I have been looking for a books/series that gave me Fast & Furious vibes and this one certainly ticked all the boxes! Cause if you know me at all you know I’m obsessed with the movies, I rewatch all the time and cars are my biggest turn on! This is definitely darker and more kinkier but it still had the street racing, the hotted up cars and the found family closeness that I absolutely love! 

Okay so this one starts about 3 years after The Dare, which I highly recommend reading first! While all of them have sort of gone on with their lives, no one has forgotten that night. So when Jess has to move back home temporarily and she runs into the boys, all those feelings come rushing back. 

Jess was Manson, Lucas, Vincent and Jason’s bully in high school, she would torment them, along with her so called friends but what they don’t know, and what she’s been hiding secretly, is that she has always been drawn to them, they bring out her darkest fantasies and deepest feelings. 

When an incident occurs that causes her to really question who her real friends are and what she really wants/needs, it leads to a night of “punishment”. That brings back all those feelings from Halloween night and when the next day arrives none of them really want to go there separate ways. This then leads to a deal being made, they’ll help her with her current situation and she becomes their free use toy until they’ve fixed her problem. This deal opens her eyes to a world she never imagined she could be in and she loves every moment of it all!

Manson, Lucas, Vincent and Jason have my whole heart! I love them all so much, I honestly don’t have a favourite. I adore their relationships with each other. They are all together, which is so hot but I love that it’s not just about that, they’ve made themselves into family. Almost all of them have grown up with horrible, traumatic pasts but it’s bonded them together for life. 

I don’t think I realised how dirty this book was going to be but OMG I have never been so turned on 🥵 the sex scenes were so fucking hot! I never thought I was much into BDSM but after this, I think I have new kinks 🤣😏And this is barely scratching the surface on the spice, I know there’s still so much more to come and I can’t wait! And there’s just something about MM relationships that have me 🥵🥺 and not even the spice, just the way they are with each other has me swooning. 

I absolutely loved every moment of this book! It’s dark, it’s sweet, it’s funny, it’s emotional, it’s so kinky it’ll make you question yourself, and it’s got that hint of suspense/danger that I love! What more could you want!

What started as a deal has lead to real feelings for each other, that they’re all a little too scared to admit it to, but Jess was the missing piece to the puzzle that never knew was missing. I loved that it was multiple POV, that we got to really know them all and see them one on one outside of the spicy times. I’m curious and nervous to see how everything plays out!

Honestly I could go on and on about this book but I don’t want to spoil too much, going in kind of blind is the best way, though please check the trigger warnings! This is not for the faint of heart. 

I want to end this by saying that I have rewritten this review so many times, I can’t seem to put my thoughts into proper words, that actually make sense, about how much I truly loved this book! But if this tickles your fancy in way, then read it! You won’t be disappointed!
