I forgot how much I loved this book

“Have you got a date for the photo exhibition next week?”
“Yeah.” He ran his hands over her back. “My girlfriend. She’s brilliant and brave and beautiful.”
“She sounds pretty great.”
“She is.” His eyes held hers. “She’s amazing.”

Adam turned white with rage; it was only his confidence in Katie that kept him still. Roy observed how he was getting to Adam and he smiled. “Yeah,” Roy continued. “Now, take my advice, boy: you want to keep this b***h in line? Backhand her a few times.” His eyes glittered as he saw Adam’s pain and anger. “Lit cigarettes work good, too.

Adam. She’d never have guessed that he’d be so gentle or that she’d be able to turn to him for comfort. He surprised her with his combination of toughness and kindness, and she knew that she trusted him. She believed now that she could tell him anything, ask him for anything. If he could help or be there, he would, no questions asked. That was rare, in her experience.

Something moved in his chest. “You don’t have a very high opinion of men, do you?” “No.” She gave him a sad smile. “No, I really don’t. Especially physically strong men – in my experience, they just use all that size and strength to hurt people smaller and weaker than them.”

Adam had no use for womanizers. He did have three sisters, after all. And he had seen thirty years of his parents’ thirty-five-year marriage; he had seen what ‘until death does us part’ really looked like. He knew that’s what he wanted, and he didn’t mess around with one-night-stands.

So, why don’t we get a few things straight before we embark on this sparkling adventure together?” he said. “Like what things?” “Well, first: my car, my rules. Rule number one is, I choose the music, at all times. Deal?” “Fine,” she said. “Rule number two: we do not, under any circumstances whatsoever, discuss the f-ing pictures you took of me in bad light. Agreed?

I like how strong the h acted with confronted with her past, and the way their relationship progressed--it wasn't totally smooth sailing

Knew the couple was going to have tension from he previous book. Like the way it was handled--seems probable. Like the characters themselves
