Blurb: A psychopath and his prey. A dangerous, toxic, and utterly destructive love story… He could have been my hero. He saved my life that night, a beautiful dark angel slicing through my fear and the water, dragging me from its deadly clutches. He should have been my hero. I thought maybe he was. Villains aren’t supposed to win, and good should always conquer evil, but in the elite coastal town I live in, the only purpose a label has is letting you know what something—or someone—costs. Good, bad; it’s all relative, and it hardly matters. Baymont, California, is a land of beautiful villains and happy-ever-afters that are just out of reach. Especially for me. Until Dare moves the world beneath my feet, and even though I’m afraid to trust it—to trust him—boy, am I tempted. In more ways than one. Being with Dare is scary, but being without him is impossible. He makes it impossible. Dare’s no hero, that much is clear, but maybe… Maybe he’s mine. This story contains triggers and is intended only for a mature, adult audience. See the opening author’s note for more explicit warnings, but know this is a very dangerous relationship with a very dark hero.
Renee’s Five Star Review
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.
If you like your hero’s one the dark side then Dare is the man for you!! If you would love to see the dark man in a very dangerous relationship then Even If It Hurts is the book for you. Stop what you are doing and go grab it now. I can’t promise you that you are going to always love Dare and he might scare you, yes you the reader. He made me a nervous wreck and had my on the edge of my seat a lot of the time. I don’t even know how you review this book and not give something away. It is the story of Audrey and Dare. Audrey is in school and she from the very beginning is a target. There is a dare going around that she should be broken down and spat out. This is a girl who is very much isolated. She has not friends, her life is bad and she works all the time. So if she isn’t doing school work then she is working and what every little time she gets off is spent with her mother.
Dare is the King of the school and is just gosh if I say he was a good person that is a lie. I can’t say that he is a gentle kind of fellow either. That would be a lie. He is not rough around the edges, he is rough all over. He is possessive, super demanding, and very toxic. He has many minions around the school to do his bidding and the guy as I said is the king of the school. He says jump and people say how high. When Dare and Audrey meet, she sees someone who can change he world and she is well aware of the rumors about him and she doesn’t care. Where Dare is concerned she has her blinders in place and no one can move those blinders so she can see him for who he really is. But Dare has this way of making Audrey feel really special and she has never in her life felt like that. He has this way about him and when things are going good he sabotages it all and you wanna so sock him in the face. You just have to read to find out what exactly the story is a bout. I don’t wan to give anything away. I really loved reading this s tory. If you like them super dark and messed up then you are going to love Dare in Even If It Hurts.
