The Dare

Harley Laroux2021
Jessica Martin is not a nice girl. As Prom Queen and Captain of the cheer squad, she'd ruled her school mercilessly, looking down her nose at everyone she deemed unworthy. The most unworthy of them all? The "freak," Manson Reed: her favorite victim. But a lot changes after high school. A freak like him never should have ended up at the same Halloween party as her. He never should have been able to beat her at a game of Drink or Dare. He never should have been able to humiliate her in front of everyone. Losing the game means taking the dare: a dare to serve Manson for the entire night as his slave. It's a dare that Jessica's pride - and curiosity - won't allow her to refuse. What ensues is a dark game of pleasure and pain, fear and desire. Is it only a game? Only revenge? Only a dare? Or is it something more? The activities depicted in this book are not meant to be realistic depictions of BDSM or safe kink play, this is strictly a work of fiction. These are the kinks within: erotic humiliation, fearplay, painplay, knifeplay, consensual non-consent (CNC), boot worship, spanking/impact play, clowns/clown costumes, spit, bondage, public play, group sex.

Is it unhinged? Controversial? A little over the top? Not everyone’s cup of tea? Yes, probably. Is Harley Laroux the queen of good smut? Also yes.

i've read this uhm... 4 times yeah........ it says a lot abt the content - "Manson Reed - weirdo, freakshow Manson Reed. He made me feel safe and terrified, protected and brutalized, all at once." - "I guess I'll have to keep teaching you then," he said, with an exaggerated sigh. "What a pain." I smiled sweetly, fluttering my fingers at him. "Bye, loser." He smirked, his tone a warning. "Jess..." He had to know what he was getting into. He could handle me, but that didn't mean I was going to make it easy."

I had no idea what to expect going into this novella but it was great. Short and to the point, it was spicy, it was sweet, it had great kink, and was just what I was looking for in a palate cleanser. I can’t wait to read the duology after this.

hands down the best porn ever. the tension, the talking, the scenes, the idea, the execution. wow, just wow. i love this book so much that it made my heart racing during the reading. the missing 0.5 was for the knife play, the wax play, and the ending. it could be better; it doesn't feel satisfying much. but overall, it's a good porn.

[3.75/5.00]

Read it in one sitting, at 2am. I don't really know how much more I should be able to say, it feels like it's setting something bigger up and I enjoyed reading it. Will I remember anything? Prooobably not, hence the mid rating.

Love anything Harley Laroux though, so I'm diving straight into Losers.

This book was a little dark for me. But I finished it. It was just okay. But I'm guessing the other books in the series will go much more in depth with these characters. I'm slightly intrigued enough to see where this all goes so I think I am going to check out the next book in this series to appease my curiosity. Hopefully, it won't kill the cat.

this was not as dark as everyone said it was going to be TT, but some stuff really did catch me off guard so ill give it props. because of this book, im really questioning my limits when it comes to dark romance, but if anything this wasn't even close. it was a good little fun read, lowkey im probably gonna forget half the stuff in this in about a month...but anyways, was a weird book and was fun while it lasted, just wasn't my favorite

thank you for coming to my tedtalk<3

5/5 ***!!!!CHECK WARNING/TRIGGERS BEFORE READING!!!!*** Oh my- This book was recommended by tiktok users and damn, they did not disappoint. I'm not sure what I expected when I had just started reading. And I just read it in 2 hours. I'm proud even though it's a short book.

I saw this book and thought "let me give it a try" and was not expecting what I found (yes I skipped the warnings). The boots scene was gross and I found the writing kind of cheesy. Please read carefully the TW at the beginning of the book, this one is not for everyone.

What in the dumpety trumpety bump was that? I don’t know how but i finished it. I was speechless. She kept acting like she didn’t wanna obey but then she did it anyways but then quit halfway to be bratty. I was just like “OMG GIRL, YOU DO IT OR YOU DON’T! ITS THAT SIMPLE!!” I was really annoyed and tbh it wasn’t my style.
