I reread and annotated the progress I had made yesterday and am continuing it now. I'm in love with them and at the end of chapter 37 my heart cracked a tiny bit. And now I'm starting to think the real enemies to lovers for book two will be between me and rafe to get me to like him because right now, I don't like him thaat much.

I need this book to never end. I literally went back today and reread the chapters I read yesterday bc I loved them that much. I only do that when reading books that will join my favorites of all time. Then I continued it and I already know I'll be rereading these chapters tomorrow. Everything about their relationship and the trust and the slowness, I love it. I need them together for real alr. I stayed up all night.

*SCREAMS* *SCREAMS MORE*

I am having an incredible time with every single chapter and I can already feel the hangover I'll get when I finish this book. I'm only 37% in but I'm basically devouring it like there is no tomorrow. I struggle to put it down. I love West. I love Nora and I am SO EXCITED. It's that feeling of knowing you've probably found another book to add to your all time favorites.

honestly, it lost me a tiny bit for no more than a few pages. it is irrelevant but I'm still putting it out there. IRRELEVANT BECAUSE NOW IM SCREAMING CRYING THROWING UP. I LOVE THEM. it's exactly what I wanted and needed to read now. I love the self defense session and I loooved the mock arguing and oh my god I love the whole chapter 17. I literally screamed and squealed at the end of it. i can't wait to continue.

I have been looking forward to this one

umm I'm sorry. what. this is kinda making me to never want to pick up another age gap book ever again. how is there spice already???? a d why did he- anyway. I'm very sorry because I wanted to enjoy this but idk. Maybe this is the start of a slump? I really need a book to blow my mind after this.

I'm thinking I should take a step away from christmas books for a bit after this. Maybe leave it for the days closer to christmas. I don't know. Also... she has a pink bob and im not sure how I feel about that. I'm really starting to believe it's just wrong time after two books that I enjoyed (an arranged marriage that was excellent and the christmas one that i ultimately thought was adorable) but let's see.

I'm far too mentally unstable for this which is why I'm ranting here. The alternative is starting to cry in the middle of the night. Which I might do either way.

“I don’t want to come off as too forward, since we just met,” he said. “But would you like to go out sometime?” 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

"I'm Dante, by the way." I CAN'T. NO I CAN'T. I'M OBSESSED. I LOVE HIM. My heart actually melted. There is no way I read that correctly.

I'm so heartbroken. I love both of them so much. Together and individually. I can't believe I'm this close to the end of it😭 I'll miss everything about this and the comfort it's bringing me in a bit of a weird time irl. But I also need to read more and oh my god. I need them to get through this.

SPOILER-Y!! KINDA!!




“You can’t see the stars in New York,” Dante said. “So I brought the stars to you.”

IM DONE. I LOVE THEM. THATS IT. IM OBSESSED.

He- The jealousy- Her- The surprise- The limo- I love them far too much. Oh my God. If there is a third act breakup (which if I had to guess, there is), it will shatter my heart and I'm not ready in the slightest. I could write an essay on how much I'm loving this so far and how much much I love both Vivian and Dante (enough to revisit the scenes from Twisted Lies a book I didn't love) but I need to continue.

I absolutely looove when the mmc speaks a foreign language and I have to look up the translation of what he says. I love it. really trying to take this slowly and enjoy it.

I'm loving everything about this soo much. I need the rest of the book to keep this up😭😭 I'm obsessed with the "mia cara" a little too much and their chemistry and connection. please let nothing ruin this.

Dante Russo. How is he exceeding every one of the expectations I had??? If his character stays like this until the end, he'll become my second fave Ana Huang mmc behind Rhys Larsen.

Ana Huang, I'm sorry I ever doubted you.

fiiiinally actually really reading this. I have no idea why it has been so hard for me to get through the first few chapters. Especially since now that I have, I am enjoying it. I already like their dynamic and both of them individually. Especially Dante if I'm honest.

FINALLY ANOTHER BODYGUARD ROMANCE BOOK THAT HITSS!! I'm LOVING this so far!!

update: he is seriously pissing me off. if in even gonna end up liking him a little, he needs to make a complete 180.

so that's very problematic.
