Narrative To Books The Sugar Queen
Twenty-seven-year-old Josey is sure of three things: winter in her North Carolina hometown is her favorite season; she's a sorry excuse for a Southern belle; and sweets are best eaten in the privacy of her hidden closet. For while Josey has settled into an uneventful life in her mother's house, her one consolation is the stockpile of sugary treats and paperback romances she escapes to each night ...Until she finds her closet harboring none other than local waitress Della Lee Baker, a tough-talking, tender-hearted woman who is one part nemesis - and two parts fairy godmother ...Particularize Books Conducive To The Sugar Queen

The Sugar QueenBy way of confession: I have been Vanquished by a romance book . . . .BUT it was a magical one, with an interesting story line. That counts, right? The book sought me out, not the other way around. This was in a pile of books by my mothers bed, that after her passing I threw in a box for stronger times. Its been four years and Im just now getting the resolve to sort that container out.More than anything, I loved the books that communicated with, and put themselves in the way of ,This book was so sugary sweet that I felt like I was reading the Hallmark channel. Yes, I am not that into you! So, in the future, I need to remind myself to stay far away from the pitter patter of love books. Perhaps I am super spoiled by the love story of Ross and Demelza Pollack that I am currently reading, that I find The Sugar Queen to be so implausible that it is laughable.Sorry Ms Allen, but your books are just not my cup of tea.....without sugar or honey I might add!
Oh I loved this book!The Sugar QueenFive stars! This is a delicious book! A tantalizing, sweet story that you will want to savor. Reading this book is like assembling a large jigsaw puzzle that represents four sides of love. The corners of the puzzle symbolize the four women of the story. There is Josey, a twenty seven year old women, who is living under her mother's thumb. She is still punishing herself over bad behavior committed as a young child. To atone for her supposed transgressions she
While this is a good read, its storyline is too pat, its conclusion to easy, and its writing too forgettable to earn more than three stars. Would I read it again? Probably not. Would I want to reread parts of it years from now? Possibly. Would I read a sequel? Quite probably. You can draw your own conclusions from that :-)Our heroine struggles with self-perception and a lack of self-esteem. Josey is supposed to be a Southern belle...living in a ski resort town in the mountains of North Carolina.
This is my third book of this author. It's chick-lit, with a mystery thrown in. Many love interests: some romantic and others scandalous; a little bit of magic; and a few secrets to dolly things up. Southern snobishness with old family histories and a good plot. A chicken-for-the-soul read for those who need something light and entertaining. And I enjoyed the late and great Marco Cirrini, the old goat! He made sure he owned more than just the town ... At least he brought some color into the
I think this is now my favorite Allen book.Part of the reason I liked this so well is because it was exactly what I needed right now...essentially, I inadvertently pulled a Chloe in that this book showed up on my holds list and I checked it out and listened to it and it helped soothe my troubled soul. Well, if I had a soul. It helped calm the oozing, black miasma that takes the place of my soul, is probably a more-accurate statement.This is a story about oppressed women, people who are kept in
