Status Updates From It Was Always Love (Taboo L...

Deducting from my rating for the ubiquitous 80% drama llama that was both unnecessary and not well plotted. This whole book could have been addressed in a couple of extra chapters in book one. Not impressed.

*2.5 Stars* rounded down

Way too much sex and not enough plot IMO. Not something I complain about very often. I found Sena a bit spineless and dislikable and the issues with family underdeveloped and therefore unresolved.

Less sex and more conversation would come as a welcome relief at this point. I’m skimming the sex scenes now. Practically unheard of for me.

I am getting very fed up with all the “my momma says “ crap Sena keeps spouting.

No cliffhanger for me.

“It was always love.” He says against my lips.

My big, tough robotic Noah is wide open with emotion, his eyes glazed with it. “I can replace everything and everyone but you... you, Sena, are fucking essential. I only have one of you. My precious girl. You, I need.”

I am CRYING 😩

“Sena, I will do anything to keep you. To make you mine. Christ, I want you to be mine more than I’ve ever wanted anything before, and I’m tying myself in fucking knots to convince you of that. Everything else, I will drop and not care, but I won’t lose you. Those aren’t just words. When I say you’re my everything, my whole heart, I mean it. I’ll be a dusty pile of misery if you won’t have me...”

“Love doesn’t identify sexuality. It only sees chemistry and the bond to another person who is already destined to be a part of you. It recognizes the pounding blood and rushing sensations in the heart. It’s never logical. A logical love is not love. Love is sometimes messy, but if you find it, you find it.”

“It’s real. And it’s so fucking hot it burns through me, kitten. It’s the good flames, the kind that won’t be destroyed. Let me take on your worries, and you enjoy this feeling we have made.”

“You’re scared. And I’ll remind you what you mean to me every day if I have to, so you understand, I will. Just talk to me. There’s nothing we can’t fix.”

“I touch you because this is what you do to me,” he shares through his clenched teeth. Bringing my hand up much too soon, I whimper for him to put it back, but he places it over his thumping heart. “I touch you because you make this beat,”

I don’t know why the hell people want answers as if they can put me into only one box. Love doesn’t work in those terms. It’s primitive. My love for Sena goes deeper than skin and hormones.   There’s no life I envision without her in it. And now I crave her more than ever.

Sisters walking in🙈 mortification

Oh her insecurities 😕

“And then I fell hard for the woman. My love for you supersedes my sexuality, kitten. I’ve loved no one as I love you. I fell for your atoms, your soul, your heart, and your body.”

“I’m kind of a prick,” he says out of nowhere. “I should have been more open, kitten. Don’t dismiss what I want from you. It’s not some game. I’m deadly serious about us, and I promise to communicate better. I don’t know when it happened, Sena, or why. Those small details aren’t important. What is; you’re the joy that begins and ends my day.”

Okay, can I just bottle Noah up and keep him forever!!! 🥵🥰🔥❤️❤️❤️❤️

“This is what I know, Sena. I fucking want you, crave you. Desire you more than I have desired anyone else in my entire life, but I don’t want to fuck other women. I’m not attracted to any other woman. But I am Sena-sexual.”
