SUGAR RUSH by Bella Aurora ~ Review by Chris

*** I Love Story Time was gifted an ARC in exchange of an honest Review ***

5 STARS!

“Cupcake, I thought I was all the sugar you needed.”

I absolutely LOVED this book.  Just like the previous two books in the Friend-Zoned series, Bella Aurora did not disappoint with SUGAR RUSH!  It was an amazing book filled with love, laughter, family, romance and a whole lot of sweet!  I laughed, I giggled, I swooned and I further fell in love with the beautiful friendships of this group.  How could you not love and want to be part of a group of friends that treat each other like family, and two by two they fall in love!

SUGAR RUSH is the love story of Max and Helena, and what a sweet story it is.  Max is the massive flirt with a heart of gold and Helena is the head strong, sassy workaholic who doesn't have time to fall in love.  These two together are pure goodness!!

Helena made it hard for Max at first…

“She’s not your biggest fan, Max.”

My breath leaves me in a whoosh.  I don’t understand.  This has never happened to me before.  I blink at her before shouting a high-pitched, “What?”

Nat continues to putter around the kitchen.  “I know, right? So weird, I can’t believe we’re related sometimes.”

I’m still in shock.  I asked in a panicked, “Why?”

She lifts a shoulder.  “Well, she says you’re a flirt.”

…”I’m a single man! I’m allowed to flirt!”

“Preaching to the choir, babe.”

My mouth gapes.  I can’t comprehend what I’m being told. “Buy why?”

Nat turns and comes to me, wearing a face full of sympathy.  She cups my check and speaks gently.  “Sometimes people don’t like other people, and sometimes they don’t need a reason at all.  It happens, honey.”

Now I’m just sad.  “But everyone loves me.  I’m adorable.”

After that, Max was determined.

“I’m going to make her like me.”

And so it began…

Max really is freaking adorable!!  I pretty much had a huge grin on my face throughout this entire book.  It’s just one of those books that make your heart smile.

I absolutely recommend SUGAR RUSH to anyone who loves books with lots of humor, incredible friendships and sweet romance!  Even though this can be read as a standalone I highly recommend reading the first 2 books in this series first.  They are just as hilarious, sassy, and swoon-worthy!
