I’m so much bored.

"You can't eat justice."

And yet it's weird how good it tastes...

“When I take you to bed, Poppy Ann, it will not be under the auspices of sentimentality.” He turned his head and, in the dark, she could see his eyes looking at her with clear, direct heat. “It will be because you’re wound up so tight with need that you fear you will break if you don’t have me.” He moved an inch closer, and his warm breath gusted over her neck. “And then we will be in perfect accord, sweeting.””

Poppy is so my girl. Love the game she's playing.

Also this:
“Architecture. That was soothing. Sleep often took him when he made a mental tour of London’s architectural wonders.
Westminster Palace, The Clock Tower, Tower of London, Cleopatra’s Needle. Christ, stop thinking of erect monuments.”

I love Kristen Callihan.

Hmm. Maybe not. Kim Holden is tricky that way.

I think we have an anti-heroine here...

"I think I'm going to like you Regan." He tilted his head. "You sure are a looker."
charming.

I can't be quite sure this early in the book, but I think his eyes are...green? I don't know. It's been mentioned a couple times-maybe 3 times in 17 pages, I am just forgetting...Oh, it's a "sharp" green. That's right. I hope I'll continue to be reminded.

Confession: Nora Roberts hasn't really wowed me. But, here this is, sitting on my e-reader.

So, here I go.

Oh my god, he packed snacks for her. I live him.

“That is the first time you called me by my name.”
She pursed her lips. “Shall I stop?”
He lifted a hand and cupped the back of her slim neck. “I want to hear it fall from your lips for all of my days.”
Gorgeous, awkward pink flooded her cheeks. “Romantic drivel.””

Then there's good old best friend Todd saying "You know if a woman's ready, aroused, it's not going to hurt. Especially if the man knows what he's doing, which I have no doubt Hardy does." Again Todd, I think you should definitely tell this woman how sex works for her. That's cool.

Another guy for the shit list, and just like the worst best friend ever.

That's a bad 3-4 pages....yuck

Oh the mansplaining....
-First the overprotective, boundary-less brothers. No. (Although one it's well-established why). I don't know, trust your sister and empower her maybe after her life events
-Second the scene in the stairwell, Hardy says "There's a word, Have, n for a woman who does what you're doing." And "Like hell I was pushing you, you wanted it" Congrats Hardy, on being the worst hero ever.

The last chapter makes me feel sick. These are supremely fucked up.

The thing I'm also loving about this book is that it kind of perfectly captures (so far) how disappointing (exasperating? Difficult? Heartbreaking? ) marriage and feelings about your spouse can be despite everything.

“I would not ask you to forgo them. I simply want…” So many things. He touched her cheek, a fleeting caress. “When I’m with you, I have no name,” he whispered. “No title. It’s just me. Just you. I want to keep that feeling, to keep you with me.””

Okay then. I didn't see Winston as much of a woo-er. I stand corrected

I think I hate this book already....anyone?

Random selection, 4th one! (#199)

Ugh, a pet peeve....I just don't want to forget it
