I wanted to stay in Gray and India's SUGAR FILLED world.
Sign me up for a sugar daddy who looks like Gray Ellison! Holy shit, that guy was hot as hell and sweet as sugar. He would do anything for India despite all the road blocks our heroine put up in the beginning and at the end ( that fucking end scene nearly gave me a stroke! but I loved it)
When a hero/heroine are made for each other you feel the chemistry in the words on the page. These two were everything you want in a romance couple. It had enough bite and tension and guessing to keep the pages turning. It was hotter than hell on a summers day, the sex oozed palpable feelings both over the pages and my pitter-pattering heart.
And Gray, oh my sugar daddy gave GOOD dirty talk!
I think any woman who's ever suffered in silence with crippling anxiety should read this. India is every woman who has struggled. Theia captured it perfectly! I was nodding throughout with India's inner thoughts, agreeing with every emotion, self-flagellation and fucked up feeling she had and that debilitating feeling of not being good enough or juggling too much all at once.
It was captured impeccably well!
“Do you want me to come and get you? I will, India. Then you’ll see what happens when a desperate man gets his hands on a body like yours. When I touch that kind of heaven there’s gonna be no stopping my hunger dripping all over you.”
The patience of this man and the LOVE he had was astronomical!!!!
I love a heroine that isn't perfect. Perfection is just unrealistic even in a fictional world. I like someone I can relate to and India is that girl. She's unapologetic in the life she's led up to that point but feels so unfulfilled and hides from attachment. Scared to care for anyone for fear of losing them. She was not a passive heroine, far from it. She brought color to Gray's life and she was sexy as hell with it. Girl crush alert.
If you're looking for a sugar daddy story that isn't a sugar daddy story but really is a sugar daddy story then this is for you. It's sweet as can be, hotter than you can imagine and addictive reading with lines I want to roll around it because they were fucking gorgeous.
"I’ve found my one. And she was sitting in a café with sadness secreted away in her heart."

Well, well, well she's done it again! V has written what has to be one of the hottest books I've ever read.
Gray and India are absolutely perfect together, the chemistry between them is scorching and without giving too much away I want to say this is one of my favorite ever pairings.
Oh and one of "those Murphys" is featured <3
Absolutely fantastic and one I will be rereading.
Thanks to V for the ARC copy.

I’ve finished this read a mere 12 hours ago and I’m at a loss for words. I’ve yet to meet a book by this wonderful author that I haven’t loved yet. India is one of the most relatable characters I have ever come across and her story alone sucked me in feet first. “Nine days out of ten I could be the sassy, outspoken fun-loving woman I portrayed to the world.” Honestly, what woman goes through life not feeling this way at least once or ten times. Everyone going about saying that you deserve the best and you’re one of the happiest people they’ve met, yet inside you’re full of self-doubt and uncertainty. Theia has a way with words and detail unlike any other. Just enough inner banter and thoughts that you’re not overwhelmed or it hasn’t overtaken the story entirely.
Gray, that sweet sweet delicious Sugar Daddy. Where did he come from and where can we order one? Sugar Daddy’s-R-Us? He was the best, ‘normal’ human I’ve encountered, cause you know, I have read some farfetched characters in my time… Back to the story, because I seem to get distracted easily. I mean come on I’m sitting here trying to get my thoughts together on Grayson…. I had too many favorite lines to choose, but the first that stood out for me… “Could you spend an hour with someone more than 365 days ago and know they’re the person you’ll spend your life with? Who the hell knows, but there it was.” I think I fell in love with him instantly. I know I did when I first met him when he appeared in Taboo Love (shameless book plug. Though it’s not recommended to read Taboo Love Duet, I HIGHLY Recommend doing so.) Okay Okay, Back to Gray. He was drop dead wonderful… “I wanted everything from her. Not wanted. That was a watered-down version. Hungered.” … Could he get any better, I mean …. GEEZ!!!
There’s no overreaching with this story. No crazy side characters that just didn’t sit well and left you thinking “um, what?”. Just two people who fell in love (and lust) and I held on through to the end because honestly what female couldn’t read a book so full of love and of course really good sex, and not want to capture every savory morsel, devouring each bite slowly until we reach a truly wonderful happy ending.
“He found me, and he claimed me because I was his.”
Happy Reading!

