but one last thing i miss the other Manson this new washed-out watered-down version of him isn’t doing shit for me; he will be deeply missed)

Standalone or Part of Series: Part of Loser series (Part One). I highly recommend reading The Dare, so you are introduced to the characters in the novella.Except them. The freaks, the weirdos, the school’s ultimate losers: Manson, Jason, Lucas, and Vincent. Our hatred for each other couldn’t keep us apart, not even when my own mistake got Manson expelled and made me the ultimate villain to the rest of them. one other thing, that didn’t so much come out the other side unscathed but was shaken into the book for better, was the relationships between lucas & manson and jason & vincent. I never thought that there would be more to these characters after the Dare, and I am so pleased to see what the author had planned. I love how she can take some pretty intense k!nk and make it emotional and beautiful. Because any true lover of these themes knows that the more degrading a steamy situation might get, the more trust and devotion that needs to be present. And while the Dare had some pretty intense things happen.. it was just the beginning, just the tip (bad pun, i know) of what these characters are capable of. I’d been Prom Queen, Cheer Captain - high school’s most savage Queen Bee. I could have everything I wanted.

the dialogue was especially hard to ignore, and maybe i’m wrong about this, but shouldn’t a book that has little to no other plot be able to contain realistic or, at the very least, passable dialogue? If there is one of many reasons why I enjoyed this book, it was how the four boys were a family, and you could tell they cared for each other in their own ways. They knew what each needed, and I loved how they came together with all the crap they had been with their families. What they all went through in high school, too? These boys found their family, and it was them, but now they hope Jessica will be a part of their family, too. Jessica realizes in this book how the town sees them, and now that she is hanging out with them more, she sees them as who they are, which is why it’s hard for her not to stay away. I know I wouldn’t be able to stay away from them. Losers is an 18+ polyamorous bisexual romance between one woman and four men, including MF, MM, and group scenes. Reader discretion is strongly advised, this is a dark read. This book contains graphic sexual scenes, intense scenes of BDSM, graphic violence, and strong language. A full content note can be found in the front matter of the book. But she’s so much more. Her character development was already amazingly done and can’t wait for her to fully get adopted into this group. Lucas was really the only character out of the four guys who seemed like his own separate character. which, you know, good for him.

Customer reviews

It's a difficult task for an author to include this much spice without it feeling smutty or overdone. It is not sex for the sake of sex. All of the scenes (and there are *M*A*N*Y*) feel integral to the development of one or more of the characters involved. Mason, Jason, Lucas, and Vincent are all so amazing. I loved that we didn’t just get to see their relationship with Jessica grow and how they changed from loving her…but we also got to see how their relationships with each other grew (especially Jason and Lucas!!!). This is a god-tier poly romance. Drawn to one another despite the disparity and underlying anger, when the engine blows in Jess’ car, she takes the opportunity to work out a trade.
