In this episode of the She Reads Romance Books Podcast, I chat with bestselling author Sara Cate about her brand-new romance, The Good Girl Effect, which launches her much-anticipated Salacious Legacy series.

In this episode, we dive into:

• Why Jack will be your next favorite book boyfriend
• The kink explored in the story (and why it works so perfectly)
• Why Sara loves writing taboo and forbidden romance
• Her mission to empower women to own their sexuality… and so much more!

If you’re ready for a behind-the-scenes look at Sara’s latest release (especially if you are a fan of her Salacious Players Club series!), this is an episode you won’t want to miss.
