Queen B’s Decree: Sugarcoated is perfect Erin Nicholas.
- Small town charm? Check.
- Wonderfully developed characters? Check.
- Sizzling Chemistry? Check.
Sugarcoated also contained one of my biggest book sources of anxiety: secrets. Zoe has basically been raised (and is now in charge) of her family’s bakery and they have one competitor…Hot Cakes. The betrayal between the families goes back to the times of Zoe’s grandmother, when her business partner left to create the rival brand that is shockingly now being bought by Aiden and his business partners.
But Aiden doesn’t want Zoe to know those details, not until she believes in his love. And so the whole book I kept waiting for the other shoe to drop, waiting for the painful reveal of the “lies.” But Erin Nicholas being Erin Nicholas means I was worried for naught. She can do no wrong!
Sweet, funny, and hot, Sugarcoated had well developed characters, with real life issues and honest communication between them that is so refreshing to see. Can’t wait to read the rest in the series!
