Kindle Notes & Highlights
Some things happen simply because they happen. And in the end knowing why doesn’t change a damn thing anyway. The damage is already done.
I’m anything but innocent. My soul is lost. My heart cold. I’m a devil in angel’s skin, trapping a man for life who could have any woman he wants but for some reason wants me.
“I may be completely out of line saying this, but anyone who marries that woman can’t be worthy of you.”
“When life hands you lemons, you don’t make lemonade. That’s for pantywaisters. No. You pucker up, suck them dry, then throw the used rinds back in life’s face with a giant fuck-you and a gesture for more.”
“It’s the way I’ve imagined you looking at me my entire life, Maverick.”
I gave him everything and he gave me away.
“I want to kiss these fucking lips, Maverick. And not a kiss of a boy who has been friends with a girl for almost thirty years. But as a lover. I want to bite and suck and own and devour. Whenever I want. However I want.”
“I like to think we all end up in the place we’re supposed to be eventually,” Sheila answers wistfully. “The sum total of our choices carries us to our destiny.”
“While he was the sun that lit your world, you were the darkness that shadowed mine.”
“Why what, Swan?”
“Why anything? Why are you here with me? Why do you want me? Why did you marry me?” Please explain it to me, because I just don’t get it. I don’t deserve it. I never have. He simply shakes his head as if I’m the densest person on the planet. “Because I have enough love for the both of us. I always have.”
“I thought Killian’s love defined me, but your love changed me forever. I’m so sorry it took me so long to figure that out.” Oh hell…that was pretty profound and romantic.
