Kindle Notes & Highlights
Dedicated to every single one of us who has ever dreamed of being the heroine in a small-town cowboy romance. May Brody Steele and Cherry Peak help fill that void.
There are few things I hate in this world as much as a thong. Between the string trying to crawl inside of me with every shift of my thighs and the perpetual feeling of having a wedgie, I’m usually stuffing any I’ve been peer pressured into buying into the back of my drawer. Panty lines? I embrace them. They’re better than having my butt cheeks flossed.
She curls her fingers into fists. “Either way, I want to string that guy up a flagpole by his tiny balls!”
17805559540: Yes. 17805559540: What do I have to do to get plus one approval?
“You talk a lot of smack for a virgin,” Caleb tosses back.
Maybe I should get a cat.
“Please be welcoming, or I’ll have you hanging on the pole for the entire class,” Poppy threatens, coming up to my other side.
Something tells me that becoming their friend will be one of the better decisions I’ve made in my most recent years.
“Brody is all bark and no bite. Don’t worry about all the scowling.” I highly doubt that, but instead of saying exactly that, I look at Brody and smile saccharinely. My next words just explode from my mouth before I can think twice about them. “My sister’s a vet, so I’m not afraid of rabid animals.”
Hate at first sight. How romantic.
“You’re arrogant.” “You seem to bring that quality out of me, sweetheart.”
Moving on from heartbreak is never easy, but surrounding yourself with people who care about you and want to see you happy sure does make it easier.
It’s no wonder we butt heads so much. We share one of the most polarizing traits.
“My grandmother would kick my ass if I let you continue to walk in this weather.
My chest is twisted up, and before I notice what’s happening, I’m grinning at her. Grinning like I haven’t just complicated my life with a woman who three days ago made me want to shout into a pillow.
The drive is as quiet as every other I’ve taken before today, and I find myself missing her chatter the entire time.
I can take care of myself, but I also deserve to be taken care of if I wish to be. Truly taken care of.
Even before learning that she was sitting out in the cold, her car dead and hearing those tears in her voice, I was sprinting away from my grandfather mid-lecture and toward my truck.
A half hour later and I’m in disbelief of how easy it is to bring a dead car battery back to life.
I’m not the woman who’s going to pretend she doesn’t like a jealous man.
“As a matter of fact, I was far too pissed at you to spend my night researching you.”
You don’t meet a woman like Annalise Heights and not make her yours.
I met my dream woman twice and still took this fucking long to make a move.
He could convince a nun to sin just for the slight glance at his smile.
I grew up around stallions and bulls, so trust that I can weather a few days of attitude while you’re hurtin’.”
“It’s a good thing that I don’t want to brush her aside, then. I’m dancin’ with my woman, Rita. End of conversation.”
As far as I’m concerned, that’s been your seat since the first time you sat in it.”
And the last, I beg him to say. Tell me you’ll be the only one to do these things for me. For a long time to come.
“I think that if I’m not careful, it would be so easy to love you.”
“It’d be easier to fall in love with you, Annalise Heights. And I’ve never been a fan of careful.”
“Don’t apologize for speakin’ the truth. Not ever.”
Brody was born to ride Sky, two best friends bound together by nature itself.
