REED!!!!!!!!

If there is an actual man that this character is modelled after... Yummmmmm... I want him!!

So far, this is the best book of the series. Hands down. Beth is such a sweetheart. She reminds me of Mia with a kink lol. The pain from her past weighs heavily on her heart but she doesn't allow that to stop her from hoping for happiness. And Reed?! This man is sweet and sexy personified! He has pain from his past as well. It kind of stunted his emotional development for 9 years. But Beth cures all of his ailments. And I love that Reed was a freak! I loved him in the first two books and I'm so happy to read his beautiful story.

This book had some pretty freakin hilarious moments. I laughed so hard during the men's/women's washroom scene. These couples are too much I swear!!

Fave quotes:

“I’m a smart guy when I’m thinking with my dick, but when I allow the weakest part of me to get involved, I’m the dumbest motherfucker on the planet.
My heart isn’t mixed up in this. It’s not even in the damn state right now."

“I can’t handle not knowing everything about this woman. The good, the bad, the fucking ugly shit she gets quiet about. I want all of it, and I want her to feel like she can give it to me.”

“I want this,” he says, moving his finger along my cheek, tucking some of my hair behind my ear. “Whatever this is between us, I want it. I can’t stop thinking about you. I haven’t been with anyone else since you kissed me that first time. I don’t want to be.”
I smile, leaning into his hand as it caresses my face. “I want this too. So much.”
He stares at me thoughtfully, looking all over my face. “Beth, I’ll never hurt you, but you could very easily hurt me. I can’t want you more than I want you right now. I can’t. What we’ve been together when it’s just been us, that’s what I’m offering you.” His other hand cups my face. He inches me closer. “You and me. You understand?”

“There’s something about listening to Beth tell someone else she’s mine. Something so fucking right about it, like she’s always been meant to say it. Like I’ve been waiting my whole life to hear it. I don’t just want Mia to know, I want everyone to know. People I don’t even give a shit about.”

“God, Beth, I wanted all of you from the beginning, from that first night at the bar. I never wanted anything less. I never will. When I didn’t say it back, it wasn’t because I didn’t love you. I was realizing I did. I was realizing that for the past nine years, it wouldn’t have mattered if I was scared to love again or not. I could’ve dated those women, I could’ve kissed them, but nobody would’ve made me fall except you. It’s only ever been you, Beth.”

I'm excited to read CJ and Riley's story. They seemed like really great characters.
