The Good Girl Effect

Salacious Legacy, Book 1

De: Sara Cate

Narrado por: Jason Clarke, Meg Sylvan, Brandon Francis, CJ Bloom, Samantha Brentmoor

Jack St. Claire is desperate. A grieving single father, he buries himself in his work—running a brand-new kink club in Paris. Instead of handling his grief, he’s built a fortress around his heart, and it’s time he hired someone to help him take care of his daughter before things get worse.

Camille Aubert wasn’t looking for a new job. She just wanted to return a lost love letter she’d found within the pages of a book. But when she’s mistaken for a job candidate and hired as Jack’s live-in nanny, something tells her this is exactly where she needs to be.

Shortly after arriving, Camille discovers a strange room in the apartment that sparks her curiosity—and hints at a dark, mysterious side to Jack that she’s desperate to uncover. The lines between professional and personal blur dangerously as the heat between them becomes impossible to ignore. She’s drawn to the broken man who hides his grief in ropes and bondage, and she challenges him in ways he never thought possible.

Caught between her growing feelings for Jack and the ghosts of his past, Camille must decide: can love heal a heart still grieving, or will their passion destroy them both?

Oh Sweet Baby Jesus

Jason Clark. That is all. His voice is just so perfect. He's making my expectations high. If my future husbands voice isn't drop and raspy like Jason's I don't want it.

Love love love.

Adored this book. Cannot wait for more from this series. I was sucked in very quickly and very invested in the outcome.

Duel narration makes me so happy

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sara Cate has done it again-The Good Girl Effect is everything I hoped for and more. I'm absolutely obsessed with this book, just like every single one of her others. She never misses.

If you love:
✨ Single dad
✨ Off-limits romance
✨ Boss/nanny dynamic
✨ A perfectly grumpy MMC
✨ Steamy lessons
✨ A swoony HEA

...then this story will completely own your heart.

The chemistry between the characters was electric, the emotional tension was beautifully written, and the way Sara builds their relationship had me glued to the page from start to finish. It's the kind of book you think about long after you've finished it.

This was such an amazing addition to the Legacy series, and honestly one of my favorites so far. Sara Cate continues to prove why she's an auto-buy author for me-I know I'm going to get romance that's passionate, angsty, heartfelt, and unforgettable.

I especially love the audio, this book just hits on so many levels!

Highly, highly recommend. 💕

It’s all about taking a chance.

I finished this one a couple of days ago and have been trying to formulate words for my review. This was different from the salacious players club in a sense because of the dynamics between the characters. Though different it was still fantastic. Jack such a grumpy lonely man who was struggling with the grief from his wife’s passing. Camille a lost woman herself managing her own grief and finding purpose in her life meet by chance. Id love to think this was their loved ones doing forcing them to do things they never would do.
Jack struggled throughout his story and it was very sad to watch the impact his unresolved grief had on so many people and factors in his life. Camille didn’t know this man at all but on a whim met him and his amazing bea and truly fixed the gaping whole in this family. She was a very strong willed person to face the grump day in and day out breaking down walls.
It was so fun to see some familiar SPC faces again and their children. I’m very interested in the rest of this series.

Loved the story but not the narrators

I loved the story itself. Sara Cate never disappoints! My biggest issue though was the narrators. I have no problems with duel narrators; I like when a male narrator reads male chapters and female narrators read female chapters. What I don’t like is the random male voice or random female voice that gets thrown into the opposite’s chapters from a different voice. It always threw me off and in my opinion ruined the illusion of the story (at least for me obviously some people like it). I also don’t really like when the narrators get a little too animated during certain explicit scenes. I don’t need to hear the narrator groaning or moaning along. My imagination can do that for me. Other than those 2 things, I really enjoyed this book!
