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.

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

I love every one of them.

AUTHOR: Harley Laroux
PUB DATE: 9/30/22, self-published
PAGES: 594
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐✨
SPICE: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
GENRE: Dark Romance
REVIEW: Although not required, it is strongly recommended to read the novella, The Dare, prior to reading Losers. This book is First Person, Multi POV. This is a dark romance/taboo story. If you are not into that sort of thing, then this series may not be for you. I was so anxious to learn more of the story of Jessica (the blonde, young 20s bombshell who has been given everything to her on a silver platter since birth). She was a bully in high school, running with the jock crowd & always bullying the rejects/losers for no reason other than to appease those in her circle that didn't like the way they looked. Losers (Pt. 1) begins a few years after The Dare novella. Jessica runs into her high school group of rejects, (Mason, Lucas, Jason & Vincent), after returning home to her parents from NY for the Summer. She & the boys all shared a brief history that night several years ago, and are connected by that one, post-high school Halloween party, where dares are divvied out to Jessica by Mason in the group. A few years later, Jess has returned to her hometown and is faced with each of them again - the guys all living together under one roof as one family. A connection (& revelation) transpires between each of them, and a bond unlike anything Jess or the boys have experienced grows. There is a lot of spice in this so know that going in. I loved getting to know the individual background of the boys and of Jess, and how, over time, they genuinely cared for one another. Not only do they have solid feelings for each other, there is undeniable, genuine love. Again, there is lots of spice and lots of sharing, hence – taboo. As always, please be sure to read trigger warnings that are laid out by the author at the very beginning of the book. I’m very much looking forward to reading Pt 2 of this series! It’s highly rated on Goodreads for a reason!
Happy Reading!
