I saw someone talk about this book on TikTok and was interested to read this story on Kindle Unlimited.
"Give Me More" is a spicy romance that follows three characters: Isabel, Hunter, and Drake. Isabel and Hunter are happily married and have a very fulfilling sex life, in part because Hunter is part owner of the Salacious Players' Club, a sex club. Drake has been Hunter's best friend for as far back as the pair can remember and has been a cornerstone in Isabel's and Hunter's relationship from day one. On a trip to explore what other clubs offer their patrons, Hunter asks Drake to have sex with Isabel while he watches.
I was pleasantly surprised by who much I enjoyed this story, and how well written it truly was. It takes a skilled author to write such explicit content and not make any moment feel cringey. The opening scene is Isabel and Hunter having sex, and despite jumping straight into the down and dirty, the story felt authentic, and I believed in everyone's relationship with each other.
Isabel and Hunter have such raw honesty with each other, and if a couple wants to pursue this type of sexual situation, that is so pertinent. They are not afraid to call each other out, and they are both open-minded enough to hear out the other when they share a new fantasy. Their relationship would be interesting enough to read about because their characters are already dynamic, but adding Drake just takes the story to another level.
Drake is the playboy that does not think he is capable of a committed relationship. Despite this, he is the best friend to Hunter, and he watches over Isabel as if she were his. I loved getting to see him realize he can be a relationship guy, it just takes the right person, or people, to bring out that side of him.
This book does touch on some internalized homophobia, and it does get very serious and heartbreaking for quite a few chapters. I appreciated this story arch because it made the character feel more authentic, but I wish it was not something I had to see him work through. I wanted a spicy novel with three characters, not to explore homophobic daddy issues. I will say I ultimately enjoyed and was happy to see where the character ended up in his coming out journey.
Additionally, this story did a trope in the epilogue that I do not enjoy. It did not completely turn me off from the story, but I was not exactly pleased either.
I will definitely be interested in picking up more from the Salacious Players Club series.

"I've spent the last decade drilling it into her head - the ones who love you, show it."
It's a no-brainer when Hunter and Isabel take a road-trip to tour other clubs that Drake comes along. The three of them have always done things together, ever since they both saw Isabel years ago walking to a library and she eventually fell in love with Hunter. But as the roads fly by, lines blur between friendship and something more, leaving them wondering if they can come back from a vacation of experimenting with a future they all want.
This is it. This is my favorite. I don't know if anything can top this. This had ALL the vibes I love, from Hunter discovering his bisexuality, to unpacking religious trauma, to Isabel being a total mood (and self insert for me, down to the accountant parents, damn). I LOVED this book. I want to tattoo it on my soul. There were so many incredible moments, because, once again, Sara Cate doesn't half-ass anything and did a wonderful job exploring sexuality and what it means to discover things about yourself later in life.
One of my highlights was, "Hunter could break my spine and I'd thank him" and honestly, that stands. I loved him dearly, just as much as I loved Caleb and Jake in Pucking Around, which also has incredibly similar best friends to lovers vibes. I eat this UP. It's my kryptonite and I don't care. Am I excited for Maggie's book? Kind of, but also I could just flip back to page one and start again with Hunter and Drake and Isabel dancing around each other and discovering how to ask for what they want. 10/10 one of my favorite reads in 2023.

Another solid story from Sara Cate! I enjoyed this book. Again, this book did not hit as strongly as Praise did but still a good story. You can really feel how much Hunter, Isabel, and Drake care about each other. They truly see one another and want to be the best version of themselves for each other. I like this series and am ready to continue reading!

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.

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.”

This was fine, definitely steamy but I was underwhelmed having read Mercy first. I loved the male bi rep, I think that’s a demographic not written about as much, but Isabel felt kind of like an afterthought compared to how fleshed out Drake and Hunter were.
