His gaze stays locked on me. He’s got the ocean in his eyes, all those beautiful shades of blue swirled together. I want to look away, hide, and I also want to swan dive right into the center of that storm. Pure longing squeezes my chest.

I should not be bored at this point but I have not connected with either MC and I'm just bored.

Apparently, the cure to toxic masculinity is to show them how it feels to be talked about like a piece of meat.
You’re welcome, ladies.

“I loved being here!”

He’d worshiped at the altar of Rodney for four decades. Beautiful, obstinate man. How breathless he made Don feel, even now. Even after all this time.

The best revenge any queer person can get is to be happy.

Don didn’t want to laugh. He wanted to stay angry. He wanted to have this out. But he laughed. Of course he did. To most, Rodney was slightly dour, a little grumpy. Don thought he was one of the funniest people he’d ever known. Yes, he was biased, but no one could make him laugh like Rodney.

"...You and me? We weren’t destined to be. We’re here because we worked for it. We worked hard. We survived some of the worst things people can live through . It’s not fate. It was you and me who did it. No one and nothing else.”

“We all float through space on a rock, hurtling toward forever. So many of us forget that it’s other people who make life worth living. As much as we like to think so, we can’t do this alone. Everyone needs someone. Maybe not all the time, but enough that it matters."

“I think about you. Your face. Your eyes. Your mind. I’m still so in love with you.”
Oh. Oh no. Is this going to break my heart?

I don't know...I've tried several times over several days to get into this and I'm not clicking with either the story or the characters at all, so I think I'm going to put it back on my TBR pile and move on for now.

Hey all—does anyone have any MM sports romance recommendations where on or both MC's play Aussie Rules Football?

Ridiculously bad timing. WTH

Really? Really?! Are you serious?!?!!! What. The. Fuck??????

36% in and we know Hero desperately loves Onyx, but thinks he's only a booty call. And Onyx loves Hero, falling in love over every small encounter over the past 4 years, but neither of them knows it because this entire book is no one talks about anything miscommunication. *insert eye roll* 🙄

“I wish I could prove to you how devoted I am,” he purred. “I’m tempted to let the worlds burn just to taste you again.”
“Wow,” Ethan breathed. “I’m very close to agreeing.”

Finally. And, oh look, a 20 second explanation, quick conversation, and everything's fine. What an absolute waste of a plot.

Four. Four's the number of completely natural opportunities Milo and Piston could have easily confessed they made out. 38% through this book and they're still lying and covering it up. And it makes no goddamn sense to me.

We're still doing this? Seriously? jfc

😲 Milo needs some serious adhd meds. Guy's all over the place like a dog's breakfast.

WTH Milo reads more like he's 18, not 28.

Look, I haven't enjoyed this. I was ready to give it 3 stars because there have been some cutes scenes, but this third act bullshit break up because Jamie's crashing out makes me want to dnf so badly. It was already a struggle getting through this and now I'm just so mad.

“Well, aren’t you just my hero,” Jamie spits.
The venom in his voice takes Ben aback.
Oh, fuck you, Jamie. Go to therapy you dumbass before you ruin everything in your life.

Snow, you m*therf*cker 🤬🤬🤬

She hasn’t begged or pleaded; she retained her fury and defiance.
😭😭
Gaspingsobbingweeping

Mags. Trying to reach us, to let us know we are not alone in our pain, to give us strength to go on.

,😩😭😭

But the truth is, what have I got to lose? Nothing, that’s what.

Oh, baby, you have so much to lose. So many to lose.

“Well, the way I see it, Kate’s plan is the only real option we have, right?”
I could argue several better ways they could have handled this that would have worked so much better. Y'all just wanted to be smoochy faces. 🤦🏽‍♀️

“Why can’t anything be easy?” he whines.
“What’s so hard? Lucy Fur and I are pretending we like each other for you, my house is significantly superior to Chris’s, and I will burn down the world for you. Is there really anything more you can ask for?”
“Maybe? Probably?”
“Well, if you think of it, let me know. I’ll commit to it.”
