Status Updates From My False Heart (Lorimer Fam...

I am hoping she asks for his help. Though I am thinking she will disappear with her family. 🤔🥺

If I never have to read another heroine being described as "shrieking" I will forever be happy. Authors for the love of everything please stop making your heroines sound like harpies. Shrieking is not flattering by any means.

This is dragging on for way too long that the charm is wearing off.

There are way too many people living in this house.

The heroine is a painter. My favorite! :)

Too damn many thought meanderings!!

I knew I was taking a risk by choosing an 'older' book, but I'm really struggling now. Every now and then I can't help but cringe :/

Oh, here we go :/ Cue the 'I can't tell you of my woes because that would solve my problems but would go against the plot.'

Le sigh!

Careful, Elliot, not long now!

Far better he should simply rip his heart from his chest and toss it to Winthrop’s pack of rabid hounds. It would be quicker, and far less painful, than losing himself in another woman, for Elliot knew that despite his hardened resolve, were he to fall in love again, he would fall blindly, hopelessly, and irretrievably. It was his way, and he could not seem to alter the course.

“Indeed, your face does have great character, Mr. Roberts [...] When I paint a really good portrait [...] the subject’s character is what I paint.”

At this explanation, Elliot inwardly shuddered. Certainly, he had no wish to view an artistic rendition of his character and couldn’t imagine Evangeline taking any pleasure in it, either. What would such a piece look like? A vast, gaping black hole? Or worse?

“How unpleasant,” he murmured, ruthlessly shoving the note deep into his coat pocket.

Woot! Anti-hero inc!
