Okay, first off, this was a fun read. Sara Cate just knows how to pull you into a story and make you hooked! But letโ€™s talk about the main character Zara, girl had me slightly annoyed with her indecisiveness and immaturity. Like, make a choice, bestie! But somehow, I still couldnโ€™t put the book down. LOL

Now, letโ€™s get to the real topic here, Alistair Wilde. I imagine him as Henry Cavill ๐Ÿ™Œ And then I find out I was thinking the same thing in Chapter 3.

The familial taboo? yeah, not even remotely bothered. As long as itโ€™s an old, rich man, Iโ€™m already halfway in love. ๐Ÿ˜‚ So thanks, Sara, for delivering exactly what I needed. Gravity was addictive, spicy, and had me in my feelings. A little frustrating at times? Sure. But did I love the ride? Absolutely.

Wow, what a beautifully complicated, steamy, love story of finding yourself through an unforgettable experience and shared grief. I was not expecting it to be as emotional as it was, but I enjoyed every second of reading Gravity and cannot wait to read Free Fall! The spice was SPICY of course as is Sara Cateโ€™s specialty, always coming up with new experiences I never wouldโ€™ve dreamed of. I highly recommend this book to anyone who loves to read romance, especially with a little taboo and loves to get sucked into a beautiful story they canโ€™t put down

Gravity is an intense, taboo love story that had me so engrossed I could not put it down. This novel was emotional, sizzling hott and angsty and is a messy triangle of lust and love. The characters were all flawed each suffering through the devastation of losing a loved one and it is that loss that brings them all together.

The story follows a trio of characters- the heroine Zara, who is mourning the unexpected loss of her twin sister, and Alastair and Nash, a father and son whose son/brother perished with Zaraโ€™s sister.

The story was well written and highly entertaining. It pushes boundaries and shows how love can be unconventional and unpredictable. This novel definitely takes you on an unexpected journey with these characters. I loved it and would highly recommend it to lovers of love triangle romance.

This is the book that made me fall in love with Sara Cateโ€™s books! Zara, Alistair, and Nash have one complicated love triangle and ya girl IS HERE FOR IT!

Throughout the book you will be pushed and pulled in different directions, but she ended up with exactly who I wanted her to! This book is piping hot! Scenes I still think about to this day.

This was so much more than a love story - itโ€™s a true story of grief and how you handle it.

First I will start by saying I am usually not a fan of love triangles so that did impact my rating however I really did enjoy how this one played out. It was equal.parts spicy and emotional. The way these flawed characters helped to heal each other was beautiful to read. This is a little taboo so if you don't like that sort of thing you may not enjoy this but I was here first r it every second and I will definitely reading the next book after I finish this review

Happy Reading

A read that will hold you down. I completely devoured this book. Omg. I am shaken. The couplings are so forbidden and taboo. However, you can feel how lost they all are individually. They're all suffering with bereavement and the psychological effects it can have. The fact that both father and son believe they have found some form of recovery in Zara produces a chaotic tale of grief and healing.I am quite interested in what is to come in free fall.

First and foremost, Sara NEVER misses. She's said it herself, if it wasn't for Gravity, SPC wouldn't have existed. She bends the "normality" of how spice is written. It's taboo, but she does it in a way that is so hot and steamy. Makes you feel all kinds of emotions while reading.

Zara, Nash and Alistair are very complex characters. Especially due to the death of their loved ones. Zara is the definition of "I will fuck you and your dad". I loved every minute reading this. I love how sex positive this book is. And I honestly fell so in love with Alistair. I am so excited to read Free Fall and Nash's story!

This had a lot more on page, er, romance, than her other more recent books. It was giving Credence vibes for sure.

I enjoyed this story, but did feel that it was missing some of the more in depth storytelling that Iโ€™ve gotten used to from Sara Cate. Sheโ€™s clearly never been afraid of the taboo but readers should be aware of what theyโ€™re getting in to before diving in.