Sugar Daddy- Gray Ellison- tall, gorgeous, sexy, well endowed, shoe mogul. He's so sweet that sugar wouldn't melt in his mouth, but India sure does.
Sugar Baby- India Rivera-blonde, sexy, sassy, beautiful with a lot of baggage and I'm not talking shoes. She had experienced loss and held onto her control with both hands and all ten toes.
This story just stole my heart, made me weak kneed, melted my panties and made me view the cereal aisle in a whole new way. I love romance, connection, hope, humor and intense devoted love. You get it all with this story. Gray sees his girl and it's love at first sight. When fate, the stars the universe or whatever twist of hand (or drunk text) lines him back up with Indie, he jumps in designer shoes first. Indie takes a little longer to let her guard down. She's too fragile, leery and exhausted from responsibility to believe in happily ever after. Thank God for persistence- "On my way, baby. I missed the f*** out of you. I need my mean-girl."
V gives good down and dirty sugar and this is evident by this book quote... “You taste dirty,” another lick. “My girl so sweet. Are you dirty for me?” GAH, I need a cool towel. i need this book to continue. Gray has become my favorite color. I loved this book and highly recommend it!

Let me start this review by saying, I fell HARD for Gray and India. However, I bulked hard core when I saw the words "Sugar Daddy". Not gonna lie, folks. I was like "ehhhhhhhhh, I don't know how I feel about the whole sugar daddy situation". With that being said, I'm thanking my lucky stars that I put my judgments aside and read this book. I wanted to read it in one sitting, but you know, kids/life/holiday weekend and all that jazz. Bottom line, though? SO. FREAKING. GOOD.
Story Line: So India, sweet 26 year old India is down on her luck. Okay, that's putting it mildly. She just lost her apartment and job. Like, on the same day. Good lord, she has the worst luck ever. That statement becomes even more true at least 3 more times this book, but I won't give away any juicy spoilers. So, like any normal New Yorker, she's drowning her sorrows at a bar. Drunk texts Gray whom she had a run in with a year ago and basically tells him she needs a sugar daddy. And he SHOWS UP at the bar. YEP. Here is where India and Gray's story truly begins. I mean, sure they had a little back story a year ago, but their love story, so to speak, picks up with a drunk India and a patiently waiting Gray to the rescue. A couple of my favorite details between these two are as follows - their nicknames for each other, their explosive laundry and the way they work through their differences. It's no surprise India called Gray s daddy. At first I kinda hated it (sorry!) but the nickname totally grew on me. And the same goes for his nickname for her. I'll wait to talk about the laundry, but believe you me, these two have their differences. But Gray is patient yet firm with his woman. And India's inner conversations with herself? Painfully honest and I love that.
Interaction: Gray's personality is a take no-BS kind of alpha. However, when it comes to India? He is total putty. I seriously love a man who can admit the woman in his life is his weakness. He makes it no secret that he would lasso the moon for her. But here's what I loved the most about India. She's funny, sure. But she makes it incredibly clear to Gray that she is not a sugar baby. She does NOT want to be a kept woman, essentially. And that was my biggest fear. I mean, who wants to read about a woman who lives off her man and does nothing but shop all day? I'm sorry, but I love to read REAL romance stories. Not ones where I cannot stand the freeloading heroine. India is the furthest thing from a freeloader. I promise you will fall in love with her snarky banter. She is so much stronger than she leads us to believe.
Laundry: Sweet baby Jesus. I'm fairly certain the laundry scenes in this book caused my Kindle to start smoking. Okay, not really since I would be demanding V replaced it immediately since her laundry scenes were so smoking hot. But, dialing back the exaggerations a bit, Gray and India have more sexual chemistry than almost any other characters I've ever read. They click emotionally, but I don't think there are sufficient words to describe how they click physically. Dead serious here. These two are insatiable and I'm 100 percent okay with that.
Depth: India's past sort of sucks. She built herself up and into one of the strongest female leading characters ever. And for that, I love her HARD. And Gray has his own hang ups. That in itself is enough depth for me to truly appreciate their love story. But no. That's not all. There are two big twists/turns towards to end of this book that had me physically removing my jaw from my desk. I legit did not see these things coming. So, not only had I fallen hard for these characters, but now I'm just plain head over heals for their entire book. Stellar characters, fantastic story line and totally unpredictable. Manhattan Sugar took the slightly taboo and distaste we have for sugar daddies and turned the tables. She took a story line I never thought I would enjoy, and made it one of my absolute favorite books.

