It’s time for Nia and Conn to tie the knot. It is just one weekend but everyone in the family knows there is one person in the bridal party that they have to keep a close eye on. Sara cannot ruin this weekend for Nia and Conn. It can’t happen. Well, except with Sara it is bound to happen. She just doesn’t have any luck at all. But she is going to do everything in her power to make this wedding successful. She is not going to cause any trouble. She won’t do it, intentionally.To ensure that Sara doesn’t cause problems, Conn enlists his brother, the cop, to assist. Well this should be fun. The Best Man is going to watch after the Maid of Honor? Not if Sara has anything to say about it and what about Curtis, how does he feel about the situation? It doesn’t really matter, it is one weekend. They don’t have to see one another after that. They don’t have to deal with each other in just a day or two.Only problem is, Curtis is hot. Like super hot and well, there are about 100 things he would like Sara to do, just not in public. There are laws to prevent them from that and he is a law abiding officer… but he has never met anyone like Sara before. Let’s just say, she’s a bit of a rebel when it comes to doing things that push the line of the law… If opposites attract, these two have the game perfected.I loved Cup of Sugar by Karla Doyle and I am never quite sure that sequels will live up to the expectations I tend to have of them… however, Icing On The Cake, just surpassed the expectations that I held. It was smart, witty, hot and the sexual tension was out of this world.Sara is a smart mouthed girl and she knows that she can never get close to a guy to be in love. Those she loves, leave her eventually. She will never take that risk with her heart again. She just won’t risk it again. Which is fine, because there is no way a cop would really find her that appealing, especially given her record. But Sara just made me smile time and time again. The wit, the cunning skills to get out of situations she gets into, her attitude. She was just too much and I adored that in her. Of course, there were reasons for all of it but all of those reasons have made her who she is.Curtis won’t give his heart away either. He promised his brother he would watch Sara the weekend of the wedding. But Conn didn’t describe Sara to Curtis doing the situation justice. But it’s not an issue, yes, they are going to have a fling, that he can guarantee. One weekend and that is all. He will go back to his life, she will go back to hers. No issues. I loved Curtis too.He judged Sara, just like everyone else, before he met her. But he also gave her a chance, he wanted to see why she was the way she was. And what he discovered time and time again, was that everything she did had moments of justification behind them. But that only made him appreciate her so much more. He wasn’t just watching her. He wanted to look out for her and to protect her. Protect her from what though? Well, herself mostly. But Curtis was just amazingly sweet when he needed to be. The thing to remember about Curtis, he isn’t about to give his heart away either.If Karla Doyle’s Cup of Sugar made me smile, this one put me over the edge. It was a fun read, but it had tender and hot moments. It had everything that I love in a book. It had spunk. The characters, the story and the crazy situations that Curtis and Sara end up in. Icing On The Cake is a five-star follow-up to Cup of Sugar and I can’t seem to get enough of these sweet treats!
