"He stares up at me like I’m something to be worshipped."

“Sweetheart (. . .) I’ve been on my knees for you this entire time.”

"He can be whoever he needs to be with me. Rough, broken, breathless, perfect. Every shade in between."

She’s everywhere (. . .) like breadcrumbs to my goddamned obsession.

"Her magic is her. Thorns and all."

“I want it (. . .) However long you’re here—whatever time you have left—I want it to be with me. I want all your minutes, Darcy. Every last one.”

"I started making bouquets for her with the wildflowers I found along the road on my way home from work. Kept at it enough that she got it in her head I should open my own shop. She said (. . .) Well. She said if I loved flowers so much, maybe I should spend more of my time with them. But I don’t think she realized the only reason I ever loved flowers is because she did.”

“Tater Tot,” I repeat. “Yes.” “The dog’s name is . . . Tater Tot?”

"The first porch step creaks under my boot. The second one groans. It’s an orchestra of Scooby-Doo sounds."

"I bet there’s not a single claw-foot tub inside this ramshackle building. Or if there is, it’s probably filled with . . . spiders. Hazardous materials. The blood of virgins."

"This might be the most embarrassing thing to ever happen to me, and that includes that time I had to collect the soul of a man who died while sitting on the toilet."

"They go great with the spleens of the mortal men I seduced into your bathroom.”

I dunno man. The story is nice and the writing is okay. I DO NOT like the fact that the MFC is falling for the MMC like 48 hours meeting him. I also can’t stand the fact that the MFC is just so cool with everything. She falls back 130 years and it’s like ?? No biggie?? I’ll adjust?? She finds out life altering news and again no big deal?? Do not like that she’s been able to change the MMC views so fast

“How about we just be Haven and Carmine?” she suggested. “We don’t know the ending, but we can always hope for the best.”

“I like that,” he said. “Besides, there’s a reason we don’t know how the story ends.”

“Why?”

“Because it doesn’t.”

“Haven, I could never love someone like you, because there isn’t anyone like you,” he said. “You’re one of a kind.”

“La mia bella ragazza.” “You know I don’t know what that means,” she said, blushing from the intensity of his stare. He ran the back of his fingers along her flushed cheek. His touch was soft, and she leaned her head in his direction. “My beautiful girl,” he said. She took in his expression. “You think I’m beautiful?” “I don’t think you’re beautiful, Haven,” he said. “I know you are.”

Amazing. This story is going to be one hell of a ride. I'm expecting it to be dark, sensual, and sexy, but still remain a captivating plot line that keeps me guessing and constantly saying: "What the fuck just happened," I'm about half way through the second chapter but I'm reading on my Kindle so I don't know the page number exactly.
