Status Updates From Lord of Scoundrels

“Jessica, you are a pain in the arse, do you know that?” He scowled at her. “If I were not so immensely fond of you, I should throw you out the window.”

“For another full minute he gazed, slack-jawed, into her beautiful tranquil, slumbering face. Just like a damned man, he thought exasperatedly. She got what she wanted, then curled up and went to sleep.”

I hate Dain. I hate how Jess thinks she is to blame. I HATE this dynamic it is so bad. I’m probably going to dnf this.

“and buried his grieving heart, as he always did, under laughter.”
I think this reread is really for me emphasizing what a little romantic and emotional man Dain is.

I really hate our dude here… how am I supposed to be rooting for this awful person?

Jessica Trent I think I may love you

Genevieve is an absolute icon
