Sugar Daddy

A Novel (Travis Series, Boo 1)

By: Lisa Kleypas

Narrated by: Brittany Pressley

A strong, spirited woman who refuses to be tied down finds her wild heart caught between two very different men in this sweeping novel from legendary best-selling author Lisa Kleypas

Liberty Jones dreams of the wider world beyond Welcome, Texas, and has the determination to find it. She also has an untamed heart that leads her into trouble . . . and into the arms of Hardy Cates.

Liberty is forbidden fruit Hardy knows he shouldn’t taste. He’s got ambitions and Liberty is a complication he doesn’t want. But neither can deny the attraction between them, a fire that’s both magical and dangerous.

Then Hardy is gone. Raising the young sister who needs her and tending her bruised heart, Liberty is vulnerable to the charms of a billionaire tycoon. Everyone thinks Liberty has found a sugar daddy, but the bond they share goes deep, and leads her to discover secrets about her family and the past.

Two very different men. One spirited woman. True love or heartache. The choice is Liberty’s to make . . . .

The story holds up

I really enjoyed the book and the audio version is very good. I really like the way the author talks about Texans and Houston and the overall culture and business environment surrounding the story. I would have given it five stars, but someone dropped the ball at the end and two words that were mispronounced ruined everything. In Texas we don’t eat “peecans” and we pronounce the “j” on the word “javelina” like an “h”. That may sound petty, but to a Texan it’s like putting beans in chili. I still recommend the book in audio version or otherwise.

Excellent Romance Novel

Great story for those who love a HEA romance novel. Liberty weathers lots of storms and is great character to root for. Second time through this book. Loved it again and I’m moving on to the next one.

My first by this author.

Other than a little dated, I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this book!!! I really liked how she keep you guessing who the female character was going to fall in love with!!!

Best Kleypas Book! Better than Historical Ones!

I love Kleypas's Historical books so much, and this one was even better 💗

Perfection

wonderfully entertaining story. left me wanting more. part 2 please . waiting for the movie.

I’ve always wanted a rich doormat.

It’s amazing what a kiss can do. It can make a wealthy cultured man dump his super model girlfriend. He will put aside all of his wants and needs just to hold you while you pine over some other guy. It does not bother him in the least when you meet his friends and ask for the definitions of common words like you are a 3rd grader. His friends know he is serious about you…and somehow they don’t bat an eye when you make out with another dude at the ultra fancy auction. Our rich doormat sends you to select something pricey and you select a tall handsome cowboy like the trailer trash you are. It’s cool. He has the personality of a stick and he comes from a long line of rich doormats that somehow haven’t been taken advantage of to the point of bankruptcy. I did not like this story. Yet somehow I couldn’t stop listening to it. I’m going to have to get the next book in the series. I’m a sucker for bland, rich, doormats who are good at going down on a gal. Dang it Kleypas

Southern love story

I didn't end as expected. enjoyed it. sweet story. totally different from her novels I've read in the past.

OMG!!!

All I can say is WOW. Throughly enjoyed the story. the narration, The whole thing.

The ending made me smile.

The start is slow, but when you get further in the story you realize the need for the background. I honestly almost quit this book toward the start because of it, but I am soooo glad that I didn’t! The part after she meets the Travis family picks up momentum and had me hooked. Great story.

Amazing

Great story with wonderful narration. It sets the stage with high expectations for the other books in the series.
