Sara Cate does it again! In the homewrecker, you will follow the story of Blair, Caleb and Dean. Never before did I think I would enjoy reading a book with a cheating trope in it but Sara has a way of changing your view tropes. You will want to read the trigger warnings before you go into this book. I would advise, reading the anti-hero first to have a little bit more of a backstory about the Goode Brothers. This book has it all angst tearjerker moments and hard, fought happily ever after.

I loved all the different perspectives in the book, although it made it hard to follow who was who at points.

This is such a great book to explain and understand poly relationships!

I was completely invested in this one. This was a spicy good time with emotional hearts that will pull at your heart.

Briar and Caleb are going through a rough patch in their marriage. Enter Dean. I loved the connection that developed between the three of them. They each brought something unique to the relationship. Dean truly helped Briar and Caleb heal, and find their missing part.

The spice was delicious and so hot. Sara just knows how to write it.

I listened to this one on audio, and the narrators were absolutely fantastic!

The Homewrecker was the book I didn’t know I needed. It was an honor to be selected as an ARC reviewer for [author:sara-cate] whom I think is a fantastic author and creates memorable characters and stories. The Homewrecker lived up to Sara’s other work coming in hot 🔥 with the spicy 🌶️ scenes and exploring new relationships.

How I’d rate:
* Overall - 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
* Plot - 5/5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
* Characters 4.5/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
* Spice - 4/5⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

What I loved:
* Character relatability
* Spice 🌶️
* Raw emotion 😁😢😊🥲

The Homewrecker was a wonderful read and it’s wonderful because Sara doesn’t shy away from telling a story about people who acknowledge and learn to accept their wants and needs that do not align with societal expectations. The Homewrecker is about a married couple who has a life that society would see as picture perfect and while they love each other they know they’re not as happy as they’re perceived to be. This book delves into how relationships can become stronger when all of their desires are in the open allowing Briar (FMC) and Caleb (MMC) to create a life that fulfills their needs. All of their needs, even the need that recognizes that maybe we can’t get everything we need from one person and the opportunities when we open our minds and hearts to that possibility. This was a beautifully written story and could be the story of our sibling, our next door neighbor, our best friend or countless other individuals who evolve to find that it’s not always two halves that make whole, sometimes it’s three thirds that make whole.

Who this book is for: This book is for someone who is comfortable reading about emotions and actions that people are quick to avoid sharing and for someone who can appreciate that life’s greatest blessings can come from exploring our whole self and living our truth.
