Synopsis
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.

Review
The Anti Hero had everything I’ve come to expect from Sara Cate, including a sex club!
I loved the characters in this, Adam and Sage had a ton of chemistry, and I loved the journey they both went on, especially Adam. The Anti Hero was a book about being loud and proud of who you are and what you like, and I really respect that. I also liked that this book wasn’t about bashing religion but rather the hypocrisy we often see in it. The one thing that felt a little off to me was Sage’s revenge plot. That didn’t seem to go anywhere, and I didn’t see what she would get out of this.
Despite the sex club aspects, this book started with the Salacious Player Club series, which reminded me more of Beautiful Sinner. Obviously, because of the religious element, but also with the struggles the characters went through.
I enjoyed this book and can’t wait to see what else the Goode Brothers have in store.
