Eyes on Me by Sara Cate
4.0
I enjoyed this. It wasn’t my favourite book in this series but it was different to what I usually read. I’m not entirely sold on some of the content but I did get into it. The taboo element of it worked well for me, and the chemistry between Garrett and Mia was really hot. I will say some of the sex scenes weren’t as well-written as others I’ve read by this author but it was still really fun and steamy.
I thought the plot was a bit dragged out and the mental health aspect disappointed me as it felt rushed and tacked on at the end. It was such a big topic and a huge part of Garrett’s character, but I think it could have been worked into the story better. He recovered from it very quickly and whilst it was nice to see he finally began therapy and medication for it, I felt like the book could have explored his decision to go for that better. I also could have done with less references to him knowing her as a child? I know that’s a part of the taboo, but it felt very weird to focus in on it so much. I think the age gap could have been tweaked and the book would have worked a lot better.
Aspects of this book weren’t really my cup of tea but I found it an engaging read, the angst worked well and the romance was solid and entertaining.
