Hunter (Reynolds Protective, #2)

by Rebecca Sharp

“Baby, I’m sorry for all the men who abandoned you when they should’ve protected you. And I’m sorry for all the men who made you believe that protective men only existed in books.”

“The last thing Dad said to me before we walked back to his car was that there will always be parts of life—parts of us that are broken. We can either choose to try and bury those parts or till them; we can either try and hide our weaknesses or turn them over, breathe life into them, build on them and grow them into strengths.”

“I don’t want to be your book boyfriend or your hero, Zoey; I want to be your mountain. I want to be the thing you know will always be there no matter what—the one you can always trust.”

“And the mountains don’t wait for the clouds to clear or for the thunder to stop in order to stand tall, so I’m not going to wait for Roscoe to leave or for us to find your stalker before I tell you that I love you. Before I tell you that you aren’t the center of my world, you are my world.”
