Who doesn’t love a silver fox? Especially if that fox is a pleasure dom with a soft spot for a dysfunctional twenty-something. 

Emme, a recently graduated twenty-something living in New York is down on her luck and without a dollar to her name. Enter her cousin, Cora, with a masterful plan: become a Sugar Baby. 

With nothing left to lose, Emme meets the salt-and-pepper Zaddy, Benjamin Reed. Caught off guard by how handsome and open he is, the pair quickly agree to the arrangement, for a fee of course. 

From there, this book is mostly smut. Don’t get it twisted, I love smut as much as the next person, but when every chapter for 300+ pages is them getting their rocks off, it becomes repetitive rather quickly. There were missed opportunities to delve deeper into the characters backstories, which were compelling and interesting. Instead, we go intercourse on every surface imaginable. 

For those of you, like me, who despise a third act breakup, you won’t find it here. Of course there is tension around the ‘will they, won’t they’ confessions. 

Overall, I gave Sugar Baby Mine 2.5 ⭐️ out of 5. Spice rating is 3.5 🌶️ out of 5.
