For bakery owner Sophie Mayfield, life is getting sweeter by the minute. She's managed to keep her family's cherished business from being acquired by mega-grocery-chain Fulton Foods. And her new employee Eliot Wright is as appealing—and oh-so-chocolate-fine—as he is hardworking and talented.

But then Sophie discovers that Eliot isn't exactly who he says he is. And she's sure he's hungry for only one her boutique bakery's bottom line. Now a love-struck Eliot will have to do whatever it takes to win back Sophie's trust—and prove that he truly is her Mr. Right….

Pretty much your average mistake identity romance cliché. There a reason it's a cliché because done well it works. Sugar Rush is okay, I liked the male lead and the supporting characters. Sophie, the female lead was somewhat paper thin compared to the male lead which is unusual. Overall more like 2 and 1/2 stars and a decent read

I really, really liked the first half of the book but things seemed to slow down considerably in the second half. But it was really nice to read the beginning scenes about running a small town bakery and the struggles of a family business.

Ms Overton crafts an IRRESISTIBLE treat! I enjoy the INSTANT attraction between El and Sophie...it's a SPICY mix (I LOVE the elevator scene)...El is definitely a bakers delight...he could SERVE IT UP in the kitchen as well as in the bedroom...and the whole mistaken identity plot is INTRIGUING...I eagerly turned the pages to discover what would become of their budding relationship once the truth came out about the REAL Eliot Wright...the full cast of characters is LIVELY and MEMORABLE...another quick and charming romantic tale!
