"Sugarcoated is hot, funny, and so adorably swoon-worthy, it's sure to satisfy your sweet tooth!" - Katana Collins, author
Sugarcoated, an all-new sweet and sexy standalone romantic comedy from New York Times bestselling author Erin Nicholas is available now!
A hot, funny brother’s best friend rom com…with sugar on top!
She's his best friend's little sister. He's known her all his life. He's practically part of the family. There is nothing either of them could do to surprise the other at this point.
Then she showed up in his bedroom in lingerie and asked him to take her V-card.
Now, that was a surprise.
Aiden is pretty sure Zoe was equally surprised when he told her no.
To say that he didn't handle it well would be a massive understatement. Almost as massive as the amount of work he's going to have to do now to convince her that he wants her. Forever.
Right after he tells her that he's bought the company that's her bakery’s biggest competitor.
Maybe if he tells her he’s in love with her first, that will help sugarcoat the whole we're-rivals-in-business-now thing.
So, first "I'm in love with you", then "take off your clothes", then "I'm now your business adversary".
Piece of cake.

My Review
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This isn’t the first time this author has made me love a trope might I normally pass on. I actually passed on two free books with the trope today. But I’ve come to trust her unequivocally with my romantic heart, and she never fails to ply it with laughter, make it blush with the fun times, and wring every last drop of emotion from it with poignant, heartfelt writing. She's is a word virtuoso, and her romantic comedy symphonies are unparalleled.
Zoe McCaffrey has spent all her life in the small town of Appleby, and she basically grew up in the family bakery, Buttered Up, which she now runs. She's smart, stubborn and determined, yet still innocent in one area in particular. When her brother's best friend and the guy she’s known her entire life comes home to visit at Christmas, she goes to him for help in dealing with that innocence. And he turns. Her. Down.
Five months later Aiden Anderson is back in Appleby to stay. His plan? Win Zoe's heart, convince her it's forever, and, oh yeah, inform her that he and his partners have purchased the Hot Cakes factory, Zoe's biggest competitor. We also get a nifty little twist when Aiden goes all caveman, claiming Zoe before there's even a romantic relationship. As you can imagine, this doesn’t go over well with our feisty, strong-willed heroine, and what ensues is romantic comedy gold! Zoe decides, with the help of her BFFs, that she'll have a little fun and get a bit of retribution with Aiden by teasing and taunting him before succumbing to his charms. But two can play at that game, and it only serves to up the flirting and tension, and (OMGee!) the chemistry between these two! I needed my own walk-in freezer to cool off in, and that's long before there were any closed door scenes.
Something Nicholas does exceptionally well is to create a community and make the reader feel like she’s an integral part of it. Appleby is a charming small town in America's heartland, and its only industry is Hot Cakes. There’s some great history between Buttered Up and Hot Cakes, and it may have divided the town a bit, so I’m curious, when you read, if you’ll be on the side of Zoe and Buttered Up or Aiden and Hot Cakes. These characters are immensely lively and endearing. They'll charm you, make you laugh, make you want to shake one or two of them, and they'll own your heart completely. This book sets the scene for what’s to come, and I can’t wait for Dax and Jane's story. We get a glimpse of the sparks flying between them, and it's going to be epic!
Get in on this series with this first book, because it's going to be fantastic. Zoe and Aiden's story had me laughing so much my sides hurt. I already told you about the hot parts that don’t involve cake (or maybe they do), and the underlying vulnerability as Zoe and Aiden work their way to forever gives them a permanent place in my heart. And Aiden vulnerable? Let’s just say he's a sight to behold and managed to squeeze my heart and make me laugh hysterically all at once.
Trust me. This one is phenomenal, so get your copy via the links below and start reading. You can thank me later. Until next time, dear reader
Much love between the covers,
