I know I can always count on Karla Doyle for a good, well-written read, which is why I grabbed this I think the day it came out! I am happy to say Cup of Sugar did not disappoint.Cup of Sugar is a sexy, clever and sweet read. Conn is pretty much the perfect Hero. I'm also a sucker for a book with big dog, so I loved Zeus. I liked Nia, but at times her reluctance to get involved with Conn based on an earlier similar situation got a bit frustrating. I kind of wanted to smack her (just a little. She's cute and she knows she's a nut) Conn was the perfect blend of persistence and patience in pursuing Nia. So, as the reader I felt if he thinks she's worth the trouble, I'll overlook her nuttiness.Actually Nia's inflated expectations got me thinking. She wanted forever or nothing, which is a tall order for a new relationship. It was interesting because it seems (to me) that so many women today are so wrapped up in the "fairy tale" aspect of relationships that they reject anything resembling reality. Conn does all these sweet, practical things for Nia (driving her to her parents, shoveling her driveway, the skates) that are a lot more valuable and thoughtful than fancy flowers (although he does this too). Nia was almost willing to overlook these more imporatnt qualities because she is so focused on him declaring his undying, forever love.Happily, it looks like this is first in a series - yay! And the next book will feature Conn's no-nonsense brother and Nia's troubled sister. From just the glimpses we get of those two charactrs in Cup of Sugar, I think those two are going to be explosive together, so I really can't wait for the next book!
