Reviews with content warning for Violence - Give Me More

i love how well they all know each other already. also that the established relationship between hunter and isabel gives those two room to be transparent and safe while navigating their feelings for drake. the communication definitely wasn't on point the whole time. especially when it came to hunter and drake but that changed eventually. i liked that most of the book was set on the trip so they could figure out their dynamic without their normal life distracting them as much.

At this point I have read five of Sara Cate’s Novels. I have to say they just keep getting better and better. Is there a such thing as a Sara Cate kink because I swear these books make me want to try lots of new things.

Give Me More is book three in the Salactious Players Club series and if you haven’t read it then go back and start with Praise. I promise you won’t regret it.

What can I say about this amazing story that hasn’t been said yet? This story follows Drake, Hunter and Isabel. It’s the friends to lovers trope.

I absolutely expected to be taken on a ride with this story. However, I was not expecting that they would out do Garrett the way they did. Like I loved Garrett not in the first book but the second with his back story. Then Drake and Hunter bulldozed right over him and took the spot for number one.

Sara Cate we have one problem how are you gonna do me that way with Drake’s hair. all those pretty blonde curls. Why? I wanted to cry my eyes out in that moment!

This story has it all, sexual tension, friendships, passion, but the love that these share is unlike any other kind of love.

You won’t be disappointed if you read this story.

Now for a few of my favorite quotes.

I’m a fucking scoundrel. I guess that’s an old-fashioned term, but I don’t really like the modern-day translation as much. Playboy. Man whore. Fuck boy.

“Did he touch you?” he asks. I nod. His fingers tighten. “Did you like it?” My heartbeat picks up speed as I nod again. Pulling me even closer, he takes my bottom lip between his teeth, biting enough to make it hurt, and I whimper against his mouth. “Then, be a good little slut and take out my cock, Isabel.”

I force a crooked smile. “I don’t think I’ve ever passed up sex before.” “Why start now?” he asks playfully. “Because I’m a fucking idiot.” He lets out an easy laugh as he nods. “Love will do that to you.”

We've always been best friends, but maybe that's what best friends are—soulmates in disguise. (Hunter's POV, 322)

Miscommunication trope is like my least favorite thing in books, so the fact that these characters refused to just talk to each other was painful. That said these characters are great and their relationship/s are fantastic. I really wanted to skip all the miscommunication drama and get to the good stuff, but I'm just glad they eventually got a HEA.

'I'm sorry. I shouldn't have done that. You're not some sexuality lab rat for me to experiment on.'
Um...yes, I am. Yes, the fuck, I am. (Drake's POV,171)

The bi freak out as Hunter struggles with internalized homophobia from his abusive father part of this book was hard, really hard. Like this book was genuinely the most triggered I've ever been by homophobia in a book, I think specifically because of how internalized it was by Hunter through most of the book.

This is an incredibly well written and well edited book, the writing is really a stand out aspect of the book.

I don't even have words for the disappointment. It gets two stars because it started off well and I enjoyed seeing Hunter's story unfold. The rest gets knocked off for what I read as biphobia and fetishising M/M relationships. Read the queer folks' reviews, is all I can say.

TWs: drug use (past), drug dealing (past), alcohol consumption, sexual content, ref to child abuse, violence, biphobia, homophobia, homophobic slurs

Tropes/rep/themes: BDSM club, shibari, cuckolding, bisexual MMC (Drake/Hunter), only one bed, I see how they look at you
