I will appreciate any book that has hackers or any person who has crazy computer skills so I loved that aspect of this book. Plus, I loved the secret vigilante group, it kinda reminds me of a softer version of what Zade Meadows does. I loved that they had been working together and falling for each other for years and they didn’t even know. I loved Graysons possessiveness, but also how he made her feel at home. I loved that she always stayed by his side. I LOVED the grand gesture at the airport 🥹. Y’all, when Grayson went to the cemetery to ask for Aria's parents blessing and a lady who owned a flower shop gave him white tulips that she was about to throw out and Noah said they were his moms favorite and his father always bought them for her 😭😭. Like it was THE best sign that her parents could’ve given him to say they accepted him 😭. What the hell Catharina Maura, why must you always make me cry?? I can’t wait to read Noah and Alana’s book and their crazy meet cute 🤭🫣. 

 

 

 

Ash: All I’m reading is that the illustrious Nyx is single. So I’ve got a shot, huh? I’d better bring my A-game. I’ll win you over. Nyx: Shot? The only shots involved are me shooting you down. 

Ash: Nyx, do you happen to have a Band-Aid? ‘Cause I scraped my knees falling for you. 

Ash: Hey, Nyx? I’d like to take you to the movies, but they don’t let you bring in your own snacks. 

 

Ash: Hmm, what can I do to make you feel better? If I were with you, I’d take you in my arms and kiss you until I’m all you can think about… but since I can’t be with you, I’ll have to settle for more puns. 

Nyx: Oh no, not the puns 

Ash: We make a great pear. 

Nyx: Oh wow, that one is kind of cute. So your mind isn’t all filthy, huh? 

Ash: Tricked you! What do a cock and a Rubik’s cube have in common? I’ll tell you… The more you play with them, the harder they get :) 

 

“In the last couple of months you’ve been my solace, Gray. Now let me be yours.” 

“You are, babe. You are.” 

 

“Aria. My lips were assaulted today. My innocence is forever gone. You must take responsibility for me.” 

“Your innocence is gone, huh? You’re in for a surprise, Gray. You’ll be forever tarnished by the time I’m done with you.” 

 

“Over the years you’ve stolen more of my heart, until eventually, I had none of it left because it was entirely in your hands. Do with it what you will. It is yours to keep.” 

 

“You’re it for me, baby. I want a whole life with you. I want your clothes next to mine, your makeup in my bathroom. I want you to have your own side of the bed, and I want to wake up to you completely disregarding that and lying on top of me instead, driving me insane.” 

 

“If a God does exist, then he must have been the one to send her to me. She is all that is good in this world.” 

 

“I love you. I love your smile, your wicked intellect, your heart. I know I don’t deserve you, Aria… but I’ll spend every waking moment for the rest of my life working on being a better man. That still might not be enough, but Aria, I swear, if you give me a chance, I’ll never stop trying. I’ll never stop doing whatever I can to make you happy, to make you smile.” 

 

“I can’t wait to find out what life has in store for us. I know that whatever it is, we’ll face it together, and we’ll always come out on top. Always.” 

 

“Yeah… I’m without a doubt counting my blessings. The life I’m living right now is a dream come true, and I’ll never take it for granted. I can’t wait to see what the next couple of years might bring. I have a feeling life will only get better… and I’m ready. I’m ready for all life has to offer.”
