This book is 🔥🔥straight fire. Jess is all muddled up in a revenge/payment system poly relationship with the 4 "Losers" from high school. And she is to do whatever they say, whenever they say it. 

She should have just moved in. That would have been easier. But whatever. 

My only criticism is that it isn't high school anymore. These are college graduates/working age people. First there isn't much work going on for anyone. Second, it's very high school. Illegal drag races, bonfires and house parties, caring what your friends say about who you're seen with, sneaking around so your mom doesn't see your boyfriend? She's probably 22-ish. This is stuff for 16 year olds. It was really distracting. I'm like who tf cares what Danielle says about Manson. Just hop on that thing and ride it already. 

Other than that, I loved it. The guys are all great in their own ways. And I love how they all love each other. The sex was fire. Jess was not a nice person and does not deserve those screaming orgasms. But that's ok. Everyone deserves screaming orgasms I guess.

The audio was turrible. I quit in chapter 7 I think and bought the Kindle version. The male narrator was so bad.

I enjoyed this book a lot. It is dark, it is emotional and it is SEXY. I love the fact that everyone has somewhat of an arch with Jess and even Jess’ character develops so well. I am not a fan of bully romances but this one was done well. Not only was Jess (as the bully) remorseful about her actions, there were moments in the past when she was doing the bullying where she felt remorse and also when she showed kindness and empathy towards her victims. The way they each fell for Jess and Jess fell for them in return was so well done and written. I have a soft spot for Lucan and can’t wait to read the 2nd part.

Perfectly covers all the history and character development The Dare (prequel novella) was crying out for. I really loved this group of MCs, it’s reignited my interest in RH. I think the inclusion of more polyamory based dynamics added depth and connection, as well as the found family aspect. 

It’s a spicy as hell read, with lots of scenes which really push the boundaries of kink and BDSM. Although not all of it was to my personal taste, things are handled for the most part respectfully and realistically with a big emphasis on consent, communication and hard/soft limits.

The plot is for the most part irrelevant and at some points non-existent but the character development and romance building makes up for it, so you don’t feel the lack IMO.

The Dare must be read before this one. All the characters are introduced.

This is a roller coaster journey… the smut is heavy and clearly not for everyone. Please read the TW.

Jessica is a really strong FMC with a need of freedom that is well described in every way possible.

This is a reverse harem. 
Tortured Manson
Funny et free Vincent
Shy and sweet Jason
Scowl Jake
I love every one of them.
