Somers asking,
Do you want kids?
Evie toddled into his arms.
Do you want kids?
Hazard scooped her up.
Yes. God, yes.
Do you want kids?
Clyde at the window.
Not a fucking chance.

Evie is just the best

Then Evie forgot about the chicken, and she grabbed his cheek, and her nails were sharper than any human nails had a right to be, and she kissed him sloppily on the nose. And suddenly Hazard was blinking hard. Not crying. Not a chance in hell. Just blinking his eyes cause he had something in them.

Okay, I'm melting here 🫠😭

“What’s wrong?”
“Nothing. Nothing’s wrong. Everything’s perfect.” Somers’s breath hitched, though, and he nuzzled into Hazard’s hand. “Just—just don’t let me fuck things up, all right? I always fuck things up, and if you let me, I swear to God I’ll kill you.”

Casual crying on a sunday evening
Top notch

shit, and here i was thinking they were saving hazard's parents as a NICE reveal for later in the series!

tbh i might remove these from my romance shelf entirely except for the fourth one-- i feel like the romance category does imply a certain focus on the love-and-sex aspect and ultimately this is more of a mystery series with a queer love story that makes up a big part of the plot. it's too bad bc goddamn can ashe write yearning and ust SO well, lol. good thing i love mysteries to begin with XD

The ease with which these cop characters shoot people….like calm down!

Poor Emery this man has been through so much . Oh my God, I did not see that coming. I knew the twist, but I did not see the ending. Poor Emery.

The way these two keep hurting each other in casual conversation because they’re both hurts and in pain and traumatized, this isn’t sustainable. This is not healthy. It’s toxic. It’s not even fun to read now. Sigh.

Prediction: was better than and sister Sephira part of the plot to murder Peyton, so Britney could take her place? Was it brother Joshua‘s idea? And was he killed and left because why was Peyton’s body hidden because Brittany needs to take her place?
