Summary: 4 Stars
Growing up in a trailer park, Liberty Jones never felt a burning desire to better herself. Though her father died when she was young, Liberty has a mother who loves her and a life she's happy with. Her first love, Hardy Cates, doesn't want to end up like his father so he feels the need to leave Welcome, Texas as soon as his sisters can take care of themselves. Liberty has loved Hardy for years, but he always stays away from her, telling her that he would never be able to leave her if he got involved with her.
After tragedy hits her family, Liberty finds herself the sole guardian of her baby sister, Carrington. Knowing that the only one she can depend on is herself, Liberty puts herself through beauty school and moves her and Carrington to Houston. When she meets Churchill Travis, her friends tease her about finding her very own sugar daddy. Liberty feels nothing for the older man but friendship and knows the feelings are returned.
SUGAR DADDY takes the reader through the life of Liberty Jones. The first half of the book takes us through her adolescence. You virtually feel the love she has for Hardy Cates coming off the pages. Her relationship with her mother is uplifting at times and heartbreaking at other times. When her sister is born, you can virtually feel the inner conflict. Is she a mother or a sister? Why doesn't her own mother feel more for Carrington than she does? I'm not a big fan of first person, but Kleypas pulls it off. While I wanted her to be with the person she ended up with, I was really disappointed with how Hardy was portrayed. Here is a character that the reader really loved and admired and then you just despise him. That ruined a lot of the book for me. Plus I felt that the ending was too rushed. While I plan on reading Kleypas' upcoming work, I don't know if I'll buy the hardcovers.
