Kindle Notes & Highlights
She’s exactly the sort of woman I usually take one long look at and then mentally enter into my little black book of DO NOT EVER CONTACT AGAIN.
What a bitch
EVIE: I’ll meet you. But please try not to bite my head off this time. UNKNOWN NUMBER: Where would the fun be in promising that?
I woke up in a sweat the moment her pink lips touched mine. It was ridiculous, and I blame it on my late-night texting with her. I didn’t mean to flirt.
Mhmm yeah suuuuuuuuure
And then Jacob says something that has me halfway falling in love with him. “Oh, by the way, there are chocolate chip muffins in the kitchen if you’re hungry.”
Husband material
“And just what am I supposed to tell Tyler when he gets here to see you?” I stare at her, my mouth falling open a little. This woman is unbelievable. “Tell him if he had been on time, he would have been able to watch my butt walk away himself.”
Okay. Where is that nice waiter? I need to find him and ask him to hold me back before I jump over this table and fistfight my parents.
“I think she would have liked to come.” I flip my turn signal and move into traffic, pretending not to be overly curious about Sam’s statement. “Oh yeah? Why do you think that?” “Because she peeks at you as much as you peek at her.”
I want to stop it. I need to stop it. She’s too young for me.
Age is just a number!
When it comes to Evie Jones, I am nothing but a blob of insecurity.
Stop
I don’t want to push Evie away anymore. I’ve been trying and it’s not working. If she’s up for a friendship, so am I. But only friendship.
Yeah. Said every man in romance novels...
I’m ten years old, and she’s the cutest girl in class. I’m begging her to accept my Valentine heart, and she’s staring at it like it’s poison.
“Turns out, I’m…not good at having female friends since my divorce. Especially beautiful and single ones.”
Whaaaaaaaaaat??????
JAKE: Good to know. Come hungry today. I’m going to feed you pancakes before you guys start your session. EVIE: Do you talk this dirty to all your female friends? JAKE: Just you.
My eyes narrow on a book beside his bed, and my greedy little fingers snatch it up. What does a man like Jake read before he goes to bed? Twilight?!
“Find anything interesting?” Jake’s voice sounds from behind me,
Embarrassing!
I am Ryan Gosling now. No one can touch my smoldering confidence. It’s all fake, of course, but she doesn’t need to know that.
When I get within arm’s reach, he slips his hand around to my lower back and pulls me closer. My hips land against his, and he grins playfully. “Fell right into my trap,” he whispers in my ear. I like being trapped with him.
Boobytrap!
“Just say the word and I’ll handcuff you to this swing.” He looks down at me with a big fat smirk. “Oh really? So, now I know you’re a butt girl and a little kinky.”
Kinkyyyyyyy
Truth is, I’m falling head over heels for this man,
Something happened and im head over heelssssssss
“Careful. I’m like a stray cat. If you feed me, I might keep coming back.” “That’s what I’m hoping for.”
“Don’t apologize. I was going to decline your offer to stay anyway.” He gives me a look that says he doesn’t believe me one bit. “Yeah, okay.” “I was! Jacob Broaden, I am a southern woman of great moral principle. If you think I can be easily seduced by your pretty blue eyes, you’ll be…exactly right. I was absolutely going to stay.”
It’s way too small, though. My feet are hanging off the bottom. She needs a king-sized bed like mine. Or maybe just mine…
