I think Jessica gifts Vincent a nice camera for his first birthday after they move to NY, and he IMMEDIATELY takes to it.
He photographs everything - their new home as they renovate it, the wilderness around them, one another (explicit and not!) - and Jason and Jessica conspire to enter some of his work into a photography contest.
That awkward moment when someone (even more tragic if it's a family member) asks what the book you're reading is about, but you can't tell them because it's purely smvt, so you stick to an extremely vague, overall, appropriate, summary, but it's not even enough to be a summary, just a part that is in the book and an overarching theme
This is my first Harley Laroux book… and I LOVED it!
It was interesting to see how the dynamic between Manson, Lucas, Vincent, and Jason worked, and I kind of regret not reading “The Dare” beforehand, but I think this book answers any questions you might have about that night.
I liked that these young men have had a crush on Jessica all these years, and vice versa, and that Jessica is finally letting her guard down and doing what she wants. Because seriously, that revenge scene against Alex, Danielle, Nate and all those other backstabbing jerks… perfection!
The cliffhanger wasn’t too bad, but I’m anxious to know how they’re going to deal with Manson’s violent father being back, and what exactly is going to go down when Jessica doesn’t owe them a debt anymore.
I need to crack open book two asap.
Now enjoy my thoughts throughout the book...
* So the cheerleader made out with the freak. I’m getting Eddie/Chrissy vibes lol
* Kyle is also giving Jason vibes. Fuck this dude already. I don’t like that he’s setting up Manson to be jumped.
* Oh so we started in high school for the first chapter and then jumped to after high school in chapter two..? Okay then.
* Another two year time jump for chapter three.. I like that the characters are being aged up haha.
* Lmao. Jessica would run into two of the boys while washing cars for a church. Oh god, yes! At least they know she’s back in town now.
* Lmao. They got the best car wash they ever could have hoped for 😂
* Goddamn. Vincent and Jason… okayyyy, I see you 😏
* Ugh. Seriously? Kyle’s buddies still act like they’re in high school? Gross.
* The tension between Jessica, Manson, Vincent, Jason, and Lucas. Holy hell.
* So the girl Jessica’s ex cheated on her with is now into bad boys and interested in Lucas? Let the girl drama begin.
* Oh I’m so glad Lucas won that race.
* Alex is a little bitch boy. They should have shot him. And Jessica!! You’re a goddamn fool.
* Wow. Fuck Jessica for going along with those “friends” of hers. I hope the boys make her grovel for what they did to the cars.
* Dammnnnnn. These boys are the “fuck around and find out” type 😏
* Uh oh. Using her body to pay off the debt she owes them for fixing her car… this isn’t going to end well.
* Jesus… Lucas making her give him a show with her vibrator.. 🥵
* Omg. Lucas and Manson were fucking around when they “broke into” Jessica’s place. Holy shit.. that entire scene..
* lmao. Lucas is not an aftercare dude. He was so awkward before settling in.
* So Manson’s dad is back in town? This isn’t going to go well, is it?
* Jesus Christ, Vincent! I’m with Jessica. I thought you were the sweet one 😂 You little fucking sadist.
* Cat girls lmfao. I can’t with Jason right now.
* They got her cum-drunk. Holy shit. What even is this book?! And now Jason and Manson are totally fucked. They’re in deep.
* Damn. Manson found out his dad was back in town on his own. He’s really spooked by that asshole, huh?
* Road head 😏
* Jesus… this book is pure filth. I love it.
* Manson’s dad is freaking me out- the way he grabbed Jessica? Oh hell no.
* Lmfaoooo. Yessss! Jason fucking Jessica while Alex could hear..? That’s my new favorite scene 😂
* Damn, Manson. You really cut your name into her ass cheek, huh? 😏
* Oh I’m so glad she finally stood up to Danielle! Fuck that backstabbing bitch. And the boys got their revenge!!!
* Lmfao. She took out Lucas first in paintball and now he’s pissed. He’s definitely gonna fuck her, I just hope he pulls in his temper.
* Bent over the school desk. I’m here for it lol.
* God. Manson’s dad is a dick. Can he just die if alcohol poisoning or something?
* Goddamn. I’m not normally a fan of MM scenes, but there’s just something about Manson and Lucas getting it on that is.. 🥵
* Oohhhhh. They plan to kidnap Jess and bring her fantasy to life..? WHERE’S BOOK 2?!
Story: 5 out of 5
Smut: 1000 out of 5 (holy hell, the smut!)
Holy. Hell. Where do I even start?
This duet is possibly the filthiest I’ve ever read and I loved every second of it. All of my questions from book one were answered here in book two, and boy was it a rollercoaster to get those answers.
The love that all five of the main characters have for one another made my heart melt. The drama had me on the edge of my seat and my heart pounding a little too quickly, but it was well worth it.
Friendships were lost (good riddance) and others blossomed. Again, I loved every second of it.
I highly recommend everyone read this book!
Now enjoy my rambling thoughts...
* “I’m perfectly happy. Why wouldn’t I be?” // “A sad person knows what another sad person looks like. I hear it in your voice. I see it in your eyes. I feel it when I look at you. You deserve to be happy, but you’ll never find it with the people you’re choosing.”
* Lmao. They really “took her captive”. They weren’t messing around when she explained her fantasy 😂
* I’m so glad Jason told her they weren’t going anywhere even after her car was fixed. Yes! Keep her ass with you all. It’s where she belongs.
* Jason and Lucas competing on who can hold out the longest, and Jess doing her best to make them cum fast 😂
* So Manson’s dad was talking to a group of “young men” in order to sabotage our boys, huh? Fuck that dude.
* He told her he loved her 😩
* God. Danielle and Candace are such bitches.
* Goddamn, Jess. You really made Lucas kneel, huh. So hot 🥵
* Is Manson’s dad really recruiting people to fuck with the boys? Ugh. Can someone unalive him, please?
* Why are these assholes trying to kill my babies?! Seriously, these fucks need to go. Someone please ruin their lives 🙏🏻
* She finally told Manson she loved him 😭 Nothing better happen to my babies.
* Manson’s dad really tried to attack Jess at her own home, huh. What a fucking dick. Die already!!!
* And now Vincent has confessed his love ❤️
* I’m so glad Jess finally stood up to her mom. She was pissing me off so bad.
* And now her and Jason confessed their love. All we need is Lucas!! Lol.
* Holy shit. The way they suspended Jason and Jess across from one another as they.. 🥵 well, you know. Read the damn book. You won’t regret it.
* Tough guy Lucas takes care of stray cats. Oh I love him so much.
* And now they’ve all confessed their love for one another!!! I’m so happy. I don’t want anyone to ruin it.
* Manson’s dad really tried to poison the dogs?! What a fucking dick!
* Her debt is paid off and they asked her to join them. Yesssss!! They’re even willing to move to New York with her 🥰
* So Jess being into golden showers wasn’t a mistake on her check list after all. Those boys were so excited lmao.
* Fucking Nate and Alex attacked Jess… this isn’t going to end well.
* Holy shit. Nate and Alex got a well deserved beat down. I’m here for it.
* And here is Manson’s father riling up Alex to go after the boys and Jess again. My heart can’t handle this shit.
* Atta girl, Jojo. Attack Alex.
* Holy shit. Manson’s dad really tried to kill them all. I’m so glad the boys woke up in time.
* They proposed. Omfg. They can’t actually get married, but they got her a ring 😭
* Oh shit. They got her a collar 😏
* Damn. All that talk of breeding.. I hope they have a family one day.
