Give Me More

Good read
4.5๐I really enjoyed this book, it wasn't as spicey as I thought it would be, but it was top quality as always from Sara. In all seriousness, this is the BEST MMF I have ever read and the most believable in terms of being able to imagine it working for all three of them equally. The love between them was tangible and really well written by Sara, really honest and genuine and I was routing for them the whole way through. There were a couple of bits in it that I would have liked to have seen done differently.1. This is more general in all MMFs - Hunter states that Drake is the best he has ever had at a certain act (hot as hell in the dark and not surprising) but earlier in a similar situation, Isabel states that Drake is 'different' but the way she responds to Drake throughout she is definitely getting something from him that she needs and at times better than from Hunter - and I think that's ok, why can't she be allowed to say that Drake is better than her husband at times for her - I just wanted her to be more clear on how it was better for her too (she was my favourite - major girl crush)I get the bisexual/MM discovery, and it's so hot and emotional in this one and feels needed as Hunter and Drake work their relationship out. I liked that we got Isabel's POV when H&D were together for the first time fully - that's what made them all be together, even if they were not all physically together at that moment, it was important because of their dynamic as a trio and it was beautifully done and we got lots of other more detailed MM times!2. I found myself wanting more Isabel and Drake - they were hot!!Hunter and Drake โ ๐ฅโ๏ธ were covered really well and oftenDrake, Isabel & Hunter was epic ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅDidn't get much Hunter & Isabel but they were so intune with each otherBUT Drake and Isabel's chemistry and emotional connection was fire! That relationship could have been explored much more to show them as a couple especially in the two months alone!! I think they would caved more than once ๐ There were more rules for Isabel and Drake than with Drake and Hunter - I get why, Isabel was amazing at helping Hunter with his sexuality but again - I was routing for her having as much fun and discovery with Drake!3. Slightly more fire and jealousy - I do think there would have been a little more at the beginning, regardless of sexuality.(I was also a little disappointed that they didn't invite Madame kink in for the epilogue! - that would have been super hot!! The babies were a buzz kill, nothing sexy about that! ๐๐ Joking aside though the epilogue was sweet (Drake and Hunter still horny together like boys!)The bonus scene showed how they were together 2 years later which was gorgeous and a perfect ending, three soulmates coming together - perfection.These are minor little points, this was a masterclass in a non toxic, poly, loving, sexy, equitable, friends MMF and utterly enjoyable.

red flag central!
Honestly, Iโm not sure how to review this. I really enjoyed the first half of the book and their developing relationship as a trio and the spicy scenes were great. But then the red flags started waving all over the place and it increasingly started to leave a bitter taste in my mouth. Until I very nearly dnf at 70% read.I think my two biggest issues were:1. The way Isabel was treated within their relationship.She increasingly became sidelined and was essentially used as an excuse for Hunter to have the relationship he really wanted- with Drake. This culminated in the two men having sex without her, which to me came off as cheating. He could have easily told her when he went into their bedroom that it was going to happen so she could consent. He could have even suggested she watched, giving his consent to her actions.(Iโll address her actions in this scene in my next numbered point!)Especially as in the morning Hunter wasnโt even going to tell her about it, that made it even more cheating vibes.Then there was the comment at the end that the 2 men sneak around behind her back, just because, even when sheโs pregnant! This cemented my thoughts and immediately not like the dynamic there.My other issue linked to this being they agreed early on her and Drake wouldnโt be together without Hunter, so why was it acceptable for the two guys to go there without her, without so much as a shoulder shrug at the betrayal? There needs to be boundaries set for all to stick to or adapt to, not just for some. It made Hunter come off as selfish.2. My other major concern is the way bisexuality was shown and how MM relationships were fetishised for the female gaze. It really didnโt sit well with me.The fact that there were characters who are bisexual was great, Iโm all for representation in romance novels, but not if itโs purely for the โsalaciousโ entertainment of the reader. Having one of them who was a โscoundrelโ who wouldnโt be tied down because he would miss either male/female company if he committed to one person is such an awful stereotype of bisexuality. The idea that theyโre all promiscuous purely because of their sexuality is completely wrong and made me uncomfortable at the implication.Then there was the MM scene, which had so many red flags flying there was a tornado. Not only was it cheating (already mentioned) but why was it necessary for it to be from her pov? I understand sort of that the author wanted her to be involved in the scene as a way for her consent but it came off as female gaze. If that had been a man doing that I would have called it as completely wrong, and so Iโll call this out too. Like I mentioned earlier, a simple conversation beforehand between Isabel and them would have solved the whole issue before it even started.I really enjoyed the previous 2 books in this series, and itโs a shame this one didnโt quite hit the spot for me. Iโm not sure at the moment if I want to read the next. Iโll think on it.

Give Me More follows married couple Hunter and Isabel and Hunter's best friend Drake. What starts off as a bit of steamy fun between friends turns into much more.There was one element of the plot that although didn't surprise me because I should have expected it I went into reading it not expecting it ๐ But I was here for every single moment.๐ค Best Friends to Lovers๐ค Hot Wifing๐ค Voyeurism๐คRoad Tripโ๐ด๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐โ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐. ๐จ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐ฐโ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐โ๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐, ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐.โI loved watching the characters work through their internal conflicts, especially Hunter and Drake, when they work the fine line between friends with benefits and friends with a whole lotta feelings.โ๐ป๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐ ๐. ๐ฐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐, ๐๐ ๐๐๐๐.โSara Cate knows how to write a steamy scene but she folds in the emotional connection which makes you latch onto every single word. Sara Cate writes not only about kinks in this series but a strong emphasis to never be ashamed of it!Give Me More is definitely my favourite in the series so far however Mercy is due soon with a strong female lead๐ค

You will fall in love with Hunter Drake & Isabel
If you are looking at this book hopefully you've already read Praise and Eyes On Me? If not go back immediately and start with Praise! All the books in this series are great, and while you can read them standalone you'd be doing yourself a favour by reading them all.Getting back to Give Me More... This focusses on Hunter and Isabel and what happens when they change and explore their relationship with their best friend Drake. We met these characters in the previous books and I'll admit they mostly flew under my radar. Hunter and Isabel were quiet and Drake was a perpetual ladies man and seemingly professional wind up merchant. But once Sara Cate puts you inside their heads and you get each of their POV's as their entire dynamic changes - it amazing! Sara Cate writes their perspectives so well, you will be completely engrossed in how they all grow together.As you might expect, discovering and exploring a polyamorous relationship comes with high highs, but also there will be lows. And this is where most of the plot is that drives the character growth. This is not a book with an external plot, nearly all the character development comes from internal emotional growth for each of the characters. And it's beautiful.And not to state the obvious here but it's an exploration of polyamory - Expect Spice. And if you've read Sara Cate before... expect more spice than you've ever seen her write before. I'm not joking - be prepared. But please know that the sheer volume of spice is in no way at the expense of the exploration of the characters. It's a balanced spicy romance books and it's well worth your time to read it.I received this book as an ARC (advanced reader copy) and I also bought a copy on release day because I love it so much.
