Greetings from Sugartown (Sugartown #3) by Carmen Jenner

Publisher: Independent

Genre: Contemporary New Adult

Release Date: September 9, 2014

Synopsis

Life in Sugartown hasn’t always been easy, not for an ex-con like Elijah, and certainly not for Ana, who grew up desperate for a way out.

Meeting Elijah changed all that; Elijah changed a lot of things.

You’d think that after three years together and the worst behind them that life would be a walk in the park, but Sugartown’s sexiest couple may be about to face their biggest obstacles yet. Between failed marriage proposals, a trampy ex-lover and a tempting new biker, Sugartown is suddenly not so sweet.

They’re head-over-heels in love. It should be simple—but it rarely is.

Will they make it down the aisle to the happy ever after they deserve? Or are some relationships just destined to fail?

Intended for an 18+ audience. Contains explicit sex, violence, a crap-tonne of profanity, and naked encounters with disastrous outcomes.

My Review of Greetings from Sugartown

“I need you to promise me that no matter how bad it gets, no matter how dark my demons are, you’ll never walk away.” “I promise.”

I started reading Greetings from Sugartown by Carmen Jenner the moment it hit my Kindle. Seriously. It showed up at about 9pm and I read straight through until the early morning hours.

This one is about Ana and Elijah, but we still see some of Holly and Jackson. It also takes place about four years after Enjoy Your Stay. Everything is how it should be and life is good for our favorite couple, but when someone from Elijah’s past shows up will things change? I’m here to tell you that they will, but I’m not sharing any spoilers.

Ana: In love with and living in the same house with Elijah. Owns bake shop and is faithful to her friends. Cousin to Jackson. Enjoys super hot sex with aforementioned Elijah. 😉

Elijah: Reformed bad-boy who loves Ana. Fixes motorcycles and is sexy as sin. Best friend to Jackson. Somewhat scared of commitment.

Kick: Former friend of Elijah’s from his MC days. Also was there the night that Elijah and Ana escaped the MC.

Holly and Jackson, as well as Ana’s Dad all make appearances in Greetings from Sugartown, as well.

I’m a sucker for handsome bad boys who need to get their life back on track.

Okay, couple of things. To me, this book is darker than the other two. There were moments I found myself holding my breath while getting through the pages as fast as I could because I NEEDED to see what happened. That being said, there are lighter moments like the drunk Truth or Dare game which was pretty freaking funny.

I loved that Carmen Jenner was able to weave the darker plot points with the lighter moments to bring a complete story that was absolutely riveting. Greetings from Sugartown is a perfect addition to the Sugartown series.

There is even a sneak peek at the next book, Now Leaving Sugartown at the end of the story. Be sure to keep reading after the end of Greetings from Sugartown so that you can see what it’s about.

Excerpt

I come up onto my knees and yank my shirt over my head, then I go to work on my belt and jeans, allowing them fall down around my ankles. My belt hits the floor with a thud, and I kick off the scratchy, oil stained denim. “Take your clothes off.”

“You don’t think maybe we should talk some more about this?”

“Ana, baby girl, take your fucking clothes off before I rip them from your hot little body.”

She raises her hands in a warding gesture. “Okay, okay, taking them off.”

“You’re taking too long,” I growl, and pounce on the bed. I don’t hear what she says next because I’m too busy burying my face in her tits and inhaling. She smells like she always does, a mix of vanilla and baked goods, only now she smells like my favourite whiskey, too. Ana arches her body towards me, and there’s a mixture of both fear and excitement in her gaze as it meets mine. She’s not wearing a bra, so her full, beautiful tits are in my hands the second I lean up and free her body from her singlet. I close my mouth over one nipple, gently biting down on the pink flesh. She moans.

“I should make you mad more often.”

“No, you really shouldn’t.”

“I don’t know. The make-up sex is always a little more intense.”

“You want intense, baby girl?”

She nods, and gives me a devilish smile as she strips off her underwear.

“Close your eyes,” I command. She does as I ask, and I pull the top sheet out from underneath her, tearing the edge with my teeth and ripping through the soft cotton. Ana’s eyes spring open and she leans up on her elbows. She’s horrified.

“What the hell are you doing?” she yells. “Those are two thousand thread-count Egyptian cotton sheets.”

“Do I look like I give a flying fuck about your bed sheets? Close your eyes, and lie back on the bed. I’m not going to ask you again.”

Author Bio

Carmen Jenner is a thirty-something, USA TODAY Best Selling Author, doctor, pilot and CIA agent.

She’s also a compulsive, flagrant prevaricator who gets to make things up for a living.

While Sugartown may not technically exist, Carmen grew up in a small Australian town just like it, and just like her characters, she always longed for something more. They didn’t have an Elijah Cade, though.

If they did, you can be sure she would have never left.
