“In another life I reckon I could have loved you,” I tell her. She gives me a little smile back. “In another life I would have let you—“
Daisy’s name may have been in the title, but Julian and Magnolia held all of my focus in book 4. I have never been a fan of Magnolia, but I found her almost tolerable through Julian’s eyes. If it’s a choice between BJ and Julian, I’ve gotta say I’m team criminal. At this point, I just don’t see how this can end happily for these three. Since this reads more like a telenovella, maybe happiness really isn’t in the cards. I’m hoping a new love interest will be introduced for Julian in book five, but knowing this author’s love for drama, an attempt at a reverse harem seems more likely. 🙃
Now for my thoughts on Daisy and Christian…
These two had reached a healthy place near the end, but were torn apart with a cliffhanger in the last few pages. If either of them choose to self sabotage by sleeping with someone else in the next book, I swear I will throw something (hopefully not my kindle). Since she is currently with Romeo, I’ll be honest I am very concerned that’s where this is heading. Will they ever learn?
“just never saw her coming, I couldn’t have picked loving her out of a line-up until it happened and then it was everything: my first thought, last thought, mid-thought, the name I’d say in my sleep, the body I’d think about when I was with other bodies, the smell I’d try to chase down every time I’d walk through Selfridges just so I could breathe in something that smelt like her and feel close to her again, but I can never find it.” -Christian
