Being a young single dad and running his tattoo shop doesn’t leave much time for Kass to have a love life. But he uses the time he does find for himself to explore his wild side, trying his best to forget about Daisy, the one that got away. He spent years pining over the mother of his child, until she tragically passed two years ago. Now he’ll try anything to numb the pain of losing her. No one has ever come close to capturing his attention the way Daisy had…until B.
B (Blake) has always been wild and free, choosing to be chronically single. She gets her thrills through one night stands, making it easier to feel safe-guarded in the fortress she built around her heart. No one gets in, and no feelings get out. When she first meets Kass, she marks him as her next sexual conquest, not anticipating what would happen when she finally gets a taste of what he has to offer.
What started as harmless flirting during her tattoo appointment with Kass leads to more. When B tries to cut him off after, she finds herself falling victim to his persistent efforts, something she usually dodges with ease. To prove to her friends and to herself that she doesn’t think of him as anything more than a fun hook up, she asks her roommate, Fia, to join them in the bedroom. B and Fia, being cut from the same cloth, have been friends with benefits ever since Fia moved in. Unfortunately, the plan that was supposed to help prove her point ends up backfiring.
Alright, hands down my favorite of the series! I DEVOURED this book (much like B and Kass devour each other)! This book was a perfect continuation of the series of love stories amongst a fabulous group of people, and I enjoyed every minute spent with the characters. B’s story of fighting independence and connection and accepting he own definition of a relationship was powerful, meaningful…. And HOT. Thanks to the author for letting me check this book out early!
Another hit from Emma! Hard to say which in the series is my favorite but this certainly makes a run for it, personally loved the depth and interactions between the characters. Not ready to say goodbye to these characters!
Please Think of Me is the fourth book in the Please Me series—and yes, I read all four books this month! This series is made up of interconnected standalones that follow a close-knit group of friends, siblings, and their love stories. While each book can be read on its own, I highly recommend starting from the beginning to experience the full story and all the easter eggs, Emma leaves! Watching these characters grow and seeing familiar faces throughout the series makes the experience even more rewarding.
I'll admit that themes like recreational *rug use and polyamory aren't ones I typically read or have really read at all, pushed me outside my comfort zone. Which of course was Emma’s plan all along! Stepping outside my usual reading preferences ended up being one of the most rewarding parts of this book. It's one of the things I love most about the book community: discovering stories, authors, and perspectives I may never have picked up otherwise.
We've known B (Blake) since Book One, where she immediately stole my heart as Lou's sassy, confident, alternative younger sister. In Book Two, we watched her fiercely support her best friend, Iris. Now it's finally B's turn to take center stage.
B wants nothing to do with traditional relationships, determined to live life on her own terms. Then along comes Kass—a ridiculously attractive single dad and tattoo artist—who shares one unforgettable night with B and her friend, Fia. While B is determined to keep her distance emotionally, Kass quickly finds himself completely captivated by her. Watching these characters navigate love, identity, and connection in ways that challenge conventional expectations made for such a compelling journey. And then there's Clover...Clover stole the show for me!!
Emma continues to create wonderfully layered, multifaceted characters who feel real and beautifully imperfect. That's one of the things I appreciate most about her writing. I also appreciated what felt like an authentic and respectful portrayal of a polyamorous relationship. While I don't have firsthand experience myself, it reflected conversations I've had with friends in polyamorous relationships and felt genuine, thoughtful, and free of stereotypes.
Please Think of Me is another reminder that some of the best books are the ones that encourage us to step outside our comfort zones. Emma once again delivers a heartfelt, emotionally rich story that expands what a romance can look like while never losing sight of the characters at its center.
Thank you to my fellow Minnesotan, purple-haired friend (RIP to my purple hair! 💜), for trusting me with an ARC and for inviting me into these incredible characters, your world, and a little piece of your heart. It's been such a joy getting to experience this series.
If you’re looking for a spicy, lust to lovers, single dad, tough FMC, with rope play and he falls first energy you definitely need to check out Please Think of Me! This is book 4 in the Please Me series but can be read as a standalone. This was my first book to read in this series and I did not feel lost at all.
