Highest Bidder (Salacious Players’ Club) by Sara Cate

This is the 5th book in the Salacious Players’ Club series which can be read as a standalone.

He’s not just rich…he’s filthy rich.

When I started working at Salacious Players’ Club, I never expected to end up on the auction block ready to grant a date to the highest bidder.

This club is not really my scene. I’m not the kind of girl rich guys take home. I’m more a piano playing, van-living, free spirit kind of girl.

So when Ronan Kade, the richest man at the club, puts down over a hundred grand for my time, how can I tell him no?

But he’s too old. Too rich. Too cocky.

And oh yeah…he once dated my mother.

Except he doesn’t know that. He has no idea who I am.

One date turns into a trip to Paris. And an offer to live with him in his penthouse. Then a promise to take care of me.

Before I know it, I’m calling this silver fox my daddy.

Ronan Kade only bid on one date, but I think he’s winning much more than that.

Can we overcome the years between us to find happiness?

And will he find it in him to forgive me when he learns the secret I’ve been keeping?

This book was everything and more. It was absolute perfection and the best one of the series yet.

And Wander on the cover is absolutely perfect as well. He fits Ronan to a tee.

Ronan Kade.

Daddy Ronan. Holy shit, where do we find one? He was perfect. I absolutely loved it. I loved his dominance and his need to care for Daisy. I loved the fact that he was a pleasure Dom and it suited him perfectly.

Daisy was a good character. I loved her story and how she ended up at the club. The way she ended up with Ronan was brilliant.

They both click instantly. I loved the connection between them both and I enjoyed watching him teach and guide her. The way he cared about her was so sweet. Ronan wears his heart on his sleeve and I loved watching them fall in love. They were meant to be.

The Daddy kink was done well given the large age gap between them. It didn’t feel forced.

The scenes between them were on fire. I loved the spice. Daddy Ronan, Christ, I’d let him have his way with me 🥵

I loved that we got to see more of Eden and Geo. It was nice to see more depth to them and I’m looking forward to Madame’s book next.

Ronan was always going to find out the truth. I got that it was hard for Daisy to tell him after the way he was treating her, but he also needed to know. I was upset at his reaction, but it was also understandable. The characters are so good that you really feel the emotions with what they’re going through.

The ending was brilliant. I loved how things turned out and it was fantastic to see Ronan and Daisy getting their happy ending. They were meant to be.

Overall, this book is absolutely fantastic. It’s my favourite of the series so far because Daddy Ronan is perfection.

I would definitely recommend it.

My rating: 5/5*

His Private Assistant (Billionaire Office Romance) (Thorn Brothers Series Book 1) by Sissi Grandeur

This is the first book in the Thorn Brothers Series.

“Believe me, Electra, when I say this will be an entirely new experience for you.”

And he is right. It is something different, forbidden, and exciting. It is thrilling, sensual, and provocative.
Even when I’m afraid of the unknown, I feel safe. He protects me, cherishes me, and adores me. And at the end of the night, I know that I’m his.

Electra has been a private assistant at Thorn Enterprises for years. She loves her job, and has a great relationship with her boss. However, her usually peaceful life is turned upside down when the current CEO retires and is replaced by his oldest son, Sebastian Thorn.

From the first moment Electra lays her eyes on Bastian, she is enchanted by him; drawn to him. He is like a magnet for her. She can’t get him out of her head. But his behavior toward her is despicable, pushing her to be one step away from quitting her job. She stays to give her boss one final chance, and in return, he rewards her by giving her the most unforgettable experience of her life.

I enjoyed reading this book. The story was good and I liked the characters.

I loved Electra. She was a good character and I loved seeing her thoughts and feelings slowly develop towards Bastian. She knew nothing of his lifestyle, but she was willing to learn. He almost pushed her to the edge, but she gave him a chance which paid off in the end.

