Review: Losers part 2

 


Title: Losers part 2 

Series: Losers series 

Author: Harley Laroux 

Release Date: October 2025




From Booktok sensation Harley Laroux, author of the New York Times bestseller Her Soul to Take, part two of the infamously spicy, irresistibly dark, Why Choose bully duology – perfect for readers of Sadie Kincaid, LJ Shen, and Eva Ashwood.


Every action has consequences.


I made one foolish mistake and ended up with a debt I had only one way to pay...by bowing my head and submitting to the men I swore I hated. But in their dominance I found catharsis. In the darkness we share, parts of myself were brought to the light.


I've been wearing a mask for far too long.


Now I'm torn between the future I thought I wanted, and a life I once believed was only fantasy.


These feelings between us were never just a game.


What am I willing to sacrifice? My pride and carefully laid plans, my determination that I can do it all alone? Or my new-found freedom to live without boundaries with the men who turned my world on its head? How much am I willing to give up?


Who am I willing to lose?


Goodreads | Amazon 



Losers part 2 picks up where part 1 left off & must be read in order. 

Jess has been back in town - only to find herself in a contract with the men who she thought she hated. Who she bullied any chance she got. A contract that has her serving them, which has then shattered the perfect little life she thought she wanted into a future that may be more than just a fantasy but might become real. But what will she need to sacrifice to get the future she didn't hope to dream of? 

I absolutely loved this book, just as much as part 1. It was still hot and sexy and was definitely more than I ever thought, which left me wondering why I waited so long before I dived into this series. It was dark and delicious touching on many fantasies and kinks much like the first one did. I loved the characters & the dynamic between everyone, watching the characters grow, and loved the story too. 

Overall I thoroughly enjoyed this series & while I already have the Dare & part 1 on my shelves I will need to add part 2 as well (preferably in the indie cover to match my others!)

Weekly Newsletter: February 2

  Hope everyone has a good couple weeks. I know it says weekly Newsletter & I know I have been taking two weeks each time to put out one 😂😂 I *want* it to be every week, but January is just super crazy over here. - but we'll see once things settle down some if it will stay every other week or if I switch to every week or not 😂😂.  This week, I got my preorder of Onyx Storm in (bday present), and we did my daughter's 10th bday party- she did bowling & invited a ton of friends! She also had a field trip to go skiing earlier in the week too which she liked.  Also here are the vibes I bring to the function but truthfully I probably won't go to the function - I am an introvert & don't people very well 😂😂 but it was a fun challenge to do on IG & TT either way. Do we share anything in common?  What I Read This Week:  Title: Onyx Storm  Series: The Empyrean  Author: Rebecca Yarros Review | Goodreads | Purchase Quote: “I am yours and you ...

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.
