I may have me a new favorite Sara Cate book! The Homewrecker is a fitting title for this book, in more ways than one. Caleb and Briar’s marriage is suffering, and they have no clue how to fix what’s broken. Meanwhile, they offer Dean (the ex of Caleb’s younger brother) the use of their garage apartment after his house burns down. As an escort, Dean knows sex, people and how to give them what they want. He sees the holes in their marriage, and he isn’t shy about his attraction to both Caleb and Briar.
The emotions behind this triad is what pulled me in. This book could be compared to Give Me More, but on an angstier, messier scale. Caleb and Briar have suppressed their sexual desires, and Dean is the piece they didn’t even realize was missing. Caleb and Briar also provide love and affection that Dean didn’t realize HE was missing. Their triad started off as just sex, but watching them explore what a relationship could be like made my heart warm because all three of them deserved it.
The flashback scenes were perfect for the book, in that the author focused on the irony of Caleb and Briar’s origin story to their love life and journey in the present day with Dean.
And the spice?! Ooo my gosh, I was blushing because the chemistry between these three snuck up on you, and it was explosive when they finally gave in to the inevitable. Yet, each sexual interaction still served to bring the triad closer together, whether it was scenes with all three or just two of them at a time.
I’m ready for the next brother’s book now cause this series is getting better and better!
