He knows if she’s been bad or good.

Amidst the sugarplums and mistletoe, fashion stylist Julia Bennett is every inch a scrooge. Known for her ice-queen ways, she’s having a meltdown over a botched business deal and an upcoming milestone birthday. Add the pressure of forced holiday cheer, and she’s ready to dive into the spiked eggnog and not come out until summer.

Warren Stone, president and owner of the Sugar Rush Candy Company, is determined to make Julia slow down and enjoy the holidays. As her friend and confidante for fourteen years, he knows her better than anyone. But when decking the halls leads them to an explosive, sexy night, everything suddenly changes.

Just when Julia thinks Warren is all she wants for Christmas, an old flame comes to town and reminds her of the carefree girl she used to be. As the new year approaches, Julia is forced to decide if she wants to relive the past or embrace the future.

REVIEW & EXCERPT TOUR – SWEET TIME (Sugar Rush #4) by Nina Lane

 

 

 

Stuck in a boring insurance job, vivacious Mia Donovan has spent the last few years searching for her life’s true path. She fills her time helping plan the wedding of her best friend to the CEO of the Sugar Rush Candy Company.

Mia has also been trying to attract the impossibly rigid Sugar Rush security chief Gavin Knight. But for well over a year, the unyielding Mr. Knight has ignored her, despite her short skirts, tight sweaters, and patently obvious flirting. And when he finally approaches her, it’s only to assess the wedding plans for potential security risks.

A former soldier, Gavin has intercepted hostile anonymous letters threatening the high-profile wedding. Determined to keep everyone safe, he’s forced to work with the maddeningly sexy Miss Donovan of the thousand-watt charm and irresistible body.

Irked by Gavin’s many months of disregard, Mia takes her teasing flirtations to a whole new level. But her coquettish ways are no match for the edgy, lust-fueled dominant he conceals behind his impassive exterior. And when Gavin exerts his full control, Mia discovers he can protect everything except her heart.

WRAPPED UP IN READING’s REVIEW OF SWEET TIME

A smile curved her mouth. She stretched one leg over him and straddled his waist. With her nipples poking out of her bra, her skin flushed and her hair a waterfall of gold, he could have stared at her for hours if he weren’t about to implode with lust. He pinched her rosy nipples and twisted the strap of her bra.

“Take this off,” he ordered. “I want you naked.”

She shed her bra, revealing her perfect round breasts. She braced her hands on the mattress and leaned in to kiss him deeply, her tongue tracing the line of his lips. He slid his hands down to grasp her ass, working one finger between her cheeks. She inhaled sharply, but didn’t protest, arching her back like she wanted more.

He’d give her more. And despite her willingness, it might be more than she could handle. More than she could take.

“Wait,” she whispered, wiggling back so she was straddling his thighs. “Where are the condoms?”

“Drawer in the nightstand.”

She reached over to retrieve one and took her sweet time sheathing his dick. By the time she was done, his teeth were clenched from the light, tickling touch of her fingers.

He grasped her hips. “Ride me.”

Mia bit her lip, a flush rising to her cheekbones. For a second he thought she’d decline, but she lifted herself up, her hand circling the base of his cock as she positioned herself.

Then she sank onto him, and the world exploded into the hot, tight clench of her pussy, the sound of her low groan, the clench of her knees around his hips. A flash of pain crossed her face before it was replaced with heavy lust. Heat sizzled through the air. She curled her fingers into his chest and started to move.

“Oh my God.” Her breath grew fast, her astonished gaze still holding his. “I feel you so deep, all the way up here.”

She pressed one hand to her belly and shifted again, working her gorgeous body up and down on his cock. He dug his fingers into her hips. His jaw clenched to the point of pain. He fought the urge to thrust, to drive them both to the edge. She was a fucking goddess, her tits bouncing, her body flexing and writhing, sweat glistening on her skin.

“Faster.” He bit out the order, his blood on fire.

She leaned forward, her hair falling in curtains on either side of her face, her little panting breaths puffing against his neck. Her eyes darkened with hunger and urgency.

“I need it, Gavin,” she whispered, her teeth capturing her lower lip again. “I need to come with you inside me, hard and deep and… oh God…”

“That’s right.” He grabbed her waist and thrust upward, needing to be inside her as far as he could. “Get yourself off… Christ, you’re incredible, all soft tight heat… you’re going to jerk me off, cover your little pussy with my come…”

A shudder rocked through her. She braced her hands on his chest and moved faster. Breathy cries came from her parted lips.