This book was such an emotionally charged read packed with enough HEAT ๐Ÿ”ฅ to make you need a cold shower afterward! ๐Ÿ˜ฎโ€๐Ÿ’จ

โœจZara is our leading lady who finds herself caught up in a love triangleโ€ฆ although itโ€™s not just your average triangle as this particular woman ends up getting involved with a father and son duoโ€ฆ someone say taboo?! ๐Ÿคฃ

๐Ÿ–คNash Wilde canโ€™t be tamed but thatโ€™s exactly what his father, Alistair, asks Zara to attempt with a pricy offer that she just canโ€™t refuse! Three months on a private island as Nashโ€™s girlfriend while sharing the house with both him and his father. What could possibly go wrong?

โœจI loved how entertaining this story was and getting to see these characters find themselves again! If you love a spicy, age gap romance thatโ€™s also taboo, this one if for you!

๐Ÿ–คThank you so much to Sara Cate and Team, Source Books Casa and NetGalley for providing me with this gifted copy! ๐Ÿซถ๐Ÿป *I was sent this gifted copy and am leaving this review voluntarily*

โ€œI see what you awaken in him because itโ€™s the same thing in me.โ€

An accident. Guilt. An arrangement. When you recognize the pain in someone else because itโ€™s the same pain that consumes you. But how far will you go to mask the pain?

Zara, Nash, and Alistair experience a great tragedy. What follows next are a series of choices. This is an honest look at grief. Itโ€™s a powerful and unique love story. They had to go through this experience to get to the other side and there is so much beauty in the journey. Itโ€™s not conventional and thatโ€™s what I love. Push the boundaries. Defy the odds. Make me feel things Iโ€™ve never felt before. Thatโ€™s what moves me and Gravity did just that.

โ€œEverything in the moment with Alistair was so intense that it felt unstoppable. It wasnโ€™t just lust. It was so much more. It was need. It was fate. It was inevitable.โ€

โ€œWhen Iโ€™m with you, it doesnโ€™t hurt so much,โ€

Gravity by Sara Cate is a provocative and emotionally charged novel that explores the complex dynamics of grief, love, and temptation. Two years after the tragic plane crash that killed her sister and her boyfriend, Zara is confronted with an unexpected offer from Prestonโ€™s father, Alistair Wilde: live with him and his son, Nash, for three months as Nash's girlfriend, and receive a million dollars. What begins as a seemingly simple arrangement quickly becomes far more complicated as Zara navigates the intense, often dangerous chemistry between her and the two men, both of whom are grappling with their own deep emotional wounds. Set in the isolation of a remote house, Gravity explores themes of healing and desire as Zara is torn between her physical attraction to Nash and her emotional connection to Alistair, ultimately questioning what happens when love, grief, and forbidden boundaries collide. This gripping, heart-wrenching story will captivate readers with its raw emotional depth and complex characters.

Happy re-release day to Gravity! I loved this book so much! It was the second book I ever read by Sara Cate and the one that completely captured my heart! I could not get enough of this angsty and twisted forbidden love story!

One tragic accident changed the lives of three people. Zara lost her twin sister. Nash and Alistair lost their brother and son respectively. This story picks up two years after the crash. Nash is a mess and Alistair believes that Zara is the one who can pull him out of it. Alistair offers Zara one million dollars to be kind of a girlfriend to Nash and live with them on a remote island for three months.

This book wasnโ€™t just a love story, it deals with grief and how people cope after losing someone they love. Zara, Nash and Alistair all handled the loss differently, but Nash and Alistairโ€™s relationship became particularly strained. My heart broke for all three of them, and I donโ€™t think any of them expected the toxic love triangle that developed.

In addition to being really emotional, the story was so passionate. Nash and Zara tried to heal by taking their pain and aggression out on each other whereas her healing dynamic with Alistair was much softer. There were also some super spicy flying lessons and what can only be described as the best Christmas ever.

