Just like Praise, this taboo age-gap story had me hooked from the beginning. Mia has loved Garrett for a while now but because he is her step-brother nothing has ever happened, but a week at the lake changed everything...
The ups and the downs between the two characters are understandable, and the little miscommunication trope is not drawn out at all, which I really enjoyed.
I loved seeing little bits of Emerson and Charlie in this book, and I read the blurb for the next book and I cannot wait, also really hope Eden gets a HEA by the end of the series.

The fact that I can’t rate this a 10 star here should be illegal.
Did I binge this book in one sitting? Yes. Is SPC on the right track to become one of my favorite series ever? Also yes! And I’ll tell you why.
This book was the perfect mix of humor, spice & serious subjects.
By the 30% mark, I knew it was going to be a full blown 5 start review - AGAIN! Sara has a way of weaving serious, heartfelt subjects into the subplots of her books, that when you realize it… you’re crying, or at the very least, tearing up. And with this one, I felt myself wanting to grab Garrett & wrap him in a blanket and snuggle him.
And don’t even get me started on how much I adored Mia. Her confidence and “taking back my power” attitude were really inspiring, especially for a 23 year old.
I loved seeing Garret & Mia’s relationship progress from “I hate you” to them becoming what brings each other peace, comfort and strength.
Also, I really enjoyed seeing the relationship between Emerson & Garrett - especially in that one chapter where Emerson puts his foot down and refuses to let Garrett go through that episode alone any longer.
Now… the spice. It’s everything and more! The series is called Salacious Players’ Club (one of the best fictional śēx clubs), after all! Of cooooourse there will be top tier spice. And let me tell you, that Sara went and did us a solid by putting groveling + pegging together and the result was

Another great very spicy book from Sara Cate. I’m typically not into the step-sibling trope, but I think Cate pulls this one off nicely. I’m giving it only 4 stars because I would have liked her to dive deeper into the MMC

earlier in the book to address them a bit better. Additionally, I would like to see more side character development from the author. Overall, a very enjoyable read.

Nobody does taboo like Sara Cate, as all eyes turn to Garrett and Mia in this stimulating and seductive continuation to the Salacious Player’s Club.
Cate’s words were the perfect tease, a temptress guiding you deeper into the illicit affair of the heart that sparked between these fiery and daring step-siblings.
Garrett and Mia were both unapologetically themselves as their passions and kinks were unmasked, the tension between them tight and enticing. I admired the raw and truthful portrayal of Garrett’s mental health and the support provided by his network of friends and family as Cate presented this brief snapshot of reality in all its intricacies. Both of them exhibited great character development as they explored their relationship and I enjoyed the sweet and tender moments balanced with what has become Cate’s signature spice.
Eyes on Me was a tasteful and electric exploration of voyeurism and exhibitionism, and once more Cate has delivered a hot and forbidden romance that was impossible to put down!