I liked Bastian. He was a bit of a grump, especially at the beginning in the office. He made things hard for her until he laid his offer out on the table. I loved the softer more affection side of him and the fact that it was Electra who brought that out of him. I just wished that there was more chapters in his POV.

The scenes between them were steamy. I loved seeing Bastian introducing her to the lifestyle and teaching her about her new role. I liked how Electra pushed his buttons at times. She enjoyed everything he did, even most of the punishments.

There was only small things which stopped me from giving this five stars. I felt the first chapter served no relevance. Yes, it was a new experience for Electra, but it had nothing to do with the rest of the story. I just didn’t see it’s relevance. I also didn’t like the overuse of the word orbs. There are a lot of different ways to describe eyes so it could have been shaken up a little instead of repeating the same word over.

I also get that this was a HFN, but the ending seemed very abrupt. I loved how things progressed and seeing him finally show her his true feelings, but I just felt that it needed something more. The ending just came out of nowhere.

Overall, I enjoyed this book and loved the characters. The scenes were hot and I enjoyed the story. It was a fun quick read and I would recommend it.

My rating: 4/5*

Falling for Them (Cinderella’s Daddies Book 1) by Calista Jayne

This is the first book in the Cinderella’s Daddies series.

Don’t settle for the prince.

I’m dating the son of a successful CEO. But because I work as a maid, my boyfriend treats me like a shameful secret.

When my boyfriend drops me, his father and his father’s best friend are waiting.

They both want me to call them “Daddy.” It’s so depraved, so filthy.

And I must be filthy, too, because I love it.

I really enjoyed this book. The characters were great and I liked the plot.

Ella was a great character. She was down-to-earth and relatable. I loved Kingston and Sebastian and how she met and got to know them. She had time with both of them individually as well as alone, and both of them had good individual personalities.

The scenes between them were hot and spicy, but I also loved how there was a plot as well. I loved how Kingston and Sebastian treated her, especially compared to Joel. I loved how Kingston put his son in his place and defended Ella.

After the small cliffy at the end, I’m looking forward to reading the next.

Overall, I would definitely recommend this book. It was a good quick read with good characters and a good plot.

My rating: 5/5*

Bought (The Highest Bidder Book 1) by Lauren Landish and Willow Winters

This is the first book in The Highest Bidder series which is also a standalone.

Everything has a price … and I’m willing to pay.

I trust no one. I thrive with control and I’ve learned to be ruthless and cold-hearted. I’m not interested in love, but I still have desires.

That’s where Dahlia comes in. She’s never been a submissive before and I’m eager to train her. When I saw her on stage at the auction, dressed in gold, I knew I had to have her.

She was meant to be a distraction. Nothing more.

One lie changed everything. A lie she told to hide how broken she really is.

I own her for now. She’s mine for an entire month.
But a month isn’t long enough for what I want to do with her. I don’t care what the contract says. I bought her and now she’s mine.

I loved reading this book. The characters were great and I enjoyed the story.

Lucian was a fantastic character. I loved watching his emotions develop as his relationship with Dahlia grew. He is such a considerate Dom, always trying to give her what she needs. I enjoyed watching them slowly open up and seeing him trying to help her with what happened.

Dahlia is a good character. She has trauma from her past which she hides from Lucian. Neither of them expected to develop feelings, but they did.

They were a good match and the spark between them was on fire. It was nice watching them grow into something real. I just wish we got to see more of them together without the contract. I felt the situation with Lucian’s ex-wife was left unresolved as well.

Overall, I really enjoyed reading this book and I absolutely loved reading Lucian and Daliah together. Lucian was amazing. I would definitely recommend this book.

I wasn’t ready for sparks to fly, but the moment that they did, I knew that I couldn’t let her go.

Maybe change could be a good thing.
Maybe all I needed was a proper submissive.
I wouldn’t know unless I started walking down this path.

Neon Gods (Dark Olympus Book 1) by Katee Robert

This is the first book in the Dark Olympus series.

He was supposed to be a myth. But from the moment I crossed the River Styx and fell under his dark spell…he was, quite simply, mine.

