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!

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!

The fifth book in salacious player club series and it was amazing. A taboo age gap romance that follows ronan 56 and daisy 21 that challenges in their love. I adored this story so much

Sara Cate’s writing just isn’t very strong. Daisy is a basic two dimensional main character who I found incredibly cringey. I had to read far too much about her songs that weren’t good. Ronan was likeable enough as a main character, but again very surface level with not a lot going on. Everything that happened was predictable.

Last, but certainly not least, surprise pregnancy trope is tired, never really a surprise to the reader, and just plain sucks. Authors should retire that one. Let alone surprise breeding kink.

This all could’ve been done without the weird detail that he had previously been in a relationship with her mother. The story realistically would’ve been the same if it was about two people working through their grief and unhealthy coping mechanisms.

It ultimately doesn’t end up being why they break up. They break up due to their individual issues they need to work through. (Which I guess Ronan just never does? We never see him work through any issues, and he himself says that he hasn’t.) The line at the end about Daisy picking up where her mother left off and their hearts beating for the same man is also just weird, and squicks me out.

Additionally, I don’t understand why Daisy’s musical aspirations are made such a big deal of.

Ultimately, she doesn’t go to music school like she dreamed, and it seems like nothing really comes of any music career for her. The impression I got was that she gave it up to be a mother to Ronan’s kids; which really makes Ronan’s comment about bringing a strong woman to her knees for him look bad.
