"What about the water? Am I about to die of dysentery?"
"You aren't gonna ask me what I like in bed?" "You've been giving me nothing but shit for weeks... So now you're going to be a good boy and take what I give you." "Fuck you."
"Stop finger painting back there." "Fuck me."
"I normally don't do this" "Me either. Thank you for letting me hold you."
"Fuck baby. Your hole is so warm and soft this morning." "I wanna fill you up so badly, darling. When are you gonna let me breed you good and proper?"
"I thought I knew about soul connections and love, but I hadn't known anything at all until this exact moment."
"I looked up at Emery, and the warm affection in his eyes made me realize that I'd never really gotten that look from anyone." "Like maybe I wasn't that hard to love after all."

"We're an always, me and him."
Absolutely perfect! This book is so beautiful.
The best "good boy" book I've ever read. Good boy in this book was truly used to make East feel like he really was good and not the bad that has been pounded into him since he was young. It was done so well.
I love books where one MC helps the other find their worth.
....
"Show me how good you can be for me, East."
"I can't believe I have you beneath me."
"Good boys say please."
"So fucking sweet."
"You're so fucking beautiful." "Shut up." "You are, East." I walk toward him, stroking my cock. "Such a pretty, good boy."
"There's never been a person in my life I wanted more than the man beneath me right now, and I feel so damn lucky that he let me have him."
"If anyone has made you feel like you're too hard, then they don't deserve you."
"You're so good for me. You're in my head all the time. I can't stop thinking about you, wanting to be with you. I spent my whole life not realizing there was something always missing, but not I know it was you, sweetheart."
"You're a good boy, coming with me today. I'm so fucking proud of you." ... "Your good boy."
"I can't fix the world for you, but I can promise you'll never have to face anything alone anymore."
"Why do you feel so good?" "Because it's right, East. We're right."
"You're worth it sweetheart... worth everything. You're so fucking good, sweetheart."

Brody is so perfect in the way he treasures Isaac and helps him through his trauma. It was truly beautiful. The first person to make Isaac feel safe and treasured and worthy of love. He's his massive sexy teddy bear.
There was so much focus on making Isaac feel comfortable with any form of touch. Brody respected every boundary and continually checked for clear consent. And praise for daysss.
....
"You're such a beautiful boy, Isaac. So sweet and funny and good. You make me feel good, did you know that?"
"Nobody but you has ever made me want to lose myself inside of them. I just want you to trust me. I want to show you that you can trust me, because I never want to see you cry again. Not because of me, or anyone else."
"He called me baby. Twice. Be still, my horny heart."
"My beautiful fucking boy was a shadow of himself right now, and I wanted to find whatever or whoever had made him this way and rip their spine from their throat. But first I would lie here with him and give him whatever comfort I could offer."
"Whatever happened, you are still the most beautiful boy I've ever met, inside and out. You don't have to go through this alone. I'm right here for you. I won't let anyone hurt you, Isaac."
"You're so damn beautiful, Isaac. I knew your cock would be as pretty as the rest of you."
"I wasn't sure what about me he liked, because when I looked in the mirror, all I saw was a small, skinny guy. Nothing special at all. But he kept calling me beautiful, and I kept believing him."
"Shh, it's okay. You're okay. I've got you, baby. I'm right here. You were so brave for sharing that with me, did you know that? You have so much courage. So much. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. ... You never deserved that. And it's not your fault. You are so fucking strong for surviving something like that."

"Would you still like me if I was an arsonist?" "Baby." He laughed and then pressed his lips to mine. "Tell me what you want to burn and I'll hand you the fucking matches."

I really enjoyed Zev and Gavins relationship. How they both gave what the other needed. Gavin holding Zev through his withdrawals in rehab was really beautiful. Gavin started as a stranger, hired to keep Zev safe from threats against his life. Gavin instantly saw the pain that was held so deeply inside Zev leading him to his addictions. He truly saw him at his worst and wanted nothing more than to be there for him.
and..
Maybe someone can answer this for me... Why does Gavin have a problem with Zev dropping f bombs as if they don't fall out of his own mouth constantly?

I didn't love this. I wanted to so bad. I counted the days until this got released but it just didn't do it for me.**sigh** Somewhere between 2-3 stars
I didn't love this. I wanted to so bad. I counted the days until this got released but it just didn't do it for me. I didn't DNF though so I'll give it that.
I didn't feel the chemistry between Asher and Oakley. Especially not at first. So it was really hard to take a lot of things seriously and it felt forced.
It also seemed like JD took every idea she's ever had for a book and tried to fit them all into this one. It became really chaotic.
I didn't hate it but definitely didn't love it.
