One of my favourites of the series.
The relationship dynamic in the story felt like it progressed naturally. This was my first time reading this dynamic and I loved how the main characters also developed as individuals throughout their relationship and became stronger in the end. Loved that there was good communication between characters and no third act break up.

It was good. Wasn’t my favorite in the series. I guess this type relationship just doesn’t do it for me.

After reading the first three SPC books, I felt a lot of expectations going into this one. Especially since Beau was SUCH an ass in the first one. But his relationship with Maggie, and their exploration of each other and their true desires, were remarkable. Sara Cate does not disappoint when it comes to writing spice with such heartfelt growth and character development. Beau grows up/into himself and Maggie learns to take charge.

There was no chemistry between the characters and Beau still sucks, sorry, an entire book dedicated to him and he still wasn't redeemed. I am very on the fence about this series - loved the first and third ones, could barely get through this one and the second.

Okay I know pretty much all romance books end in an HEA but why?? Like this would have been so much better if they were just using each other to figure out the lifestyle etc. but instead it tried to force them being actually in love down our throats. Like I'm sorry, but they aren't making it! There are no real feelings there, neither one of them have "changed" or grown into themselves, they're literally a 6 month situationship at best. Beau sucks, he just does. Every moment of his pov and I'm like okay next?? Do I care?? (spoiler - no.) And Maggie was lowky boring. Could've gone deeper into her psychologically or had more of her past life coming into the club life kinda thing but instead what we got was - I was raised in prudishshire and then suddenly I own a sex club... like okay that's a big leap and the book barely touched on it. Also why did we not see a single other one of her friends react/talk/anything to the reveal about Beau? Like she straight up just moved away and the only one she seemed to stay in contact with was Emerson.
Side tangent - did anybody else feel vibes between Emerson and Maggie? (Although lowkey only on Maggie's side?) Like the way she talked about Emerson was like she idolized him, not like he was actually her best friend and it kinda felt like she was crushing on him and settled for his son to me. And I know dom/dom doesn't fit, but Charlie admitted Emerson sometimes switched and Maggie showed she could do so they could go back and forth in their roles - just saying. I still love Emerson and Charlie, but I think Emerson and Maggie are more interesting/better fit than Maggie and Beau.
