A sister who just got dishonorably discharged from the military, a mother recovering from breast cancer, and a divorce of her own make Sugar realize that the Cassevechia women need a new start. Sugar finds a house and pecan orchard online for rent, packs up her family, and leaves Florida for Texas. Now mom, Maggie, just needs to remember grandma's secret toasted pecan recipe, and hotterthanhellnuts.com will be in business. What Sugar doesn't' plan for, though, is hotter than…Jake Bentley, Jake's uptight mother, his band of horny military brothers, and a dead body in her sister's bedroom. Hell just may freeze over before Sugar can launch her enterprise.
VERDICT Although the story and the characters take a while to get moving and some plotlines don't seem to follow through, Sugar is a heroine for today's romance reader: a strong woman who remains true to herself. This latest romance from Leonard ("Callahan Cowboys" series) makes a nice addition to a basic contemporary romance collection.
