Cate keeps the heat on high in her third Salacious Players Club erotic romance (after Eyes on Me). Hunter Scott, co-owner of the elite sex club that gives the series its name, is happily Continue reading »

Especially with Mia. I wanted to slap her most of the time. Also not a fan of the “I can’t be friends with girls because they’re catty” thing. Instant dislike. I loved Mia and Garrett. Sara Cate can write chemistry between the love interests so well and their chemistry was palpable. I could feel it. This book, this book, THIS BOOK! I don't know what Sara puts in her writing, but I want to bottle it and hold on to it forever. After Praise, I had a high expectation for Eyes on ME, and Sara delivered. I loved this book so much! I didn’t think it could be as good as the first in the series, but it somehow lived up to my high expectations. This book delves into some deeper themes involving mental health, and I absolutely adored how Cate handled this subplot. It’s realistic, but doesn’t overpower the romance plotline and doesn’t drag down the mood too much. He feels undeserving. Broken. It's not that he doesn't love Mia, but maybe she can do better than him. He doesn't realize that none of that matters... when you're with the right person.Warm- a medium level of sexual tension, a balance of sexual and emotional intimacy, lighter on the details in the sexual moments. This comic is about a boy, Evan, who forgets his keys at his friend's house, on his way to find them he didn't expect to find such a cute guy at the door... even less for said guy to be half naked and interested in him for no reason!

Here’s the thing. I shouldn’t be rating this. It doesn’t meet my criteria, since I only read 50% of it. I normally only rate if I read at least 80%. However. Superficial characters with no distinguishable personality traits other than voyeur and exhibitionist.

I loved the small changes in their relationship. The tiny ways in which it evolves. Garrett's protectiveness against Mia's longing for control. Garrett desperately trying not to give in to temptation and Mia showing him how much he should. She wants him, and she's not shy about it. The way they want each other, body and mind. I absolutely loved that. Anyways I’m kind of rambling now & it’s two am so I really should go to bed, but this was just such a let down. There’s also a smattering of pretty negative commentary about women (“they’re catty bitches, most women are mean to each other and that’s why Mia doesn’t have women friends”) a weird comment about “skinny shaming” and after what felt like (to me, I could be wrong) a shallow dive into Garret’s depression, the reader is informed that Garret is ready to have a baby w/ Mia bc he’s been on antidepressants x therapy for a year, and also spent that year proving “that he had everything under control” which feels like not a great metric to measure mental health?? Like require control and perfection all the time feels…not great?

Ugh we’re relying too heavily on not crossing the line into something more than sex territory. (BTW I soon start to understand why) It was great seeing Charlotte and Emerson again, and the bond of friendship between Emerson and Garrett. Omfg Mia singing karaoke might be the best thing I’ve read. I don’t think I’ve ever been that carefree, even as a child. It’s pretty awe inspiring. If Garrett isn’t smitten by now, I certainly am. Side note - I absolutely can’t wait for the next two books in this series. I love this world so much!And finally, I loved how strong Mia was. Was she slightly immature at times? Yep, but she's only 23 and it made sense for her character. But, she was strong in who she was, with her sexuality, and her comfort in front of the camera. I loved that she wasn't afraid of new things. And she wasn't afraid of Garrett's darkness. This one follows Garrett and his step-sister, Mia. Mia came in to his life when she was just 8 and he was in his 20's. Although they didn't technically grow up together, any time they were in the same room they didn't get a long. Until one day, Garrett goes searching for some fun watching cam girls and his now 23 year old step sister tis the girl he finds online. The heroine is slightly more fleshed out with her conflict about being a cam girl, and the fact that she has some other aspirations besides that, but even that is extremely flimsy. I do love how depression was handled here. I wish we had more sprinkled throughout the story and that more conversations about it were included since Garrett fought it for so long. It felt like it was somewhat glanced over and I would’ve preferred a deep dive into it, since it felt so relatable. When I found out we were finally getting a Drake story I squealed because I was that excited. I cannot explain the appeal I had to Drake before reading this book because he is a man whore but something about him called to me and I needed this story. Sara Cate gave me so much more than I thought I was going to get.

i was expecting a bit more “taboo” since this is a step-siblings romance but honestly it was barely mentioned that I forgot for almost the entirety of the book that they were.Someday a man will come along who won’t like what you do. He’ll want you to himself because he thinks you’re nothing more than a body he can control, and it will be because he’s insecure. A real man knows that truly possessing someone is a privilege, and it’s not their body you’ll own. It’s so much more. I want you to know the difference, Mia. What I Loved In the last two weeks, my stepsister has gone from being the pesky little girl I watched grow up into the only person on the earth that I want to see when I open my eyes in the morning." You do not want to miss Mia and Garrett’s journey from enemy step-siblings to each other’s perfect match! Cate (Burn for Me) opens her Salacious Players Club series with this kinky and sizzling erotic romance.
