What better way to celebrate our book boyfriends?
* * * * * * * * * * * * *
Shel picked today's quote and it comes from an author who is a permanent guest on our BFF Island, Jill Shalvis. It just so happens that today is National Cat Day, so how fitting that our book boyfriend, Dell is a successful vet. And look - there's even an adorable cat on the cover!
“I just wanted you to never be afraid again. To believe in yourself. And then, when that started happening, when
you started gaining confidence, I realized the truth. It was happening, exactly what I wanted – you
were learning to live without fear and getting strong… so that you could
leave. I was helping you leave.”
Letting out a low laugh, he pressed his
forehead to hers. “Christ, that
sucked.” He tilted his head and kissed
her gently, eyes open, locked on hers.
“I love you,” he breathed. “I
love you so goddamn much it hurts.”

Great quote, Shel! And I agree with Tanya. It does break my heart.
ReplyDeleteAww, that's so sweet! And bonus points for being a vet! ♥
ReplyDeleteOh wow that first quote. So powerful.
ReplyDeleteBut the cover is a bit on the creepy side.
