Shantel has given us SUCH a treat- all three books in the series PLUS a delicious novella featuring our two couples. And for a great price?! What more can a girl ask for!<br /><br />I LOVE THIS SERIES- and while I love everything Shantel writes, I think it will always be my favorite. I can not get enough- so it was fun to revisit the world that made me fall in love with Shantel’s writing. The Dare You series characters are incomparable- they are twisted, dark, radically imperfect, and depraved. The sharks are the kind of men that terrify you as much as they turn you on- dark masterpieces you can’t escape, and you don't want to. They are unethical, lawless, violent, and ruthless- but they also love each other and their women HARD. After they’re done playing with them, of course. And that is what this series is all about- that love-hate game. Twisted men toying with seemingly unassuming women. But then they find themselves with opponents they never expected-strong willed women who fight back harder, women who can take their crap, and women that they set out to consume but ultimately end up being consumed by them. I may need my head examined because these alpha psychoes are like candy to me- Cole and Deke are so deliciously dark and dreamy.<br /><br /><br />This series is Shantel’s best writing- my all time favorite of hers and of all series ever. Shantel wrote the playbook on enemies to lovers/dark bully drama with this series. The toxic and explosive chemistry, the redemption, the gritty emotion, the flawed characters- it is addictive. Pain, secrets, twists at every turn- the plot mirrors the characters’ chemistry- tumultuous, violent, and totally consuming. These characters will break you- and they’ll like doing it- but then they’ll heal you with their unique brand of crazy, manic love. <br /><br />The bonus content was NOT AT ALL what I was expecting- I don’t even want to say anything to not spoil, but Shantel left me with my jaw on the floor completely. HOLY SMOKES. Just read it- that’s all I can say! Thank you, Shantel, for reminding me yet again why I love you and why I love this series!<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />For a book by book review, check out below: <br /><br /><br />I Dare You:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br />What an insane introduction to Shantel Tessier- one that started a long term reading relationship. After reading this series, I knew Shantel would be a one click author for me! This series is so gripping, so creative, so addictive. Shantel redefined the bully romance trope with I Dare You- and set my kindle on fire. I Dare You totally blew my mind- and broke my heart and then rebuilt it again. What an epic book hangover!<br /> <br />Forced to relocate to live with her estranged father, Austin has decided to treat this as a temporary purgatory, a pit stop on her way to get away from her horrid parents. Life hasn’t been easy- and the promise of freedom from everything she’s wanted to get away from only a few months away. But, then we meet Cole Reyolds- and Austin gets caught up in a dangerous game with this deliciously devious boy. Austin will never be the same, NOR WILL WE.Because Cole is everything! Cole is the revenge thirsty de facto leader of the Great White Sharks- a group of cunning, merciless rich playboys who entertain themselves by playing the sinister “I Dare You.” He’s surprised that Austin can hold her own in this game with him and his friends- even if she doesn’t quite know the full game she’s playing. An attraction grows, but Cole also wants to destroy her- mmm...yummy bully goodness! These two are so hot and intense- and we have so much mystery and so many twists! What are Cole’s real intentions? Can Austin survive- who can she trust?<br /> <br />Cole is SO addictive- he captivated me from his first word. He’s dark and playful and so clever. And he doesn’t care about anything- or anyone. But he has secrets- he has guilt and pain, and Austin jolts him. And I LOVE Austin- my goodness. She can hold her own with this devious crew- she’s strong and a fighter. She’s broken herself, but she’s so resilient. I loved her spunkiness and her fire. She’s so real- and both of them are so compellingly complex and interesting. And together?! SCORCHING. The intense love/hate goodness just explodes off the page. Carnal, volatile, emotional, and riveting. Add in a delightful batch of secondary characters (I heart Deke) and this just makes for a fantastic story that I want to sink down deep into and never leave. And that ending- WOAH.<br /> <br />This book had me on my toes- suspense, heat, danger, mystery, amazing characters and chemistry. I am obsessed with Cole and obsessed with this series!<br /> <br />I Promise You:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br />After that jarring cliffhanger we had in I Dare You, Shantel throws us a bit of a curveball- plot twists, different POVs, and a story I wasn’t quite expecting but certainly enjoyed.<br /><br />In I Promise You, we spend most of our narration in our Sharks heads- as if I couldn’t love Deke and Cole any more, now I get to get deeper insight into what makes them tick. Shantel interestingly and creatively sidelines Austin so we can really immerse ourselves in Cole’s psyche- which means we do get some much needed answers and, because its the Sharks and its Cole, we get even more drama. But really, Shantel is giving Cole the emotional range and complexity that we knew was there but couldn't quite understand in book one- and it only makes us love him more and more. We discover that all we, and Austin, thought was not quite as it seems- sure, Cole is still a shark in the water, but he’s a shark protecting instead of preying. We get to see him put everything on the line for Austin- show his undying love and devotion- and LORD, that has cemented him as my favorite Shantel heroine of all time. And Deke?! GIMME MORE He’s so fantastic, his loyalty and protectiveness, the way he gives to those he loves. <br /><br />The book did read more like an alternative POV/companion for much of the story vs. a sequel- we spend a lot of the time reseeing plot aspects through new eyes, which has our plot stagnante while we explore that. But Shantel finished with a bang- and I’m dying for book 3. THis series has everything I love about a dark bully story- and what I’ve come to recognize as the undeniable talent of Shantel Tessier. Addictive story, twists, lies and secrets, manipulation, hot sex, and brutally flawed but also beautifully broken characters that make you crazy and obsessed all at once. DARK, yummy goodness!<br /> <br />If You Dare:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️<br />WHAT THE WHAT! I didn’t think Shantel could top our first two books- and while I knew I’d love Deke, I had NO idea he’d rival Cole in my heart. But, Shantel always is taking things to the next level of darkness and twistedness, sexiness, mind-bendingness (yeh, I made up that word), and this story wrecked me in the best possible way. This is dark intrigue, love-hate magic - powered by the brutal and ruthless sharks in the bloody waters- the monsters we love to hate and hate to love.<br /><br />While this story centers on Deke, this story really ties into the first two in the series (focused on Cole and Austin)- and you really need to read them in order to understand the bigger plot at hand, who these characters are, and the stakes. This story finds our two beloved sharks and newly minted fiance Austin leaving behind the trauma and secrets in Collins, starting a new life in college in Texas. But we quickly learn that the sharks business is never done- revenge, darkness, danger, and mind games. Deke thinks he’s the master of the game- until we meet a whole new player.<br /><br />I just love this world and the characters that Shantel has living in it- they are twisted, dark, radically imperfect, and depraved. The sharks are the kind of men that terrifying you as much as they turn you on- dark masterpieces you can’t escape. I had a soft spot for Deke, and he ends up being so much more messed up and morally ambiguous than I ever expected. And I need my head examined because it makes me love him even more. He’s bad, he’s crazy, he’s a big naughty antihero- but he also loves hard, he’s protective and loyal- and when those two traits combine, he will burn the world to the ground to protect.<br /><br />Our love interest was just so unexpected- but she is perfect for him. She’s survived astounding pain- imbuing in her a craving for Deke’s cruelty, and giving her the strength to match him. So many sick and twisted mindgames, delicious erotic diversions, secrets and twists galore, and all the drama.<br /><br />This series is Shantel’s best writing- my all time favorite of hers and of all series ever. Shantel wrote the playbook on enemies to lovers/dark bully drama with this series. The toxic and explosive chemistry, the redemption, the gritty emotion, the flawed characters- it is addictive. Pain, secrets, twists at every turn- the plot mirrors the characters’ chemistry- tumultuous, violent, and totally consuming. These characters will break you- and they’ll like doing it- but then they’ll heal you with their unique brand of crazy, manic love. I could not love this series more- and Deke has now rivaled Cole for my all time favorite man.

