I wanted to say a massive thank you to Valentine PR and Sara Cate for the ARC copy of The Home Wrecker. 

Before you immediately write this book off because of the cheating trope, it’s not what you think. I’m not really sure if there is a good cheating, but if there is this is that. 

I feel like the story really hit close to home, and I saw a lot of myself in Briar, which at times was tough to read and brought tears to my eyes, but I think it was necessary, and I am so grateful for Sara and her ability to write this story exactly the way it needed to be written. 

Caleb and Dean are freaking everything. Daddy Dean works with Sage, the FMC from the Anti-Hero (first book in the series) So, IYKYK lol

The chemistry between Caleb and Dean, and Briar and Dean was just unparalleled to anything I have ever read before. A lot of us read to escape reality, but I found a lot of my reality in this book, which wasn’t a bad thing if anything, I’m extremely grateful that I had the opportunity to read it. 

Sara Cate is one of my all-time favorite authors and there is nothing but she can write that I will not read an absolutely fall head over heels in love with. I really hope we get to read Isaac story at some point in this series, the Goode brothers deserve to come full circle.
