Dare Me by Summer O'Toole
5.0

*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Dare Me releases on 1/5*

I will require 3-5 business months to recover from the ending of this series.

I don't typically go for the friends to lovers trope but this book has convinced me to change that. Stella and Lochlan were the perfect couple to end the Fox families series on. They gave us all the warm lovey feels while also delivering some delicious dirty talk. Every time I'd get to a chapter in Lochlan's pov I would be swinging my feet in the air, giggling. He has it BAD for Stella and
I ATE IT UP.

But, nothing made my heart happier than reading about their family trip in the epilogue, what started out as a broken band of brothers turned into such a full and beautiful family. The series may be over now but I'll for sure be adding it into my reread rotation, 'll never get over the Fox family

Tropes/highlights:
-reverse age gap (8 yrs)
-golden retriever mmc x black cat fmc
-friends to lovers
-murder mystery
-organized crime
-breeding kink
-a dash of primal play (lol)
-sex clurb (mentioned, not much on page happenings)
