“Could you put those things away?” I say crossly, waving a hand at her boobs. “They’re almost in my salsa.”

Fin smiles serenely at me. “I know this is hard for you to understand, B Cups, but the girls need air.” “What they need is scaffolding.”
😆
“I don’t want to spend time with you.” A muscle flexes in his jaw. He shakes his head, like he’s disappointed in me. “I don’t!” “You do. You’re fascinated by me. You just can’t wrap your head around why.”
Fascinated 🙄 our FMC is just inexplicably “fascinated” by our drop dead gorgeous MMC. Kinda feels like a cop out. A way to bring two characters together quickly and easily. They’re just so “fascinated” with each other 😖
Here’s the bottom line: I want you. You want me. End of story.” “I hope you won’t throw me out of the car again, but I have to tell you that your idea of romance is profoundly lacking.”
Okay, got a tiny lol from me, but Juliet’s vibes are just so alike other Geissinger FMCs 🫤 so far Jules isn’t standing out from the crowd
“I’d love to keep chatting, but I’d rather get type-2 diabetes.” “Admit it, lass. You think I’m charming.” “You’re as charming as a burning orphanage.”
Ah, more of that snark our MMC adores 🙄 because no one else in his life has the guts to be sassy with him 😑
brogue
Man…she uses this word a lot
we get it…he’s Irish 🙄
“If I ever did kiss you, it would only be to satisfy a morbid curiosity about what disappointment tastes like.” He roars with laughter.
“Why do you like it when I say things like that?” He’s still chuckling when he answers. “Because no one else would ever dare.”
“She’s just not like other women” 🤦🏼♀️ fml
“Because you…inexplicably…like me.” He reaches out and gently brushes his knuckles over my cheek. His gaze follows the path of his touch. He says softly, “It’s not inexplicable. I like you the way Newton liked gravity.” “I don’t know what you mean.” “Once he found it, everything else in the universe made sense.”
🤢
“She’s not as clear about her feelings as I am about mine.” Liam’s tone turns dismissive. “Then she’s daft.” “She’s not daft. She’s perfect. She can hardly stand the sight of me, and she doesn’t trust me for shit, and she mocks me every bloody chance she gets…” My sigh is heavy and hopeless. “And she’s perfect.”
“She’s not like other women” vibes are strong…and it’s not for me 🫤
“Like how dangerous? On a scale of driving while intoxicated to Darth Vader.” I answer without hesitation. “Darth Vader is a mama’s boy compared to him. He’s more like the love child of Lex Luther and Maleficent. Times ten thousand.”
Why does she choose this dialogue? Why does she make the FMC out to be a dolt? Why does she take away from the legitimate danger of the moment and their connection by making the FMC’s snark her entire personality?!
“Do you need a minute to take your heart medication, old man? Because I’m about to set this bed on fire.” My answer is a chuckle, dark and low. “Ah, lass. That smart mouth will be the death of me.”
“If one night is all I get, I’m damn sure gonna get every piece of you that you have to give.” “I—I can’t—it’s too much—” “You can. Be brave, baby. Come on. Give me everything.”
Okay, that’s hot 🔥
I am my mother’s daughter. We both have the same weakness for bad men. But unlike her, I’m nobody’s fool. I won’t surrender my heart, even if it kills me.
🙄
“How do you always know where to find me?” His voice achingly gentle, he says, “The same way a compass knows how to find true north.”
🤮 spoke too soon…
He whispers, “‘And where two raging fires meet together, they do consume the thing that feeds their fury.’” My voice comes out choked. “If you quote Romeo and Juliet to me one more time, I won’t be responsible for what happens.”
I’m sick of the references too 🙄
His normal voice is back. That rich, lilting Irish brogue,
We get it! Fuck off with the brogue!
“I want you to lie to me. Just this one lie. Just this once.” I moan, not understanding. He raises his head and looks at me with burning eyes. “Tell me you’re mine.”
Again, a hot Killian moment 🔥 if they can shut up with the Romeo and Juliet references we can actually get some nice heat!
