“I’ve risked my life for the Lords over and over,” I say, taking a deep breath. “I will do no less for my wife. She deserves that.” This is about the only line I've actually liked.

Not going to lie, it was a little satisfying that he got drugged and tied down to his hospital bed.

I wish people could see my face while I'm reading this. Especially when it's a part that people have underlined (I'm reading on Kindle). I just...can't. I'm too far to stop now though.

"You caught that, huh?" Of course she caught it, we usually remember things said that are out of the ordinary. It's giving Twilight vibes, when Bella is like, "What did he mean 'The Cullen's don't come here?" and Jacob is like, "You caught that, huh?" Yeah dummy, it was said like two seconds ago.

This book is written so weirdly. Things happen, and then a couple of chapters later you get a flashback of a detailed account of what happened. Just...why?

"When I find her—and I will—it’s going to take everything in me not to fucking kill her. That’s how angry I am." How romantic.

Him drugging her drink and then getting mad at the flight attendant for giving it to her is so funny to me. In a wtf kind of way.

"He's really toxic, but maybe it's my fault." I'm paraphrasing here, but ew.

Is she really surprised he drugged her with a sleeping pill? Last time he told her to drink something, it was GHB, so...

I don't like any of the characters, but I like Gunner more than I like Ryat. Pretty sure that's not what the author intended, but 🤷‍♀️
