ARC Review:

“And when you say ice cream…?”
Leaning forward, he reaches out … “That’s exactly the plan. I want to see how quickly I can make you scream.” 

Tastes Like Sugar is a very quick, easy read that follows an age gap MM romance between Tom “Sully” and Michael “Hayes”. Their chemistry and connection is instantaneous and doesn’t feel forced in any way. 

However, after a wonderful night together and a chance encounter the following day, it soon becomes apparent why Sully left abruptly the night before, after finding out that Hayes is one of the local firefighters of Collier’s Creek. 

This short story follows the pair along as they navigate their feelings for one another, whilst also trying to figure out how they can make it all work with the “obstacles” that are in their way. 

Tastes Like Sugar was a fun read that had some really wholesome moments, some well written intimate scenes, and a simple plot that just made the reading experience easy and enjoyable.
