Kindle Notes & Highlights
I’m looking for my soulmate, just like the soulmates on my semi-popular podcast. I want forever. JP Cane can believe what he wants, but if there’s one thing I know for sure in this romance desert that is my life, he and I are so not meant to be.
I want to be surprised with flowers at my apartment door. Whisked away to somewhere I’ve never been. Thought of nearly every second of every day because I consume someone’s thoughts.
The Devil Wears Prada was a complete nightmare, by the way. What kind of shit ending was that?”
I agree with this 100%
“Uh, everything okay up here?” Helix asks from the stairs, startling me right out of my chair and onto the floor with a loud plop.
Lottie has this hourglass shape that any woman would kill for. Hips and tits, that’s her.
What he should’ve said the moment he saw you was how fucking breathtaking you look, how the yellow in your dress makes the gold in your eyes sparkle even brighter. He should’ve lifted your hand and pressed the lightest of kisses to your knuckles, just so he could claim you in front of everyone around him. His eyes never should have strayed from yours. And when he lowered your hand, he should’ve taken one more step closer to you, leaned inches from your ear, and said how intoxicatingly beautiful you smelled.”
JP never did apologize for saying "I've seen better" but whatever, I forgive him
“I don’t care if your name is Junior Pooper, you’re going to listen to me.” Don’t laugh at Junior Pooper, do not laugh.
Because I want you to think I’m a good guy despite how I act. I want you to see that I like you, but am afraid to tell you because there’s a great possibility you will laugh in my face. I want you to give me a chance. To date me . . .
Don’t wear anything, instead stay here with me. Cancel the date. See me . . . Kelsey. Fucking see me.
I see you, JP
I’ve never had to try hard to get a woman to want me. And the first time I do, I’m rejected. Can I change her mind? Or is it a lost cause?
“I like you, Kelsey,” I say, just letting it all fly out. “I fucking like you, and I . . . I want to ask you out on a date, a real date.” Her mouth falls slightly open. “And I know this isn’t the best timing and that this is selfish of me because you’re about to go out on a date, but please, please don’t go out with him. Stay here, with me, be with me, give me a chance.”
“I had plans for tonight. I was going to take you to Parkside and tell you how much I like you and want to be with you. I know that’s hard to believe, given your first impression of me, but I swear, Kelsey, I swear I’m fucking ready for something more.”
“You don’t have to say anything, just don’t go out with him. I don’t think I could fucking take it. Your last date was when I drank myself stupid. That’s how long I’ve felt this for you. I don’t think I could survive tonight knowing he’s claiming you as his, holding your hand, making you laugh . . . kissing you. All I’ve wanted is to fucking kiss you, to taste your lips, to make you mine. I’ve wanted this ever since I met you, from the first moment I laid eyes on you, Kelsey. I knew you were special. I knew you were someone I had to get to know, that I wanted to be around. And, sure, I didn’t

“I think I’ve wanted you for a long time, and it took me walking away to confirm that.”
“I’ve wanted you for so long,” I whisper as I bring my mouth to the column of her neck. “And not just for sex. This isn’t just sex for me.” I lift up so our eyes meet. “Do you hear me? This isn’t just sex for me.”
The first inch—fuck, she’s warm, tight, perfect. The second, I feel my eyes nearly rolling to the back of my head. The third and fourth, my chest is heaving. The fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth, ninth . . . I nearly swallow my tongue. And when I bottom out, I exhale sharply.
She sighs into my kiss, and for the first time in as long as I can remember, I truly feel happy.
I was so disappointed because Lottie had ruined our pitch to Cane Enterprises,
I’ll never stop sticking up for Lottie on this. It was all Kelsey and Huxley’s fault.
what good that did.
this is weird
Unfortunately, her sister ruined the entire meeting
NO NO NO SHE FUCKING DIDN’T.
“What I’m about to say to you isn’t a moment in time to simply rectify our relationship. It’s me, speaking from the heart, letting you know how I feel, because I can’t go another day without you knowing.” He wets his lips and says, “I love you, Kelsey. I’m pretty sure I’ve loved you from the moment I watched your face fall during that first pitch. And I know, for the rest of my life, I won’t stop loving you, ever, because you were meant to be with me. I know, deep in my soul, to the very marrow of my bones, that you’re my girl, and I’ll spend the rest of my life proving that to you.”
she wasn’t able to pitch, which was her own fault AND HUXLEY’S for not telling Lottie that it was for the Canes