We meet B, a tough 24 year old FMC who is living life large and loving it! So what if her friends are a little worried she pushes everyone away before feelings can set in? She has her best friend Iris, her roommate/occasional lover/friend Fia, her older sister Lou and a job she loves. She’s confident and knows exactly what she wants. And what she wants is her new tattoo artist, Kass.
Kass is a single dad with a past, and a penchant for falling for women who have no intention of being caught. So when B strides in with her give no fucks attitude, lavender hair, and not so subtle hints at wanting to get in his pants, he knew he was doomed from the start. But can he show B sometimes there might be more to life than a passing fling?
I loved watching B and Kass’s journey throughout this story. B had great character development that felt well paced and Pathy did such an excellent job repping “unconventional” relationships that are not typically seen in contemporary romances. It felt realistic, raw, and believable. The spice hooked me from the start but the heartfelt plot had me crying by the end! If this sounds like your type of romance, I highly recommend!
ARC REVIEW: So honored to have been chosen to receive an ARC for Please Think of Me by Emma Pathy! Please Think of Me is the 4th in the series and where B gets her chance at romance. B has been staying safe at the shallow end of the emotional intimacy pool with her flatmate Fia. But when she meets Kass, she’s forced to confront (by every single one of her friends, her sister, and a very persistent, nearly as bullheaded Kass…) a depth of emotion she has been suppressing since her very first heartbreak. Kass also attempts, and spectacularly fails, to find balance between a healthy relationship with and obsession for the first woman he has real feelings for since Daisy, the one that got away and the mother of his child. The two are so tied up in each other (*wink wink) that B feels comfortable enough to connect with herself and work through some of the knots (ha!) that have been keeping her and Kass apart. Overall, an enjoyable read and if you’re already a fan of Emma’s or contemporary romance with a bit of spice, I think you’ll enjoy Please Think of Me. #romance #lgbtq+ #polyamory #hefallsfirst #MFF
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
When I read a romance novel, I’m usually drawn to a handful of specific tropes. This book didn’t include any of those and yet I ended up enjoying it because it felt so different.
I’ll admit that about 75 pages in, I was questioning whether I wanted to continue. Elements like recreational drug use and polyamory aren’t themes I’ve encountered much (really at all) in romance, so it initially felt outside my comfort zone. However, I’m glad I kept reading because of the heart in this story. In the end it was refreshing to step outside my usual reading preferences and experience something new.
The characters felt real, raw, and authentic. Kass was my favorite. His patience, acceptance, and the way he parented Clover made him incredibly easy to root for. I also enjoyed B’s confidence and personal growth throughout the story. Fia was a great foil to them both. The banter was sweet, and I felt the emotional connection between the characters.
Overall, I’m glad I stuck with this book, and it left me interested in continuing with the rest of the series.
3.5 stars
Thank you to the author for providing an advanced copy. All opinions are my own.
Please Think of Me is the fourth book in the Please Me series - a collection of interconnected standalones following a group of friends/siblings and their love interests.
We meet our FMC, B, back in book one and fall in love with her as the sassy, confident, alternative little sister to Lou. We stand shoulder to shoulder with her cheering on her best friend Iris in book two. Now it’s B’s turn to take center stage.
B is against everything and anything that comes with traditional relationships - enter Kass. Our hot tattoo artist, single dad MMC who spends one night with B (and her friend Fia) and ‼️Cue the YEARNING‼️ Kass is head over heels obsessed with this woman, who is having none of it. Or is she?
I love the journey these characters go on. Emma writes really multifaceted characters that I SO appreciate. I also love, what felt like, an authentic representation of a polyamorous relationship. While I don’t have that first hand experience, observing my friends who have those relationships, it felt true to them.
TROPES 💛 Single dad MMC 💜 Bisexual FMC 💛 Sapphic FWB 💜 Rope play 💛 Lust to Lovers 💜 Grief/healing
An Exceptional, Deeply Satisfying Addition to the Series
As a fan who has read all three previous books in the Please Me series, I had high expectations, and Please Think Of Me absolutely delivers—it might even be my favorite yet.
