Talia Hibbert delivered yet again. this was exactly the kind of fast paced fake dating, opposite attracts romance that I crave. Nik was damn sexy, and I loved how he pined and turned lovesick fool for Aria. the spice was perfect, the humour hit just right, and I’m simply obsessed with Talia Hibbert’s writing....more

if you loved The Brown Sisters series, then you'll probably enjoy this book too. it's very similar in structure, and Jasmine dan Rahul reminded me so much of Dani and Zaf.
Rahul has been in love with Jasmine for years, but she's got some serious commitment issues, so he always knew it was either the friend zone or nothing. but then a freak accident has them living together, and suddenly, things get... complicated. Rahul does his best to keep his feelings in check, while Jasmine tries to ignore her own feelings bubbling to the surface. how long will they be able to keep it up while living under the same roof?
from the very start, I was hooked, and it never let up. I fell so hard for both of them! Jasmine is kind of a hot mess but she is so loveable. and Rahul? he's an absolute dreamboat. he’s thoughtful, always so in tune with Jasmine, and instead of bombarding her with words, he shows his love through his actions. I was swooning over him the entire time. ...more

“If you don't think that I'm very aware of your presence, always, you have no idea what's going on.”
“I can’t be mad at you, when every time I think about you I am reminded that you exist.”
“I can’t be without you. And for the first time in my life, I don’t care. I think of you all the time, and I want to make plans with you, I want to talk about the future, and I’m fucking happy about it—”
“Let me say it,” he demands. “I want to say it. Just once.”
“From the very start, you had all the power. From the very start, I was in the palm of your hand.”

Isaiah Rhodes belongs on the list of book-boyfriend greats! i loved his brother Kai, but Isaiah somehow topped him (he has now become my 2nd fav Windy City man, next only to Ryan Shay). he was so endearing and cute but still so attractive. he made me LAUGH and i loved learning more about the pieces of his past that formed him. him being unapologetically obsessed with Kennedy is just ✨amazing✨. all of the little things he did whether that was simply to make sure she ate, stood up for her, showed her happiness and safety... i just want to wrap him up and keep him for myself...more

there is something about the male love interest who falls first and then becomes a dedicated simp for every moment after that just speaks to me.

“I’m just being tactical, Theodora. Keeping my enemies close and my rivals closest.” “Don’t you mean closer?” “No. That’s not what I mean. I know exactly where I ought to keep you.”
“I love you atrociously. I love you with every atom of my being, and I love every atom of yours. I love you desperately, like a starving man. I love you to distraction. And I think maybe you love me too. You just aren’t quite ready to say it yet.”
“I’d give you anything you’d ask for. If your love demanded my prostration, I’d get on my knees for you, I’d kiss the ground at your feet.”
“Love me like I love you. In every way possible. With your mind and your heart and your soul.”
“I adore you. I adore everything about you, and I want you. I want you laughing and victorious and happy, I want you kiss-drunk and wet and breathless with pleasure. I want you so much I could die from the hunger of it.”
“You are not difficult to love. You are so easy to love that I fell in love with you without even meaning to, I feel in love with you even when you wouldn’t let me, and I keep falling in love with you.”
if a man doesn't profound his love like zach does to theo then i don't him ...more
