Eyes on Me (Salacious Players' Club)

Product Information

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? Side note - I absolutely can’t wait for the next two books in this series. I love this world so much! 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. 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.

Until he stumbles on a cam girl app and finds himself watching the one person he should stay far away from: his step-sister, Mia Harris.I didn’t think I was going to like this book when I first started reading it but I did actually end up loving this book. Sara Cate does a wonderful job about showing how one of the most feminist things we can do is explore our sexuality and kinks and then be completely unashamed about them and not afraid to voice what we want. 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. 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. Meanwhile, Emerson is an emotionally unavailable man who is very clear about what he desires physically and isn’t afraid or ashamed to go for it. Emerson is a dominant man who works through his emotional issues in this book and I am here for it. You do not want to miss Mia and Garrett’s journey from enemy step-siblings to each other’s perfect match!

The second book in the Salacious Players Club series is Eyes on Me. First things first, this book has a taboo relationship, Garrett and Mia are step siblings. There is also like a 12 year age gap in this book between Garrett and Mia. 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. 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. So I have to start off by saying the first book in this series 'Praise', unfortunately did nothing for me. But I think it just showcases that its perfectly normal and okay that you might not care for one book by an author and you might absolutely love another, even in the same series. Not every book is for everyone. Even if you love the tropes and themes and the author. And that's okay. I think we forget that often. It's was the character connection for me that made a world of difference between the first book and this one. I couldn't connect with the first books MC's, while Garrett and Mia captivated me right away.Lol it's like the author forgot that isn't the norm. She acted like their stepsiblingness wasn't even a deterant or an inconvenience, lol. Like, she didn't even add any tension with the parents or anything. I stopped a bit after they actually had sex, but this is by no means a slow burn since they get sexual within the first 10% of the book and then have a sex scene every other scene. There's nothing BUT sex, and it would have been fine if this didn't try so hard to be deep I think what I like most about this series is just how different each book is. We aren’t getting the same story line. We don’t get the same personalities, we don’t get the same body types, we don’t get the same conflicts.

Well, we’ve only been open for three months, but we did have a party of five rent the biggest voyeur room a couple weeks ago.” I’m not mad at him or want to fight with him. I wish I could tell him, in more words than I expressed last night, just how much he means to me." Maybe the reason my marriage is so sacred to you is because you’ve always been a part of it. And maybe what I’m asking you isn’t so crazy, after all.” Sara Cate, Give Me More I do think you make it better. Because I can be myself around you, Mia. I can show you my sometimes ugly mess of a life and you can show me yours, and it doesn’t scare us away.”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. The supporting characters in this book are also amazing. Big shout out to my favorites Eden and Drake. We get more from Drake in Give Me More and I knew there was a reason I love him. Eyes on Me Book Review Seeing the way people express themselves during sex, the way they move, the way they sound, the way they come. Sex is never the same, no matter who’s doing it."