*A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Hades and Persephone that’s as sinful as it is sweet.*

Society darling Persephone Dimitriou plans to flee the ultra-modern city of Olympus and start over far from the backstabbing politics of the Thirteen Houses. But all that’s ripped away when her mother ambushes her with an engagement to Zeus, the dangerous power behind their glittering city’s dark facade.

With no options left, Persephone flees to the forbidden undercity and makes a devil’s bargain with a man she once believed a myth…a man who awakens her to a world she never knew existed.

Hades has spent his life in the shadows, and he has no intention of stepping into the light. But when he finds that Persephone can offer a little slice of the revenge he’s spent years craving, it’s all the excuse he needs to help her—for a price. Yet every breathless night spent tangled together has given Hades a taste for Persephone, and he’ll go to war with Olympus itself to keep her close…

I absolutely loved this book. The characters were great and I loved the relationship development between them. There was also a good plot.

Hades, my God, that man, he was perfect. I loved him and his dark brooding mood. He saves Persephone, and agrees to help her to serve both of their purposes. I loved how he would do anything for her, even sacrificing himself. It was endearing.

Persephone was a great character. She was so feisty and strong-willed. She runs from Zeus to save herself and ends up with Hades. I love how forward she was with him. They had a spark from the start and I loved seeing their emotion grow into something real. It was great seeing them fall in love.

The spice between them was smoking. I loved it. I think Hades tastes complimented Persephone perfectly. It not only makes a point to Zeus, but it also makes them develop real feelings. The more I learnt about his life, the more I loved him. I also loved how Persephone stayed strong with him. She made herself her his equal and he embraced that and worshipped her.

The story is good. I loved the spin put on Hades and Persephone and the fact that Zeus was the bad guy. Most of all, I loved Hades. I loved the ending and the fact they chose each other.

Overall, this was a great book and I would definitely recommend it. I’m looking forward to reading the read of the series.

My rating: 5/5*

Buttons and Hate by Penelope Sky

This is the second book in the buttons series.

I’m working off my buttons.

But I’m also giving them away.

The more I fall for Crow, the more I want him to do the things that I want.

Dinners, dates, and evenings at the beach.

Everything comes at a price, and the hoard of buttons I worked hard to earn are quickly depleted.

Will this go back and forth forever? Or will someone run out of their buttons first?

I really enjoyed reading this book. The characters are brilliant and the story and plot flow well.

I love Pearl. She’s such a strong character. Even after everything she’s been through, she stays strong and as independent as she can be.

Crow is frustrating. I absolutely loved how his relationship with Pearl has grown into some more, but he is so stubborn and stuck in his head that he won’t admit the truth or face how he really feels. I’m mad with him after the ending.

The story is good. I like how Pearls relationship with Cane took a nose dive before building again. She got through a lot once again, but this time she had Crow there to pick up the pieces.

Crow better go after her and I really want to see them take Bones down together. The spark and spice between them is smoking hot, but there’s also emotion involved. Emotion that Crow can’t seem to face. I hope he realises what his stubbornness has cost him so that he can go and fix his mess.

Overall, this book was great and I’m looking forward to reading the next. I would definitely recommend it.

My rating: 5/5*

Mercy (Salacious Players’ Club) by Sara Cate

This is the forth book in the Salacious Players’ Club series which can also be read as a standalone.

I don’t want to hurt him—I just want to punish him.

It’s bad enough being the only female owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, but I’m also the only one without a kink, or so I thought.

Imagine my surprise when the kink quiz suggests that I’m not so vanilla after all.

In fact, I’m a lot more like Emerson Grant than I thought.

Just one problem—I have no idea how to be a Domme.

That is, until the app matches me with someone willing to help me learn.

He’s too young for me.

Too stubborn. Too good looking.

And, oh yeah, my friend’s son.

Beau Grant is a brat. I’d hate that about him if I didn’t love punishing him so much.

