THE ANTI-HERO ~ SARA CATE

BOOK REVIEW

.

When saints and sinners collide, sometimes the lines become blurred on who’s good and who only pretends to be.

This was my thoughts while reading Anti Hero by Sara Cate. The prologue alone for me set up a great amount of chaos. No, more like a stage 6 hurricane. Adam Goode being primed to follow his father, Truett Goode’s footsteps to one day become the preacher that he is. Adam, wanting to be the good son and family member, does everything to uphold the Goode name. All of that changes when he runs into Sage, a pink-haired, tattooed, and pierced woman one day at breakfast, where she slips him her business card. After their initial meeting, Sage is all Adam can think about. His thoughts however, get clouded with the conflicts of feeling that he must obey his duties of being a good Christian son, or actually living his own life.

He finds a way out when he learns that the business card he hold from Sage points him in the direction of Pink, the sex club she owns. He’s even further interested when he discovers his father’s name is on the deed. All hell breaks loose when Adam discovers just how naughty his pastor father truly is.

There was so much deceit and deception thrown at both Adam, who feels that his whole life and the values of his family are a lie, while Sage feels burned by her stupid boyfriend, Brett. Through all that, Adam and Sage find themselves leaning on one another and changing because of it. They took fake dating to a whole new level when they do it within Pink.

This was such a heavy read for me. I’ve read kink and elevated spice but there were times where I had to walk away a bit and then resume. Basically this book made me sweat a little bit, so Sara succeeded in giving us a very spicy read.
