Sara Cate does it again, I swear she can literally do no wrong! This series blew me away from book 1 (being in my top 10 books of 2023) and this series just continues to impress. I read book 2 last week and when I saw the tropes I knew I needed this book in my hands the second it came out.
It was so good. The forbidden. The connection. The spice. Oh god. I loved it all. Sara Cate writes such well crafted spicy romances, the spice is intentional and it has a purpose and it's not the same scene every time just in a different location. One my favourite spicy micro-tropes is using a s*x t*y in public but the mmc has the remote control, like holy hell those scenes are so freaking good.
I fell in love with Sadie and Lucas, they were so freaking sweet and I genuinely loved watching their connection develop and the tension is just built with every moment.
Bring on The Prodigal Son because what a fitting title, I'm so ready for Isaac it's not funny.
Again like the first book, I absolutely love what this series is doing with the representation, the issues it discusses. I freaking love Caleb4.25 / 5
Again like the first book, I absolutely love what this series is doing with the representation, the issues it discusses. I freaking love Caleb, Briar and Dean, holy heck were they hot together. I love how much they fought for each other and I love how easily they accepted what it was in the end. It make have taken some time to get there but the journey was bittersweet and perfect.
This book again had spice that was meaningful, it had a purpose and I'm beginning to think books like this are my favourite.
This series is stacking up to be so freaking good and I cannot wait for Lucas' book in 5 days and then The Prodigal Son (and we all know who that's about and I can't freaking wait!!!!)
Sara Cate and The Goode Brothers series can do no wrong!...more
The perfect continuation of Thatcher and Lyra's story, I absolutely adored this book. For their story, it did feel necessary. I loved how Lyr4.25 / 5
The perfect continuation of Thatcher and Lyra's story, I absolutely adored this book. For their story, it did feel necessary. I loved how Lyra taught Thatcher about emotions and what he was feeling. Their connection ran so deep. I love that she slept outside his door knowing he had nightmares or that he tracked something super rare down for her simply because he knew she'd love it. There definitely were some sweet moments in this totally dark romance with literally a ...more
I really enjoyed this, it was the perfect in-between book, I mainly read it though in time for book three because it has one of my favourite tr3.5 / 5
I really enjoyed this, it was the perfect in-between book, I mainly read it though in time for book three because it has one of my favourite tropes. This one didn't have some of my favourite tropes but that's a me issue not the book's fault, but the way these tropes were told so well so I really enjoyed that aspect of that.
This had such good potential, I just feel with the multiple POVs (like 5) it was hard to follow. I also felt there was a serious lull in the stor3 / 5

This was definitely a romance-fantasy, heavy on the romance. I loved Nico and Milla but if you told me this was a mafia marriage of convenience w4 / 5
This was definitely a romance-fantasy, heavy on the romance. I loved Nico and Milla but if you told me this was a mafia marriage of convenience with magic I would believe you. The magic system was not well explained in the first book at all. I did love that this book had a book 1 synopsis....more
Thanks so much to the author and Netgalley for the advanced copy (although I did read it on KU to support the author)!!
I really think this was 3.5 / 5

I really think this was right book, wrong time. It's 100% not the books fault because the premise is amazing and I feel like if I gave the book a second chance I would love it so I probably will when I'm in the mood for it.
Everything though was so good, the plot and the characters. The setting, I don't think I've read something so atmospheric from page 1, the 1920's New Orleans just screams The Originals and I loved that....more
