Even If It Hurts by Sam Mariano
5.0
Devilishly delicious darkness
On par with Rina Kent and Linnea May; Sam Mariano's darkness is devilishly delicious.
DO read the trigger warnings. DO take them seriously. As Sam states, this is "NOT ONE FOR THE SAFETY SQUAD".
She isn't lying.
There is stuff in this book that would give your Grandma an arrhythmia and make your dead aunt Doris roll in her grave. Morally grey seems like an understatement regarding the things discussed in this book - morally bankrupt would be more accurate.
Aubrey was such a gentle, naive and innocent soul.
Dare...well, he was who he was.
You won't find a redeemable, misunderstood character in Dare. He is dangerous, brutal, controlling, and unapologetic about all of it.
He reeled her in, roughed her up, corrupted and stained her - all while giving zero effs and with zero remorse - yet, I couldn't get enough!
I absolutely devoured this book. And I WANT MORE.
Am I going to continue to read this series? Yes.
Am I going to recommend this book to my dark-romance-loving friends? Also, yes.
Am I going to question why I am lured in by the sociopaths in some of the books I read? Nope. Not a chance. I'm not willing to analyse what that says about me.
At the end of the day, I absolutely adored this book and it deserves all the stars.
