Synopsis
Pepper
Ryan grew up the troublesome, spoiled child of a rock god. With her
less-than-stellar parentage, and the bipolar disorder that has plagued her
existence, to say this little firecracker is a handful would be the
understatement of the century.
Sammy Belle
spent more than half his life saving Pepper. He’d been her strength, her
sanity, and the protective brotherly figure she never wanted to have.
They were never meant to be
together.
They gave in anyway.
And
just when Sammy thought he had everything he wanted, Pepper ran.
Now
twenty-three, Pepper returns to Sugartown, a failed tattoo artist with one too
many screws loose who’s down on her luck, wielding an ice cream van as beaten
up as her heart.
Sugartown’s
most coveted bachelor has always been content with the quiet life he leads
until Pepper, the hellion from his past, returns to test his strength, his
patience, and perhaps even his sanity. But two can play at that game, and
Pepper is about to learn that Sam can give as good as he gets.
Can
this good country boy survive Pepper’s cruel city world, or will the whole
thing be put down to a bout of temporary insanity?
One
thing is for certain:
He’s crazy about her.
She’s just crazy.
Warning: Intended for an
18+ audience. Contains sexual content, oodles of profanity, a firefighter so
hot you may need a very cold shower, and one pink-haired crazy Harajuku girl.

Review
Wow.
Just....WOW.
I'm rendered a little speechless by this book, and that's not something that happens to me very often. Now Leaving Sugartown....hit me in the feels and it hit me HARD.
What kind of book make your eyes and cheeks wet on one page, and your
panties wet on the next? The perfect fucking kind of book. This fucking book.
Pepper
Ryan has been in love with Sam almost her entire life. Perfect, golden
Sammy Belle, who has been always her protector, her savior, her best
friend, and the one man she can't have. She's a special kind of crazy,
and she doesn't want to drag him down with her.
Sammy has spent his life taking care of his
Little. His Pepper. And when it seemed like they finally got it
together, and could be together, she ran. But now, she's back. And this
time, not even her brand of crazy can make him let her go.
Carmen Jenner just about slayed me with this book. I've loved Welcome to Sugartown and
Elijah Cade with a fierce passion, but Sammy Belle... God damn Sammy
Belle might have made me question my number one Sugartown love. (Not
really, Elijah, I still love you most....but your brother-in-law is
F.I.N.E). He's over-protective, maybe a little misguided at times,
certainly blind to Pepper's copious faults, 100% loyal and kind of
perfect. I lost a little bit of heart to this man, and I am totally fine
with that.
And Pepper. What can I say about
crazy, fucking Pepper? I've been there, you know. And I get what she was
feeling, the choices she made because, actually she had no
choice. I wanted to wrap her in my own arms, and make it better for her.
Show her there is a light at the end of the tunnel, that there is
another way, that it can be okay eventually. The mother in me, she wanted to take it all away for manic Pepper.
Carmen
couldn't have described her battle better. Either of their battles
better -- Pepper's against her demons, Sammy's against her disease and
his inability to save her from it. Now Leaving Sugartown had me
laughing one minute, panting the next, and close to tears -- or
out-and-out crying -- the entire time I was reading. It was real, raw
and hit close to home. A punch to the gut. A book that grabbed my
attention, demanded my attention, held my attention, and overtook to me
completely.
It might seem like I am gushing,
and maybe I am, because I can't adequately and succinctly explain how
this book affected me. It's simply that I have all these words, all
these feelings that this book provoked in me and I want to share as many
of them as I can. So you understand...As much as I love Elijah, will
always love Elijah, I have no hesitation in saying that Now Leaving Sugartown is Ms. Jenner's best work yet. Six HUGE fucking stars.

What a long, strange trip it's been. Yes, I'm dating myself by quoting
The Grateful Dead. Carmen! Please, say it ain't so! This cannot be the
end of this series. No way. Nuh-uh, I refuse to accept that! But it
seems we've come full circle. Now Leaving Sugartown is the
story of Sammy, Ana's baby brother, and Pepper, Holly's daughter. Don't
let that fool ya! Carmen's aged them like a soap opera and they're not
little kids anymore.
As I've come to expect from this series, it has Ms. Jenner's signature quirky humor, wee bits of angst to get those feelings flowing and HOT HOT HOT sex! Holy mother of wet sn*tch, does this book put you through the wringer! Emotions all over the damn place! You're laughing, you're squirming in your seat and then you're freaking crying! This is epic book hangover material.
I'd say this could be read as a standalone, but I think there's definitely more enjoyment to be had if you read the previous books first. The characters all make cameos in Now Leaving Sugartown and it gives you a lot more insight to their dynamics. Besides, you don't want to miss out on Jackarse and Holly, or Elijah and Ana. One-Click them all and enjoy yourself!

While Sugartown may not
technically exist, Carmen grew up in a small Australian town just like it, and

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