Please note: This review is for the whole story, not just the epilogue. This review may be fairy long, but I really hope you read it.

First things first; what a whirlwind of a story! (I mean that in a good way.) You truly have a talent, and obviously a passion, for writing. I will definitely make sure to read all of your future stories. Additionally, the rate at which you released chapter was amazing, even after you had to start actually writing them. 300 000 words in under a year is just absolutely astounding.

Granted, some things were absolutely obvious, like Mia and Blake being dating in secret. If you hadn't picked that up, you obviously weren't a romance fanatic :D. There were some things that truly took me by shock, though. For example, when Alex was revealed to like Tristan. When Adam and Alex had first started dating, I had expected that to happen. However, when it got to the last chapter I had given up on that thought. When it was revealed in the last little bit, I was truly shocked. I felt sad, and physically sick to my stomach at the time. (Granted, I was going on four hours sleep, and was already extremely emotional, contributing to the physically sick part.)

That brings me onto the next point, your ability to manipulate the audience's emotions is amazing. Your writing style really gets you in the characters heads. It allows us as readers to almost feel the emotion from the story. At time I was almost squeeing, and then the next chapter I went to crying. Then the next chapter I went to punching my bed. (Yes, I actually punched my bed and my pillow a few times.)

Then I was feeling physically sick. I felt like I was watching as the characters slowly destroyed their own lives. I watched as Ro lost control and had sex with Tristan. I watched as she felt like a whore and a slut. The sad thing was, I knew that this was real. This stuff happens in real life, and I know that feeling of self hate. Perhaps that made it easier for me to relate to the characters, and therefore easier for the story to bring me to tears and make me sick. I watched on as Tristan walked away from some of the best things that had happened to him. I watched as characters' relationships were torn apart. I had this feeling of hopelessness within me as I read the story, knowing that the characters were destroying their own lives, and there was nothing I could do to change it.

I also wanted to tell you that I admire you for making this an M rated story. Making it an M rated story DOES decrease your number of readers. I feel, though, this due to the nature of the characters and the plot, this story needed it. Without being able to actually read as Ro was seduced I don't think we, as readers, could understand her lack of self worth otherwise. I admire that you made it an M rated story, as it made the story better in trade for having a lower amount of viewers. I don't swing that way, but I'm still thankful that you put 'those' scenes in there.

I LOVED the ending, both to the first part and the second. I felt like I wanted to cry, squee, punch my bed and vomit all at the same time. I love that you were brave enough to make it a sad ending. Usually readers will hate on sad endings, but I do the opposite. No matter what people say, the part that you remember most about a story is usually the ending. Having a cliche, happy ending simply makes the story less memorable.

Don't get me wrong, happy endings can be good too, as long as they are done right. I feel that more and more stories I'm reading have these cliche, boring happy endings. Other times the story suddenly launches from depressing to a happy ending. I don't know if it's just me, I don't think it is, but I hate that. If you're going to write a happy ending, or any ending at all really, it has to be unique. (Well, unique enough, no story can be absolutely unique.) I don't wanna read the same ending I've read 15 times before. Having said that, a sad ending doesn't always make the story good. You can't just plonk a sad ending in for no reason. (Like someone suddenly dying of cancer or something.) I feel that the ending has to flow with the rest of the story. That is definitely what your story did. The characters were slowly destroying themselves and coming to terms with the fact that they weren't 'meant to be.' A sad ending suited, and you nailed it.

After saying all that, though, I started thinking about the sequel. I truly feel sorry for the characters; they've been through so much. I want to feel hope for them. I want to really know that one day their life will get better, whether together or alone. That might just be me trying to comfort myself, but I don't know. So, I'm hoping for a happy ending for the sequel... :)

OH AND PLEASE LET ADAM AND TRISTAN RECONCILE! Adam was like my fave character... it broke my heart seeing him torn apart like that. T_T T_T T_T

Anyway, it's about time I stopped there. That's the longest review (on Fictionpress that is) I've ever done in my life; over 5000 characters, wow. And trust me, I've read a lot of stories. You're story inspired me to write all that. It really hit home for me. I will be waiting for updates on the sequel!

