I don’t have much to say since this is a dark erotic novella so it’s short but despite it, I enjoyed it extremely. I never read a book from Harley Laroux, so I went into this book blind and holy shit was it good. Despite it being short, you couldn’t stop turning the page to see what else would happen. Thanks to tikok I got some glimpses of things but no context so when tiktok said clowns I got confused but fuck man. I haven’t read some good erotica in some time and this book made me a fan of Harley Laroux that’s for sure.

*whispers* Yes, I liked it a lot. No, I’m not proud of it. Yes, I probably need my head checked. No, I’m not going to miss out on reading the rest of the series. 

What else can I say 🤷🏻‍♀️ it’s short, spicy and seriously questionable smut buuut I knew that going in and didn’t let it stop me. I don’t regret ignoring all the red flags and trigger warnings, except for the clowns. I’m with Jess, that shit is scary.

I read The Dare around the same time last year and immediately went in to the next two books. This story is so good. Popular cheerleader meats loser bad boy. But Manson and his friends are hiding behind the dark and bad persona. I love Jessica's a weakening and I love the progression of their relationships. It's so so good.
