Rating: 4 out of 5

This is a wild, sexy, emotional romp describing the blossoming relationship between a middle aged billionaire and a young college senior.  Jack is a widower dreading the end of a successful career as he plans the multi-billion dollar sale of the business he built with his late wife.  He hears a televised advertisement and discovers pictures Kate posted on a website designed to link wealthy men and financially strapped women.  Sugar Daddy city -- sign me up!  When the two "hook up" in every sense of the word, sparks fly!  The book follows their journey as they fulfill needs in each other (no pun intended) and attempt to hide their relationship from her mother, his mother, his adult children and assorted business associates.The location and event descriptions are well crafted, the characters are sufficiently portrayed such that you feel their emotions, the sex is frequent and steamy and the plot moves quickly.  An underlying theme revolves around the fashion industry.  Jack's business is retailing, Kate is a fashion merchandise major and amateur designer, Jack's children and Kate's mother all are involved in the industry (at some point).My primary concerns about the book: It is part of an apparent serialization popular these days and loved/loathed by readers.  It also dealt extensively with an industry that has seen major declines in the US (i.e. loss of manufacturing jobs to foreign countries).  Consequently the depictions of that decline and the details of the overall industry were both informative and confusing.  At times I was not sure if I was reading an erotic romance or one of my college textbooks.  The author does do a good job in bringing you back into the emotion of the book after each educational component.  Also as a non-practitioner, the descriptions of the yoga positions left me scratching my head.This is an adult novel with explicit sex including F/F and F/M/F.  Bonus material is provided via a website with pictures of Jack, Kate (holy cow who IS that girl!!!!!  I want her eyes!!!!!) and Jack's yacht (drool).  Think Escada from Fifty Shades of Grey.  An enjoyable read and I will be looking for the next chapter in the series.
