Too Hot to Handle (Romancing the Clarksons, #1)

by Tessa Bailey

What else could she have expected after committing arson?

whoaaaaa did not see that coming

Jasper Ellis

One of the main reasons she didn’t date was fear of rejection, fear of someone she actually liked seeing the worst in her. Or, worse, the best in her—and deeming it lacking.

…yeah

then

than

A man going back and meeting his wife all over again, while still retaining the memories of their original lifetime together.

he's so in love

So much effort, just for her.

whipped

being her closest confidant had become his life goal.

<3

“You ruined the sky for me today, Rita,” he said gruffly. “It’s flat-out mediocre without you up against it. I reckon it always will be now.”

“Figure out what you want and find a way to achieve it. No one can do it for you. Crying doesn’t help, and it’s making that black shit on your eyes run.”

the truth hurts

Aaron shifted on the log. “This should be interesting.” Glen threw up his hands. “My business license is expired.”

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Oh, yes. I see where the pain comes from. I want it to be my pain, too. Want you to give me half, so we can bear it together.

Jasper’s feet carried him around the island until he was in his favorite place: within reaching distance of Rita.

I would make a new bribe every day for the rest of my life if I thought staying here would make you happy.

so in love

I’m in love with you, Rita.

<3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

When a man loves a woman, didn’t he fight tooth and nail to keep her?

Why did her body—including her heart—fill with lead at the prospect of climbing back into the Suburban?

bc ur in loveeee

“Say it.”

"say it. out loud" "vampire" okay edward

I love you, Rita,”

FINALLY

“And…if you finding a home is all that comes from this trip, it was worth it. I think maybe there’s more for us four on the road, but the road ends for you here.

crying

she turned and ran. Toward Jasper. Toward her life.
