Review:

YOU NEED TO READ THE FIRST TWO BOOKS IN THE DARE SERIES BEFORE YOU PICK THIS ONE UP!
Where do I even begin with this book. What a crazy ride it was!
It follows Deke Biggs, in the events following I Promise You. Deke is seeking revenge on Becky after all the lies. After all, Deke isn't afraid to kill- he has always been a shark. And he's going to become Becky's worst nightmare. Until a new player enters who plans on taking everything. Who will win, and who will lose in the battle?
"She was going to destroy me, and I was going to let her. It was a game that could only end one way- a slow and torturous death."
Gah! I LOVED this book! It was dark and twisted! Deke was everything. And I loved seeing Austin and Cole making an appearance in this book too! I stayed up way too late reading book enjoying all the twists and turns & revelations! It was seriously dark and amazing. If you like being on the edge of your seat, and love the dark and twisted, this is the book for you! 5 crazy ⭐ out of 5⭐










Prologue:
Deke

Death Is A debt we are all born owing. 

It is something that money can't buy nor can it be traded. 

You can't bargain for more time. When it's up you accept it like a fucking man.

I've never been afraid to die. Or to love, for that matter. 

Aren't they the same?

You surrender to a fate you have no control over.

You don't get to choose when or how you die, just as you can't choose when and who you fall in love with. 

Some couples get a happily ever after while others are toxic for one another. 

My love was like that. 

She lied; I believed every word. 

I hurt her; she forgave too easily. 

It was a vicious circle of deceit and sex wrapped up in a pretty black bow. Neither one of us could quit. 

I wrapped my hand around her throat, and she begged me to breathe.

She stabbed me in the heart and demanded I bleed. 

She might as well have been fucking poison, but I would have drunk her anyway. 

That was the kind of obsession I had for her. 

I knew how it would end-total devastation.

A war zone of Broken bones and bleeding souls.

I should have hated her, but that's the funny thing about love-it’s out of your control. 

Even when it leaves you with two black eyes, you beg for more. 

People are afraid of the unknown, but I've never feared death, and love was no different.

She was going to destroy me, and I was going to let her.  It was a game that could only end one way-a slow and torturous death.

Reread: Broken Bonds

  Title: Broken Bonds  Series: Bonds That Tie  Author: J Bree Release Date: June 2021 After the death of my mother and her Bonded, I was relieved to find my own Bonds. I was sure everything would be okay if I had them. It wasn’t. The fate of our people is in my hands and I know we’re better off if I’m alone. After five years on the run, I’m caught and dragged back to face the men I ran away from. I thought I was doing the right thing. Now, I’m not so sure. North, Nox, Gryphon, Atlas, and Gabe may never forgive me but one thing is for sure. I won’t ever forgive myself. *Broken Bonds is a full length reverse harem PNR novel with material that may be difficult for some readers. This book will end on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+ due to language and sexual situations. Goodreads | Amazon   So I am rereading the Bonds that Tie series to read the newest release Broken Ties. You can find my  Original Review Here . This is a romantasy why choose romance full o...
