For fans of friends to lovers, bad boys, and the “there’s only one-bed” trope.
Hunter and his wife Isabel have been married for ten years in the third installment of the Salacious Player’s Club. While their best friend, Drake, remains at their side. It isn’t until their trip that Hunter starts to develop a desire to share his wife with his best friend, Drake. For Drake, Hunter’s newfound “kink” is dangerous territory for him.
This book has just enough angst. Throughout the book, several revelations about this trio, from Isabel being attracted to Drake first to Hunter’s abusive father hating gay people resulting in Hunter not acknowledging his bisexuality. The entire of this book is about two people in love with Hunter reacting and waiting for his next move. Even as Hunter starts to focus on himself and try to rid himself of his father’s bigotry, Isabel and Drake wait for him, still shocked at Hunter leaving after hurting the two of them.
The angst wasn’t too over the top; instead felt realistic with a problem not being easily solved by sitting down and talking out their issues. For me, one of the issues was if Drake knew of Hunter’s abusive father, why did he not show some understanding of Hunter’s struggle with his sexuality. For me, it’s pretty complicated for me to dissect possibly the love-hate relationship towards ultimatums in romance novels.
Ultimately, this story delves into the complexity of sexuality and the struggle of accepting that sexuality. The characters are likable, and their story is engaging as these three are so in love that it is hard not to root for them.