3 Froot Loops Stars (To be honest between 2.8 - 2.9 Stars)
The story of Gray; default gorgeous man described as a really tall version of Henry Cavill, 42 and India; hazel eyes, blonde, tiny woman, 26
I think for me, It's love/lust at first sight or never because I couldn't be drawn to Gray from the moment he was introduced, and I just couldn’t like him later on. It’s super sad because I found myself being attracted to worse men, I mean, he is no killer, he is not abusive, he is successful, caring, good looking and he is in a lovely age for me, but I just couldn't click with him.
Unfortunately, anything he does turn me off. I think It’s also about how the author writes the sex scenes and the talking during, It wasn’t my cup of tea. Nope, nothing happened down there, not even tiny tingles.
It even bothers me that he keeps calling her Baby girl and Sweetheart all the time BUT I mean all the time.
He is too clingy, he doesn't even let heroine breathe sometimes and he does this for her? And she feels mean towards him because maybe he's not breaking her boundaries but he is just trying to help her. Come on girl! A second ago, she has this wild attitude, she is all about I am free independent, but well secret's out, nope she is not. She is just hurt because of her past trauma, but she is indeed all about being with her other half. And she is also a jealous control freak who wants to tell every other woman who her man is.
Still, I think India is fine. She has a bit mean attitude but she is also nice and fun in GENERAL.
Btw he plays the bass, but meeh I am not even super into this music stuff. Again no points to Gray.
Pros: India's addiction to cereals!! (But assuming cereals part in the story, the backside story should've been better tho.)
Also, I really like fact that they are older.
I said Gray is no bad man BUT:
Right after saying this:
"I've never been a man to dominating women, although being the aggressor is given," he says this:
"It's in my DNA to lead" I mean who the f are you?
He might look so sweet and caring on the outside, but let's not forget about his possessiveness and clinginess who knows what will happen if he loses it. He is the aggressor by right after all(!).
Iyk - my girl, I am hungry. Sex as dinner/food implication nope nope nope. (Or at least here, It doesn't work.)
Overall: He's not the worst, maybe it's not him it's me. It's an okay story, okay read, nothing special, but I have to admit I read the last %30 too fast and I am happy that it ended.
There's also a second book. Watcha say? Hahaha, funny, nope.

3.5 stars
The first 30% is so devoid of dialogue (seriously goes 10-15 pages between spoken exchanges with nothing but character thoughts) that I nearly DNF's. Thankfully, things got better but I couldn't shake the feeling that this would have been better if it hadn't been written in first person POV.
India was funny, stubborn and dealing with way too much. Her anxiety was earned but she was emotionally high maintenance. Gray was almost too perfect at first. An older Henry Cavill* look alike with gray eyes, lots of money that he loved to spend on her, a shoe company AND he played bass in a band. I was actually happy when he turned out to be a slightly crazy, possessive, obsessed clinger. 😁
For me, it made him less perfect because no one who was really healthy is ever that consumed with someone. Especially, someone they had only spoken to once a year in the past.
I really liked them together. Their flirting and banter was fun and I liked that they didn't instantly jump into bed no matter how much they wanted to. This is romantica so prepare for lots of sex (and for the slight dominance that seems to always be a thing in these books).
LOTS of drama in this one but not from people who want them. Her family is a mess and he is a stalkerish busy body.
Quibbles...
Law is my chosen profession so I am going to be that girl and ask, what is a Bar degree? In the U.S. we attend law school, earn a Juris Doctor and then take the Bar Exam to become lawyers. Of all the editing mistakes in this book, that one threw me.
*So many superman and HC references. It felt lazy. You are an author, use your words and DESCRIBE him. The only thing mentioned more than HC/superman was Jesus. Again, all of the random "I have a thesaurus, see me write" moments and V. Theia couldn't find a different exclamation after the 40th or so mention?
Safe mostly... read my shelf names, it's probably safe completely for most people

