Sweet Rio, I knew I loved you since book 1

“We were always careful with each other until we weren’t.”

“The guy you were with tonight…Lose him.”

SCREAMING. Baby Rio’s book is starting strong. Still have my guard up because it’s 2nd chance and I still don’t know what happened 6 years ago

"I remember every single thing about you, Kenny.
In case you haven't figured it out already, you're my favorite subject to study."

Too sweet maybe corny? Yes but I’m taking another bite 🤭

“I see you, Kenny, even if you haven't been looking at me."

I didn’t think anyone would top Zander’s (Mile High) but Isaiah Rhodes may change that. I wasn’t even excited for his book

“I’m sorry someone let you think you were hard to love, because, Blue, it’s the easiest thing I’ve ever done.”

"But I spend a lot of your money."
"Someone needs to."
"And I'm messy. You don't like messy."
"I like your mess."
"And I'm needy. I have no idea how to be alone."
"Good. I don't want you to be alone. I want you to be with me."

“I’m a romance reader. I have a thing for a**holes”

"We've been taught since birth to seek the approval
of men, and it's a hard lesson to relinquish."

“A moment ago, he thought me weak. Vulnerable. And perhaps I was, but I am not helpless.”

“I am not a woman given easily to tears. They're useless things that serve only to make your voice waver and your cheeks wet.”

“Suddenly you’re afraid to look at a man in the eye and call him he is?”

MARTHA BALLARD!!!! F***ing tell them!!!

“why would I want anyone else after I’ve had you?”

“It's a lot easier to say you don't want to be loved when no one loves you.”

“I thought we were on the same page, but apparently we aren't even in the same library.”

“I guess that's my love life in a nutshell. Underwhelmed and dissatisfied. Print it on my tombstone.”

Man. I think it lost me. And it was not the flea. It was worse. It was a man. One who will not be named.

“But the magnitude, the depth of his wife’s grief for their son exerts a fatal pull. It is like a dangerous current that, if he were to swim too close, might suck him in, plunge him under.”

He-who-may-not-be-named is ✨selfish✨

“There is a part of her that would like to wind up time, to gather it in, like yarn. She would like to spin the wheel backwards…”

“And Hamnet?”
Twisting the knife

“Anyone…who describes dying as "slipping away" or "peaceful" has never witnessed it happen. Death is violent, death is a struggle. The body clings to life, as ivy to a wall, and will not easily let go, will not surrender its grip without a fight.”

A flea POV I never thought I’d need or wanted

“The pestilence has reached her house. It has made its mark around her child's neck.”

“She is dressed like a servant, in coarse and dirty clothes, but speaks like a lady. She is erect in stature, almost of a height with him, her hair dark as his own. She meets his eye as a man would, but her figure and form fill out that jerkin in a manner that is distinctly female.”

“How hard were the bones in the hand of an adult, how tender and soft the flesh of a child, how easy to bend and strain those young, unfinished bones. The doused, drenched feeling of fury, of impotent humiliation, in the long minutes of a beating.”

“He is utterly confounded to be so alone. …How can his mother and grandmother not be in the house, as they usually are, heaving open the doors of the oven, stirring a pot over the fire?”

Lol women always in the kitchen
