Sugar Babies by Mickey J. Corrigan
Publication date: November 4th 2013

Goodreads |  Amazon | 

Synopsis:
A sugar daddy can make your money woes disappear overnight. But for sugar babies, life is like a chocolate covered time bomb: sweet on the outside, deadly on the inside.

Young, beautiful, and hungry, Maire, Esme and Niki want what every woman wants: love, work, safe shelter, the bills paid off, a diamond-studded Rolex, and a two-bedroom condo with an ocean view. Working as sugar babies seems to be the only way to make this happen. But the sugar life is more dangerous than they thought.

Maire O’Rourke is too hot to handle herself properly. She tends to wear too tight clothes and too much make-up, but she’s got more than sex on her mind. She’s already landed one of the richest sugar daddies in Coconut City, a tropical paradise boasting more lonely men per multimillion dollar estate than just about anywhere else.

Sweet Esme Grant is a buxom blonde with a rough and tumble lover she’s left behind somewhere in hill country. She’s come to Coconut City in order to find herself a sugar daddy, a rich older man willing to fund her, along with her hometown boyfriend and their Mayberry-gone-bad dreams.

Niki Stephanopoulos, a dark, iconoclastic artist enrolled in a teaching certification program at Coconut College, struggles with depression fueled by guilt. She is embarrassed by her dependence on her family for the money she needs to survive. But she feels even worse after sleeping with her sexy, much older landlord when she’s short the rent.

Welcome to the secret lives of sugar babies. On the first day of the month, Maire, Esme and Niki struggle with overdue bills and sexy beaus. Readers can join them as they figure out ways to pay the rent, make decent love to indecent men, and stay upright on the rough road to happiness. Sugar Babies is a modern-day romance, a blue martini with a nasty twist. An intoxicating mystery steeped in social satire, the story of Esme, Niki and Maire is an all-American morality tale.

Three beautiful young women: place your order now.

Thoughts:
Sugar Babies is a compelling look into the hard truths behind the lives of three very different girls who unwittingly became mistresses to wealthy men in the fictional Coconut City. It was interesting to see how these girls fell into the so-called life of being a sugar baby and the way the book is written from a guy point of view who became involved with all of the girls adds a certain mystery to the whole story.

I love how distinct the three girls are. Maire; the fiery redhead who started a business introducing young girls to their prospective sugar dadies, Esme; the stunning beauty who sacrificed herself to support her useless boyfriend and Nikki; the troubled teacher in training. Fans of erotica might be a bit disappointed by the lack of hot scenes but this book reminded me a lot to Jackie Collin's earlier works which I found quite enjoyable.