Sweet Mother of Pearl...
Ms. Theia has done an absolutely amazing job with Gray and India's story. We first met these two people in Noah and Sena's story It Was Love and from that quick glimpse, we thought it was going to be good. Manhattan Sugar has far passed any expectations that I could have set for it.
India is so completely different from what I thought she was going to be but in the best way possible. You might think that she is just a party girl and even reading the book, you don't realize straight away how full of emotion she actually is. The way she feels and the things that she goes through is so true and it makes me realize that the things that I feel when I get anxiety are completely normal.
Gray, oh where do I even start with this man? If ever there was a perfect man that is created, it is him. Gray is a different alpha, and I wasn't sure how he was going to make it work but he does. He is kind and sweet yet his dominant side came out in the most delicious ways possible. All he wants is to be her everything and will do anything to be that for her.
Join us on an adventure of love, happiness, heartache and the most amazingly delicious sexiness that will have your ovaries exploding!!! I won't spoil anything for you but I will tell you that the twists and turns in this book will have you on the edge of your seat with anticipation. It was amazing having a hero that isn't all dark and twisty inside but instead knows who he is and what he wants. I really enjoyed watching them get to know each other and even the most mundane things that we take for granted made me appreciate the love that I have in my life. Also, keep some chocolate on hand and maybe a few tissues. Victoria has done an amazing job and I cannot wait to see what she has in store for us next in this series.
This is my honest and unbiased review.

I'm Addicted to that Sugar D!!
There are certain indisputable laws of the romance genre for me and one being I know going into a VT book it will be safe for my romance loving heart. I don’t mean safe as in a boring story. Far from it, but I know the drama and character angst will only be between two people. There’s never any other third party involved and it’s something I’ve come to rely on from her.
Watching the story develop between this gorgeous hero ( seriously, he was perfection in rock star jeans and fuck-me hair! ) and a heroine who suffered with crippling anxiety because of family events out of her control and now she was sole carer to her depressed mom, was SO good that I gulped it down like I was sucking on a capri sun, I couldn't get enough of the hook lines and the intense flirtatious frissons. There was a little drama and some tense moments when I wanted to scream at India to stop getting in her own way and see the man truly wanted her for all her flaws and self doubts. But her journey meant she had to learn to love herself before she realized the sugar D did too.
This isn't a typical Sugar Daddy story, so don't be fooled into thinking it is. It's a man who loves a woman and will do anything to win her heart.
Gray was kind and patient and loving, he knew exactly what he wanted and worked hard to get it. This was a hero I lived for. Not only his kindness melted me but his dirty mouth scorched my brain. He said things, he did things ( things in showers...... ) and he worshiped his sugar baby like no other before.
The story is predominantly told in India's POV, but there there was these nuggets of Gray and seeing inside his heart was magical. He loved her so hard. Every move he made was for her happiness. For once in romance we get a hero who isn't playing the manslut, or the alphahole. He only wanted his girls happiness above all else.
God, his voice. It was bottomless and rich.
His voice was hot chocolate with a triple squirt of fresh cream.
It’s a voice that would go directly to a woman's hips.
I loved the added additions of the families. Theia does family sagas brilliantly, it never detracts from the main story but adds a lovely overall richness and now I'd love to see Gray's twin siblings stories one day. Also the cocksure singer Cal. You'll know him when you see him. And for fans of this author's work we get a few easter eggs in there too!
I love how she builds secondary characters into making me want and need and crave their stories too.
The little twists and ties to India's past in Gray's presence was handled perfectly. The sugar daddy didn't play around when it came to protecting his girl, even against all the outside distractions of past lovers ( there's no other man/woman drama ) but more so when India got in her own way due to her anxiety. It was her anxiety I felt the most on a personal level. She is a heroine we can all relate to and feel for because I think at one point or other in our own lives we've felt the same soul crushing defeat of life too. She was written perfectly. Flaws, humor and beauty.
I didn’t believe in instant anything, I believed hard work and dedication got you anything, but this girl was changing all my rules. I was seeing in colors of instant-everything.

