I feel slightly cringe so far

There’s got to be fewer than fifty of us in attendance. The team is here, as are a couple of other athletes who play for Chicago—two hockey players and a basketball player. And a couple of other friends as well.

My Shayla’s

“In case there’s any miscommunication here, let me clear a few things up for you. You are mine. That night we finally got together, when you said you wanted to make me yours, that goes both ways. You are mine, Reese, and if I need to go make sure he fucking realizes that, I will. Or is it you who needs reminding?”
“Prove it.”

“What the hell is he doing here?” Emmett booms, charging in like he owns the place. It’s no wonder everyone thinks there’s something going on between us. Throwing open my door like he has every right to.
“You can’t just barge into my office!”
“Then hire a fucking receptionist to keep me out!”

Monty is my new favorite character I fear in this series. I love him

MONTTYYY🤭

“I don’t think you understand me. It doesn’t matter where I say it. I wasn’t lying that day in the elevator when I told you to fire me. That’s where I’m at. I’m not willing to risk your reputation, but I am willing to risk my own job to figure out what this might be. So fucking fire me already.”

This man and his words.

“How do you sleep at night knowing the entire league thinks you’re running your team into the ground, Reese?”
Man, the fucking gall of this guy. I contemplate his question. “Usually with a fan on. Thermostat set to sixty-seven, and like a fucking baby. Thanks for asking.”

I LOVE HER

“Do you know how frustrating it is that the only person I want to talk to, I can’t, unless I make up some ridiculous work-related excuse? Do you realize how maddening it is to want someone for the first time in twenty years only for that woman to be my boss? Your presence is infuriating to me, and still, I can’t stay away. I hate that you made me want you.”

I’m deceased. I love this book and the longing

“You look good today, boss.”

I am foaming at the mouth over these 2

“Tell me I can kiss you.” It’s part dare, part command. And yet still a fully frantic plea because we both know if one of us is going to give permission to cross the line, it’s going to have to be me. I slightly shake my head.
“Reese.”
“Emmett, you work for me.”
He hesitates for a moment, but there’s no mistaking the conviction or desperation in his next words. “Fire me.”

UNWELL

“I’m on a date.”
I reread that message a few times, and I like it less and less with each pass. She’s on a date? Am I jealous? Fuck yeah, I’m jealous.
“Great when is that over? I’ll be the one taking you home.”

GET HER MONTY

“Lose the blanket, Reese, and come here.” “Emmett.”

Bark bark, woof woof and all that jazz

“Emmett,” she sighs, turning to face me. “I know we’re having some differences right now, but just for tonight . . . can we be on the same team?” “We’re always on the same team. That’s literally why we’re here. Because we are on the same team.”

Oh Monty my sweet summer child

“Don’t picture me naked, you know, just in case you were thinking about doing that.”
I’m expecting him to tell me he’s hanging up so he can call HR, but instead I’m met with my very own retort.
“Don’t tell me what to do.”

Monttyyyyyy you flirty man

Page 2 and I already get my favorite Rhodes, Daddy Kai. Love it here

I need this book to be the best thing ever like all the other Windy City series. The slump has been real lately.

Making her grovel. Making her change her character completely at the end? Yeah fuck that

So we make this go down a path and then turn it into this. Hate that

If this is the twist the book takes it’s going to annoy tf out of me.

I’m glad they stopped being dumb with each other and embraced it. Now let’s watch it all fall apart I’m sure.

Im going to be honest. So far. Not the deal or the Graham effect impressed…. This is just push or pull will they won’t they but not in a good way

The nickname is freckles? Idk if I like it or not. It makes me think of Nick and noah hahaha😂

Stop calling her kid ahhhh

This better hit right I’ve waited too long for their story

“I’m not done with you,” he whispers. “Please don’t be done with me.”
“I’m a mess,” I whisper.
“Then be a mess with me.”

Aww cute. This is a great love confession scene.

Yeah that wouldn’t happen

I hope there is no silly second act break up and coming.

This is cute. I just need to read for the vibes and not the weather

Literally who kisses a coworker to calm them down omg

I’m having to realize how unrealistic this is