Emma Pathy masterfully balances scorching-hot chemistry with genuine emotional depth. The characters are beautifully complex, guarded, and fiercely independent. Watching them navigate their boundaries, challenge one another, and slowly lower their defenses is incredibly rewarding. The intimate scenes are intense and highly passionate, but they always serve to deepen the trust and connection between them.
This is a beautifully written, non-traditional love story that tackles vulnerability, healing, and unconventional relationships with remarkable care. It is a perfect blend of sharp banter, intense tension, and emotional growth. If you loved the previous books, you will not want to miss this outstanding installment. Don’t miss out!
This book wasn't exactly my cup of tea. I don't normally lean towards books with recreational drug use or polyamory, BUT, THAT BEING SAID (!!!)....this book was really good.
It made me glad that I chose to read the books and I'd absolutely recommend this book to readers that i know that are seeking this kind of book,
The depth of the characters was beautiful. It really felt like I was reading what real people deal with. Everything in this book felt like it could have been someone's friend the author was writing about, they were handled with such care.
The writing style was amazing. Emma's writing drew me in and didn't let me go. I will have to go and read more from her.
Overall: recommend Spice: open door (lots and lots of open door)
Please Think Of Me is the fourth book in the Please Me series. This book follows B, who we got glimpses of in the previous books. Kass is the MMC, a tattoo artist single dad bad boy type. Both have dealt with heartbreak and loss. Will B be able to move past her loss and learn to love in a different way again? I enjoyed how emotionally available Kass was, able to cry and work through his emotions when B wasn’t quite ready to.
It was beautifully written, so many relatable situations and characters. I loved how inclusive it was. I learned about the different types of relationships people can have. The book pulled me in right away, I didn’t want to put it down.

The 4th book in Emma Pathy’s “Please Me” series is finally here and it delivers everything I could’ve hoped for and more! Fans of this series and the characters will be pleasantly surprised by B’s story. Even as a more minor character from the other books, B quickly became one of my favorites with her witty remarks and perfectly executed sarcasm. As the main character of “Please Think of Me”, she truly shines! The flirty dialogue between B and Kass constantly had me giggling out loud and the spice - some of my favorite I’ve ever read! It’s all wrapped up in a beautiful story that emphasizes the importance of trust and allowing yourself to be truly loved. Thank you Emma for giving B her chance to shine!
I received an eARC of this book in exchange for an honest review
This is the first book I’ve read by Emma Pathy and I was not disappointed! I am a HUGE romance girl and sometimes that’s start to feel very cookie cutter, but Emma managed to make this book feel so different and fresh! I loved B as a badass take no shit FMC who is comfortable with herself, her sexuality, and her beauty! She holds her head high and stands her ground no matter what which was so refreshing. Additionally, the romance on this story felt very tasteful while being very spicy and exciting. I thought their relationship was extremely mature and their struggles felt real which was something I loved about this book. The MMC was equally awesome and I truly loved him and just wanted him to be happy. Overall a solid book and I will definitely be reading the rest of the series!
Book four of the Please Me series took me by surprise. After reading the first three books in the series, I was anxious to continue to see what was happening with my favorite characters. To be honest, at first, I wasn’t sure if this book was for me and almost put it down. It wasn’t my typical read and the character B (Blake) was someone who would have intimidated me in real life. But my curiosity kept me reading and I soon fell in love with the relationship between B, Kass, and Kass’ daughter Clover. And I realized that love doesn’t always look how you expect it to. I’m a little sad that the series is over. I hope Emma Pathy gives us an update on the characters soon!
Emma Pathy’s Please Think of Me is the fourth book in the Please Me series. This was my first book that I have read by her as I was very lucky to receive an ARC and wanted to dive in straight away. While anyone can come into this book and understand what is going on as the author does an amazing job making sure the needed context is there in order to understand the story I still felt like something was missing or off. Do not get me wrong I 100% would recommend this book and I love the stories and the characters within in my reading experience I was just left with some gaps that I know would have been filled if I had not gone in to this story four books in.
