Taylor Gildersleeve and Peter Strauss star in this Lifetime movie entitled "Sugar Daddies".It tells the story of a college pre-law student Kara Jones,who happens to be strained with student loans together with her family considering her dad is strained huge medical bill,decided to become a mistress to an old rich man named Grant Zager,who pays her a huge amount of money every month just to sleep with him.Everything seems alright after she got paid at least $5,000 a month and a new Mercedes Benz until her friend Lea got murdered when they were taken home by Grant.No question that this Lifetime TV movie tells a story with a lesson of morality especially among the young generation who prefers to earn money the easiest way possible.It was also nice to see how Kara's parents showed their daughter particularly her father being against her work as a mistress.Finally,it also provides the viewer a glimpse of the American society on how education and health bills can really put a strain to one person or one family.

Taylor Black a.k.a Taylor Gildersleeve and Peter Strauss star in this Lifetime TV movie known as "Sugar Daddies" that has similarities to the Halley Pullos- starer Lifetime TV movie entitled "From Straight A's to XXX".James C. Burns,Isabella Hofmann,Ashley McCarthy and Samantha Robinson co-star in this TV movie that tells the story of a college student who needs to finances to pursue her studies.But unlike Miriam in the Pullos movie,the college-age women in this screenplay do no pursue becoming a porn star but something else which the title bluntly and straightforwardly suggests:Have a sugar daddy!!!!Kara tries to pursue becoming a lawyer.She comes from a middle income family who can only afford to provide her $200 a month.Then things get worse when her father injures himself working and got screwed over by an insurance company that left the family with a huge medical bills.Added to that,she never got into the financial internship that she was pursuing due to many qualified candidates that really left her needing for more money to pursue becoming a lawyer and not be left with more than a huge amount of student loans plus interest to pay after graduation.She knows that her previous jobs such as being a waiter won't her at all.Comparatively,Kara's roommate Shawna seems to have no money problems being involved with a rich old guy.This prompted Kara to explore "Shawna's method" despite having no liking for it.In the process,Kara joins one of Shawna's meet-up parties and in the process meets an rich old guy named Grant.Being Grant's mistress,Kara receives $5,000 a month,gives her a car and is able to join him in his private jet.She also got a financial internship upon Grant's connections.All Kara needs to do is to join Grant whenever she is called upon.But being a Lifetime TV movie,we do not expect a happy ending once Kara solves her financial problems.In fact,trouble begins upon the progress of this movie on this part.The movie definitely has a moral theme to teach the viewers that is why the relationship of Kara and Grant does not work nor does not end up happily.Instead,there is a dangerous aspect in it wherein we see someone gets killed.It presents that becoming a mistress of a rich man is not the answer in spite of the financial rewards that a woman could get from it.Also as shown by Kara,one could not provide peace and happiness from it being somewhat into prostitution. Added to that,the movie also explores the financial strain it puts on every American who goes into to college and the expensive American healthcare system but it does not really explore much about it.This was your typical Lifetime TV movie with the typical plot lines and story lines.But nevertheless,it was definitely a "fun Lifetime movie".Discovering another beautiful and sexy actress in Taylor Black a.k.a. Taylor Gildersleeve is definitely fun.It was the first time I have seen her.She does pretty well acting wise and she has shown he can hold on her own with seasoned TV actor Peter Strauss.I'll make it a point to watch her again in her next Lifetime TV movie.

Well I got more than expected from this one. I caught it on t.v. at around 3:00 a.m. and I had a good time because the pace is smooth, there are plenty of sexy moments, interesting facts about real life sugar daddies, and how some young women would do anything to live like the rich. The script is pretty straight forward but the twist regarding a murder raised the intensity of the pace so the audience can be really interested. Taylor Gildersleeve is a very good actress and her performance is the highlight of the movie. She's sexy, looks vulnerable, and at some point, she's brave. Thank you Ms. Gildersleeve for wearing those short and skimpy outfits :)

Young frustrated girls begin to enjoy sexual trysts with much older men, the latter providing for their financial comfort as well in this film.One such young lady wanting to attend law school desperately, but feeling financial pain from her family, is led into such a life and hits the big time by becoming the mistress of Peter Strauss, a villain here who will easily satisfy her financial needs as long as she is there at his beck and call.Inevitably, her father discovers her trysts, but her real dilemma begins when she is drugged and Strauss accidentally kills her friend during one of his sexual encounters.The ending again shows that ethics is so vital and far more important than money.