Underneath all of that attitude is a man who is misunderstood, selfless, and in need of direction.

But if he wants mercy, he has to earn it.

There are a million reasons why I should stay away, but I’m tired of doing what everyone thinks I should do.

I finally know what I want, and I’m ready to take what’s mine.

I loved reading this book. The characters are fantastic and I loved the story.

Beau is becomes a completely different person to when you first meet him in Praise. He grows up and learns more about himself. He realises how his behaviour has been and he fixes it. It’s hard not to love him in this book. He was just a poor broken soul who needed some guidance and Maggie is all to thank for it.

Maggie is brilliant. She is such a strong character and it was fantastic watching her realise who she was meant to be in this book. It makes you want to bow for her. I loved her relationship with Beau and how she handled him and his brat behaviour. They both learnt together and grew into the lifestyle.

This is the first Domme book that I’ve read and I really enjoyed it. Maggie was just what the series needed and it just solidfied her position as one of the clubs owners. The scenes were smoking hot and I loved it. I love how it showed that a man is allowed to submit. There is nothing wrong with it.

Another thing I loved in this book was seeing everyone else happy. We’ve seen epilogue’s to Garrett and Mia years in the future and the same for Drake, Hunter and Isobel, but we didn’t quite get that for Emerson and Charlotte. In this book, we saw Emerson and Charlotte with their happy future which I loved. It was also great seeing Beau’s behaviour change towards them, and then Emerson’s reaction and acceptance back when he found out about Maggie and him. It was always going to be a little weird, but so was his relationship with Charlie. Acceptance goes both ways and at the end of the day, you can’t help who you love.

Overall, this was a fantastic book. The entire series has been brilliant. Each book has been its own story, however I’ve loved the character overlaps. I would definitely recommend this entire series.

My rating: 5/5*

Give Me More (Salacious Players’ Club) by Sara Cate

This is the fourth book in the Salacious Players’ Club series which can be read as a standalone.

I’m a scoundrel

Playboy. Man whore.

Basically, I get around, and I’m not afraid to admit it.

So when my best friend opens up Salacious Players’ Club and asks me to head the construction, how could I say no?

Now we’re on a cross-country road trip touring other kink clubs, and I couldn’t be happier.

Life is good.

Then Hunter suddenly asks me to sleep with his wife…while he watches.

I’ll do anything for my best friend, but this is the one request I should say no to.

Isabel is the woman of my dreams, but she’s his.

And the exact reason I should say no is the one reason I say yes.

Because it’s not only Isabel I want.

These are the two most important people in my life, and if we go down this path, how will I ever be able to walk away?

I’m not sure my best friend understands just how much I’m willing to do for him—and why.

I absolutely loved this book. The characters are fantastic and the story and development was great.

Hunter, Drake and Isabel are all fantastic characters. I love the friendship between them all and watching it develop.

Hunter and Isabel have been happily married and together for ten years while Drake has always be around. He’s been a part of the relationship since the beginning really as their best friend.

Hunter suddenly realises that he wants to watch Drake have sex with his wife, and you can understand the hesitancy that Drake and Isabel have. They are both attracted to each other though. I loved the spark between them.

I loved seeing Drake realise that he loves her and then seeing him want Hunter too. Really, he has always loved Isabel and his best friend. I absolutely loved seeing Hunter slowly getting involved. The internal battle he has over his sexuality was brilliant to read. He needed time to come out and accept it.

The love between the three of them was brilliant to read, and the spice. Christ, it was on fire. I’ve never been the biggest fan of MM scenes, but these ones were done well. The connection between them is what made them great, and then with Isabel as well. I loved it.

I think the three of them went through a journey of discovery, finding their true self. It takes a while for them to realise that the three of them belong together and that really, Drake has always been a part of them. I loved the poly relationship they end up in.

Overall, I absolutely loved this book. The characters were fantastic with great character developments. I would definitely recommend it.

My rating: 5/5*