Gray Ellison is my Sugar Daddy!
OMG, I'm still all in my feelings as I write this!! From the teasers posted over the last few weeks I knew I'd love this book. Gray is my kind of hero. You know the rare type that isn't damaged or has a dark past and is just a genuinely nice guy who can admit he is in love and he wants to make the world a better place for his woman? Gray is that guy and he was EVERYTHING!! God, I was living for his sweetness ( no pun intended on the title ) He was fucking amazing and loving and sexy and DIRTY and gah. I'm in love with him that is all!
India is a heroine who is very self aware of every part of herself, be it the flaws or her strengths. She gets through life wearing the best masks she can muster and on a very female level I think we can all relate to that, never wanting to show our vulnerabilities to anyone else for fear or how they'll judge or worse, being let down by them. Her reasons for the way she was actually broke my heart and I loved the relationship she had with her mom.
I loved that this independent city party girl had secret anxiety she hid from everyone even us the readers when we first met her as this vivaciously loud and fun girl in the Taboo Love duet. It made India so relatable on so many levels.
And then how the author tied Gray's life up in India's with that tiny twist... loved it.
The author has a way of making even the day to day simple things between the characters, outside of the passion and the longing, feel so incredible. like I want to read whole books of the MCs just doing nothing but life things because the words just rise from the page directly into my heart.
This isn't a typical Sugar Daddy book by no means. Gray really isn't her sugar daddy, it's a running joke between them, but secretly I think they both love the idea and they run with it because Gray is a man compelled to take care of the love of his life in whatever form he can and India being the messed up heroine she is trying to hold her life together with threadbare ribbon struggles with letting anyone do anything for her, she sees it as failure, but what she comes to learn, which I loved was, her layers peeled back and we saw the real her. The real India Gray adored.
Swoon. Sigh. God, I loved this book. I'm a sugar daddy fan for life. All I'm saying is there's hot scenes sexy enough to blow your minds open.
The man gave her shoes and cereal. How can you not fall in love with him after that!
As always the author delivered the BEST epilogue, seriously, read for the epilogues alone. I get such warm satisfaction that we romance lovers are given everything we wanted in the epi's.
Billy and Vinny are adorable little assholes!
This FROM MANHATTAN series has started with a bang. I cannot wait for more.

Sweet Romance
The story of Gray and India is such a beautiful love story; about loving someone because of all their baggage. It’s about that love you feel when you find your other half, they know how to deal with you perfectly so you find out what true love feels like. A reminder not to judge because you never know how someone got to their point in their life; until you take the time to truly get to know one another then no judgement just pure emotions and expressions of love for all of who someone is. A Love story about loving all someone’s imperfectness. When you know you know. And that’s what Gray was....India was the one dragging her feet.
And boy did she have reason. One i felt to my core and cracked me open. Feeling for her and routing for her to accept the love being offered to her. That’s what i love about this author, she can bring words together and make you feel them on another level. I always find myself full of emotion trying to quickly flip the pages, needing to know more and get to how the characters will overcome. There is always that unexpected twist that i can’t get enough of!!! So relatable that when everything is going right there is always something there trying to mess it up.
Sugar was about India finding her other half because he accepts her for who she is and loved her more for it. India is fierce and has a difficult past which has her pushing Gray away. Will true love be enough to help her get over that past? If not she’ll always have her smart mouth! I loved that about this heroine. India is good with who she is...or at least on the outside and that is also so relatable. Hard mask gooey mess inside. But, this author makes you feel that that’s okay. Being proud of all your own imperfections. Once cracked open though the story flowed like you were talking to your best friend when she first fell in love. You wanted to hear every detail. This author isn’t afraid to touch any subject. Her words unfold into beautiful stories. And this story, like all V. Thea’s others was just as wonderful.
Modern day strong female, India. And Gray is a super hero who needs a cape!!! Two equals who need one another and their journey to finding happily ever after; together.
“Love wasn’t always pretty and easy.”