“I want you to do it first,” she gasped, sliding up and down his cock like a well-oiled piston. “Mark me.”

She moved off him before he could stop her, her chest heaving as she slid back to sit on his thighs. She rolled the condom off his erection and stroked, her tapered fingers moving up and down his aching shaft, her thumb caressing the swollen crown.

“Do it, Gavin.” Her voice was husky and threaded with anticipation. “Come on my pussy. Give me everything you have.”

“Ah, shit.” Every part of him tensed. Fiery pressure built. He gripped her smooth thighs and thrust into her fist. “So goddamned close… harder… now… .fuck.”

Heat exploded through him, jets of come splashing over her belly. She gasped, her fist still working his dick until the sensations ebbed. He groaned, sinking against the pillows.

“That’s so fucking sexy,” she whispered, releasing him only to slide her fingers through the mess coating her skin. “I love how you feel on me.”

“Get yourself off for me.” He stroked his hands up and down her smooth, damp thighs. “I want to watch you.”

Shivering, she slipped one hand between her legs and brought the other to her breasts. She twisted her pink nipple and worked her fingers on her clit. Much as he wanted to delve his fingers into her slippery heat again, he restrained himself from reaching for her.

He couldn’t take his eyes off the sight of her touching herself, her body sleek and soft. She threw her head back, her hair spilling over her shoulders. Moaning, she moved her fingers more frantically, her body tensing with need.

“Gavin,” she gasped. “I feel it… I still feel you… oh God, I’m going to… ah!”

A high, keening cry broke from her throat as her body shook, her hand still rubbing her clit. Fucking gorgeous sight, spearing him with fresh lust.

“Oh fuck.” She groaned, collapsing on top of him in a hot, sweet bundle of softness. “That was amazing. My ass is still sore from your hand, and I swear that made me come even harder.”

He gave a short laugh. Yeah, he’d lost the battle all right. He was about to lose the whole fucking war. And never before had he wanted to surrender.

”I’ve been falling in love with you for over a year. And the moment you finally kissed me is when I fell in love with my whole heart.” 

 

 

The Sugar Rush series is going down as one of my top favorites of all time. It just keeps getting better with each installment. Not one book has been anything less than AMAZING!!! Not only have I fallen for each and every Hero, but I also found every Heroine to be so endearing. This is a series filled with amazing characters, off the charts sizzling steam, and romances that we all wish for. SWEET TIME was as fabulous as all its predecessors and even though it’s a novella, Nina Lane was able to give us an absolutely entertaining and satisfying story that very much felt like a full-length novel. Ladies, it’s time to fall in love with the stoic but supreme alpha security specialist, Gavin Knight.

 

 

We have met Polly’s bestie, Mia Donovan, and Luke’s friend and head of security, Gavin Knight in Sweet Dreams. From that moment, the chemistry between the bubbly and delightful Mia, and the strong, sexy and off the charts alpha Gavin, was undeniably strong. I knew their story was going to be just as steamy and fun as all of the other books in the series. Nina Lane did not let me down!!!

Mia and Gavin have been on each other’s radar for well over a year now but nothing has ever come of it. Mia has several failed flirtatious attempts with Gavin and she has come to accept that it might just never happen with him, but that doesn’t seem to have killed the incredible crush she has for him. What Mia doesn’t know is that Gavin has been aware of her from the moment he first set his eyes on her. She’s been the star of all of his dirty fantasies over the past year. What he wouldn’t give to just haul her over his shoulder and throw her down on his bed, and do all the dirty things he’s dreamed of with her. But Gavin has put her in the ”hands-off” zone because she is Polly’s best-friend and since Polly is soon becoming a Stone, she will be like family to him.

Gavin is also haunted by his past. He served seven tours in Afghanistan while he was in the Marine Corp., and he suffers from a severe case of PTSD. It’s made it impossible for him to sustain long-term relationships. He even closes himself off from social interactions with his childhood friends, which includes the Stone family.

