Dangerous Liaisons with hs psychos. Dare may be Sam Mariano’s craziest hs boy yet. Ended a little abruptly. Aubrey’s life is in shambles and he came in like a dark angel and took total control. I hope Hannah gets her own story and Aubrey get’s to have her friend back.

Nope, still don’t like Dare

I read this story back in May as part of the Filthy Elites anthology and I wasn’t impressed with Dare then nor am I now.

I’d like to blame it on the fact that he was a villain, the villain, but I can’t. He just bored me. There were times where he was interesting and kept me hooked but as a whole, I don’t know, he was childish.

I gotta give it to Aubrey, you gotta do what you gotta do to survive. Her perceived weakness was her strength…most of the time.

Overall the story was in between okay and good. It wasn’t my favorite story by Sam Mariano, but it was entertaining.

Okay, its was honestly fine until she decided that keeping her boyfriend who raped her, kidnapped her and drugged her AND her mom AND that he threathend to rape her best friend was better than too lock him up with his psycho ex, but oh no, he still makes her feel so safe an secure so he deserves too be free and lets also let the girl that wanted him to rape her and then kill her be free and out of jail, like im sorry I love dark romance but I cant with weak main characters. Like it you look at the cat and mouse duology, I loved those bookes even tho zade isnt much better than Dare (jk my husband zade will always be better than that little dick andrew tste supporting bitch off a dare), I still loved those books, and why isnt that? Because my baby Adeline was soo mf strong.

I thought Calvin was lunatic but Dare is insane! So many quotes in this book that are epic… and Dare is absolutely sick in every one. I loved Hannah’s side character and hope she gets her book some day! Five huge stars!
