Obsessed!! Praise will always be my favourite one but this is a very close second. Daisy and Ronan's story hit me in so many ways and I loved seeing them come together. There were so many good hurt/comfort scenes and you know that's my fave. And the sex scenes? Let's just say, they're worth it. I loved how the drama was handled and I was so so happy about the ending!

I really enjoyed this installment of The Salacious Players Club. So far, Eyes on Me was probably my least favorite. Probably followed by this one. While I enjoyed the story, I found myself a little bit bored with some of the spice, which wasn’t the case for the other books. Especially Mercy, that’s still my favorite one. I did enjoy the little exploration of grief that was in this book. I like Sara Cate’s ability to take heavy issues and approach them in a way that makes her characters seem even more human, and relatable.

This book is officially my favorite in the series! Somehow this book manages to deliver on spice and swoony sweetness. I absolutely love Ronan- he is so kind and nurturing he just loves to shower Daisy with affection and to take care of her. I quite easily found myself rooting for Daisy and Ronan despite knowing

her deceased mom had dated him too <\spoiler>. I really enjoyed how much heart this story had, which still being hot. I absolutely recommend everyone to go and read this book!