Love your story, Anonymous.
jst me chapter 19 . 12/15/2011
OMG I cried Thts so sad I cnt wait to finish it
CMTaylor chapter 42 . 12/13/2011
SERIOUSLY...SERIOUSLY? Tristan and Roxy didn't end up together after everything they have been through? I mean Tristan helped raise Roxy's siblings and took care of them and she just tosses him aside. I'm pissed...not at you...but at your characters...lol! I've been rooting for them the whole time. Yes, Tristan is an ahole most or maybe all the time, but he loves Roxy...love is enough in my book ;)

I for one am not a Tommy fan. Yes, he is an Army boy, a hero, sweet, nice, but he is NOT Tristan. I was secretly hoping Tommy was killd in action...I know not very nice, but I want Roxy with Tristan. I hope you make things work for them in the Sequel. I'm not sure I can read a whole other story with Roxy with Tommy and Tristan with someone else...but I'm still going to read it either way because I'm hooked :)

Stupid Alex...never liked her from the beginning. Seriously Adam is turning out to be one of my favorite characters and I call my daughter Addie so I love him even more b/c of his nickname :)

Anyway, hurry up and work on writing the Sequel! Love this story and your writing style is very unique which I love :)

I have seriously just read this whole story in the span of 2 days instead of studying for finals which is stupid I know, but DAMN girl...I would literally finish a chapter then I would start writing my paper, but I would keep thinking about what could possibly happen next and jeezzzz, there are not enough words to describe what I am feeling!

And please if Tommy dies I might just have a coronary! Please let him come back home. At first I was all for Tristan, but after he left Roxy in London he kinda turned into an asshole. Now I'm not saying he doesn't deserve happiness, but please not with Roxy. Her and Tommy are meant to be together! Usually I side with the narrator which was mostly Tristan, but I've liked Tommy ever since he was first introduced.

So yeah, sorry for ranting, I'm just a bit wound up at the moment. I just wanted to say that this story was wonderful and thank you for putting in so much time and effort and sharing such a great story with us. It is much appreciated! :)

AHHHH, Ok you are AWESOME! she is not pregnant! thank god!.. i was so worried it would just become like every other cliche story and movie.. and now you would be a hero in my book if you put tristan and Roxy back together.. They are sooo meant to be.. Hell the freaking titles is about them.. And i am hoping that the sequel, the title is also about them.. I hate when a story's title is misleading.. Don't you.. hint hint. lol. Anyways so glad with the direction it is going in.. Even if Tommy is still alive.. i can live with that as long as he moves the hell out of tristan's way. hahahahaha. but seriously i miss my fav, couple! Roxy is stupid and doesn't deserve Tristan but i want him to have a happy ending.. and if she ends up unhappy becuase lost Tristan then i would laugh. cause she deserves it for sleeping with tommy.. which by the way was.. EWWWWWWWYYYYYYY! lol. Anyways can't wait for the sequel but i really hope it isn't a tommy and Roxy story.. blah.. i don't think i could stomach it.. Sorry.

WOOHOO!

TOMMY IS ALIVEEEEE. AHH. OMG.

Ugh, I love Tommy.

But Tristan is moving to Japan? *le sigh* He just can't stay still can he? Lol.

But yay! A sequel. I can't wait. I'm in love with this story.

I just simply can't get enough.

But Adam has changed so much. :( I still feel bad for him about Alex. (I never liked her much anyway.)

He's more like Tristan now, which is ironic since he hates Tristan now.. huh.

Anyway. I'll be waiting for that sequel.

I’ve decided that I’m going to review as I read, it’s easier that way :) “Signing out with my last ever author's note for Dare You To Love Me...” I’m not even going to lie, there are tears right now. If I don’t read on, that means it’s not ending.

Natasha is right, Adam is starting to sound like Tristan. I thought that as soon as I started reading. Porno model, omg Adam I love you. Abercrombie and Fitch models are the best type of models.

OH MY GOD, ADAM WHAT HAVE YOU TURNED INTO? Blonde, gonorrhoea infested, preppy girls? What a way to rebound, seriously.

I secretly hope that Roxanne is lying about getting her period because I want her to be pregnant but then I keep forgetting that she is 19 and that’s bad, lmao. & Natasha and Dale? What happened between them? I wanted them to get together :(

TOMMY IS ALIVE. THAT IS ALL I’M GOING TO SAY. What a perfect way to end this! absolutely perfect. But now I’m upset because I’ve got nothing to do with my life :(

I’m just going to cry now, okay. Just going to cry.

Is this how the whole story ends cause I'm kinda depressed right now. I so did not see Alex being such a bitch I mean I liked her but then she messed with Addie and Tristan and that's just not ok. There has to be more please! 3 :)
