“All this misery, and no one has any pity.”

If it isn't from LK, and if it isn't one of the Wallflowers, it wouldn't have been too appealing. Finally done with Wallflowers Four for good. tl;dr Swift's character was too briefly conjured and introduced compared to other wallflowers.

One book condensed with all the good-parts of 50 Shades Trilogy. No flaunting details, intensive bawls, or orgasms that don't make sense. Decent, easy and short read to clear the head.

12 years of yearn and agony due to social class difference. Living apart, yet feeling each other's presence. Came back to each other as different man and woman. Confused yet feelings are still the same. Vengeful but realised it hurts ownself deeper. Hating sunrises, eager to remain in vivid dreams.

If you ever marry someone else, promise that you'll always love me best.

I'll marry no one but you, McKenna. And if you ever leave me, I'll be alone for the rest of my life.

This book features the innocent love between a difficult cockney and a lovable country maid, which is special in a way that there are no dukes to be thrown into the equation like other HR does. Dramatic plot but it is all well done under LK's hands. God, Derek's confession was so d'awwww.

Then we must pack a lifetime into this very night. -Benedict Bridgerton

I would rather die in your arms, Simon, than face a lifetime without you. All those endless years... All those winters, summers... A hundred seasons of wanting you and never having you. Growing old, while you stay eternally young in my memories.

I've got to admit that SL's writing by far, and worse going back to her first books, are loaded with too many deep vocabs (yes, I love the pain) and description that challenges my reading, concentration and understanding speed.

If she had been forced to express an opinion, Caroline would have said that, with the present Duke of Twyford, managing women was a specialty.

The first book of the Ravenel series (and hurrah to LK's return to HR), it is expected to have a big load of background details of the whole big family. So heavy but it did not bury Devon and Kathleen development. Looking forward to the other four family members seeking forever love.

If you are going to tell me about the inconvenience of having an uncastrated male in the house, I'm already aware of it. - Kathleen Ravenel

He seems enthused about keeping company with his own harem of sows. I would venture to say that a pig of simple pleasures could ask for nothing more. - Weston Ravenel

And whatever flaws you might have, being unlovable is not one of them. - Devon Ravenel

Desire, is always a better motivation than fear - Rhys Winterborne.

Never apologise to women. It only confirms that you were wrong, and incenses them further.
