Dare Series Collection: A Dark Bully Romance Kindle Edition
I DARE YOU
What do you do when the devil has you in his sights?
You show him that you can play his game.
Austin Lowes is new to town. She's running from a mom who hates her to her dad who cares nothing about her. Only a few months and she will be free, or at least, that's what she hopes ... until she meets him.
Cole Reynolds is the devil disguised as a man. He wants her fear, he wants her blood, and he wants her soul.
Just a little game, he says, I dare you.
Will Austin survive him, or will she lose herself and the game?
Secrets are revealed and justice will be served, but at what cost?
Who survives and who doesn't?
I PROMISE YOU
It was supposed to be a game.
I Dare You.
We bought her in 'cause I wanted to play with her.
Destroy her.
But plans change and she got caught in the cross fire.
Then I did something far worse. I fell in love with her, but she doesn't know I still have secrets.
Ones that could rip us all apart.
We're sharks.
Raised to hunt and kill.
We take what we want without asking.
We've never needed permission before, so I'm not about to start now.
You think you know everything, but we're about to do what we do best and prove you wrong- I Promise You!
IF YOU DARE
The game was over. The dares were getting old, and the secrets were piling up faster than the bodies.
But someone had other plans. They wanted to play a new game.
Becky Holt was the love of his life until he found out what she was hiding. Now he wants to seek his revenge in the most daring way.
Deke Biggs has always been a shark. He's not afraid to kill, and he's about to become her worst nightmare.
But there's a new player, and she plans on taking everything, no matter what the cost.
Try to beat him- If You Dare!
Who will win and who will lose?

- Reviewed in the United States on December 11, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseIntense heat, shocking twists and edge of your seat suspense that will leave you addicted to their depravity. It’s dark and sexy. This series is so many things and I loved them all! I could not get enough. I have read this before, but it was even better the second time around as I binged all the way through and fell in love with this series all over again.
I DARE YOU
This story is such a roller coaster ride and I loved every minute! Love, deceit, suspense and forever. I was totally consumed from the first page to the last.
Cole is complex. You will love him and love to hate him. He’s broody and weighed down with his own pain. Cole wants revenge. They will pay in blood. He has an ultimate plan and he just found the perfect pawn.
Austin stumbled upon something she never should have seen. Now she’s become their target and a pawn. She’s new in town. Her father took her in to finish her senior year after her junkie mother decided she was done parenting. She has no idea what she’s walked into, but she’s not backing down from anyone.
Cole and his friends, aka The Sharks, always have a motive. They run the town because wealth opens doors and keeps them trouble free. Challenging one another with dares is what they do. Nothing is off-limits. Austin is about to be dragged into their mayhem.
The secrets run deep. So many players out for their own agenda. Revenge will be sought and it will be ruthless. All the while Austin will do her best to survive Cole because regardless of what he does to her, their chemistry is smokin’ hot! He never wanted her, but too bad his heart had other plans.
This story was twisted and told without remorse. Cole’s love was brutal and cruel at times, yet his feelings ran deep. Austin was a warrior. Cole met his match with the girl that never backed down. I was totally invested in their need for revenge and the truth. This story was complex and the author brought all the components together beautifully to give us the perfect ending to this dark romance. I cannot wait for more!!!
——————
I PROMISE YOU
The secrets you uncover will leave you shocked! Their story isn’t over. Everyone is hiding something.
Book two picks up with a flash back. The author will take us back to the beginning. You’ll get Cole, Deke and Bennett’s point of view. You will find out so many answers to questions that plagued you and secrets you didn’t even know existed.
Twists and turns galore. This story will keep you spinning. Even with so many secrets uncovered, their is more story to be told. No one does anything without a motive and some we have yet to uncover. However, the author left us open for more.
I was totally sucked into their world. It’s complex and dark. This recaps quite a bit of book one, but with Cole’s perspective and insight from Deke and Bennett. Their disclosures will leave you wanting more.
A thrilling suspense that will keep you at the edge until the last page. It’s definitely not over.
