Give Me More

Cate keeps the heat on high in her third Salacious Players Club erotic romance (after Eyes on Me). Hunter Scott, co-owner of the elite sex club that gives the series its name, is happily married to Isabel. But for some reason, he can’t stop fantasizing about his bisexual best friend, Drake Neilson, having sex with Isabel while he watches. For his part, Drake feels like a third wheel in Hunter and Isabel’s relationship, but that doesn’t stop him from indulging in his own steamy daydreams about the couple as the trio embark on a road trip to check out sex clubs in other cities. And though Isabel initially worries that Hunter’s fantasy means he doesn’t want her for himself anymore, after an erotically fraught bondage demonstration featuring her and Drake, she too starts imagining new sexual adventures the three of them could share. But what if making things physical with Drake jeopardizes their friendship—or her marriage? Cate does a fine job illustrating her characters’ myriad conflicting emotions even as she ratchets up the sexual tension page by page. Some weight comes from Hunter’s slow realization of his own bisexuality, which is equally well handled. This kinky triad romance brings the goods. Agent: Savannah Greenwell, Two Daisy Media. (Nov.)
