I read book 2 in this series last year and I loved it, so I finally picked up this one to read and I loved it! I loved the MMC and FMC so much, and I loved their growth sm. I adored how much Pippa grew to love making music after her ex humiliated her with it. I need everyone to read this book as it was so good and such an easy read!!
Quotes:
- “I step onto the landing at the top of the steps, I lean my weight onto his arm. “Why’d you wear these ridiculous shoes?” I shrug. “Because they’re hot.” His gaze lingers on my legs. “Yeah” is all he says.”
- “You’re beautiful,” he says quietly. I smile up at him. “You make me feel beautiful.”
- “I have feelings for you, songbird.” My heart pounds, and the rest of the bar falls away. “I like you so fucking much. I don’t want to pretend I don’t anymore. I flew out here for you.” Something expands in my chest, filling every corner with an intense warmth. Our gazes are locked, and my arms are still around her, keeping her close. “I don’t want to fight this anymore.”
- “Not tonight,” I tell her, knowing I’m going to regret it. “If we mess around more, Pippa, I’m going to break your bed.”
- “I remember her singing when I got home, and my heart thumps harder. If she’s living with me, maybe I’ll hear her sing again.”
- “Anything you want, songbird? It’s yours. Where you’re concerned, money is no object, because making you happy is worth it.”
- “I thought you were gorgeous, too,” he murmurs, looking at me in a way that makes me feel like I can’t breathe. “Even back then.”
- “There’s no way I can tell her the truth—that she’s the girl I was obsessed with for two years in high school.”
- “I sing about wanting more, wanting to believe in myself, wanting to break free and be my own person. I sing about going for what I want because I don’t want to regret a single moment. I don’t want to waste a second doing something other than following my passion and purpose.”
Tropes:
- Forced Proximity
- Slow Burn
- Boy Obsessed
- Grumpy Sunshine
