Rating a 4/5 just because of the fact I’m terrified of clowns — BUT I PUSHED THROUGH FOR THIS AMAZING PREQUEL

Short, quick and leaves you wanting more. Just check the warnings before reading, because this thing excalates quickly. The only reason it didn't get a higher rating is that it's too short to fit a little more plot. Together with the Losers Duet they're a 5 star read all the way through.

Title: The Dare
Author: Harley Laroux
Series: Losers 0.5
Rating: ☆☆☆☆☆ 

"Little angels need to learn not to touch themselves without permission, don't they?"
-Manson 

Jessica Martin is the cheerleader captain at her high school and is miss popular. She's everything you would expect the Queen bee to be like except she's got a huge secret. 

Manson Reed is the leader of the outcast group in his high school. His life sucks, his dad is abusive and his mom wasted away. Manson wasn't liked by anyone in high school but now that schools out and after moving in with his school counselo, he's tolerated. 

One night Jess Martin decides to go to a party with her friend Ashley when she ends up bumping into Manson at the party. They decide they will play truth or dare beer pong. Manson knows Jess wants more out of life, but also knows Jess isn't going to admit it, so he uses beer pong to get her to do the things she's scared to do on her own. Before Jess knows it, Manson has won at beer pong and she's dared to be his slave for the night. She knows she could say no and walk away but deep down, she wants this, she needs it. So she says yes and is Mansons slave for the night. Manson gets her to submit to him and she has the best night of her life. But when the morning comes, she decides it was all for one night only and disappears from Wickeston and leaves for college, leaving Manson and what she needs behind in Wickeston. 

This novella was so good. I was so disappointed when it was over. I just had to know more, needed to know more. I'm so glad Harley decided to write the losers duo so that we could have a deeper look into Jess and the guys life before and after high school. So if you loved this novella, go read Losers: Part 1 and Losers: Part 2. You're in for one wild ride!!

4 Kiss My Boot Stars ⭐
Spicy Level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️/5

You know how hard it was to find this book because it's banned on Amazon. So that should tell you exactly what kind of book it is.

You know when you want something that is basically just smut, this is the perfect little quick read. I love this and found this utterly delightful. It was satisfying, left me hooked enough to want to start the main Novel and it was also utterly toe-curling and pleasurable if you get my meaning...

This story follows Jessica Martin, who was a "little miss popular in school", which obviously means that she was a bitch. She was also a MEGA bitch to Mason Reid. A couple of years later our Prom Queen finds herself at a Halloween party with the said Mr Reid and loses an interesting little game of beer pong that ends with her being his slave for a night. Mason, finds this circumstance extremely refreshing as he has a chance to make his little Miss Perfect just as embarrassed and humiliated as she did to him all those years ago.

Something that I absolutely love about Harley Laroux's books is even though they push the boundary sexually; she is very, very particular about ensuring that the entire thing happening is always consensual. In every book that I have read by her, the men have been pretty stern in making sure that if the woman wants to "tap out" at any point in time or if she doesn't like what's happening, she's in control. So as much as there are aspects of humiliation and degradation, Jess allows this and is not against it.

The reason this is not a full 5 stars is there were parts of this that I thought were incredibly uncomfortable as well as aspects that had me rolling my eyes. I think being a novella made it a little hard to form a connection fully with Jess so I couldn't fully understand why she was allowing this all to happen. IRL me in the same situation would have been screaming OH HELL NO and getting the eff out of dodge!

BUT this does make me super excited to start Losers where I hope to get a little more into her mind as well as see all the kinky stuff those boys are going to do with her... if this was just a small taste of what that book has in store...

Highly recommend this is fast-paced, sexy, enjoyable, perfect little book if you want smut and no plot.
