first of all, i wanna say that i dove into this book with absolutely 0 expectations and 0 prejudice toward the author’s writing. i had a really, really bad experience with 'Consider Me' and i hoped that the cringy, too sweet dialogues would vanish with the author’s 3rd book but oh, how wrong was i.. i think i just need to call it a day and admit that BM’s writing style is not my cup of tea.

Why?” She pops a grape in her mouth. “He’s got nice hands. Big. Strong.” She pumps her brows. “Magic.” His fingers skim the edge of my thigh, over the ripped slit at my knee, his touch gliding so gently across my skin I’m not certain he’s actually touching me. For a moment, I revel in the feel of his warm, callused hands. For a moment, I want more. I want her to know how I feel about her. How utterly devoted I am to her. How mind-blowingly in love with her I am.”Olivia rolls her eyes. “There’s not a bit of me that’s surprised that that’s your takeaway.” She gestures over her shoulder. “You can have any girl you want. Go find someone else to take for breakfast.” I’m oddly captivated by the way she slings one leg over the other and lifts her glass to her mouth, draining nearly half of it in one long pull like it’s her day job, and I stand a little taller when she starts scanning the room. She skims over me, then past me. This book is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents either are products of the author’s imagination or are used fictitiously. Any resemblance to actual persons, living or dead, events, or locales is entirely coincidental. You goin’ to your brother’s?” Emmett shouts down the hall. “Tell Jer I’ll be online at ten tonight if he wants to play!” Connor’s wearing a tiny version of my jersey, big headphones covering his ears, and when Rosie points to me, a smile ignites his face. He slaps at the glass as I stop there. “Dada! Hi, Dada!”

Consider Me (Playing For Keeps Book 1) | Becka Mack

Adam snorts, whipping me in the leg with his damp towel as he strolls by. “That’s good. Save it for when she’s jabbing your eyes out with that spork. Might be your saving grace.” Patently untrue. I watched you dance all night long last weekend. Trust me.” I rub my tired eyes with my hand, half burying my next words. “Couldn’t take my goddamn eyes off you.” If I’m your happy ending, you’re my heaven. There’s nothing else I need from this world. I could live here forever, in this place where I’m yours and you’re mine. There’s never been anything more beautiful than this version of paradise. I’m certain of it.” She twists in my direction, shoving my knees aside with her own. “No? You came over here to stare at me?”Anyway this book was one of my anticipated releases of the year but unfortunately I was very disappointed.

temporary breakup?? (rosie asked for space when she found out adam's real job and this lasted for two weeks)

There’s that damn tapping again. The longer I ignore him, the louder he taps. It’s incessant and irritating, and everyone around me buzzes with excitement, wondering why he wants my attention, and more than that, why in the sweet hell I’m not giving it to him. There’s something about her that’s piqued my interest, the sass, maybe, or the sarcasm. There’s a softness to her, too, something lurking just beneath the surface, like she’s trying to hide. I’d wager a bet she spits all that fire so that her resolve doesn’t start crumbling around her like a sand castle. She strikes me as an all or nothing kinda girl, which is probably why one-night stands aren’t her thing. Look, she’s one of my best friend’s girls. I’d never, ever touch her, but I’m a man with two eyes on my face. I can appreciate a good-looking woman without a desire to act on it. Rosie was way too trusting in my opinion for a single mom who has been through what she has. I didn’t relate to her whatsoever. Rosie as a mother. I don’t want to be judgmental, and I’m no mother, but Rosie wasn’t a good one in my opinion. like at all 🫣🫣🫣 I'm sorry, but how could she leave Connor with his sperm donor unsupervised, knowing how he is and how he treated Connor right in front of her face? I was FUMING when the whole thing went down with him cause I could see it coming from a mile away.

You told me to keep my distance, and I told you I’d already put it between us.” There was a moment, a very brief one with my hand in his, his piercing emerald eyes holding me, that I might have…considered it. Maybe. To be determined. I blame the alcohol for mistakes nearly made.He’s squeezed himself into every crevice of my life, and everything feels so full I’m nearly ready to burst.” (Rosie) You didn’t throw my whole world off balance. You centered it. It was like you were my gravity, and every moment I was with you, everything settled into place. My fears, my insecurities, my hopes, and my dreams. I was at peace with everything, as long as you were by my side.” How do you do that?” I ask, sandwiching my phone between my ear and my shoulder as I dig my car keys out of my bag. “How do you know the moment I have my phone in my hand?” I was three mojitos and five tequila shots deep. I don’t remember a single word of that conversation.”
