for three years. Reece was secretly in love with Nolan for years. So when he flirted with her at the office Halloween masquerade party, she revealed herself to him and from then on, they were hot and inseparable.

This was quite a fantastic sexy read, perfect for Halloween as all the major events that happened in Nolan and Reese's life during this time. Nolan had the sweetest tooth and he was also the sweetest. And everytime I eat Pop Rocks I will remember a particularly explosive scene. *winks*

I have read an advanced copy of this book and this is a fair and honest review and recommendation voluntarily shared.

[Book Snob Sue · Rating 4 out of 5]

I ate this book up....pun intended, so sweet. And I love, love the cover. Nolan sees Reece at an off ice party where everyone is dressed up. These two have amazing chemistry and the next thing you know he had her on top of his desk, doing deliciously sweet things to her. He finds out she is his business partners daughter...all grown up. He takes her home with him for the weekend, and I have to say I loved the candy play *winks*.

Nolan has a 12 yr old daughter that he had a adopted when she was a baby. I really loved this part of him, so sweet. He’s pretty much devoted his life to her and his job. Once he has Reece, he knows he wants more kids right away....so we get some baby batter, a quickie wedding and a super steamy epilogue. Adored this book.

Sugar Lips - Aria Cole

Sugar Lips is a short, sexy, slightly taboo story sure to seduce your imagination and tantalise your reading pleasure.

Aria Cole delivers this novella at a fast pace but doesn’t miss a beat. Her characters are well developed and the back story is substantial enough to drive the story forward, with particular attention to the heat factor between Reese and Nolan.

Definitely a satisfying quick read, well worth your time.