 

 

When Luke and Polly’s upcoming wedding forces Gavin and Mia to work together, since he’s in charge of security during the event and Mia is acting as the wedding planner as a favor to her friend—let’s just say a year’s worth of pent-up attraction and lust will come crashing through. Will Mia’s light and whimsical nature be the healing touch that Gavin so desperately needs? Or will their differences end up being what keeps them apart?

Here are my overall ratings on the book:

Hero: 5
Heroine: 5
Plot: 5
Angst: 3.5
Steam: 5
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 5

This book had it all—great characters, entertaining plot, suspense, and deliciously naughty steam!! I HIGHLY recommend this one!!

*****Mel’s Review*****
4.5 Stars!

 

 

Mia Donovan is a gorgeous, feisty, confident woman from a coastal California town called Indigo Bay. She works a job she hates at an insurance agency, but occasionally also helps out her best friend Polly at her bakery called Wild Child. Mia is the type of woman that goes after what she wants, & what she’s wanted for the past year is a man named Gavin Knight. Gavin is the head of security at her friend Polly’s bakery. He was sexy as hell, & she loved his strength. As much as she relentlessly, shamelessly flirted with him, he seemed completely immune to her charm. She finally begins to give up her pursuit, & that’s when Gavin finally makes his move.

Gavin Knight is serious, brooding, & all about his job and keeping people safe. He noticed the lovely Mia Donovan with her blonde hair, tight sweaters, & little skirts a long time ago. He just wasn’t ever willing to cross that line. Now that they are working together on Luke & Polly’s wedding, they are seeing more of each other. It’s becoming harder for him to pretend he doesn’t desperately want her, & she’s testing his self-control. He hadn’t wanted to admit to himself that he always looked forward to seeing her. She’s had his attention all along. He’d grown rather fond of her but didn’t act on anything because he didn’t want complications. He didn’t feel he was relationship material.

 

Gavin & Mia are so different. He’s all serious & about strict control, and she’s all fun, flirty, and easy going, but when these two opposites connect it’s magical. Mia can’t believe she’s finally with the delicious man that’s starred in all her fantasies. She thought he barely knew she existed. For so long she wished something would happen between them, & now she’s in pure bliss at the thought of him touching her again.

As Gavin & Mia become more involved, Gavin worries he can’t be everything Mia deserves. He has troubles from his past he still deals with, & struggles with his feelings for Mia. She’s suddenly become everything good in his life, & he can see their future together.

I adored Gavin Knight & love this series so much! Each book is just as fabulous as the last. Can’t get enough of this series & look forward to more of the Stone brothers & Papa Stone too! ;))

 

 

-As much as she’d been after him, she hadn’t known, not really, if she could handle the dominance and rigidity that were such an intrinsic part of him.

-“Come on, my little flirt,” he whispered roughly. “You think I haven’t noticed you all these months?

-After all those months of trying to get his attention, she now had his attention right to the center of her soul.

-Gavin Knight was a man who knew how to take what he wanted. And take her he did.

-She couldn’t believe this was happening, that after all this time, Gavin Knight was holding her and touching her like this.

-Everything inside her came alive.

A few times in the past, he thought he’d been in love. He’d been an idiot. Because love was all the things he’d heard about but never felt until Kate—a crazy, spinning happiness, the knowledge that he was a better person with her than alone, that she’d made him a better person.

 

It’s no secret that Nina Lane is one of my favorite authors. How could anyone not fall in love with the writing of the woman who created Professor Dean West? She has proven that she is definitely not a “one hit wonder” with this latest series. The ”Sugar Rush” books are decadently steamy with Heroes who will melt countless of panties and make many toes curl from the signature schmexy that only Ms. Lane can deliver. I get just a bit giddy when I think of all of the Stone men that we have yet to meet because so far each one has had serious sex appeal and their level of swoon has been almost record breaking!

SWEET SURRENDER focuses on the youngest Stone brother, Tyler. He’s twenty-six and still very much living the life of a wild and reckless frat boy. Tyler has never shown any interest in the family business and his family views him as the irresponsible one. His recent antics with a girl he was seeing casually, has landed him in some trouble and to help pay for some property damages, his father has ordered him to work in Sugar Rush’s library. It is there that he takes notice of his brother, Luke’s, executive assistant, Kate.

