I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I thought I would. I think that Sara Cate’s daddies are not for me because I didn’t like Emerson from Praise and I also didn’t like Ronan. The daddy vibes were off, and he didn’t seem very intimidating or demanding to me. He seems like a pretty normal guy, and I didn’t really connect to them or see their chemistry. The FMC was spoiled and sobbed all the time, and wasn’t responsible enough to take care of herself and eat. I didn’t really like her that much. It felt like she would string Ronan along, even though he was very understanding and kind to her. I didn’t think that they gelled, and some of the conversations were pretty cringy to me. I also hated the third act. I predicted it from the very first chapter of the book and that really annoyed me because I was hoping it would be a little bit more deep or flushed out, but it was exactly what I expected. It made the book very anti-climatic for me.

Well, well, well, she does it again! Sara Cate hit it out of the park with latest from The Salacious Players Club. This book was sooooo good!

⭐Age Gap
⭐Daddy
⭐Pleasure Dom
⭐Sex Cub

I'm absolutely enamoured with Ronan Kade, like just the way he is such a beautiful human and ugh, I don't even know how to describe how wonderful he is.

I loved that his and Daisy's relationship started out more as a friendship (at least on the outside). This book definitely had me shed some tears, so be prepared for that.

I was pleasantly surprised to find an ARC copy of this arrived over night on my Kindle the other day, but this review is completely voluntary.

I had already pre-ordered this book and now I'm even more excited for it to arrive!

⭐️4 Ronan Daddy! Silver fox! Best qualities in a man! He was everything and calling him Daddy was a huge turn on! The huge age gap (35 years !!!!!) was the sexiest element in the book and I could not love more about being taken care of by an older man (especially a billionaire.) so happy that he got the chance to be a father again. I felt like he was going to have more kids with Daisy according to his inner thoughts showing in his epilogue and kink in pregnant woman (pregnant Daisy I mean). Just sad that we only got to see a little of the people from previous Salacious books. A few sentences on Emerson, Garrett and Mia. I would love to see other guys as well :(

i will be oh so honest with all of you and admit that i speed ran the entire salacious players series just so i could read the newest installment over a quote i saw on tiktok. no i am not ashamed.

daddy ronan ??? oh how i LOVED this man !!! binged an entire series for him and my daddy issues do not regret it one bit. where is my pleasure dom that wants to casually take me to paris and spoil the shit out of me ?? i’m waiting.

the spice was top tier. typical sara cate behavior. but the absolute heart jerking emotion that this book filled me with ?? what the hell ?? it had the exact kind of angsty bits to it that she loves to hit us with.

i more than likely adored this book because it’s one of my favorite dynamics and daisy and i desperately need therapy for our daddy issues. i would’ve been falling at ronan’s feet too, girl

„as long as she's not in my arms, i don't want to breathe at all.” oh god where do i start. i love ronan and daisy so incredibly much. i love their story, their dynamic, ugh i just love everything about them. chapters 35 & 39 hurt me like a motherfucker and i do not want to talk about them. at first ronan gave me the ick, but that changed within like 20 pages. if i had to tell someone my favorite couple in the spc series i'd be dead, because i could not for the life of me choose between daisy and ronan, garrett and mia or isabel, drake and hunter. can't wait for eden's book!!!!!
