These books, in general , are a nice balance of being escapist and realistic.

Bluntly, these are smut with plot. But while kink clubs and heavy handed tropes (like ex-boyfriends dad, stepbrother, ect.) isn’t real-life adjacent for most of us the characters are easily understood and related to. Personally that’s what I look for in romance, spicy or not.

This, book 3 in the series, is no exception. The kink/lifestyle explored in this installment is polyamory. It also deals with coming to terms with internalized homophobia and other stigmas. I appreciate the gravity in dealing with the real struggles within the context of something pretty not-serious. All three of the main characters are like-able. Last but certainly not least, the spice is spicy.

As long as spice is what you’re in the mood for, I’d definitely recommend these. Some of the best in the sub-genre in my opinion. I’ll definitely be continuing and finishing off the rest of the series.

Oh. My. Gosh. I want to start off by saying that I have read some very steamy books in my life, but this one? This one takes the cake! I was completely consumed by the magnetic chemistry between the main characters. The plot was also very nice, but, if I’m being honest, I cared a lot more for the chemistry between the main characters than the plot. It felt more like a secondary thought in the back of my mind. Not bad at all, but I did crave something more from the plot. Otherwise, a very romantic, steamy story.

THIS WAS SUCH A GOOD BOOK. I LOVED the dynamic between the three of them. Watching everyone grow and come into their own, and not afraid of what they want/like was so fun to read. I just really enjoyed my reading experience.

Give Me More is some of Sara Cate’s best writing. The clear, distinct voices between Drake, Hunter, and Isabel have been fleshed out and crafted exceptionally well and are interwoven expertly to create a stunning and immersive novel. I also love the extra POV with the republishing and even though there has been a gap between the original and the new story, the voice still feels original and authentic. I love the Salacious Players Club.

Journey into Passion and Give Me More

Give Me More by Sara Cate is the third installment in the Salacious Payers' Club series. Each book in the series starts about the same with the focus being on the perspective of the main character in that scene.

Sara Cate's "Give Me More" is an electrifying rollercoaster ride through the labyrinth of desire, passion, and self-discovery. From the very first page, Cate's mastery of prose ensnares the reader. This go-'round is owner Hunter, his wife Isabel, and their best friend Drake. This story is deep with not only desire but the internal struggle that Hunter goes through throughout the story.

These three have always had a connection being inseparable for 10-plus years. It is Hunter and Isabel's marriage but with the constant addition of Drake. He tags along on vacations, everyday life, and even on their honeymoon. Feelings eventually start to awaken between not only Isabel and Drake but Hunter and Drake as well.

Give Me More is intricately layered. Having great moments of tension, desire, and downright spice. It is just beautiful in every way. I absolutely loved this and while it is not better than Praise or Eyes on Me. Give Me More does come SUPER CLOSE to being top in the series. These three are just perfect for each other.

“We’ve always been best friends, but maybe that’s what best friends are—soul mates in disguise.”

I don't often get a chance to read MMF stories very often. This one only is the second one that I have read this year. But, I have to say that I was blown away by this story. It was perfectly crafted. Menage sometimes can be an overpowering story, because with the addition of another person ups the ante on the heat factor. With that being said Cate's vivid descriptions and internal monologues provide a rare glimpse into each person's psyche, allowing readers to connect with her on an intimate level.

One of the book's standout features is its cast of multifaceted characters, each contributing a unique layer to the narrative. While each of the stories in The Salacious Players' Club is standalone, they all are somewhat interconnected. Building upon each story with each new installment. The chemistry with each of the owners is perfect. The supporting characters are equally well-developed. Adding depth and authenticity to the story's backdrop leaving readers eagerly turning pages to uncover the secrets that bind them.

Cate's exploration of desire and intimacy is both raw and unapologetic. The intimate scenes are tastefully written. Capturing not only the physical aspects but also the emotional nuances that heighten the experience. The author's ability to navigate these delicate moments with sensitivity showcases her skill in crafting well-rounded characters who feel real and relatable.

“If soul mate means a person whose heart mirrors mine, a twin flame, so compatible that one cannot fully exist without the other, then without a doubt, he is mine.”

While "Give Me More" is undoubtedly a romance novel, it transcends the boundaries of the genre. It delves into themes of self-discovery, independence, and the complexity of human connections. Hunter's personal growth throughout the story is a testament to Cate's prowess in weaving emotional arcs that resonate with readers on a personal level.

The pacing of the narrative is well-balanced, with moments of heart-pounding intensity intermingled with introspective pauses. The plot twists and turns, keeping readers on the edge of their seats, invested in Hunter's journey of self-acceptance and love. And Drake's realization that he wants more than he says he does.

“You can be rough with her,” Hunter says from his place across the room. “She likes it.”

Moreover, Sara Cate's prose is nothing short of mesmerizing. Her evocative descriptions paint a vivid picture of the characters' surroundings, immersing readers in the sights, sounds, and sensations of the world she has created. Her words have an almost lyrical quality that adds an extra layer of allure to the story.

Overall "Give Me More" by Sara Cate is a magnetic and sensuous novel that explores the depths of desire and the intricacies of human connection. And it definitely gets 5 stars. With its compelling characters, skillful storytelling, and exploration of the complexities of love, this book is an invitation to indulge in a world of passion and self-discovery. I never feel like there is enough of these stories, it is that GOOD. Prepare to be captivated, enthralled, and ultimately moved by this remarkable tale.

Happy Reading Readers

Sprinkle Words Like Stardust

Thank you NetGalley and SourceBooks for this ARC!

I've been a fan of Sara Cate and the Salacious Players Club series for awhile, so I was so excited to read another entry into the series. And oh my GOD did Give Me More knock the others out of the water. This book was SO GOOD. While the other two books have felt like very fun smutty novels, this felt like a great novel with a side of great smut. Never did I expect to cry at an erotic novel, but here I am.

I loved these characters SO MUCH. As someone who didn't come to terms with her sexuality until my 20s, I completely related to Hunter's confusion on what he was feeling. Thinking you were one thing your entire life, only to suddenly realize it wasn't that simple? Been there. Completely get it. Cried watching him go through it.

I know several people who are unsure about continuing this series after reading Eyes On Me because the featured trope was not for them. But if you love a why choose?, discovering sexuality, or even just threesomes in your books, give this book a chance. You do not need to read the rest of the series to enjoy it, it will be wonderful skipping the second or even just as a standalone. Please. Read this book. Give it a chance.

"I received this book as an ARC through NetGalley"
So far this series has been so addicting and my obsession did not lessen with Give Me More- if anything it grew! I loved Drake, Hunter and Isabel as individuals and as a couple- I was rooting for them the whole book.. The spice in this book is also sooo great and I was here for it all!! Give Me More has probably been my favorite of this series so far and I didn't want to set the book down (and I was sad when it was over because I wanted more!). I would highly recommend this book to someone who likes a little "taboo" in their reading. I thought this book was so well written and it will be a re-read for sure!!

Overall: 9/10
Spice: 4.7/5
