Promo and Review: Sugar on the Edge by Sawyer Bennett


Synopsis
  He’s utterly alone…

Tortured and existing in a dark spiral of despair, bestselling British author, Gavin Cooke, has come to the Outer Banks of North Carolina to escape the seedy lifestyle he had been living in London and in a desperate attempt to regain his writing focus. He’s twisted, bitter and angry at the world. He’s a loner… needing not a single thing other than his Scotch and a laptop upon which he can bang out his next erotic, dark thriller.

She’s running in place and getting nowhere…

Savannah Shepherd’s life is falling apart. Her dream of being a wildlife photographer seems a distant memory and she’s barely able to make ends meet. Driving herself forward with no clear goals apparent, she’s about ready to pack up her bags and head home with her tail between her legs.

Two unlikely lovers…

He’s raw, forceful and a dirty talker. She’s a flowers and romance type of girl. Yet within each other, they find a mutual craving that can only be satisfied by giving in to their desires for one another.
Lust turns into something more… something they were not looking for but tentatively accept. Will it be enough to push them past the obstacles of Gavin’s bitter past?

*SUGAR ON THE EDGE can be read as a stand-alone*

Review
Gavin Cooke is a brilliant writer stuck in a dark place. The event that brought him there is one that would bring the strongest man to his knees. In order to help him finish his latest book, and perhaps with the hopes of take him away from the vices that were consuming him, his publicist sends him to North Carolina.
It's there where he meets Savannah Shepherd. She's a very talented wildlife photographer, but with no prospects in sight she's working odd jobs to make ends meet.
Gavin and Savannah are two completely opposites, but little by little Savannah becomes the light that Gavin needs to bring him out of the darkness and to make him live and feel again.
Gavin is not a likeable character at the beginning, he's an ass and a hard pill to swallow, but all that changed for me when I learned what he went through. I could feel his pain and the absolute devastation he was feeling while telling his story. Even though I know some people are going to judge Savannah and her decisions throughout the story, I found her a very strong character. And let's be real for a minute, we can criticize all we want, but in the end, we don't know what we are capable of until we see ourselves in a specific situation.

This is a book full of strong and conflicted emotions. This is a book with soul, and that's what Sawyer Bennett is all about. This series keeps getting better and I can't wait to see what and who's next.
Another great book Sawyer!
