"Sugar Daddy" by Don Ellis {Intergenerational Romance}
10, 9, 9
"Sugar Daddy" by Unknown Author (posted by Don Ellis Guest review by Sandman (sandman@bitsmart.com). While at the mall, that American bastion of hot singles action, Jack bumps into Laura, his daughter's best friend. That almost sounds like a pedo setup, but Laura is a mature twenty-two with brand new divorce papers. Well, needless to say this couple turns the formerly "very close, friendly, warm, but non-sexual relationship" into a sexual relationship. "Sugar daddy" is used almost as an inside joke to get the ball rolling, but really it's a sweet story of two friends who become lovers. Generally my only problem was that the story tended to gloss over the rather sticky problem of turning a non-sexual relationship sexual. One might also wonder what Jack's daughter would think of all this, though I really don't think the readers are supposed to ponder that particular point. Still it's a very nice romantic piece that turned out to be a very enjoyable read.
