i haven’t read a new book in over a year+ and i hate how everything is so vague (even though i’m just on book 1 of a trilogy but stillll) 😭 it’s making me lose my interest because idk what’s gng on

i canNOT wait for roman’s book!!! his vibe is giving off mafia vibes and i’m really hoping his book will be mafia themed kinda like neva altaj books but idk if that’s ana huang’s kind of style

i’m gng to be utterly disappointed if roman’s book isn’t mafia themed 😭

“Every breath,” he continues. “Every heartbeat. Every drop of my blood is yours. It has all been yours from the moment we met all those years ago. If you want it, I’ll carve my fucking heart out and lay it at your feet. It’s yours, and always will be.”

“But only about your use of past tense. Not only do I still love you. I fucking live for you, tiger cub.”

“You, my tiger cub, are a ray of light in the absolute darkness my life has become and has been for a very long time.”

“A part of me would always find my way to her. She was my North Star, the brightest jewel in my sky.”

😭💘

“I spent thirty-seven years thinking my perfect match didn’t exist. You proved me wrong in less than one.”

🥺💘

“My hatred of him had almost cost me the person I loved, and I refused to waste a single second more on him. Not when there was someone else I’d much rather spend my time with.”

“You and me, sweetheart.
That’s the destination. And I’m willing to take as many steps as I need to get there.”

“You take the most ordinary or unexpected things and make them extraordinary. You see the silver lining in every situation and the good in everyone, even if they don’t deserve it. And I’m selfish enough to hope you’ll see how much I don’t just want but need you. Today, tomorrow, and all the days that come after that.” 💘

“I don’t want anyone,” I said fiercely. “I want you. Your wit and intelligence, your kindness and charm. The way your eyes crinkle when you laugh and how your smile makes the world tilt just a little bit. I even want the disgusting food combinations you put together and somehow make taste good.”

“A sky without stars, a home without heart.”

🥺

“Somehow, somewhere along the way, I’d fallen in love with Vivian Lau.
Not like or lust. Love, in all its terrifying, unpredictable, unwanted glory.”

💘

just 12% and i want to dnf but i feel like it will get better but
1. this book is so descriptive that it takes 2 pages to describe just ONE thing
2. mmc thinks he’s a big shot and is walking around with a huge ego

“Her expression falls, and she nods as she forces a smile that seems so genuine I wouldn’t have realized how fake it is if I hadn’t had the honor of witnessing her real smiles all evening.”

just for record keeping

“I’ve never felt more conflicted than I do right now. Fear of all different kinds tugs at me — fear she truly is just a great actress, and I’m letting her fool me with surprising ease. Fear that she’s innocent, and my actions tonight will set us up for failure from the very start.”

“In the back of my mind, alarm bells are going off, reminding me that the web of lies I’m spinning continues to become more elaborate by the second. Acting on impulse has never worked out well for me, yet that’s all I’ve done with her from the second she crashed into my life.”

😑

“I’ve already overcomplicated things endlessly by approaching her under false pretenses”

he better damn well remember this if he ever f up like his predecessor did

gonna try this book and see if it’s better than the rest.

“But what I was angriest about was that it had pulled me away from my wife. I wouldn’t get to see her get up this morning, looking all messy and rumpled. And for that, the Albanians needed to die.”

🦋💘

she’s breaking my heart 😭😭😭😭😭💔💔💔

“Don’t give him any pieces of your soul.”

I’d thought I didn’t have any left, but I was wrong. There was one remaining piece, and it belonged to her.

💘

“We can kiss and hold hands and whisper however many sweet nothings you want. Because if this date does happen, it means you’ve forgiven me. And if I have you back, I’ll never give you a reason to leave again.”

🥺

“I’d rather look at you,” I said.

🦋🦋💘💘💘 he should be calling himself butterfly instead
