Loving War (Sterling Shore, #4)

by C.M. Owens

The second choice sister. That’s me. And I’m so sick of it.

I don’t think i’ve ever cried so much for a romance heroine 🥺

“If I want reality, I’ll walk outside and breathe in the toxic air, dammit. I’ll take a look at my own miserable life. If I read or watch a movie, I’d better get a fucking happily-ever-after.”

exactly how i feel about books give me. a shipley ever after no matter how unrealistic

She underestimates how much I cared about Kode. They all do. I’m sure not even he understands it.

i litterally hate them

Kode had moved forward, Dane and I are together, and you were happy. I fucked it all up by going crazy.”

no arguments there reread november 26: Eh still no arguments here but I more or less understand why she did what she did, she did deserve to know about the letter but i still hate her so

He told Maverick that he wasn’t making up with me until he made up with you. Says he’s never letting you think you come second again.”

Since Kode hated you for a while, I’m pretty sure he knows you’re not perfect, and he loves you anyway.”

“Don’t do that. Don’t justify my actions.” “Oh, I’m not. Believe me, it’s not that easy, Kode. I’m still royally pissed at you for what you did and for keeping it a secret. Doesn’t mean I had the right to dump the shit on you that I did.”

no arguments glad she aknowledges it i still heavily don’t like her

She just doesn’t get it. She’d understand completely if Dane had been in love with me for eleven years before finally noticing she even existed.

exactly and to my heart hurts for her so fucking much it’s crazy

It’s hard to plot murder and force a smile for Tria’s sake.

I think they’re all trying to keep me in place so that I don’t go drop to my knees in front of Tria and beg like a motherfucking baby for her to take me back.

“Dude, you just went postal over a guy who really isn’t looking at Tria in that way,” Tag jokes.

When Leo smiles like a fool with a crush, my anger flees to make room for relief. “Fuck yes,” I breathe, sagging back into a relaxed state.

IMFAHXXGBV

“Dude, you’re so far gone that it’s almost disgusting,” Maverick says,

Corbin asked me to ask you, and it pissed me off. I didn’t want you having to deal with that, so I went and took Dale with me so I didn’t do something stupid. Did I screw up?” His question is so sincere, that I almost launch myself into his arms.

🥺 hes perfect

“I have to go to the bar. I’ll be back,”

this is annoying. i think this third act conflict was needed however i don’t like how she’s doing too much pushing. she’s making it extremely hard for me to read this makeup is taking too damn hard especially bc she wants him. what more can he do to show you that he wants YOU.

Yeah… I’m fairly positive this is one of the few times I’ve ever blushed in my life, and the sounds of people choking, gasping, or laughing has me turning even redder. I’m kicking her ass.

“For hiring that guy to fuck with Tria that night at the bar. It was clever; I’ll give you that.”

LOVE THAT 😭😭😭😭😭😬

“Early erectile dysfunction isn’t common, but it’s manageable with the appropriate medicine.”

TGGVGG. VHVUBY Y Y YUOPIOOOOOOO

Now that you’re mad, come fuck me like you hate me.