 

Kate Darling is completely dedicated to her work. She makes herself available 24/7 and her personal life is pretty much non-existent. She moved to the west coast from North Carolina after her father remarried and it was apparent that he no longer needed Kate to take care of him. Up until that point, it had always been just the two of them and Kate did whatever she could to take care of her dad and help out with his business. She’s pretty but in a shy and Librarian-ish way. Kate has had a little crush on a co-worker for the past year but he’s never taken notice of her. When Tyler witness Kate’s failed attempt at asking her co-worker out, he offers to help her get the guy in exchange for her assistance with getting the library organized.

Kate and Tyler end up running into each other outside of work and after hanging out for dinner one night, they both start to develop a serious attraction for each other. What started out as a “Pygmalion/My Fair Lady” scenario, quickly morphs into a ”friends with benefits” arrangement, when Kate asks Tyler to teach her how to be a sex kitten. She thinks that is the reason why her past three relationships didn’t last because all of her sexual encounters had been lukewarm at best.

 

Tyler doesn’t jump at the chance of sex without strings with Kate because he sees how incredible she is and deep down he knows that that kind of relationship would never be enough for him. This is all new to Tyler because he’s never wanted to pursue anything deep and meaningful with any woman before, but something about Kate makes him want to abandon his womanizing ways.

The moment they come together, their chemistry is like a category five sexual hurricane! Neither Kate nor Tyler expected that the sex would be as incredible as it was between them and being able to keep matters of the heart out of it, proves to be nearly impossible.

SWEET SURRENDER releases on May 16th! Make sure you one-click! It’s the perfect book to curl up on the couch with a nice cup of coffee or a glass of wine!

*****Mel’s Review*****

5 Stars!

 

 

Tyler Stone is a gorgeous 26 yr. old guy from a wealthy family that owns the Sugar Rush Candy Company located in Indigo Bay, a town on the California coastline. He’s the youngest of the brothers and views himself as the family screw-up. The spoiled, rich, party boy with the trust fund. He’s never had any interest in the family business, & never been able to live up to the success of his siblings. He lacked responsibility & wasn’t known for his impulse control, so it was no surprise to anyone when he recently landed himself in trouble. As his punishment, his father has sentenced him to working in the company library in the basement. It’s time to grow up & work for a living, or at least until he pays off the damages of his latest disaster.

Never known for taking anything seriously, Tyler is shocked to now be tasked with whipping the library into shape. He’s been roped into doing a job he knows nothing about. He’s introduced to his brothers executive assistant Kate Darling, who is to help get him started at his new job. He quickly learns she’s brilliantly smart & great at her job. He also notices under the nerdy look & the ugly clothes she’s concealing a hot lush body. Something about this woman with the glasses really turns him on. She’s not his usual type, but she just does it for him.

 

 

Kate Darling is a 25 yr. old secretary at Sugar Rush. She’s socially awkward, & never been good at dating or talking to men. She wants a quiet, intelligent, hard working man who isn’t afraid to commit, & she wants a social life. After some shameless flirting from the youngest Stone brother, she finds herself extremely attracted to him. The problem is he’s not her usual type, but maybe he can help her anyway. They make a deal. He needs help with the library & she wants dating advice from an expert. He’s the perfect guy to let her know what a guy wants in a woman.

During these lessons, Tyler & Kate really enjoy spending time together. Kate realizes there’s more to Tyler than what’s on the surface. He’s fun, kind, & sexy as hell. As they grow closer they both have trouble resisting one another. The sexual tension is out of control, & they decide to try a temporary friends with benefits relationship. Things heat up & they can’t get enough of each other.

 

-He kissed her like she was the only thing that existed for him at that moment. Like he wanted to devour her, absorb her, fill himself up with only her.

-She loved being secure in the knowledge that she could touch him to her heart’s content.

-When they were this close, a force seemed to encircle them, wrapping them in a world where nothing else existed.

-There was no question that her body liked what Tyler could offer. Heck. Her body wanted what he could offer. Craved it. Lusted for it.

 

Soon both Tyler & Kate want more. Tyler is falling for her & feels very possessive of Kate. He craves her like an addiction. Kate realizes she’s broken the main rule of friends with benefits by letting her heart get involved. Tyler has slowly changed her world & her life would be empty without him in it. They both strengthened each other & brought out the best in one another. They come from different worlds, but can they make it work once their relationship is out in the open?

I loved this book so much! It’s fabulous! Seriously hot!!! I just adored Tyler Stone! I hope we get a book soon for Papa Stone too. I want a story for Warren & Julia!

