BLURB
My Sugar Plum was all grown up and more forbidden than ever...
Holly Halliday was twenty years old and deliciously curvy.
My best friend’s daughter.
Too young.
Off-limits.
I’d kept my desires buried for the last two years, but now, with her realizing the effect she had on me, I was struggling to stay away.
But this holiday season, Holly was especially irresistible, and there was no way I could say no to my desires any longer. I find myself breaking the vow I made with myself not to be with her. Holly's learned to use her womanly charm, and the moment those lace panties find their way under my pillow, I was a goner.
There’s no way I’m keeping my distance, and I’ll know sweet Holly really is.
MY OPINION
„Sugar Plum” is a Christmas novella written in co-operation between Jenika Snow and Isabella Starling. I ended this book 2 am and I still don't know what to think.
Why?
Because „Sugar Plum” has its charm, but this book is weaker than „Mistletoe Kisses”.
I really like Holly as a heroine. Authors done a great job with her appearance. Her curvy shape is something we can't meet in books. I truly appreciate that. In every book we can read about perfect slim woman. In „Sugar Plum” we have a natural woman body. Natural and typically normal.
Bastian is twice age than Holly and this makes this book different, becuse the age-gap is a really big.
I didn't feel this desire between heroes. I don't know why. Holly wants Bastian, but when she has him, her regrets her decisions. This is a little wreid and very unfair for Bastian.
But I really like the reaction Holly's father for her relationship. This is the way, how the parents must react on her childrens decisions. Approved. Nothing more.
„Sugar Plum” is a short novella, so you can read it in your one hour free time. But, this lenght is also a barrier, because we have a fast romance with age gap, father's best friend. Maybe if we had a few more pages this book would be better. Who knows?
In the end I like this book, but not so much than I like „Mistletoe Kisses”. I like this cover too! It is something different, something new on bookish market. „Sugar Plum” is a short read with funny story, but if you want desire and temptation you won't find them here.
It is sweet and romantic story with a lovely ending.
