New baby for Luke & Addison
Levi Aaron

“I kissed you because I wanted to kiss you. I kissed you because you’re fucking gorgeous and kind and nothing like those girls or the cunts who bullied me. I kissed you because if I didn’t kiss you, I knew I’d regret it for quite possibly the rest of my life.”

Conri to Everly
Explaining himself

Wolf’s first day at the rescue center
I think he’s out of his element.

Such a good book

Jagger’s recollection of their first meeting was better than Eden’s.
I love him already!
So cocky!

Everly’s first impression of rugby at her first match

Everly’s date gave her a one-star review.
His explanation post is hilarious!
PS - I already love Cliona!

Everly’s Matchmaker Manifesto is fantastic!

This is a Libby read-along book, so I decided to check it out.

Margaret’s letter to Sloan
Inheritance

But, I’m shaking up England’s team this year. I’m dipping into the Championship clubs for my squad because there is certainly the quality of playing that I’m seeking. And there’s a set of brothers whom I think can bring the spirit of football to an all new level for England and the World Cup.

All 4 Harris Brothers on the World Cup team

Then, like a crazy natural disaster, we follow the loads of people on their way to welcoming another Harris into the world.

Booker & Poppy’s baby

Booker’s laughter is infectious as we run past Dad, who’s walking now and shaking his head at all of us. In our moment of victory, I can’t help but think to myself, Dad isn’t so bad when he’s like this.

This memory scene had me cracking up!

Gareth’s first practice with Sophia is adorable!

His mother’s poem

A wake & a wedding
The end of one love story
The beginning of another

I have to admit I’m feeling stunned as well. After everything Gareth told me about his father, this is nothing I would have expected from him. He’s cracked open that hard outer shell from the hospital and exposed a part of himself that I don’t think he shows very often.

Vaughn is opening up about Vilma over family dinner at Sloan’s house.
Everyone is surprised.

I think Gareth wants a baby with Sloan.

I hated these characters so much at the beginning of this book. I almost DNF-ed after two chapters.
Things got better.

Braden’s confession

Rhys Quinlan
Rhys is back!
That is all.

“Gareth Harris”—the short round one steps closer to me and reaches out to take my hand—“on behalf of the Football Press Association, I’d like to formally congratulate you on being selected as England’s Player of the Year.”

He won an award that he didn’t even know he was up for.
I think he needs a stylist for this event.

Spice already

I can’t believe I’m reading about the last Harris brother, (book 1/2)
I’ve heard that Gareth is the best brother. I’ll see how I feel after reading his story. So far, Tanner is my favorite Harris brother.

Kiss collection
Working toward redemption

Fuck me, what if something’s happened to Poppy? It was getting dark when she left last week. I shouldn’t have let her go. What was I thinking? What if she was taken? What if she’s been drugged and sold into sex trafficking?

This book has gone off the rails!

Chapter 17
Booker & Poppy on the practice pitch
That scene will live rent-free in my head!

First kiss

Booker is so adorably awkward!
