Kindle Notes & Highlights
God, she was beautiful. Standing there in the middle of the kitchen, singing the kind of off-key that made your ears bleed. But she was so free while doing it. I should’ve stayed in the doorway longer, really taken in all that was her.
So, when I couldn’t sleep last night, I’d picked up a book about a grumpy, single-dad cowboy who was falling for his nanny despite his heroic efforts not to.
TEDDY & GUS??!!
“Why are you putting up with me?” I asked, my voice little more than a hoarse whisper. Shep’s eyes locked with mine. “Because everything about you screams that you’ve been fighting alone for too damn long, Thorn.
I glanced at Moose, giving him a warning look. “Don’t be rude. You’ve had more than enough.” He barked at me. Because, of course, I’d found the only cat on the planet that barked.
WAIT THATS SO CUTE LMAO
Thea took a bite of the burger, and her eyes fell closed. She didn’t make a single sound, but her expression said it all. Pure pleasure coasted across her face. And I couldn’t help but think about that look in other sorts of circumstances.
I love how its still written respectful in a way
Russ scoffed. “Box Baby probably just wants to fuck you.” I whipped around to face him. “Excuse me?”
HE DID NOT JUST SAY THAT
I placed the bakery box in front of them so it wouldn’t get jostled. But as I threw a leg over my bike, I froze. How had Russ known I rode a bike?
LITERALLY
As Anson stepped up, he handed me a magazine. “This is what she was staring at. The cover. Might be nothing. Could be a clue.”
LMAO HE STOLE IT
It was the worst twist of fate to hear people celebrating the person who’d been your tormentor.
But it was so much more than that. It was Shep being there for me. Listening without judging. Trying to understand and help. If I wasn’t careful, I could fall for a man like Shepard Colson. I just wasn’t sure if he’d do the same with me. Not if he knew everything.
So, I met his stare and pulled out my wallet. Pawing through it, I tugged a one-dollar bill free and handed it to him. “Not going to do a striptease for you because you flashed me a single.”
LMAO
“Why don’t I open this,” I said, cutting in before anyone could start talking about moves and pinning or anything else. Lolli clapped her hands like a little kid. “Yes. Please.” I started ripping the brown butcher paper. Shep strode forward. “Lolli, tell me you didn’t.” My hands stilled as Lolli waved Shep off. “Oh, hush. Don’t ruin the surprise.” “Surprise?” I was suddenly very wary.
IS IT THE HORSE ONE LMAO
In three long strides, he was in front of me. “Don’t think I don’t want you there, Thorn. I want you wherever I can get you. Why do you think I’ve been coming to the bakery every day for months? I don’t even like sweets.”
I AM SCREAMING
I stepped inside and closed the door behind me before leaning against it. “Tell me what those pretty little fingers are doing, Thorn.” Her pale green eyes flashed in the moonlight. “What your fingers wouldn’t.”
OK
No. I wasn’t okay. Not because Brendan knew where I lived or because he wasn’t leaving me the hell alone, it was for another reason entirely. One that brought all my fears roaring back to life. “Shep, he knows who you are.”
LITERALLY
Cold metal pressed into my side from the back seat, making me jerk. “Eyes forward. Keep driving. I’d hate to put a bullet in your spleen.” It was more snarl than voice. But it wasn’t male. I tried to turn to see who it belonged to, because there was something slightly familiar about it. But the metal object jabbed into my ribs. “I said eyes on the road, slut. Or maybe I’ll go for your heart right here and now.”
MARA???
“Raina?” I croaked.
WHAAAATT???