I finished this story last week and struggled with what to write in my review. I am still struggling but here goes….
After meeting Gray and India in Noah and Sena’s story “It Was Love” I knew from their instant connection that V. would give them a beautiful story. I was not wrong.
India has always been the party girl, someone who likes her independence and hates asking for help. She’s been on her own for too long, has trust issues and has the responsibility of taking care of her mom. Gray is a mature businessman who is so patient and sweet. At a low point in her life, India texts Gray that she needs him. He doesn’t waste any time going to her. From here, in a slight twist from her other books, V. slows down the action between the couple. Now, I’m not saying it’s not hot, because it is. It’s a sensual dance with Gray leading. Gray is very patient with India, he’s been enamored with her since their first meeting. It takes India quite some time to let her guard down. Boy, when she does, you can’t help but cheer for her.
I freaking adored this book! If I could give it more than 5 stars I would!
Thanks V. for the ARC copy.

OK, so I liked this a lot but just didn't love it either!

I loved everything about this love story! Even nameless could not mess up what I love about this book.
Gray was so calm and patient with India in the most beautiful way. The way he took care of not only her, but her mom, brings tears to my eyes. How much did the delivery guy make bringing all that food to India?
What I don't like about this book? I have to wait until 2019 for the next book in the series. Seriously?! I didn't even complain about nameless.

Fantastic story! Loved the banter that Gray & India have going on! Swoon worthy Gray is the perfect sexy Rockstar, Sugar Daddy for the gorgeous India! These two rock as a couple in everyway! Awesome ending!

I love a relatable heroine. Most of the romance books I read are missing someone you can see a part of yourself in. This book had that in quirky, witty, self sabotaging India. And Gray was equal parts sweet and commanding. This book was just fun. I was smiling through most of it and laughing out loud. 5 stars. V Theia just keeps growing as an author
September 29, 2018
What an incredible story! India was so much like so many of us, dealing with the insecurities and self-doubts of our lives.
Gray was EVERYTHING I have ever wanted in a man. Sweetest thing alive, sexy as hell, dominating, accommodating, loving...
I could go on and on but I won’t. Fair warning though, I licked him, so he’s mine. Back off!
I cannot wait to read Noah and Sena’s story!!

Be still my heart! This story about Gray and India is mind blowing. We met them in It Was Love and It Was Always Love, and I was hoping to hear more about these two characters. India has a rough life and doesn't believe in love, you only get hurt is her feeling. And Gray, a bit older than her, sees her one day in a coffee shop and knows she is the one for him. But he has to wait quite a while for India to acknowledge him. These two belong together. You can feel it in your heart that Gray is the one for her. But India has a tendency to sabotage her relationships. Can Gray convince her he is the one for her and that he isn't going anywhere? This story takes you on their whirlwind relationship and it is a wild wide! Don't even get me started on how sizzling these two are! Unreal! Please read this amazing story. You will be enthralled from the very first paragraph, so much so, you will not want to put it down! Highly recommend!!!!

Make the rambling stop!
At 4 percent in the h was still drunk in a bar inner monologue rambling and rambling useless non sense about her life and the decisions she’s made that bad. Turns out she’s a party girl, serial sleeping around chick with attachment and emotional issues.
She met the H about a year ago and hasn’t texted him or called. But now that she’s been fired and evicted she’s calling him up to use him.
I can’t handle boring books where there’s just soooo much blah blah blah inner rambling that doesn’t add to the story.
Also not into this user heroines.

