After over a decade working in the sex industry, Janice Cane retains no illusions about the nature of relationships. Everyone lies and everyone wants something. Still, a part of her longs for a connection.

Speed-dating becomes her addiction, a place to find a man for the night when she needs a quick fix, and her last hope that true love may still be waiting around the next corner. When a mysterious man entices both her intellect and her lust, she becomes entangled in an affair more complicated than she'd expected.

Enter the world of The Sugar House. Here you'll meet the illustrious Madam Janice Cane and her brood of men and women who will fulfill your every fantasy. But can they find a way to fulfill their own?

 

I didn't mind this book. The plot was predictable but it was interesting enough to read through to the end. I had a few issues with the characters and their actions - personal problems I know. I didn't like Salt, he came off as judgemental and unnecessarily mean toward Janice in a moment where he needed to find his compassion bone. Janice for all that she began as a woman who didn't give a damn about society forgives Salt a little too quickly in my opinion. The ending was rushed and could have used more details than essentially "they all lived happily ever after." There were some pretty choice insults thrown and a bit more space to air the tension would make the happy ever after more believeable and conclusive. A solid erotic romance novella, Tyler seems to me as an author to keep an eye on.
