Kelley’s Review

Sugar on the Edge will have you on the edge of your seat squirming as Gavin Cooke and his filthy mouth seduce Savannah Shepherd. Here I though Matt Connover was going to be my biggest jerk and sexiest alpha male book boyfriend of 2014…Sawyer just rocked my world with Gavin Cooke. She has one-upped her game and Sugar on the Edge is her hottest and most sexy story yet. Ladies you will need to invest in some new panties after this sizzling read.

Gavin Cooke is angry at the world. Something tragic has happened to him and has buried himself in his writing. He has written a bestseller, and even with the fame and fortune that comes with it, he cannot seem to drag himself out of the darkness. He is an ass to everyon and anyone and knows it. He revels in being a total jerk and goes through women like toilet paper.

Savannah Shepherd is not happy with how her life has turned out by any means, but has a positive outlook on life. While she can barely makes ends meet, she still finds time to volunteer at the local animal shelter. When her best friend Casey tells her about a job opening cleaning Gavin’s house she is not exactly thrilled at the prospect, but could really use the money.

Savannah’s first run in with Gavin is not pleasant, but he offers her substantial amount of money to clean and cook and she just cannot turn the job down. I love the banter between Gavin and Savannah. She is able to take the crap he dishes out and give it right back to him.

For the first time in Gavin’s life he pegs someone completely wrong. Just when he thinks he has Savannah figured out she does a 180 degree turn and he is standing there with a big grin on his face and his jaw hanging down. Savannah can’t fight the attraction that she feels toward Gavin even though deep down she knows he is the wrong man for her. She decides to throw caution to the wind and just enjoy riding Gavin while his filthy words set her on fire.

Sugar On The Edge will have your panties melted and you will be fanning yourself. Find a nice a cool spot and grab a cold drink because this spicy read will have you feeling more than a hot flash.

Michel’s Review

ARC copy provided by author for a fair and honest review.

Sugar On The Edge is by far the best book Sawyer Bennett has written! She has proven her growth as an author, created more complex characters, gave them more of an edgy darkness, created a plot that was unique, and merged several genres together that work perfectly together.

Sugar On The Edge can be read as a stand alone novel or in the Last Call series order. The beloved characters from the previous books are present in Sugar On The Edge. They lend a strong supporting role for the characters without influencing the direction of this story or having their own stories repeated or referred to throughout the book. Sawyer Bennett allowed her leading characters, Gavin Cooke and Savannah Shepard, to take the readers away in a completely new direction.

British author Gavin Cooke has come to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to complete his book. He is on a deadline. His destructive behaviors, drinking, and disregard have left his publishers and agent in a corner. They have suggested he take himself out of the seedy streets of London and buckle down. He is an arrogant self absorbed, dirty mouthed, critical, and contemptuous arse. He knows it and makes no apologies. His crude mouth, diabolical behavior, and self destruction have just changed geographical locations.

Gavin Cooke is sex on a stick! His filthy mouth and filthy moves will have you swooning. His vulnerability and misguided guilt will have you wanting to hug him after you tie his delicious self to the bed. He is one hot alpha male. His snarly, dry British sarcasm and creative blend of words will tantalize all the senses

Savannah Shepard is a struggling photographer. After losing her job at the local newspaper she is forced to take on several jobs to make ends meet. When she takes on the job of being a temporary housekeeper for Gavin Cooke, her life has just taken on another crappy job. The man is a complete jerk. He assumes too much, sees too little, and berates everything. He may think she’s a lamb and he’s the big bad wolf . He has another thing coming, Savannah has taken on the wolves and beat them to the ground. She is a tigress in a lamb’s skin.

Gavin and Savannah’s relationship is combustible and every surface they touch goes up in flames. Gavin may be domineering and Savannah may seem submissive but all is not what it seems. Together these two will find all the right ingredients to make the perfect combination that will intoxicate the readers.

There will be explosive sexual chemistry, panty dripping scenes, dramatic tear jerking moments, swooning romance, shocking actions, and a new story with a happy ending. Their journey will keep the readers captivated. I will say this, it is a good thing that Savannah and Gavin have their own persona Yoda, Brody Markham.

Sawyer Bennett has broke the mold with Sugar On The Edge. Her star is shining bright!
