Eyes on Me (Salacious Players' Club)

Product Information

He needs to go find out if this attraction is real, or if it was a one time thing only. Except he doesn't tell Mia he knows her *secret*.

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. Praise is an Age-Gap romance with dominance and submission along with a praise kink. If “good girl” is a favorite phrase of yours, this is a must read.This series is in the running for my favorite series of the year, and we are only halfway through. The emotions that Sara Cate evokes... through the physical and emotional connections between the characters... I am so enthralled. I could not put this story down. Mia and Garrett have such a complex relationship. It was so well built and I was lost in their roller coaster ride of a situation. And have no fear... it definitely brings the spice. The kinks and the sexy times are epic. It just made this book work on so many levels for me. I cannot wait to see what the next 2 books bring. There is some great set up for the next relationship and I am very much anticipating how Sara Cate brings it to life. In the meantime, Garrett can't stop talking to her with his online avatar. He can't stop himself from wanting to know more, and from telling her more about him. He's hiding more than she knows. And when we're allowed to see what that is, it left tears in my eyes.

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.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? Of course Charlie is a fantastic character, I didn’t like her at first but she grows a lot in this book and I love to see it. She figures out who she is, what she likes, and isn’t ashamed to go for it.

Another thing I loved was THE SMUT. Sara can write some dang good smut. This was all types of sexy, voyeurism, exhibitionism, toy play, male booty play and more. This was dangerously hot in the best way. Again we have some amazing supporting characters in this book that make the story so much better. I laughed a lot with this book, I cried at some points, and I enjoyed the story a lot. I liked that Sara Cate touches on depression and mental health issues. I love that we have a curvy and confident female main character. This was a great book. Give Me More 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 have been wronged. I was out moraled. I can deal with a lot when it comes to taboo romances. Birthday girl? Loved that shit. Age gaps? I can do it. Step siblings? Sure I guess, AS LONG AS THERE ISN’T A SIXTEEN YEAR AGE GAP AND OUR MALE LEAD KNEW HIS LITTLE SISTER SINCE SHE WAS EIGHT. AND SHES A VIRGIN. WHY. please don’t say that…. I know there’s no shame, but I mean…how would you feel if it was [your girlfriend]? Flashing her puss—" There’s also just like a shitty power imbalance the whole book, and literally at no point is it balanced— I don’t have the energy to dive into that rn but it was deeply disappointing to me

Additional tropes in this series that you should be aware of before diving in. We have ex-boyfriends dad, age gaps, step-sister, bisexuality, BDSM, praise and degredation, polyamory, and kinks of all kinds. Remember the series is based around a sex club where kinks are accepted without judgement.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.
