Kindle Notes & Highlights
We need fluff; it’s the insulation from the harsh world around us. Don’t let anyone make you feel ashamed for reading fluffy romances.
For all the readers who think you aren’t loveable. I know you’ve hidden yourself away, you protected that spark deep inside your heart, the one that burns with the light of your true self. It’s time to let that spark ignite. The real you is exactly what the world needs.
Oh, ho. Not only was this book a romance novel, it was a really fucking dirty one.
She moved her finger to flip the virtual page, but her hand froze when I leaned forward and whispered in her ear. “Wait a second. I’m not done with that page yet.”
She was fucking beautiful.
“Enséñales cómo se dice ‘tiene el trasero increíble pero no tiene huevos.’”
Liar. She’d just announced to half the party that I had an incredible ass but no... guts.
“Nope. When I take a woman to bed, there’s nothing quick about it. I like to take my time to tease, taste, make you tremble.”
“My hero would totally do this.”
“You’re just finally playing in her league instead of trying to get her to play in yours.” My Tempest was in a league of her own. And with her, I was playing in the pee-wees.
But if there was one thing I knew how to do, it was up my game. Come class next week, I was going to be on the varsity get-the-girl team.

“Story of my life. The ones I’m not trying to impress love me, and the ones I am...” He looked up at me, his expression suddenly serious. “Well, jury’s still out on that one.”
my queen.”
“What happened to the love at first sight story?” His smile widened. “I fell first, and harder. The best way to go, kid.”
my queen.”
“And what if I’m not flirting with you? What if every single thing I say and do, is because I genuinely like you and want to get to know you?”
“Can’t say I blame him. I don’t want to share you with anyone else either.”
“Just so we’re clear,” he murmured against my ear, “I’m not giving up that easily. Not even for a jealous donkey.”
“I think she looks perfect exactly how she is,” I said firmly, meeting Catalina’s eyes.
“Actually,” I said, loud enough for everyone to hear, “I think Tempest’s body is both perfect and sexy as hell.” I turned to look directly at her. “I’m hot for her because of her curves, not despite them.”
“She’s not an afterthought to me.”
“I very much want to see all of you, Tempest.”

I can’t tell you how goddamned turned on I am to know I’m the only man who ever gets to have this with you.”

sweet queen.”
“Because I wanted to show you that I see you,” I said honestly. “The real you. Not just the Tempest who aces Shakespeare classes or rescues donkeys, but the one who lights up when she talks about literature. The one who notices details others miss. The one I can’t stop thinking about.”
“I’m not saying I’ve got everything figured out,” I continued. “But I’m done pretending I don’t have feelings for you. That I’m not falling for you.”
“You’re mine now, Navarro,”
my girl.”
my queen.”
“You come first. Always. Got it?”
my queen.”
I was so fucking in love with her.
Loving her wasn’t scary. It was the easiest, most natural thing I’d ever done.
“My queen,
I’m a D1 athlete about to go pro. I’ve been training my body my entire life. I’m not some breakable toy. If I’m not man enough to have my girl ride me like a cowgirl, I don’t know what I have all these muscles for.”
“Be a good girl and come hard on my cock.”
You don’t need to fight someone’s battles for them. Just make sure they don’t fight alone.

Embraces. Not judges, not tolerates. Embraces.
“The world is always going to try to tell you how much space you’re allowed to take up. Too loud, too quiet, too big, too much. But here’s the thing, the only person who gets to decide that is you.”
“Courage isn’t the absence of fear. It’s action in the face of it.
Romance novels are—” “Joy,” Abuela interrupted firmly. “They are joy and hope and the promise that everyone deserves love. Even girls who look like us, who take up space, who have curves and opinions and don’t fit into little boxes.”
