Oh my goodness!! This book was absolutely, positively amazing! I have found a new favorite book!

At first, I wasn't entirely sure whether or not I was going to like this book. However, I continued on despite my hesitation, and was blown away.

All the characters in the book were just great. The hero, Nik, was my favorite though. He was so sweet and I loved everything he did for Fiona, who was also great.

The pacing was really well done as well. For some books there are times when you feel like what you're reading isn't important and it gets boring, so you decide to skim. That is NOT the case with this book, everything flows so well and I didn't find myself skimming even once.

This book is heart tugging, and there are also some funny moments. It was definitely a spectacular book and if you've been on the fence about reading it, I would definitely recommend it to you!!!

Wow!! Emma Scott never fails...never. She has become one of my go to authors, I will definitely buy any books written by her. Her writing is beautiful & her stories are unique! I love how she can take sorrow in a character and give them love & hope (sugar & gold)!!!

I would recommend this book to anyone who loves a good love story, it's just a beautiful all around book.

Sugar and Gold was a good read. The story started off slow then the pace slowly picked up. This is not a fast action read, but don't let that deter you from reading this book because you will enjoy this story. I absolutely loved the main and the secondary characters and the story had a bit of paranormal feel to it. There was a lot of inner monologue but it honestly goes with the story; its a huge part of the story or shall I say the characters. The ending was so loving and sweet that it made the story worthwhile. The ending alone makes you want to recommend this story to all romance reads because there is no doubt that they will enjoy it. I know I did.

First of all, Thanks to NetGalley for giving me a chance to read and review this book.

A Short Blurb:

Fiona takes Nikolai under her roof for three sultry nights, waiting out the rain of a summer storm. She grows more and more fascinated by this brooding stranger with whom she shares an intense physical connection—a connection so strong, she wonders if there is something between them beyond lust and passion. Nikolai is shocked to discover that Fiona calms the raging turmoil in his heart. She alone silences the din of other people’s lives, and envelops him in the sweet beauty of her inner self. Every moment he’s with her—every touch of her skin—brings him closer to the peace that’s been eluding him his entire life.

Cover Review:

The cover is quite simple, yet attractive and metaphorical. Nikolai is pictured to be walking off to nowhere, while the cage at the top depicts the escape of Fiona from her marriage/cage. To be truly honest, had I judged the book solely on its cover, I wouldn't have thought of reading it, or given it much thought.

Review:

The novel has been written from two major point of views, Nikolai's and Fiona's. The author managed to maintain a different writing style for both the characters, making them realistic and believable.

The dialogues were well-written and witty, humorous and serious, and everything that a good novel should include.

Some parts of the book made me laugh, while others made me want to cry.

I stayed up late just so I could read this book till the end, so that I could see them off to their happy ending...because they had to have it, right?

Analyzing this book critically would spoil its beauty, because I really enjoyed reading it, and found it one of the sweetest books I've ever read.

Sugar And Gold gets a well deserved 5 star from me, for everything it was.

Sweet with a spark. Broken people healing one another.
