Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia Series) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Helen Dawkins
Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is the first book in the series ‘Spicetopia’, technically, they can be read in any order as they are individual storylines with interconnecting parts. But I recommend starting with this book and reading in order.
Jolie and Cy have an immediate connection. To bad each other them are hiding major parts of themselves. Cy, the millionaire and son of parents who own the family theme park ‘Sweetopia’ and Jolie, the single mom that is half family theme park Queen and other half dominatrix.
Cy has his inheritance on the line and agrees to go ‘undercover’ in the theme park to figure out who the rebel employees are and their plans to go public with horrible information about the Sweet Family, specifically Cy mother and father. Cy is originally under the impression the rebels are lying and just stirring up trouble. He doesn’t expect to end up on their side nor to fall in love with the beautiful Queen, Jolie.
Jolie, has been under extreme pressure taking care of his chronically ill son as well as juggling two equally demanding jobs. The Sweets, have horrible health insurance and want a robot more than an employee. She wants to put their ignorance on the live news for everyone to see, but she didn’t imagine she’d ever find a wonderful man that makes her feel alive.
They both have secrets and when those secrets are exposed, they are both left wondering what to do next. Will Jolie be able to take care of her family while also enjoying her own life? Will she forgive a man who utterly lied about everything, even his name? Will Cy, chose his blood family or the woman he has fell in love with? How important is money to him?
I absolutely loved this adventure with these two and would recommend this book & series to anyone who wants a spicey romance without the storyline being too heavy.