He’s an encyclopedia of sex. She’s ready to do some research.

Super-efficient Kate Darling needs lessons in love. As executive assistant to the CEO of the Sugar Rush Candy Company, Kate knows everything about organization and nothing about relationships. Then she literally falls into the arms of Tyler Stone, youngest Sugar Rush heir and notorious bad boy.

After a colossal screw-up involving a pretty girl and a stolen speedboat, Tyler is facing the punishment of an actual job. His father has sentenced him to organize the company library, which is Tyler’s definition of cruel and unusual punishment. But if he can convince industrious, resourceful Kate to help him, he’ll earn his release in no time.

Kate is no fool. Tyler is an authority on sex, and she wants to learn. She’ll help him with the library—if he’ll teach her about the erotic side of romance.

Cataloging, alphabetizing, and metadata collide in a storm of lust, sweat, and dirty talk as Kate and Tyler get to work on both the library and each other. But when he starts falling for her, their hot affair will be one for the books.

sweetescape_frontcover

SYNOPSIS:

When dessert goes wrong…

Hannah Lockhart travels the world and blogs about love. At least she used to before she promised to look after her sister’s bakery. Now, stuck in small town California for the next six months, Hannah is desperate to find romantic content for her blog or risk losing both readers and income.

Then a whipped cream disaster sends her into the arms of sexy, charming Evan Stone, heir to the Sugar Rush Candy Company.

Since childhood, Evan has been trying to overcome family concerns about his defective heart. Known as “The Heartbreaker,” he’s found an outlet with women. And when bad news strikes him, he seeks a diversion by offering to show Hannah the romance of the Bay Area.

Hannah jumps at the chance…as long as they keep things platonic. But soon Evan’s hot combination of charm, perfect kisses, and a serious sweet tooth melts her defenses.

As Hannah and Evan surrender to their delicious attraction, they are forced to confront the reality of her wanderlust and his heart condition. When love and hearts collide, can Hannah and Evan find their sweet ending?

Evan Stone is a 31 yr. old gorgeous man born with a heart defect. He is one of seven siblings & his family owns the Sugar Rush Candy Company in the coastal California town of Indigo Bay. Dealing with his heart condition has become a way of life for him. He didn’t know life without it, or a time when his family wasn’t overprotective of him. He still hasn’t found his place in the company & wanted to show he was capable of running it. When his oldest brother Luke takes a leave of absence, Evan takes over as CEO. He’s thrilled to finally be able to prove himself.

Hannah Lockhart is s woman from Rainsville, California who left home years ago after her mother was sick. She is an independent world traveler & has a love themed travel blog called Lock Heart. She’s been in Rainsville for three months now running her sister Polly’s bakery called Wild Child while her sister is away in Paris taking a pastry course. She has agreed to stay for six more months. She will do what’s needed and then she plans to leave town and return to her own life.

21419768-_sy540_

Hannah doesn’t want to make any ties or connections while in town. She always seems to end up alone, which she thinks is what she wants until she begins spending time with the beautiful charming Evan Stone. Evan is the brother of her sister’s fiancé which makes him almost family. She develops a major crush and decides maybe some fun with Evan wouldn’t be such a bad thing.

Evan finds Hannah captivating & spending time with her is just what he’s needed. He wants to feel in control & craves an adventure. Hannah is the perfect distraction & he’s determined to have her. Once things really heat up between them, they both get attached quick & are addicted to one another.

-“I like you a lot, Lockhart.”

-He’d never felt so right with a woman before. He’d known the moment he first saw her that his pull toward her was inordinately powerful.

-She reminded him of the ocean, constantly moving in different directions, pushed by both the winds and the water’s own undercurrents and riptides.

-He’d never felt this way about a woman before, never been willing to let his heart control him to this extent.

Evan & Hannah enjoy spending time together & at times Hannah feels like she’s living a fairytale, but will her wanderlust & Evan’s health complicate things? I really fell hard for Evan Stone! He’s such a beautiful, delicious man. Nina made me swoon again & I can’t wait for the rest of the Stone brothers! I’m hooked!!! Bring on Tyler! :))

-She’d never met a man with a stronger heart than his, one that had unlocked her own.

-She loved everything about him.

-She hadn’t known all the magnificent experiences of the world would pale in comparison to the idea of a lifetime with Evan.