I read this book in a day it had me sucked in and I enjoyed the relationship. The characters were fun and just like the rest of the series it was interesting and really well written. That being said it is sad in some parts because of the character development but its well worth it and such a good read. The ending was also good I did enjoy the LGBT and poly relationship that is portrayed especially since it can relate to many more readers.
Please Think Of Me Release Date: July 1st, 2026 Thank you Emma for the advanced reader copy 🫶🏼
I really liked this book and I’m excited to go back and read the rest of the series! These characters felt so raw and authentic! Each of the characters is so unique and I loved their love story! This story was refreshing and I had a blast reading it!
🏷️ ARC Review | Emma Pathy | Please Think Of Me | Please Me | Bookstagram
Where to even begin?! I loved this series so much and now know THIS is my favorite! I especially loved alllllll the emotions I felt reading and found it hard to put down. I devoured it in 2 days. Any more characters we can pull out for more books in the series? Yes, please!! Looking forward to seeing where this indie author ends up. Her debut series has been so much fun to read.
I really enjoyed this book! I love how inclusive every part of this book was and that it wasn’t your typical timeline of events. The inclusion of all sexualities and relationship types are represented in this book and that made my soul happy. This book felt different to me and I loved that! This was everything I needed right now.
Another beautiful story from Emma Pathy! It was fun to continue to follow this friend group through an new set of eyes. The storyline pulled me outside of my traditional reading preferences, and provided prospective new to me. This is another example of how Emma is able to gracefully intertwine romance with a deeper message. Definitely a great read!
Thank you to the author for the ARC! I really enjoyed this one. The banter and spice between B and Kass is soooo good, and their romance? Spicy! 🔥 I thought Clover added a cute touch to the story. Overall, I really enjoyed it and would recommend.
I devoured this book in one night! A delightful and heartfelt story filled with banter, tension, and k!nk. The characters were complex and realistic, and I would definitely recommend Emma Pathy's work to anyone who loves contemporary romance.
This is the first book I've read by Emma (even though I own the first three) and let me just say that Emma knows how to write emotion. The ups and downs the characters faced I felt like I was right there. I absolutely love this book and will be moving Emma's other three books to the top of my TBR.
The chemistry, the banter, the SPICE - this book absolutely flew by and I couldn’t put it down. Kass and B had me hooked from the very start. Emma Pathy does it again!!
I absolutely loved the characters. They were fun, charming, and had fantastic chemistry. Their banter was hilarious, and the growth in this story was both refreshing and heartfelt.
This book can be read as a standalone but after reading one of Emma’s books, you will want to read them all! Book info: ⬇️ Genre: romance Pub day: 7/1/26 Pages: 350 pages My review: This book is unlike any romance book I’ve ever read. B as a main character was so difficult at first but after learning more about her past, I started to like her and see the growth and challenges in her life. Kass, I truly liked his character from the beginning and his relationship with his spunky 8 year old daughter Clover. Read this if you like: •Single Dad •unconventional romance stories •angsty FMC •very steamy books •Tattoo shop owner MMC •self discovery and growth
I am a much slower eyeball reader because I rarely find myself able to sit down and read a book. Most of my reading is done through audiobooks.
Last month, I finished Please Think of Me, by my local indie author Emma Pathy. I attended her book launch, and it was such a funny conversation between Emma and Evi James. I own all her books, but this is the first one I have read. They can be read as standalone books.
Please Think of Me is a contemporary romance with emotional depth and lots of steamy scenes. It’s mainly a romance between B and Kass, but there is a polyamorous relationship as well with B’s roommate, Fia. This book was well written, and now I need to read the other books in this series.
I recommend reading this series if you love supporting independent authors!
Finally, we get to hear B’s story! I’ve been eagerly waiting for this one. She’s honestly my favorite character, and I was not disappointed. It was an emotional rollercoaster, and I finished it in two days. The writing is so crisp and easy to follow, and the imagery is vivid, like a movie playing in my head. I’m happy for B and Kass. I just wish they had been exclusive with each other (with the occasional addition of Fia for certain activities). I don’t want them to be with anyone else. 😭
