I was so excited for Slay Ride after loving Sinners Retreat, and while I enjoyed it, it didn’t quite hit the same for me.
Cat was, as always, amazing—I loved her in book one, and she continued to be such a fun and dynamic character here (from cat mum to cat mum, how could I not love her). Bennett had his moments, but sometimes he was just a bit too much for me. And Kendra, who I adored in Sinners Retreat, felt a little overbearing this time around. I get that she cares about Cat, but the constant babysitting got a bit frustrating.
The secret relationship aspect also stretched on longer than I expected, which made it feel a little unrealistic at times.
That said, the action, banter, and chemistry were still really enjoyable! Despite a few frustrations, this was still such a fun read, and I’m definitely picking up book three—I can’t wait to see what happens next, and I hope we can maybe read of Maverick 👀

I didn't enjoy this book as much as the first even though it is very funny in places and definitely opens your eyes to different kinks.

For a purposefully silly book, this was a hilarious and fun read. However, there were some gross parts that really put me off. I was having such a good time until the turkey leg scene...
But hey, everyone deserves to explore consensual kinks.

This book made me question food porn lol. There is a scene… you’ll know what scene lol.
I loved this enemies to lovers to friends with benefits to lovers. Lauren Biel has an interesting writing style and I’m always impressed by her creativity. I mean…
The tension between Cat and Bennett, as it has been built from the first book - Sinners Retreat- their story began as a rocky journey after a very creative way of Bennett using a pineapple. And finally I got to read their book. It was funny, enjoyable and a heck entertaining .

I wasn’t sure what I was getting into when I picked this up and while I was happily surprised there were a few moments of “well that’s weird/gross”. Overall an interesting story with a similar vibe to the Ruinous Love trilogy.
