did i think i would love this one? yes. did i? absolutely not. i could NOT for the life of me get over the fact that ronan was her mom's ex. i guess that is my hard NO when it comes to taboo romances. i am all for ex's parent but parent's ex is just too icky for me, i'm sorry. while i liked being in ronan's head (for the most part) i hated being in daisy's head. she was insufferable. i hated the whole on-going lie which obvi caused the 3rd act breakup. also the disordered eating was very not okay with me. it was not mentioned in the content warnings at the beginning of the book but it’s plays a role throughout the book, so if that’s a trigger for you, i would definitely skip this one. i love sara cate and have enjoyed this series, but this one was not for me, and that's okay.

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.
