Her referencing her father every other paragraph is a little like "I wish the boy were here" in Old Man and the Sea.

“You wore them because you knew that color would soften the angles of your gown. That touch at the neckline makes your eyes look like storm clouds. It’s a lovely effect, Minnie. I know who you wore them for.”
She held perfectly still.
“You wore them for you,” he said. “Good for you.”<\i>

Oh he's good, he's very good.

“I—you…” He sucked in a breath. “That almost sounds like you like me.”

She gave him a nod. “Logic,” she said, “is a lovely thing, Your Grace. That is precisely what I said. I only wish it weren’t true.” She turned the handle and stepped out the door.

the message was simple, a time, a place, and request that Jack arrive alone... Jack, having learned a thing or two from the men in his life, all of whom loved headstrong women, woke Mary and showed it to her. <\i>

That Jack is no idiot.

“Damn, but Jack liked her too well. Just as he’d feared he would. Lust was one thing. It burned off quickly. “Like” was decidedly dicey. “Like” could grow, lead to other unfortunate “L”-words that did not bear thinking of. Of course there were words to offer a fine distraction, such as “lick,” “linger,” “luxuriate,” or the more-obscure-but-rife-with-possibilities “lingua.””

So look, Callihan can write a goddamn book. I'm already hopeless over that damn Jack. Maybe I always was...these last two chapters though are like gah.

"But he was not a fool. She made it clear his kiss was not welcome. Jack knew perfectly well that arousal could occur without consent. And he would never take what wasn't offered."

A hero that thinks that and saves you from a train? Where do I sign?

Fierce
“While you’ll be shouting about like a tot who’s lost his lolly, I’ll be the lash you never saw coming.”

For some reason, I own every one of Mia Sheridan's books? I feel like while I'm nursing book hangover is a truly unfair time to give her another shot, so obviously that's what I'm doing.

Love this chaos and order juxtaposition

This book is making me obnoxious.
the ironies were many, and they were all a little hard to take.

For instance, wasn't it funny how a kiss a lifetime in the making could ruin her in moments?

And how every kiss from now on would be a footnote to that one?

Not to mention every man?

It was just her shitty luck that she hated him now.

Here's hoping it carries this strength throughout!

Basically, this hero is killing me.
she'd stayed with him until he could draw a steady breath again. And then she'd gone back into the house without a word.

In truth, her weight was no more a burden to him than wings were a burden to a bird.

if Glory had a cost of arms, it would say, "It Got a Little out of Hand There for a While." And right above that it would read, "I Got Curious."

Oh and now can confirm second chance.

So I have highlighted probably 3 paragraphs already. Can't tell if this is second chance but can confirm Eli is swoony levels of observant.

Can't quite settle into the tone of this one. And definitely on the smut side thus far. (Just some really juvenile thoughts/text)

I can't help myself. It's a sickness.

"Look at you with all your insight. And here I thought you had all the wisdom of a fortune cookie."

"My wisdom is worthy of at least a pamphlet."

this would be fantastic if I were an 8th grader.

I'm still gonna read it though, so my last book doesn't do collateral damage to would-be good/decent books

Random...ereader clean up. We'll see how far I get!

Off topic... How is Idris Elba's new profile pic in Twitter the hottest thing ever? It's his lower face and chest and... Oh right, it's Idris Elba.
