Sugar & Gold by Emma Scott Review
This is the second book in the Dreamcatcher series which stars Fiona, a pink haired kind and sweet woman who is running from her past and Nik, a full body tattooed hottie who lives on the road and has a special ability to read people's feelings. Even though this book is part of a series, you can read it as a standalone. The heroes in the previous book do appear in this book briefly with an important role in the story but you do not have to read their book whatsoever to read Nik and Fiona's story.
Nik and Fiona share a one-night-stand that turns into a-couple-of-days-stand in which they share an undeniable deep connection that without them even noticing turns into the kind of feelings both of them have been running from for years. But life is complicated and with both of them hiding secrets from each other it becomes even more of mess and when both their secrets finally come out, everything that could go wrong does. This is where Justin from 'How to Save a Life' comes in to save their lives. This part for me was the best part of the book. I loved seeing everything come together.
The story although sweet, I couldn't really get into it. It felt like it took me forever to get into the book and I was really desperate to finish it. Comparing this book to the Full Tilt series, which I read and absolutely adored, this was a little disappointing but oh well, you can't love 'em all.

Blurb: Nikolai Alexei Young was born with a special gift…one he’d do anything to lose. The heart and soul of every person he comes into contact with is an open book to his heightened senses. Colorful emotions, whispers of thoughts, the sour tastes of old memories…He feels them all. The sci-fi books would call him an empath. For Nikolai, his ability has made him an exile. He roams the U.S. alone, avoiding the glut of life in big cities, and using his innate talents to win money in underground poker games. Just enough to keep going, one town to the next. He has no hope that his life can be anything else, until he meets her…
At nineteen, Fiona Starling was trapped in an ugly, desperate situation until she freed herself the only way she knew how. Now three years later, living outside Savannah, Georgia, she is rebuilding her life on her own terms; seizing every moment and saving every penny so that she might fulfill her dream of moving to the raw wilderness of Costa Rica. But behind her carefree smile beats the heart of a lonely young woman haunted by her past, until a chance encounter with a tattooed stranger changes everything…
Fiona takes Nikolai under her roof for three sultry nights, waiting out the rain of a summer storm. She grows more and more fascinated by this brooding stranger with whom she shares an intense physical connection—a connection so strong, she wonders if there is something between them beyond lust and passion. Nikolai is shocked to discover that Fiona calms the raging turmoil in his heart. She alone silences the din of other people’s lives, and envelops him in the sweet beauty of her inner self. Every moment he’s with her—every touch of her skin—brings him closer to the peace that’s been eluding him his entire life.
But Fiona harbors secrets that she is too terrified to reveal. After Nikolai confesses his unique ability, she is caught between wanting to believe him and fearing he’ll eventually unearth her own dark past. When the unthinkable happens, Fiona’s plans come crashing down, and Nikolai discovers his hated ability might be the only thing that can save the woman he loves.
