Dark and twisted. Perfect portrayal of a morally black villain who knows what he wants and goes after it. At first the red flags are gentle and ‘typical’ of such types of characters but slowly then suddenly they build. His calmness is the most terrifying. Loved every moment of this messed up ride of a book

I don’t think this book will ever be nothing, but five stars for me. I love the story I love how toxic Dare is.

If you have some hesitations about reading this, then please read the trigger warnings.

I wouldn’t really converse like love, but I do think that Dare has a different interpretation of what loving someone as a partner is and that’s what he does with Aubrey.

I might even call it Stockholm syndrome on her side, but I did thoroughly enjoyed again!

Even If it Hurts is the first book in Sam Mariano’s new Coastal Elite series. Dark romance at its finest. Still, Dare can’t beat Carter for me (from Untouchable).  Sorry, Dare.

I went into this book not knowing what to expect besides it being dark and having non-con.

I came out on the other side just thinking that I thought Carter was horrible and yet so good. 

This one just takes the cake. I do you wanna know at the prom what he took a picture of Hannah for, because knowing him it’s gonna be horrible.

But I’m glad he got his HEA with his reluctant Queen! I still think his crazy ex-girlfriend should’ve had time, as in jail time. 

Because I don’t think Hannah deserves suffering with her again. But hopefully we will see her in the next few books, to see what’s happening!

Another bonus for me was I’m glad that the heroine‘s mother finally got the treatment she need it!
