Taming the Heart (Crimson Ridge #3)

by Elliott Rose

“Didn’t pick you as one for the sappy, romantic movies. What with all that ET conspiracy stuff you fixate on.” “I’m a sucker for a grand gesture. You know the scene in the movie where the girl thinks it’s all over, that she’s down for the count… and then…” “And then what?” “It’s silly. It’s not one thing in particular… but it’s that energy of the moment, you know? The romance of it all. The willingness to lay yourself bare for someone, to leave it all out on the field and risk it all. That’s the high stakes of one character offering up their heart to another. You know it’s pure romance when it sends chills down your spine and makes your stomach flip.” “Sounds more like you’re describing a horror movie.” “Shut up. Of course, you would think that, Mr. Virgo. But some of us are romantics at heart. The best movies have the grand gestures. That’s what I want for my life. I’m not going to be the girl who settles for mediocre.” “No. No, you’re not, Sage.”
