Even if it Hurts: (Coastal Elite, #1)

Product Information

I’ll have to remember to leave some gaps in my schedule going forward so I have a little room for playing with new ideas. I love delving into the psyche of the MCs, which includes all the emotions, usually bad ones, while reading. She sees the good in him, the sweet and swoony in the way he so ardently pursues and woos her, but she also recognizes all the bad.

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. At school, she's not exactly in the "in" crowd, so she doesn't care about her social status or trying to fit in. I released quite a few books in 2022, but I published the last couple so late in the year, some of my highest performing older titles were able to beat them out for third and fourth place! If she was just a bit more intelligent throughout may be I’d have been able to be a bit more invested.He didn't like what the object of his obsession had to say about him shoving her aggressively into the cushions, manhandling and brutally using her body? I told you Hannah would only be in danger if you left me, and you weren’t thinking about doing that, were you?

He constructs an entirely reality where our heroine has no path anywhere other than to and with him.But we didn’t get enough time where we knew for sure that Dare really loved Aubrey, and Aubrey was with him because she loves him and not JUST because she’s terrified of him.

Not just a bonus chapter either, Sleeping Beauty is a 15k+ word (like 6 to 7 of my usual chapters) scene written from Aubrey’s POV.I really never knew what Dare or Anae was going to do which made it exciting and page turning to read. How I would strip away your will, ignore your every single boundary, and treat you like a toy, playing with you exactly how I want to without regard for whether or not you liked it. The moment Aubrey specified that she wanted exclusivity with him (which was pretty early on), as in none of his body part was allowed to enter any hole that wasn't exclusively hers, what did my king do? And for fans of teacher-student romance, Noelle’s frighteningly hot teacher has his eye on her—in fact, he can’t seem to take them off her.

Meet Aubrey (h) and Dare (H), swept away in their whirlwind romance where the words "no" and "stop" simply do not exist. Once she's safe and leaves, Anae tells Dare she wants him to f*** her, ruin her, break her heart, and Dare agrees. 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? So, while personally I would have enjoyed for her to open her eyes to his dark and devilish ways, in the end they probably wouldn’t have worked if she wasn’t who she was.

Like many of SM's books, this is mostly told in the h's POV, but the few/key chapters in the H's POV make a difference. She's fast becoming one of my favourite dark and disturbing authors, I totally love how she pushes those boundaries. Their self-aware and unapologetic- they more than accept their twistedness, rather, they expect everyone else to adapt to their needs and methods- including the heroine. He saved my life that night, a beautiful dark angel slicing through my fear and the water, dragging me from its deadly clutches.