All of Ms. Theia has done it again! She has completely blown me away. The heat and comedy between the main H & h is wonderful! Ms. Theia has created a world with her writing that pulls you in and keeps you there til the last work on the last page! You will not want to put this book down its a real page turner. Thank you again Ms. Theia for a wonderful work of fiction! Keep up the great work.

This is one gorgeous man… and story. I want to squeeze this book like a teddy bear.
Hungry, vivid writing style. I was completely taken over by its energy, mordacity and wit. Is V-humming a thing? Because it happens here :-D
Self-deprecating heroine who’s fought on her own for too long, a dashing and mature gentleman who wants the best for her. An you imagine the feeling it would arise to have a beautiful, honest man offering you the world when you’re really down, almost beaten? The temptation grows criminally irresistible when that man oozes magnetism, hotness and protectiveness. I found myself urging proud India to give in while admiring her chipped armour when indeed she was resisting the panty-melting temptation.
The author drags every scene to maximum effect. I admit I was impatient for the big show, though everything was fantastic to read because of the randy humour and the beautiful way Gray seduces his uncontrollable India. He’s all heart, charm and good actions. And they truly fall in love before the fireworks start.
Not only is it insanely, devastatingly sensual, like setting you body on carnal fire, but it also deals with deep insecurities and trust issues in the way that pitches a traumatized woman against an infinitely patient, enamoured man.
There’s no shortage of passion and sweet gestures, luxury and pleasure paired with the painful struggle of a broken woman trying to learn self-worth and the man who will stop at nothing to prove his love for her.
It’s beautifully emotional and erotic, and the words hypnotize you with their vibrant humour. You will end up dreaming of your own Gray and his kind of sugar love!

This love story deserves all the stars in the universe! There is humor, hotness (I mean c'mon Gray Ellison is easy on the eyes and sells shoes for a living, and has a thing for nailing on walls!!), and is a trademark is everything V. Theia does there's heart. India Rivera is a woman who needs & deserves a man with a great heart and that's what she gets. It's not without struggle, it's not without self doubt, some painful self sabotage and the inability to trust in other's to love her as she is. Their love story is not formulaic in the best possible way. Gray and India will stay with you long after you close their pages. In my heart I know that experiencing their love has made me a more thoughtful, forgiving, compassionate person and for me that is the mark of a truly wonderful read.

I think this may be Vic’s best book yet. The writing was on point.
India, to me, was easy to relate to. I don’t know anyone who hasn’t struggled with their feelings of responsibility towards family, or struggled with how they view themself vs how others view them. Gray is the perfect hero. I mean who doesn’t want a hot rock star/shoe mogul? I loved their relationship.

Words cannot describe this book. Gray is perfection, I have fallen completely for him. India is so relatable and I found myself feeling like she has in my own life- should I expect my own gray to sweep me off my feet. I hope we see these again because just like the kitten and the geek they have a piece of my heart.
September 13, 2018
This book is everything!! It’s full of heartache, and also so full of love that it just seeps off the page. India is like so many of us, she wants to feel that all consuming love and wants to know she is worth something. Gray just so happens to know that he is the man for the job and he takes his job very seriously 😜, get ready for a whole lot of hot and get ready for your teeth to hurt because this man is pure sugar ❤️❤️
September 9, 2018
This book is amazing it is really the definition of a true love... I’m pretty sure this is every girls definition of the type of Sugar Daddy / Gray Ellison they want in there lives.. I can't not wait to read more from this serious!!!

Oh sweet Jesus!! This book!!
V has created amazing characters in Grey and India!
Honestly you connect with India from the very first page, wether it be her personality, her anxiety or her love of shoes, you’ll feel a little of yourself in her.
Grey...well he’s just peachy....a giant flipping peach I want to sink my teeth into! He’s determined to help India and V forces you in love with him. He’s perfect.
They’re perfect.
There are no words that can describe this book for what it is!! It’s just amazing!!

A great addition to the series. I couldn’t put the book...not for second. Gray is the perfect boyfriend and I’ve just placed him on my book boyfriend list. I would highly recommend this great series. I cannot wait for the next book in the series.
