You don’t have to be,” he says, gently laying his hand over my bare tummy. “It doesn’t bode well that you are already. I don’t like to think Anae was right, but maybe I am too dark for you.” He circles my belly button with the tip of his finger. “Unfortunately, I’ve already decided you’re mine, and you being afraid of me won’t change that.” Answer the questions (What is your age and two of your favorite dark books?) that accompany your request to join.

He saved my life that night, a beautiful dark angel slicing through my fear and the water, dragging me from its deadly clutches. He should have been my hero. I thought maybe he was. Villains aren’t supposed to win, and good should always conquer evil, but in the elite coastal town I live in, the only purpose a label has is letting you know what something–or someone–costs. Good, bad; it’s all relative, and it hardly matters. Baymont, California is a land of beautiful villains and happy-ever-afters that are just out of reach. Especially for me. Until Dare moves the world beneath my feet, and even though I’m afraid to trust it–to trust him–boy, am I tempted. In more ways than one. Being with Dare is scary, but being without him is impossible. He makes it impossible. Dare’s no hero, that much is clear, but maybe… Maybe he’s mine. This story contains triggers and is intended only for a mature, adult audience. See the opening author’s note for more explicit triggers, but know this is a very dangerous relationship with a very dark hero. Even if it Hurts (Coastal Elite Book 1) by Sam Mariano – eBook DetailsJust enjoy the ride for what it is, and don't place any expectations on it. Dare is such an interesting character. I couldn't get enough of him, and if nothing I've said thus far has put you off, you'll probably feel the same. If you love a hero who doesn't ask for permission, you've come to the right place. But if you love a hero who doesn't care enough to listen to the protests... you might've stumbled upon your second home.

condoms used and also not used - it is not discussed, but the h is aware and concerned, but is well aware she can’t make the H do anything he doesn’t want to do This book almost felt like the answer to the question, "What if the big bad wolf fell in love with Little Red Riding Hood?" Though it has many of the standard elements of a classic bully romance, there is just something about Dare's "platinum level" of psychopath that elevates this book beyond the genre. You feel like you are listening to a master class in villainy and manipulation the way in which Dare handles not only Hannah and Aubrey but all the people in his life. He always feels 10 moves ahead of every player on the board. Who can blame poor Hannah for falling for him? There are some TW ⚠️ for sensitive readers since the material is dark, but if you are someone who consistently reads dark romance, I believe you will enjoy this audiobook with ease.

Did these cruel words need to be said just because Dare slashed Aubrey's tires with a knife and framed his future ex-girlfriend by leaving her manicured fingernail (the one he had broken so casually not a day before😍) by Aubrey's car only to barge in and save the day later??👉🏻🥺👈🏻 The way Dare manipulates situations😈. Sure, it wasn't by honest means, but when he wants something to happen, he makes it happen🤷🏻‍♀️... slashing tires, using a nail gun on a person, breaking acrylic nails, drugging people (ahem... Aubrey lol), bribing Aubrey for a smexy picture, I mean, this guy will stop at nothing Dare putting a leash on his psychopathy to spare Aubrey's feelings and ensure she had no reason for being jealous was so chivalrous. But instead of putting up a little fight or at least filing a police report for the sexual assault, this girl softly kissed the hand that was effectively muffling her pleas to stop? Until Dare moves the world beneath my feet, and even though I’m afraid to trust it—to trust him—boy, am I tempted. In more ways than one. Being with Dare is scary, but being without him is impossible. He makes it impossible.

Villains aren’t supposed to win, and good should always conquer evil, but in the elite coastal town I live in, the only purpose a label has is letting you know what something— or someone—costs. Good, bad; it’s all relative, and it hardly matters. Baymont, California is a land of beautiful villains and happy-ever-afters that are just out of reach. Despite that, Aubrey is far from miserable. I wouldn't have had as good of a time with this story if that was the case. It was fun to explore the dynamic between a psychopath and the woman that loves him. In real life, this would be a horror story, but since it's not, we're free to enjoy the insanity!

The closest Mia ever wanted to be near Vince Morelli was, at most, a couple of rows away in the English class. They have never had the chance to talk, but Mia has heard a lot about his family. Dare immediately starts wooing Aubrey. I'll give Aubrey points- she doesn't want him near her💁🏻‍♀️. She knows who he is, who his girlfriend is, and she doesn't care for the drama. All she wants to do is finish her senior year so she can move on and spend whatever time she has left with her mom. She doesn't need this added angst. But Dare can't be told no...
