Sugar & Spice (Spicetopia Series) by Phoebe Alexander – Review by Beverly Finnie

Sugar & Spice by Phoebe Alexander
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sugar & Spice was different. It was good but different from most romance novels I’ve read. The author gives you a fresh take on a story we’ve read before, well at least the romance part.
Forced to go undercover, Cy/Marcus starts his new job in the bakery of his family’s amusement park Sweetopia. There’s rumblings of employees gathering together to strike and boycott the park and his family wants to know who so they can be silenced. All Cy wants to do is travel and wants no parts of the family business. Unfortunately for him what he didn’t expect was 1 Jolie. And 2 what this undercover boss task does for him in the long run.
Jolie is a single mom with a terminally ill son who feels the Sweet family treats their employees unfairly and the benefits suck. She intends to do something about it. However when she meets Marcus he’s the curveball she didn’t expect. She had no intentions of having a man in her life. Her focus was her sons and getting fair compensation for her and her coworkers.
Will Jolie find out who Marcus really is?
Will the park employees follow through with their plans?
Does Cy stay loyal to his parents?
Lots of questions with many interesting answers and conclusions. It’s a promising start to a potential new series.
