Losers: Part II
B**E
Lucas and Manson own my heart and soul
Those five deserve the world and I'm absolutely ecstatic for them. That being said, my ranking of the order I love them in didn't change, which is good - it means that the characters were consistent and bloody well written!The plot was well executed, especially with how the first book ended. I did hope we'd get a bit more closure on some of the minor plotlines like Kyle's current whereabouts or what Jess' former friends are up to and if they might not think Alex went a little overboard but I do love the way things went down. It managed to stay just shy of too much action and drama, while still keeping up with the tension set in book 1.The ending was maybe a little too sweet, but it was what I wanted for those characters. I just wish we could have seen them in a bit more diverse situations. In book 1 we see them argue and work through their issues while coming together, but there didn't seem to be anything to work through between them once they came together. Again, I love that for them, I just want to read more of the actively working through issues.And the spice, oh the spice. I almost had to fan myself. It is an absolute honor to be part of Harley's ARC team.

pretty good
I liked book 2 more than book 1.There was more plot in this than just intimate scenes which make book much better. Not as much as I would’ve liked though, I still think there was way too many intimate scenes ( never thought will say something like this)At some point I started speed reading them as it’s just not that interesting when one intimate scenes takes 2 chapters and they take at least 70% of the book…I don’t like how long it took Jess to stand up against her mother, I’am all for respect your parents no matter what they are, but there has to be line drawn at some point for how much they can control your life.This book was great, it showed me all sides of BDSM, after reading this , I have good understanding of what I may like and what is big no, unfortunately for my taste things was taken too far in this book, especially when Jess asked to pee on her, not to judge anyone’s kink, but that’s just disgusting…I didn’t paid much attention on what was going on after this scene as all I wanted was just to finish it faster unfortunately.

Best depraved romance ever
In love with Harleys writing. This love story sucked me in and wrecked me! Check your trigger warnings for bdsm, role play, fetish ect. Love this series

Phenomenally stunning
I couldn’t find the words to write this review, so this is taking me a long time, the message behind the story about love and acceptance and family goes above and beyond. If you’re unadulterated, X-rated smut is next level, but please read the trigger warnings! If like myself, you understand that it’s a work of fiction and what occurs between the group is for entertainment value. You can see the love that builds between these characters through their adventure in love making. The build in relationships between Jessica, an author of the boys is beautiful, but the relationship between the four boys themselves and the family that they have created and welcome Jessica into is just absolutely stunning. Understanding that their family is gonna be frowned upon and won’t be accepted in modern society, but grabbing it and loving it regardless is just phenomenal. They face their battles together they hold their heads high, and they’re proud of who they are, and they’re proud of who they love.

Obsessed!!
Obsessed with this ending!! Very cute and hot and when stuff started going down I was like 'oh yes' and it was so good!! There was a good mix between spice but also cute romantic moments between all 5 of the characters - for me it was the perfect balanceSo glad I gave these books a chance - dark romance isn't my usual cup of tea and I was a bit worried by all the content warnings that this series would be a bit much for me. However I really enjoyed the writing style and I think they massively helped with my enjoyment of it- poly / found family- multi pov

Nice ending, kinda slow middle
It took me a while to read this because I kept getting kinda bored and stopping. But I really like the characters so I decided to plod on and get it finished.Overall, I liked this story and I would definitely recommend it. The spice delivered as I expected it to. Very kinky. Very dark. Lots of group activities.I thought the conflict could have been exaggerated more. Reagan scared the hell out of me and I was kinda disappointed with how it went down with him.I liked the HEA though! 3 stars

Dark romance is the best romance!
This whole book series had me in a chokehold and that is not an overreaction! These books were just incredible, the spice the character development and the connections were just chefs kiss and I will never get over how good they are. This series is not without trigger warnings so please check those. The characters each have so much depth which I liked to read and so much background which just made you feel like you know the character even more. If you do chose to read this series please enjoy.

A new favorite
Holy shit Batman. I don’t even know what to say about this book. This series really. Because damn this book hit me on so many levels. I’ve seriously loved all of Harley’s other work and this series was no different, but this one honestly one was so personal for me. I’m not sure I’ve related to a series as much as this one. So, so many of the characters traumas were reflections of my own life and my exploration of my sexuality as a senior in high school with parents who disapproved of my “unsuitable” suitors who had sketchy home lives. My life took a radical turn my senior year and much like Jess, I had the grades, had the pageants, all the things and they were never enough for my folks so they pushed me away. I also drove a souped up El Camino, so the boys even felt like part of my story. Of course there’s a lot more to my story I could write my own book about but let’s not have a therapy session in a review lol all that to say this series was so freaking good. Almost cathartic for me. The spice was unmatched 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️+5 as it touched on SO many kinks and fantasies yet somehow managed to feel realistic. I felt like it was a great representation of BDSM (from what little I know. The character development was great as we get to see Jess fully come into her own from being a total bully bitch in the first two books to being unashamed of what and who she wants. The boys face their fears, and support her and each other no matter what. The dialogue was super, and the flashbacks really bring everything into perspective for all the characters. Overall it was a wonderfully written book. A HEA for all involved. It’s only january but I feel like this series will be a top read for this year for me.

more than expected!
When I finished reading The Dare, if you had told me by the near end of Losers PTII I’d be on the verge of happy tears, I would of thought you crazy.This book is the perfect ending to the story of Jessica, Manson, Lucas, Vincent and Jason. The parts that we’ve come to expect in this storyline are everything and more - there is some spicy, spicy scenes! It is the story between the sex that really shines, though. The development of the characters and the interconnected story line as well as the individual relationships is amazing. To be able to write such a dynamic that leaves you thinking “huh, it works, that’s pretty cool” as opposed to being put off by it is the absolute magic of this story. I kinda wanna be BFFs with all of them - I just enjoyed their stories and personalities so much. Fantastic read!

Keep chasing the next sunrise
I can't find the words, honestly.This book was a hurricane, it devastated all my feelings in all directions - and I would ask for more!This duology has become my safe space, it's liberating and welcoming.It's a place I want to revisit when I'm happy, sad, in love or insecure.I was really moved by everything I experienced reading it, and I couldn't be more grateful for having this in my life.THANK YOU!

Amazing end!
This is the second book of the duet and this is not a standalone.This is definitely the best dark reverse harem I’ve ever read.HEA guaranteed.

Perfektes Ende
Dieses Buch macht mich so emotional!! Es ist einer der besten Reverse Harem Bücher die ich je gelesen habe, wenn nicht sogar das beste. Ich wünschte es würde mehr Teile geben oder sogar ein weiteres Epilog, wenn Jess Kinder hat. Jess hat sich zum positiven verändert und alle Charaktere (Vincent, Mason, Jason, Lucas) haben mir gefallen.
