The Anti-Hero

Sara Cate2023
I've been good long enough.As the eldest son of Austin's most prominent preacher, I've lived my life on the virtuous side. No scandals. Flawless image. Clean reputation. That's the way it must be if I'm going to take his place someday.But everything changes when I find out my father is a VIP member of a local kink club.A liar. A cheater. A hypocrite.Now, I'm done being righteous.And when the club owner's jaded girlfriend comes to me with a proposal, I can't resist.Sage is nothing like the women I've dated before. Pink hair, tattoos, piercings. I know it'll burn my father's reputation to the ground when she and I are seen together.But our fake dating scheme isn't enough. We need videos-dirty videos.The more we film these scenes, the more I like it.She wants me to degrade her, hurt her, violate her.And God help me, I want it too.But it's hardly fake anymore, and before long I don't recognize the Goode man I used to be.

I’m addicted to the good brothers! I didn’t realize I was supposed to read this one first tho. Oops! This book just makes me so excited for more of them I really want to hear more about Isaac. I loved how this realtionship bloomed through out the book. There was so much tension I couldn’t handle it.

3.5/5 This book only confirmed to me that I have slowly outgrown the bad boy/good girl trope, and now all that matters is the bad girl/good boy. I don't know if this book pushed "Mercy" out of first place, but it definitely falls in the second. Because honestly, was this book perfect? No. Does that mean I didn't like it and enjoyed it? Hell no, as I literally read it in one sitting. Can’t wait for the third book as I’m skipping the second one, because of the cheating part.

I received an eARC in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and options are my own. It’s hot, it’s heavy, and it’s everything you need! Oh my lanta did this book make me blush. I absolutely LOVED Adam and Sage. These two are literally perfect together. Adam was giving me whiplash for most of the book, however, the more we learned about him the more things started to make sense. Sage is one tough cookie. I absolutely adored her no nonsense attitude. She’s spunky, and fun, and has all the great qualities of a main character. Adam and Sage are complete and total opposites, but they have such a great connection with one another. Their chemistry was top notch and the dirty talk was out of this world! Adam has a mouth on him 🥵🥵 This is one of those books that I would love to listen to on audio. I think this might be my favorite book by Sara Cate to date. I can’t wait to learn more about the Goode brothers! This is such an excellent start to a brand new series I can’t wait for the next one. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I still don’t know what to think about this one. Not the Sara cate quality I’m used to. I loved the FMC but the MMC just wasn’t enough for me. I am allll for unlikeable characters or characters that start off with real bad takes but he still needed more growth. The plot with this was very up and down and some lost threads here and there. Overall I’d recommend it if it sounds intriguing just to come up with your own opinion cause I still had a fun time, no regrets.

Love the author and this is one of my favorites from her!!! I don’t think I’ve felt the love between her characters like this since Praise and Give Me More. Read it as an ebook but I will need this on my trophy shelf.

Adam is flawed and hurt and needs a pink guiding light back to God, even more, to what faith is all about. And Sage, well girl “that’s what you wanted, wasn’t it? Then fucking take it.”