As soon as I finished, I immediately started Free Fall because I had to know what would happen next.

I was so engrossed in this book that hours would go by feeling like minutes.

THOUGHTS ๐Ÿ’ญ
๐Ÿš This book is spicy from the start. The spice was sometimes animalistic and raw, and other times was insatiable and sweet.
๐Ÿš I got Pretty Woman vibes from this book with its billionaire MMCs and exotic dancer FMC.
๐Ÿš The chemistry between Zara and Alistair and Zara and Nash is hot and wonderful in their own ways.
๐Ÿš Their shared trauma binds them and provides a level of understanding that others canโ€™t possibly โ€œget.โ€ There is history between them and I loved the flashbacks to help better understand these characters.
๐Ÿš The taboo, forbidden, guilty pull of Zara to both Nash and Alistair is hot as sin; I love an age gap, forbidden, billionaire romance and this fits the bill. ๐Ÿฅต

Thanks so much to Sara Cate and Sourcebooks Casablanca for the ARC of this book!

I read the first book in The Wilde Boys Series, Gravity by Sara Cate in one sitting! It was such a good book and enjoyed how it was fast paced, suspenseful and quite steamy.

Because of an accident that happened two years ago, Zara, Nash and Alistair are bonded together through tragedy. Not one of them knows how to more forward in their grief and healing. Desperate and stuck in his need for healing with his son Nash, Alistair offers Zara, one million dollars to come live with him and his son on a private island. Oh, did I mention they both are seriously handsome billionaires. What could go wrong???

Perfect for fans of age gap, forced proximity, taboo or forbidden romance. Gravity is emotional and kept me engaged until the very end. Sara Cate is always a solid choice for me and I throughly enjoyed this one. I will immediately be starting the next in the Wilde Boys series, Free Fall. The continued story of Nash.

This is a raw, emotional journey through grief, love, and healing. After a devastating plane crash takes Alistairโ€™s son, Nashโ€™s brother, and Zaraโ€™s sister, none of them are the same. Nash spirals, his life unraveling, while Alistair, desperate to help him, offers Zara a million dollars to stay on his island and support Nash. Caught between them, she finds herself in a complicated, steamy relationship with both, forced to make an impossible choice. Their path is messy, painful, and deeply emotional as they seek solace in one another. Itโ€™s a gripping read that will keep you hooked until the end.

I always was wondering WHY Sara named this book like that, and today I knowโ€ฆ I know that again, under the cover of forbidden love story she delivers something I didnโ€™t expect. Itโ€™s romance or rather love story, thatโ€™s very challenging.Thereโ€™s not so much suspense between the pages but the emotions and family drama are the leading roles over here.

One tragic event, 2 destroyed families, 3 lonely and very broken hearts. Thereโ€™re tons of angst thatโ€™s mixed with fire and passion, BUT Sara like a pro lead everything thru the pages. Two men, father and son that lost their way for each other. One girl who will became their gravity just to bring them back together again. I love spicy books, but I need to feel that author doesnโ€™t only want to shock readers, that at the end I will understand why these characters had to show passion in the way they are. THATโ€™s WHY Gravity hit all the right places. This book is really unique and beautifully written โ€ฆ even if forbidden I only felt itโ€™s created because LOVE, love that will brings them back to life again.

Gravity is my second book by Sara Cate. I enjoyed Gravity and thought the book did a good job depicting the various ways we process grief, but I wanted more character development. It seemed to me like there wasnโ€™t enough information or relationship development between any of three characters to make a choice between the two MMCs. I kept wondering why it wasnโ€™t just a very complex and pretty taboo why choose story. The spice was spicing though!

Gravity was so good. I loved Alistar so much. He was so kind and caring and protective. Nash and Zara were both so broken and full of pain but I loved their journey. The spice was hot and the story was full of emotions. I enjoyed this story a lot. It was amazing, easy to read, and full of angst. The ending was perfect and made me so happy.
