It must be horrible to feel so afraid,” he says calmly, rubbing his thumb over my tears until he’s rubbed them into his skin. “To feel so powerless,” he adds, taking a heavy step forward and meeting my gaze. the losing of her v scene🫣. After all of that I would recommend this book if you like romantic suspense, dark romances, or psychological thrillers. The stark contrast between Dare's occasional gentleness and selfish generosity and his underlying brutality that waited impatiently to come out and play had a very nice edge to it. 🤌🏻

Aubrey and Dare's relationship is going to make a lot of people uncomfortable. It is not healthy. In fact, it's toxic as hell. There is no balance of power. Dare has it, and Aubrey does not. THE EMBARRASSING PART OF THIS REVIEW IS SADLY OVER. The time has come to roast this heroine, currently heating the oven to 425°F I don’t like that Hannah brings out this resistant side of you. Every time she’s around, you pull away from me, and I don’t know why. I know if she were a man, I would assume she’s competition and I would treat her accordingly.” He places a gentle kiss against my cheek, at odds with his words. “Should I expand my view a bit, hm? Should I consider her my competition?” Until Dare moves the world beneath my feet, and even though I’m afraid to trust it—to trust him—boy, am I tempted.I don't even quite understand how I enjoyed the story as much as I did, because it's not something that would always appeal to me. I have come to the conclusion that I have no choice but to credit the author's talent. This group is a safe environment, where readers c Welcome to Some Like It Hot!, a group for those of us who love to read and write romantic fiction.

You breathe, you eat, you have a rape kit done just in case but you don't make a report ( Dare merely didn't want Aubrey to be torn apart in a court room. 🥺🥺🥺 I swear this guy always kept in mind what was in Aubrey's best interest 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻), you don't let any other man touch you, and you have a bright future laid bare ahead of you... Because Dare is ALSO a psycho😬, hence why they get along so well and why their relationship works😅 (that and Anae allows him to f other girls😑, so whatevs😒). As if things aren’t too bad for her, Vince sees her too, and Mia, afraid of her life, runs inside her house and drops her phone on the way. The next day, when Zoey goes out to look for her phone, she finds it gone.Rather than classifying the story as dark, I'd describe it with adjectives like disturbing, arresting, memorable, evocative. Sam Mariano has been writing stories for as long as she can remember. She lives in Ohio and has a sweet and wonderful daughter.

Sam likes writing edgy and twisty romance stories featuring complicated characters. When not writing, you can find her reading one of the numerous books on her to-read list. She is a self-publisher, and one thing she likes about it’s the freedom to play by your own rules. Despite that, Aubrey is far from miserable. I wouldn't have had as good of a time with this story if that was the case. It was fun to explore the dynamic between a psychopath and the woman that loves him. In real life, this would be a horror story, but since it's not, we're free to enjoy the insanity! But instead of putting up a little fight or at least filing a police report for the sexual assault, this girl softly kissed the hand that was effectively muffling her pleas to stop? Dare's softer side🥰- we see this a lot in the beginning when he's getting to know Aubrey. I love what he does for her (iykyk) I think those who like paying attention to detail, piecing together what is said and done with what is implied will find this book interesting.Well, that's Dare. He pretended like he was joking, but no one with a few brain cells to spare had been fooled by his nonchalance. He totally wasn't. 😍 I laughed anyway.😍 If anybody wants to know why I read Sam Mariano's work, Even if it Hurts is a prime example. It's unique, well written, intriguing, perfectly paced, hot, and twisted af. In other words, it's pure perfection, and I loved every single second of it!
