‘You’re in love with me,’ she repeated.
‘Yes,’ he said, grabbing her hand and setting it to his scars. ‘You feel it here, Embers. You have since that day on the battlefield. It’s you. Furies save me, it’s always been you.’

I think I might stop here on this peak of happiness and finish it tomorrow since I know heartbreak is coming

’You’re what has been missing all my life. And I intend to keep you. Consequences be damned.’
‘Good,’ she said fiercely.
He laughed at that, joy spilling through his chest. ‘You’re it for me. I’ve just been waiting for you to catch up.’

‘You didn’t want me,’ she murmured. ‘It’s alright. I don’t blame you... Nobody wants a broken thing.’
‘You’re not broken’ he told her hoarsely. ‘Not even close, Embers.”
“There’s something wrong with me. Like all the rest said.’
Torj’s heart broke, then, at just how much pain Wren carried with her. ‘Only a fool would look at you and see anything less than perfection.”

He lost himself in her, in her taste, in the way her body responded beneath his, pulling him closer, demanding more. He would give her everything. There had never been any question of that

A kiss that’s like what, 7 years in the making… at last! And then angst again.
This book is my new addiction 😍 6 stars hands down

‘How do you know what I’m thinking?’
‘I don’t know,’ he said, reaching for her hand. He drew it up to the broad plane of his chest and placed her palm over where she knew those lightning-shaped scars marked his inked skin. ‘But I feel it. Here.’
She felt his heart pounding beneath her touch, ‘I did that to you . . .’
‘You did it for me. Without you, I wouldn’t be here.”

‘Tell me these aren’t what I think they are,’ he murmured in disbelief, his eyes roaming over the other damning trophies concealed within.
‘They’re not what you think they are,’ Wren replied flatly.

When he finds her murder trophies 😂

Torj’s rage suddenly matched hers. He crossed the room in seconds. ‘He wasn’t a man.’
Wren’s eyes narrowed as she glared up at him. ‘No? You’re suddenly an expert?’
Torj gave a dark laugh. ‘If you need a comparison between a boy and a man, I can definitely help with that.’

This two go from heartbreaking angst to scorching chemistry like its their damn job
