Omg? I really shouldn't be surprised by any twists at this point.
Once again..! I wasn't expecting that. I knew eventually Shane's parents were going to find out, or he would tell them. But jfc, I did not see that coming. I'm all caught up in the kissing scene, and hating the fact that the book is about to end, that I completely forgot about this possibility. Nonetheless, I love that Ilya was immediately supportive.

I might just shed a tear. They finally said it. Omfg, yes!
I have grown so protective over them. They deserve the world and everything good. This will forever be one of my favorites now. The slow build up was everything and more. I can't wait to see what unfolds in these last chapters.
And I'll say it once again. I don't want this book to end.

I seriously don't want this book to end. Ironic because of how much sex is in this; it brings me so much comfort.
I love how they're so comfortable with each other now. Not afraid to ask about little things or the big things. And just being there for one another. I love even more that they're just waiting for the other to finally say the words. My heart will absolutely break if they don't end up together in the end.

"and on top of everything, I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you and I don't know what to do about it." Um… HELLO?!
Once again, Ilya is surprising me. What do you mean he fell… and harder might I add, than SHANE?! My jaw actually dropped, I was not expecting him to say that. Admit he likes him, or is starting to? Yes, 100%. But love? This is a whole new ballpark.

Ah, they're both finally admitting to themselves that they want each other.
Ilya being jealous, and Shane openly admitting he likes men. Sharing normal conversations, joking around, I love it.
I'm figuratively at the edge of my seat every time I read a new chapter, bracing myself. I can see this becoming a comfort book.

Ilya's penthouse? Eye contact during sex? Inviting Shane to stay? Soft kisses? COOKING???
I truly was not expecting Ilya to make the first move, but it makes complete sense. Shane would never think of pulling something like that because he knows Ilya would turn him down in a heartbeat.
Ah, my heartstrings are being yanked on. They're both falling so hard for each other, but are too afraid to admit it out loud.

Giggling & kicking my feet once again.
It's getting so good. Buying a whole building just so you can fuck a guy you pretend you don't like? Oh, you're falling hard Hollander, and Ilya is eating it right up.
I'm loving them slowing being more affectionate with each other. It's warming my heart.

Reading this at night has been something I look forward to. So, my thoughts on it so far.
I can't help but feel a little sad for Shane after they're intimate. He's so conflicted afterwards, but Ilya draws him in more & more each time. It's obvious someone's going to get hurt. That's inevitable with the secrecy and the sex. I'm so curious to see how this unfolds.

Hello??? Blushing so hard right now. I'm so glad it's 12:39 am, and no one can see me through the walls.
I wasn't expecting them to progress that fast early on, but I'm not complaining.

I'm giggling like a schoolgirl. The tension they have is amazing. I know I'm going to love every second of this book.
