Beau, the ex-boyfriend’s girl, with Emerson, the ex-boyfriend’s father whose business partner Maggie was with his son. Oh, and the twist of potential hypocrisy between the four, punctuated by love for a son, was there too. I have to admit that the trepidation added to the fear and joy of the story, as well as the bittersweet healing: father, son, ex.

I also loved the subliminal applause of self-acceptance without fanfare, e.g. transgender, and Sophie’s demonstrated kinship with Beau, simplicity, naturalness and caring. Likewise, other characters and their non-traditional roles and accepted turns of phrase were portrayed in the SPC. Speaking of which, there have been appearances from everyone, and especially Emerson and Charlie from Praise, so central to the shaping and forbidden of Beau and Maggie’s relationship. The challenge is tougher than she first expected. Nash isn’t just wild, but he’s also dangerous. And Alistair is much more broken than he allows the world to believe. The three of them are all bound by grief. It is up to Zara to feed his hunger and heal Alistair’s pain. She enjoys taking risks and writes her stories right from the heart. And she wants nothing more than to be an author that readers trust to give them books which are steamy yet with some well rounded characters and a strong storyline.

Seeing her come out of her shell was so beautiful! I have had a similar experiences like Maggie had as a young person. I was cheering her on by the end of the book when she stood in her strength as a BOSS! Once she let her true Domme/Brat Tamer nature come through it was a BAB in the building! Male Main Character I loved how these two came together through a modern and surprising app developed by Salacious Players Club (SPC). Humor and irony were not to be overlooked. Just a fun mix of personalities that weren’t originally meant to be taken seriously, right down to the first text. This was the beginning of an exploratory and educational experience for both of them, which grew into a relationship. She strives to be a forbidden and taboo romance author that dares to tell stories that have toe-curling heat and heart wrenching plot. She’s a soft spot for age gap, a ton of angst, and guys so bad that you just cannot help but love them. Her books have big feels and high stakes. Sara Cate is an author with a passion for empowering women and normalizing boundary-pushing reading experiences. Sara has been known to get on soapboxes to rant about things that trigger her, like when the romance industry is discredited or belittled by calling it “trash.” If you’re ever around Sara when she starts talking about something that’s important to her, be prepared – she could go on for days! This book is both graphic and explicitly about a sexual relationship. If you’re sensitive to these topics… I don’t know why you’re trying to read this book lol

Sara’s passion in life is to normalize a reading experience which pushes the boundaries and empowers women to own their sexuality. Things which trigger her soapbox rants are discrediting the romance industry or belittling all of its readers by calling it “trash”. Lines get crossed, and rules are broken. While on the island, there is nobody to tell them it’s wrong. Zara knows that she must choose before she succeeds in ripping this family apart. However she does belong to both of them. One has her heart, while the other has her body.I loved the realistic awkwardness and clumsiness of Beau’s father’s relationship with Beau’s ex-girlfriend. It was a touchstone, tangible and not swept under the rug, that added to the forbidden allure of Beau’s relationship with Maggie, his father’s business partner. What a twist on the traditional age gap when instead a woman discovers her inner domme, who also has a thing for brats. Enter Beau featured in Lob and he definitely fits the title. Both are new to their naughtiness and their roles: who would have expected the normally quiet Maggie to embody a dominant personality and the egotistical Beau to be submissive? Sure I could see his bellows features, but sub? Surprise surprise. Also, the FMC is in her 30s, works with 3 male friends in their late 30s/40s, and feels out of place with their girlfriends - because the guys are all dating these girls in their early 20s. It's implied that she just has trouble relating to other women. No, I don't think that's it. Also, apparently she's really uptight and prudy because she doesn't feel comfortable in a sex club. I think you can be totally comfortable in your own sexuality and not feel comfortable in a sex club! Sara Cate is a USA Today bestselling author who writes tantalizing, heartfelt stories about romance and forbidden desire. She lives in Arizona with her husband and kids. She enjoys reading, writing, and baking in her spare time.

It’s bad enough being the only female owner of the Salacious Players’ Club, but I’m also the only one without a kink, or so I thought. The Sara Cate Experience means getting pulled into a story and escaping reality a bit for romances which are just as emotional as they are arousing. The steam is scorching and the feelings are strong. There isn’t ever one without the other because when love and sex come together, the result is fireworks. I recognize that a man can be submissive and not lose his manhood, but the same can be true that the hero can be alpha despite being a submissive brat. Their relationship had an air of father-son. Also, Maggie’s joy at the administration of pain and the key event of submission weren’t that appealing, maybe because of that, and to me they defied her alpha. Still, the self-education, research, and careful experimentation with character boundaries, especially Maggie’s, were well done. Plus the aftercare was sweet and so heartwarmingly reassuring. Beautifully, the story described Maggie and Beau’s growth and acceptance, embracing them and being comforted by the lifestyle, especially after Beau gave it up. I enjoyed reading about her insecurities in her new roles. How Maggie talked jazzed up. I liked and found Beau’s meanness about wanting to be punished for an acquittal and having someone else lead him because he was out of control amusing.I have to rant about this, because I DNFd at 5% and it's been awhile since I was so angry at a novel. Premise is a woman who's part-owner of a sex club discovers she's sexually dominant and starts a relationship with her co-worker's bratty son, who's in his 20s. What she does not know is that under all of his tattoos is a seedy habit and a life of crime. Logan’s always had a tough time saying no. If he isn’t careful, this girl is going to be his new addiction. And his ruin, too.

He is 22 and the son of Emerson Grant, another part owner of Salacious Players’ Club. He is also the ex-boyfriend to Charlie, Emerson’s fiancé/wife. He is described as emotionally volatile and unruly. He looks like a young version of Emerson.

Sara Cate is a talented writer of steamy contemporary romance novels with high stakes and powerful emotions. She is particularly drawn to stories that feature forbidden relationships, age gaps, and complex characters who are dealing with tough personal struggles. Along with the domme sub dynamics of Maggie and Beau and reading A Hot Spoiled Guy Crawling Inside His Lover and other D/s sessions, hot!, there were a few exercises that didn’t appeal to me as much. I can still appreciate his adherence to the pillars of BDSM: safe, sane, and consensual. I can also admit that Beau probably justified it and asked for it.
