seeing straight men be disgusted by booktok smut recommenders has actually radicalized me to the side of booktok smut recommenders. girls your taste may be atrocious but i will never disparage you for exposing mainstream discourse to the concept of soaking through your underwear. spent my whole life listening to men talk about penises it’s about time they get jumpscared by women talking about pussy in crude detail on social media. go forth and goon my warriors

I cry at everything, and that’s on a normal day. I cry at sad events, whether for me, a friend, or a total stranger ordering a cappuccino at the coffee shop where I worked during college. I cry at commercials. Before my period. During my period. After my period and until my next period. My tears are like ready soldiers, prepared for battle and marching out at the first hint of trouble.

My strength is my patience. My contentment. My lack of a need for drama.

I could feel the pain in my heart, waiting for acknowledgment. As long as I didn’t give it space in my head, I could pretend that it didn’t exist.

Ok so this book has one of THE most gruesome torture scenes I've ever read. I've gone through my fair share of dark romances with gangs, mafia, bratva, of all sorts. I've read stalker and obsession romances. And YET this one surprised me.

I didnt think I'd need to go back and read the entire series straight through, but since they're interconnected standalones, it may have been helpful to do so to really understand the structure of this group because after reading just this book? I'm still a little confused.

There’re other gentlemen out there in the wild and you’ll find yours. When you do, you make sure he hands you the world and not an ounce less.

I loved words. I’d always loved words. I loved the freedom you could find in them. I loved manipulating them. I loved the way they sounded and the power they held. But sometimes, sometimes, they weren’t enough. Sometimes strings of letters were meaningless in comparison to actions. Actions held the power of a choir versus the strength of a solitary singer.

Sometimes I wonder if some authors have any friends at all because I just ran across the sentence “I lifted her, flipping her over as if she was a pancake- a beautiful pancake full of erotic suprises” and just KNOW if this author had any friends, they would not have let her include this sentence in her book. Really. Has she ever made pancakes? flipping them is stressful and decidedly unsexy. i don’t want someone jamming his hands under me like a spatula and then hurling me upward in hopes that i land front side down, thank you very much
