 He could have been my hero. He saved my life that night, a beautiful dark angel slicing through my fear and the water, dragging me from its deadly clutches. He should have been my hero. I thought maybe he was. Villains aren’t supposed to win, and good should always conquer evil, but in the elite coastal town I live in, the only purpose a label has is letting you know what something--or someone—costs. Good, bad; it’s all relative, and it hardly matters. Baymont, California is a land of beautiful villains and happy-ever-afters that are just out of reach. Especially for me. Until Dare moves the world beneath my feet, and even though I’m afraid to trust it—to trust him—boy, am I tempted. In more ways than one. Being with Dare is scary, but being without him is impossible. He makes it impossible. Dare’s no hero, that much is clear, but maybe… Maybe he’s mine. This story contains triggers and is intended only for a mature, adult audience. See the opening author's note for more explicit triggers, but know this is a very dangerous relationship with a very dark hero. 5 Heart Review by Lorena I don't know where to begin right now because this book just .... I can't even form words right now! This book is so, so different from what I am used to reading and I have to say that Sam Mariano sure did one hell of a job with this amazing story. She had me fooled throughout the whole book and I absolutely loved this about it. I never imagined it would end up the way it did and it certainly took me for a loop. We have a villain who can be so charming and downright manipulative and calculating. He knew how to charm his way to a girl's heart and her panties because he was just that good. He had everything going for him and it didn't hurt that he not only had the looks, money but he also had brains. The heroine, well she really got me at first because she wasn't letting herself get charmed so easily. She didn't have time for love in her life, she barely had time for a social life at all. She had to dedicate her time to school, work and her mom and that was all the time she had, but when Mr. Charming came along, he made sure she made time for him. She was a bit to tame, but he managed after a while ;) I can tell you that he charmed the panties off of me as I read each line of each page but he also made sure to make me want to throw my kindle at my wall because he also knew how to make me want to throttle him as well. He was manipulative to the core and so damn obsessive when it came down to the heroine that I couldn't tell if it was real or not, if it was all an act or if it was really coming from his heart. All I can say is that I am in love with Sam Mariano's writing and now I am going to go to her back catalog and read what she's got out there because I certainly LOVED this book so, so much! About the Author Sam Mariano loves to write edgy, twisty romantic reads with complicated characters you’re left thinking about long after you turn the last page. Her favorite thing about indie publishing is the ability to play by your own rules! If she isn’t reading one of the thousands of books on her to-read list, writing her next book, or playing with her adorable preschooler… actually, that’s about all she has time for these days.
