Wow. Their love for each other was undeniable. I think they may be my favorite couple in the Windsor series yet. I love how they’re both possessive of each other and get jealous when they’re with other people. They helped each other heal from their past and fears and insecurities. They loved each other no matter the odds. They found a home in each other. Yeah they’re definitely my favorites. 

Of course, it’s not a Windsor book if there’s no possessiveness and extravagance, and Dion surpassed every other Windsor brother. He bought an entire concert hall for her to prevent her father from entering the building and harming her. He DEMANDED her father to deposit all of her hard earned money from concerts to his bank because her father was stealing money from her. He fucked her face after a performance and her ex walked in and THEY KEPT GOING!!!! He had her father nearly beaten to death once he found out he had been abusing her for years. But not only that for years, he’s been doing the dirty work for his family and close friends and exacting revenge on anyone who’s wronged them which includes torture and death 😳😳. And I am HERE for it, lol which is a crazy thing to say 🤭. But I love that not all the Windsor men are perfect, I LOVE that Dion is darker than the other men. He helped make Faye’s dreams come true. First he took her to Italy for Gelato, then once it started raining, they danced 🥹. Then despite how much it hurt him, he let her go to experience independence and freedom that she’s never got to before. But even then, he’s still helping her dreams come true. One of her dreams was to play on an abandoned piano in a train station, so he has brother put a piano in a train station just so she can fulfill her dream 😭. Where can I find this kind of love 🥲? FUCK YES!!! Then for the beautiful proposal, he got down on one knee, proposed to her, and she got down on her knees too 😭😭. I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT when the woman does it too. To me, it just shows how equal their love is and I WENT FERAAALL for it. 

Y’all, I swear the FMC’s family in each book needs to stop treating them like shit. I think the only exceptions were Val’s family excluding her father and Raya’s parents. But everyone else’s was a piece of shit to the FMC’s. Like Raven was emotionally manipulated by her mother and sister and had her happiness taken away all because her sister was cruel. Val’s father abandoned her because he considered her less than. And then Faye was emotionally and physically abused for YEARS ever since she was eight years old 😢. And this entire time she thought that she was protecting her step sisters and mother by enduring her fathers abuse, and they were stealing money from her ALL THAT TIME!!! Goodness. 

It was really interesting to see a sneak peek about Zane and Celeste’s story in the past two books, I cannot wait to read theirs especially since their book is longer 👏👏. The dreams he had of his mom always hurt me, but in the last chapter it healed ME too 😭😭, it was so beautiful. And the fact that he SMELLED her perfume when he woke up, i just KNOW that she was there with him 😭. 

“I thought today would be the perfect day to test out this prototype of my new smart board. I’m thinking of calling it the Lexperience.”

“No.” (Zane)

“Fuck that.” (Dion)

“The Lex-board.”

“Absolutely not.” (Luca)

“Did you forget?”

“Forget? What did I forget?”

“That I’m yours. If you don’t hold my hand, I might get lost in the crowd. Then what?”

“Dion, you’re a giant. You’re at least six-foot-three. I’m relatively certain you can look over everyone’s head. I think you’ll be fine.”

“No, I don’t think I’ll be fine without you.”

“Jealousy looks so beautiful on you, Faye. Keep being good for me, baby, and I’ll be good to you too. So good.”

“I’m a mere mortal, incapable of resisting her divinity, and she must know that.”

“I threw her phone in the ocean.”

“What the fuck happened to the plan? Weren’t you supposed to be nice and win her over? This environment is literally perfect for seduction, and you go and throw her phone into the fucking ocean?” (Lex)

“I had a diver retrieve it. I didn’t litter.”

“I think you’re missing the point here.” (Zane)

“I wish I had the Lex-Board.” (Lex 🤣)

“We’re not calling it that.” (Zane)

“Today is the day I stop counting down. Instead, I’ll start counting my blessings, because that’s what I hope each day with you will be. I know this isn’t what either of us wanted, but from now on, we’re in this together. From now on, I’m truly yours. For better or worse.”

“You make the whole world fade away, you know that? When I’m inside you, I feel complete. You were never supposed to make me feel this way, Faye. What the fuck have you done to me, hmm?”

“I just want you, Faye. You don’t have to pretend in my presence—the only version of you I want is the real you.”

“Dion. What if I don’t know which version of me is real?”

“Then give me all of you, every last jagged fractured piece. Give me all of it, Faye, because those pieces you think are broken? They complete me.”

“This. This thing between us, it keeps me hooked, keeps me coming back for more. I’m enchanted, you know?”

“You aren’t enchanted, you’re drunk.”

“Wow. Wow. That’s my wife.”

“I think I’m in love with you, Faye Windsor. If ever there was a chance I’d let you go, it’s gone now. You are mine, and you will be for the rest of your life. There’s no hiding from me. There’s no place you could go where I wouldn’t hunt you down.”

“I can live with that. Because I think I’m in love with you, too.”

“Home. It’s more than just four walls. It’s safety, comfort, and acceptance. It’s him.”

“That’s what you do to me. You take each broken piece, and without even realizing it, you put me back together. I don’t deserve you, but fuck, am I grateful I’ve got you.”

“You are both my torment and my salvation, my muse and my damnation. For you, I’ll willingly go to the depths of hell. Did you know that?”

“I know, but I hope you realize I’ll be there every step of the way. You don’t want to lead me to hell, do you? If you burn, I’ll burn with you. No matter where you go, I’ll be right by your side, Dion. You once told me that my broken pieces complete you, yet you find it hard to believe I feel the same way. I wish you could see yourself through my eyes.”

“I need to find a moment to thank your mother. I’ve only ever begged for her forgiveness, but I realize now that I should be thanking her, too. For giving me you. I swear I won’t let her down, Faye. Every single day, I’ll do everything in my power to become worthy of you. I’ll never stop fighting for you, for us.”

“You don’t have to try. You’re already beyond worthy of me, Dion. You always have been.”

“Would it truly be okay if I make your dreams my own? Can I insert myself into the future you envisioned for yourself, Faye?”

“Yes. Yes, Dion. I want it all with you.”

“Tell me you’re sure, Faye. Tell me you want to spend the rest of your life with me until we’re old and gray. I’ll make every single one of your dreams come true, so long as you stay with me.”

“I’m sure. I want you for the rest of our lives, Dion. I want it all with you.”

“I will never let you go, Faye. Not even if you beg me to.”

“Good. Because I don’t want you to.”

“Dion, every second of every day, I choose you. Even when you don’t want me to. Even on days that feel impossibly hard. I’ll always choose you.”

“You’re driving me insane. I’ll never get enough of you, you know that? For the rest of our lives, I’ll want you the way I do tonight. You’re the one for me, Faye Windsor.”

“She’s the wife I never wanted, yet now I can’t imagine my life without her. Her broken pieces perfectly fit against mine, creating the foundation we’re building the rest of our lives on. With each brick we lay down, we build each other up. I can’t wait to see where life takes us, but I suspect countless shitty flights and beautiful melodies are in my future. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”