-“You’re worth everything, especially my heart.”

He tangled his other hand in her hair and cupped the back of her neck. His grip was certain, gentle as if he were securing her rather than holding her in place. Then he lowered his head and pressed his mouth to hers. And inside Hannah, a light clicked on.

Sweet Escape is the second installment in the SUGAR RUSH series and now that I have read both books so far, I can say with certainty that Nina Lane has struck gold again!! I thought that the SPIRAL OF BLISS series was fantastic and now it is clear that Ms. Lane is no “one hit wonder” and that these stories will be a hit with the reading community as well. Ladies are we ever in for a sweet and decadent treat because there is a total of 7 Stone siblings!! The six brothers appear to be blessed in the looks department and from what I have read so far they are beyond gifted with their sexual prowess as well. The Hero and Heroine in this one are Evan Stone and Hannah Lockhart, Luke’s younger brother and Polly’s older sister. The sexual chemistry between these two is sure to get quite a few hearts racing!!

Evan Stone is currently the acting CEO of Sugar Rush while his brother Luke spends his sabbatical in Paris with his girlfriend, Polly. This is his chance to prove to everyone that he is more than capable of running the family business. For most of his life, his family has handled him as if he were fragile because of his congenital heart issues but Evan has always tried to prove that he is a lot tougher than everyone gives him credit for.

Hannah Lockhart is a world traveler and not one who likes to be tied down to one place. She feels a tremendous amount of guilt over the fact that she was not around while her mother became very ill from cancer. She knew that it was wrong to leave her mother’s caretaking in the hands of her younger sister, Polly, but Hannah didn’t have it in her to watch her mother wither away. This stems from the loss of her father and also the loss of her first love. Hannah’s afraid to get close to people because she fears that they will be taken away from her since she’s already dealt with so much loss. But currently, she’s back home running her family’s bakery while Polly is off in France, enrolled in a Culinary school. Hannah is itching to take off but is sticking to her promise to keep the business going until her sister returns home in a few months.

Evan and Hannah have formed an easy friendship but there is definitely a very strong underlying attraction between them as well. Both do not have any desire to be in a long-term committed relationship. Hannah is determined to travel the world again and continue posting about all of her journeys and stories of love on her travel blog. Evan has never let a woman get too close because of his heart condition and doesn’t want to put anyone through a life that could only end in heartbreak because of his illness.

Hannah ends up placing a winning bid on Evan during a high-priced bachelor auction. It was an impulse move on her part in which she momentarily forgot that she doesn’t have the funds to pay for the weekend getaway date, but Evan comes to her rescue and ends up footing the bill. He even convinces Hannah to still go on the date and the heat that builds between them had me having major heart palpitations. There’s one thing you need to know about Nina Lane, if you haven’t read any of her books yet, she can deliver the schmexy like no other!! She is sure to get your temperature rising and definitely in the mood for some serious lovin!!

Evan keeps his condition a secret from Hannah for a while but ultimately he has to explain the scar he has in the middle of his chest and surprisingly she doesn’t end up running with this new discovery. On the contrary, Hannah is determined to stay by his side but what happens when things get scary between them and Evan is unwilling to be the anchor that weighs her down?

Sweet Escape was just as incredible as its predecessor and all I can say is that if you haven’t picked up this series yet, you need to bump these up your TBR. The Stone brothers are sure to be added to your top favorite book boyfriends list!

He may own a candy company, but this wealthy bachelor is no Willy Wonka.

Sugar Rush Candy Company CEO Luke Stone is a devoted businessman who doesn’t do relationships. He does short-term affairs with clearly defined rules. But when a sexy bohemian angel propositions him in a bar, Luke is tempted to want more.

Polly Lockhart is horrified when she wakes the morning after her twenty-third birthday to realize she made a fool of herself with a sinfully delicious man. She tells herself she doesn’t have time for romance anyway, as she’s fighting to keep her mother’s beloved bakery afloat and finish her culinary studies. That all changes when her class tours the famed Sugar Rush headquarters, and Polly collides with her dream man again.

As she succumbs to their hot attraction, Polly soon realizes her bakery isn’t the only thing that needs saving. Luke, driven and unyielding, will burn out unless someone convinces him to taste the sweetness of life. But can Polly remember this sugar rush is only temporary?