Book 1- Cole and Austin. Oh freaking man. What a page turning, mind blowing, all nighter of a storyline! <br />I don’t even have words, but I figure a few will work here. <br />Read this. Let Tessier take you on the ride she took me on. <br />This book took me 100 mph from beginning to finish, and never once hit the brakes!<br /><br />Book 2- I floved getting more of GWS this time around! <br />If you didn’t read book 1, then stop what you’re doing and check that one out NOW! <br />GWS is back, giving us insight not only to Cole, but also Bennet and Deke. <br />To begin: I need even more Bennet. I have so many questions about so many of his actions, and no answers.<br />And Deke: gosh, he’s such an indescribable character. His round and round with Becky left me torn though, because she is just so unlikeable. I just can’t with her. <br /><br />Book 3- Nothing quite like a rollercoaster to get the blood pumping, and I didn’t even have to hit an amusement park. Deke has been the one I was most looking forward to, and his story took me so many places in such a short amount of time, that my head is still spinning.<br />I’m not gonna be the one to give it away, but I will say this.<br />If you thought Cole &amp; Austin were something, just wait til Deke gets ahold of you. <br />#youarentready<br />#dekeishere<br />#gws<br /><br />Bonus- A super quick sneak peek at the gang these days. A little bit more of everyone’s HEA, and I loved sneaking in on them for a little while longer.

No matter how many times I read this series, I never get bored. And I always seem to find something different that either shocks me or cracks me up.<br />Reading the boxset as a whole was certainly no different.<br />The bonus content was (As expected) epic, and loved how the author tied some of her worlds together yet again. <br />Hopefully the handiness of having all the books in one place helps introduce more readers to the sharks as they deserve to be everyone favourite read.<br />Look forward to seeing what the author comes up with next...

This collection is SUCH a must read!!!!! <br />It has all THREE books PLUS bonus content at the end that you cannot read anywhere else. And those chapters were EVERYTHING!!! It felt like old times reading Deke, Demi, Austin and Cole. I love them so much! And that ending!!!! OMFG. Just trust me. You need to read this to find out. 5 stars and MORE for these sharks and their women!!!

Amazing series with a bada$$ heroine!! Austin is nothing like any heroine you’ve read before and Cole is perfect for her!! This series pulls you in from Chapter 1 all the way thru. You’ll be afraid to put it down. And the bonus?! Definitely an awesome read that will leave you wanting even more of these two. It was nice catching up on their lives but as always you want more!! Love it!!!
