Forever Lies (The Five Families #1)

by Jill Ramsower

In romance novels, having an older executive pursue the young professional sounded sexy and exciting, but when my fifty-five-year-old boss with a fake-and-bake tan and leathery skin started hitting on me, it was repulsive and unsettling.

Stooooooop LOL “fake and bake” 😂😂😂😂

I didn’t have a ton of friends, which was fine with me. I had two sisters and three female cousins—that was plenty of girl drama in my life.

LOL

I may have been a hot mess emotionally, but I was one damn good-looking hot mess.

Sameeeeeeee girl

It made me livid to think about what might have happened if I hadn’t been following her.

Ok Mr. Stalker…not sure if I’m getting that sort of vibe though aside from, this comment…

On my way back to my building, the sensation of being watched crept into my awareness, just as it had a few days earlier. Rather than trying to be discrete, I stopped mid-step and spun around, searching the street behind me.

2nd time she gets this feeling…i forgot i was reading a stalker book LOL

“Does the stalking mean you consider me a winning hand?” I asked coyly. “Baby, you’re a royal flush.”

Oh so we can acknowledge he is a stalker and he is not denying it LOL

I loan people money, just like any other banker. People don’t have to accept my terms. They want a lower rate, go to a credit union—I’m not forcing anyone into anything. The law says, because I’m willing to take a risky bet and lend money to someone with shit credit, I’m a criminal. If a stockbroker makes a risky trade, would you call him a criminal? No. I’m not a saint, but I’m not the devil you’re making me out to be.”

Welp I’d accept these terms and move on hahahahahah. My fav color is red 😂
