Duke-ing it Out by Jami Albright
4.0
This woman knows who she is and what she wants. She deserves someone who will go all out and prove that he wants her too. I plan to be that man.
Duke was a pain in the butt, and yet I was on his side the entire time! Only once did I jump ship, and that was reluctantly. We knew from the get-go his complicated feelings for Sienna. And of course, his complications with feelings. So heartbreaking. I just wanted to hug him. It didn’t excuse the way he acted towards Sienna when his feelings became too much, but at least it was understandable. Of course, Sienna didn’t know that! She did however understand in her own way. She definitely didn’t excuse him though! That is a woman of strength! And she definitely gave Duke a run for his money! I’m proud of the both of them for never giving up, even if they ran away. I loved their Bonnie and Clyde games! And the sarcasm they both had plenty of. Leaving Sienna in Ryder had the exact opposite effect that Duke had planned for. And it was great for both of them! Duke stood by her side, even when he felt things get complicated. He knew he was throwing kerosine on the fire, but couldn’t avoid it. Once Duke stops fighting his emotions and fate, he becomes a man on a mission. And becomes the man Sienna deserves. Who never hesitates to let him know what she deserves (and she’s right). The ending was SO comforting.
My Favorite Quotes:
•”Shhh, let me take care of you.”
•”Are you taking me somewhere to have your wicked way with me, Mr. Wayne?” “You bet your sweet ass I am.”
•”No need to worry. I have everything I want right here.”
•’I’m on my knees in front of this woman, but it’s not a position of weakness, though I would happily beg for just one taste of her.’
•”I’ll spend the rest of my life making it up to you if you’ll forgive me. I need you to forgive me.”

Some important things said that I believe everyone needs to hear:
•”No” is a complete sentence.
•Yes there are people with real problems and people who have less than you, but that doesn’t invalidate your feelings.”
•”If it’s how you fell, then it’s not stupid at all.”
