There were times I felt like crying for her but most of the time I was cheering her on and rooting for the magnificent Maleficient. Dominic was staring at me like he couldn't decide whether he loathed me or wanted to French kiss me. Only my kids got to see their mom and dad dancing to it in the kitchen between soccer practice and black-tie galas. Dominic is a brooding, grumpy alpha with a heart of gold, and the more we learn about him and his upbringing, the more we fall in love with him.

So his entire resistance to Ally is stupid, nonsensical, and completely impossible in an actual person living an actual life. As an aside, I’d like to apologize again to the neighbors for my behavior during this past Super Bowl.

Expect to laugh out loud, shed a few tears, get angry on behalf of some characters, feel your heart broken, swoon and most importantly, fall in love with so many of the characters in this book. Let's just forget for a second or for how long it took me to read this book that the characters were not acting their age at all and need serious help. I think I wore a permanent smile the entire time reading this book and the banter just made me giddy!

Then I can go back to salvaging the family name and forget all about the dancing, beer-slinging brunette. Honestly, seeing how well it was done here, I'm surprised that more workplace romances don't discuss it at all. It just absolutely killed him in my eyes that he could be wealthy beyond imagining, and literally gets hard from an impoverished women doing something out of desperation that is visibly upsetting her. But the richest thing of all is how Ally brings out the fun side of him and how she gets him to really live rather than just exist.

Our big house contained not just a family of five but two dogs—Brownie and Cookie—a pet rabbit, and seven goldfish. this took me waaaaay too long to finish but i don't care cuz it gave me 2000s rom com flashbacks and I. however, i truly, sincerely hope, that you NEVER pick this disgusting, disrespectful, utterly intolerable book up.

Fast is good,” I breathed, yanking the waistband of his sweats down and grabbing his shaft with enthusiasm. She’s working herself to death at half a dozen dead-end jobs for some secret reason she doesn’t feel like sharing with me. I suppose this could be a possible thing somebody, somewhere believes, but if so, that person has problems way beyond being the main character in a romance novel.

I actually found it tragic that another person thought a woman would find that statement from a man titillating. i decided to be a little nice, because i’m tired, but i’ll probably update this review as i can think coherently again. let’s discuss the fact that dominic was more or less a glorified “alpha-male”—i believe ally even referred to him as one—, controlling, manipulative, stalker. We all know they have no chance of sticking to their resolve, and their journey into eternity just got a lot more interesting.
