Kindle Notes & Highlights
Why did she have to be so beautifully sad?
Silas could ignite my fiery spirit like no one else. In bed, it was amazing. Elsewhere, things could get dicey. We were either perfectly in sync or at each other’s throats.
Karma was a bitch and she wasn’t a Felicity fan.
I needed some space to come to terms with the fact that Silas Grant was not the man I’d thought he was.
Breathtaking. He was breathtaking.
Silas’s smile transformed his face. Dimples broke across his cheeks. His eyes warmed and crinkled. Those soft lips parted, revealing his flawless white teeth.
She wanted to be friends. How the fuck was I going to manage that? One look at her stunning face and my pulse would race.
I loved that she felt everything deeply, the good and the bad, even though she worked hard to hide it from the world. She was a master at pushing people away to avoid getting hurt. It came so naturally to her, most of the time I wondered if she even knew she was doing it.
Because now that she was back in Montana, I wasn’t letting her go. I’d play it slow and steady. Put in the time. But one day she’d be mine. Just like she was always meant to be.
I wanted his arm around my chair. I wanted to be the one cooking his favorites. I wanted to be the one finishing his sentences.
When my eyes locked with hers, I almost forgot what we were talking about. Those eyes would be my undoing. Even in the darkness I could make out their bright blue. I could go blind and still see them clear as day.
“He was never the right one. He just asked her first.”
I would not run. Not again. I was not my father.
And I had become an expert at leaving others before they could leave me.
For years, I had compared every boyfriend against Silas and none of them had ever measured up.
I was thirty-six years old and this would be my last chance to win Felicity’s heart. I couldn’t risk rushing things and fucking up my chance.
We’d do this friend thing until then, because once she set foot on the Lucky Heart, I was making her mine.
“Lis,” he said gently, “you don’t need to stifle yourself to make friends. That spirit you have? It’s what makes you special. Don’t smother that fire because you think others won’t like it. They’ll be drawn to it, just like I am. And if I ever hear you compare yourself to Andrea Merkuso again, I’ll take you over my knee.”
This time around, I wanted her to finally choose me just because I made her happy.
For those who cross under this sign, may your hearts be lucky in love and in life.
Because no matter where she ran, I’d be racing right after her.
I’d never had a thing for cowboys before, and even though Silas was as cowboy as they came, he rarely dressed the part. But from now on, whenever I needed a happy thought, I was picturing him exactly like this.
Silas the Cowboy was off-the-charts sexy.
“Now what?” Now you tell me that I’m the man you want. Now you kiss me again. Now I pick you up and carry you to the couch, where those clothes will come off and I’ll spend the next two days buried inside you.
“I just want to remember what you look like tonight. You’re so beautiful, Lis. And all mine.”
“I love that you get all shy when I give you a compliment,” he said into my hair. “But don’t hide that smile from me, Lis. I live for it.”
I’ve told you this a million times: don’t stifle your spirit.
“Having you back, holding you in my arms, makes all the pain worth it.”
I buried my face back in his chest and nodded. We were happy, and given time, things were bound to get easier. I just had to keep telling myself that.
“The most beautiful pair of eyes in the world. I’d do just about anything to make them shine like that.”
If he picks a fight with you, he picks a fight with me.”
“Now what?” She smiled against my skin as she asked the familiar question. “Whatever you want.” “I want babies,” she declared. I chuckled at her bluntness. “Then stop taking those pills and I’ll give you babies.”
“Life with you will never be boring, will it?”
“Just because you weren’t here, doesn’t mean you weren’t here.”
“Silas, you love that place.” “Felicity, I love you more.”
“Anything else?” She smiled and my heart skipped. “I’m sure I’ll think of something.” Yeah, she would. Life would never be dull or boring with my Lis. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.
