Reviews with content warning for Sexual content - Gravity

This is the 5th Sara Cate book I have read, and the first not in the Salacious Players Club series. I was in a pretty bad slump before picking this up and honestly her books are crack to me. One of the many things I enjoy from Cate is her approach to writing tropes. Even when the book includes a trope I may not typically enjoy, Cate writes it in a way that makes it intriguing and engaging.

In particular, the fake dating and miscommunication tropes. Fake dating is used in a way that doesn't feel like a necessary evil but rather adds to the complexity of the plot. The miscommunication trope is used as a “plot twist” rather than a cliché, which kept me on my toes.

I like that Cate lets the story breathe. The story's pacing is well-executed, with breaks in time between events that make the narrative feel more believable. I appreciate that not everything needs to happen right away and that the gradual development of the story feels more organic as a result. I am eager to start Free Fall, the second book in this duet, and eventually the rest of Cate’s Backlist.

This book was just booooring. It starts off okay but I’m really not into the relationship between Zara and Nash. It was really fucked up and not in a fun way. The book was longer than it needed to be and the drama was not very engaging. I was really disappointing after enjoying SPC a lot.

Well, that was wild...and also wildly entertaining! 🥵 This taboo romance was an attempt on my part to fight a book slump, and yes, I think it worked! (for now). Read it in one sitting, and I'd do it all over again because WHAT?!! 🙆🏾‍♀️🥵😍
