Making It Last, Ruthie Knox 5 BKs / 4 WKs
Marriage is not a happy ever after, but a (mean) choice to love and be loved, remade everyday.Favorite Quotes
“Everything could be broken, the light in a marriage gone out, and still be fine.”
“You gave up the grand illusion that had carried you through the horrific months of early parenthood, and you realized it was never, ever going to get easier.”
Lady of Persuasion, Tessa Dare 4.5* BKs / 4 WKs
Favorite QuotesDare’s gift: giving exterior dimension to interiors. Bel’s passionate & shamed. Toby’s charm can’t sustain them. Each coming into their own.
*The amazon reviews are all over the place on this one and I can only guess it's because the readers weren't smart enough to get its nuances. It turns the reformed-rake trope on its head and does it well.“She’d fallen in love with her husband and now everything was ruined” (261).
A hero with anxiety issues. A best friend who cries during sex. (I love disaster sex!) And slow, mature realism at the end.Favorite Quotes
“What she didn’t know was that the truth sometimes beat you down and chewed you up and ruined your life” (57).