——————
IF YOU DARE
Fighting To Survive
The plot thickens and all the twists and turns will keep you spinning! I never knew what was next. Secrets abound. Everyone lies. The players get played. Payback is coming.
Cole and Deke take friendship and loyalty to a whole other level. Nothing is out-of-bounds, no risk too great. When either calls, the other comes running. They are bound as brothers. Their connection runs deep. Everyone who hurts their loved ones will pay dearly.
Becky went off the rails. She was twisted and her own hatred for her sister was eating her alive. She couldn’t stop plotting and scheming to hurt her. Her need for vengeance would seal her own fate. It’s time for her to pay for all her sins.
Through it all there was darkness and love. Deke was darkness. She was love. She embraced his need for revenge. She welcomed all of him. Together they found a family worthy of their devotion.
This is no fairytale. He is no prince. It’s dark and will keep you questioning everything. There was so much deception you were just waiting for the next bomb to drop. Accept the crazy because once Deke loves, it’s all-consuming. Buckle up...it’s a crazy ride.
——————
Short Story - Silence
A fun and sexy holiday read as Cole and Austin channel the Halloween holiday spirit at an old asylum. Old habits die hard as Cole’s possessive tendencies and Austin’s thirst for revenge take over. Lesson learned, never mess with the GSWs.
——————
Bonus Content
My favorite couples are living their HEA’s but Cole has a bad feeling that it’s not going to last. He’s just waiting for the proverbial shoe to drop and steal their happiness. With everything that has happened, they both struggle with losing what they finally have. Their love is dark and without limits. I will never get enough of this series.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2020Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI am so happy that this box set was released. The bonus content was amazing and was glad to read more about our favorite sharks! here is my individual reviews for each book.
I Dare You
Wow!!! What can I say. Austin and Coles story had me on edge from start to finish. There was so many things going on my head throughout the book....I couldn't stop until It was finished. Austin moves in with her dad her senior year in Collins Oregon her mother shipped her off, didnt want her. Then she meets Cole and she is forced into his world. This story is amazingly written. Cole is a complex character that i hated and loved. Austin is a bad ass and falls in love with the devil. It will make you angry, make you cry, them angry more. Then you'll smile. This is a definite must read you will be picking it right back up to read again.
I Promise You
FINALLY I get more of Cole and Austin. I LOVED reading from Dekes point of view throughout the book as well. I was iching to find out if the GWS would get pulled down and thrown in Jail. I loved how this story played out. Cole and Austin are moving on from her near death experience but their are still plenty of secrets between the GWS. I have so many questions after what I've learned about Deke and Becky and I must know more of their past. Honestly I'm scared for Becky. I will anxiously await for If You Dare. Shantel definitely did not disappoint. I love my GWS 🔥🦈
If You Dare
If You Dare is intense, sexy and page turning. It keeps you on the edge of your seat. I can not get enough of these sharks, their drama and the games that they play. If you haven't read I Dare You or I Promise You. I highly recommend them but you do not need to read them first before If You Dare, but it makes it all the better if you have. There are twists and turns around every corner. If You Dare is a epic read that will leave you wondering wtf did I just read and you definitely will not see it coming. A perfectly executed plot and well developed characters. I just love Deke. I'm so happy it's his turn for his story, and mind you he is everything your expecting and then some. It is dangerously dark and twisted. You will be left shocked and surprised as secrets are revealed and lies are uncovered. Definitely a one-click buy. I I can promise you won't want to miss Dekes story. Shantel Tessier, woman you never cease to amaze me. Your writing is BRILLIANT. Thank you for a amazing story.
Bonus: What can I say it's always a pleasure reading more about our main men! Thank you Shantel for this bonus. I love these characters so much and look forward to re reading them over and over again!
- Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2022Format: KindleVerified PurchasePossible SPOILERS
This collection follows a group of, well, high school seniors (but really not that convincingly) This group are aka the Great White Sharks. Their moniker is due to them being in the swim team and for their illegal and murderous activities. Each have secrets that can put the others in prison for a very long long time, so, their bonds are severed when two of these men, yes! (men..because none of the high school boys I went with could never be described physically or hold themselves as these characters do...OR...the boys I went with in high school were broken) Any hoo...when two Hs find love in the heroines they wanted to break, the GWS question their loyalties and begin to break their own rules. These Hs are emotionally dark, over the top dangerous, possessive, and over protective. They have every right to as they each deal with trauma. It was a blast to see the hs turn the Hs from bullies to marshmallow softies. One star down because it was difficult for me to accept these characters are high school students. They do "grow-up" but in my mind I made them college undergrads and then graduates. Oh well. I am looking forward to the next installment.

5.0 out of 5 stars Twistedly amazing box set
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseThis box set was amazing, just wow! It is definately dark and deliciously twisted. I loved all characters, especially both main charactersfrom the first book Austin and Cole. They were so intriguing and their relationship had so much chemistry, the emotions could easily be felt. But also the other ones were great and the story through out the books took a huge turn, which I didn't expect.
I can highly recommend it and can't wait to read more from this author!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Dare Trilogy by Shantel Tessier
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseWOW. This was something else. Hats off to Shantel Tessier - she truly is such a phenomenal story teller and just has this way with story development that stands out.
This trilogy follows a group of guys - the Sharks - who are trying to process a huge loss in the group through criminal activity, murder, corruptions, and downright bullying.
Que Austin - A girl born into poor circumsta who honestly, never had the best life with a mom and a dad who both only cared about money. Unfortunately,she fell into a wrong place wrong time scenario with the Sharks.
Cole, one of the Sharks, took a liking to Austin. He made it very clear to everybody in the school that Austin “belongs” to him. He is very possessive. Now, the way Cole goes about proving she is HIS is downright horrendous. If this was happening in my high school, I would be worried. I know highschoolers are mean, but this was a different level.
Now from here, there are so many twists and turns and so many things you didn’t see coming. Just when you thought you could predict what was happening, Shantel threw a curveball - like hats off to you 👏🏻
And it doesn’t end here, the second book is more of a continuation to add onto the story that was told in book one. It could have been added into book, one rather than being its own book but it did provide context for Deke and Becky’s story!
Now, the final book. WOW - just wow. What an ending. I don’t even know where to start. It follows Deke, Austin, and Cole, who are living life in Texas and trying to move on. The book is full of secrets and suspense, and the focus is on Deke's story, but other sharks are intertwined into the plot. It is a great read for those willing to take the risk. So I might leave it here and create a separate post diving into book three ✨

5.0 out of 5 stars One of my Favorite Series
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI can't gush about this boxset enough. ALL THE SHARKS IN ONE GORGEOUS PACKAGE!
The bonus content will leave you on the edge of your seat begging for more.
I Dare You
Read this, I Dare You.
I loved every second of it.
I was hooked from the beginning. Characters are amazing, Austin, is a bit of a badass, and has to be one of my favorite female characters. The GWS *swoon* Cole's takes the Alpha role to a whole new level I ABSOLUTELY LOVE him.
IDY is dark, angsty and sinfully delicious that'll rock you world with the secrets, lies and the truth.
*SIDE NOTE*
HERE AND NOW, IM CALLING DIBS ON DEKE. I CLAIM HIM.
I Promise You
You'll love this book, I Promise You
*I PROMISE YOU IS NOT A STANALONE YOU HAVE TO READ I DARE YOU BEFOREHAND*
I Promise You is told mostly in Cole's POV, with some chapters dedicated to Deke's POV.
I Promise You offers all the dark, angsty, sinfully deliciousness as I Dare You.
Secrets are revealed, but also more lies and deceit. THE DRAMA! LOVE IT!
I didn't think it would get much better that I Dare You, man was I wrong.
Can't wait for If You Dare!
If you Dare
FIVE STARS ISN'T ENOUGH!
If You Dare is deliciously dark and twisted.
The Third installment of the Dare series dose not disappoint.
Deke's story takes it too a whole new level, just when you think you know, you don't.
There's not too much I can say without spoilers, just know that when you pick up IYD you won't be able to put it down.
