mattsabrina quotes from hard sell by lauren layne part 4

“I just meant that I wanted to do that. Not because I wanted anything in return. Because I wanted you.”

“I’m asking if you want a drink,” I dodge.

He grins cockily. “No, you’re asking if I want to stay.”

I look away.

“Sabrina.”

“What?” I snap.

He waits until I relent and meet his eyes. Then he smiles, softer this time. “I’d like to. Stay, I mean.”

I shrug as though it’s no big deal and doesn’t matter to me one way or the other.

But it matters. A lot.

And I’m pretty sure he knows it.”

“He dips his head and kisses me. Not like he wants to shut me up, not like he’s trying to win an argument, but because he wants to.”

“There’s nothing but afternoon sunshine, a brisk breeze, sand, water . . . a beautiful woman.

My woman.”

“She freezes when she sees me, and I freeze, too, not in surprise, but because of how beautiful she looks.”

“otherwise I look just like her.”

“So she was beautiful. What else?”

“You’re good at this,” I say begrudgingly.

“Only with you.” He brushes a strand of hair off my face.”

“Instead he pulls my wineglass out of my hand, sets it aside. Then he gathers me to him, my head against his chest, his heart steady and reassuring beneath my ear.

I feel his lips on my hair, and though I don’t think I’ve ever sought a hug for comfort in my entire life, at this moment, I get why people do. I let my arm slide around his waist, closing my eyes at how right it feels to be held by him.”

“he pulls me in for a kiss, and I smile when I feel his smile.

The kiss starts out light and playful, but with each brush of our lips, we linger a little longer, our breath growing a little faster.”

“I’m already all the way, painfully in love with a man who will never love me back.”

“tonight matters. She matters.”

“You want Sabrina,” Ian says. “But for how long?”

“I want Sabrina . . . forever. For always.”

The guys look a bit shocked, but Kate merely smiles in triumph. “I knew it. You love her.”

I brace for the stab of panic, and I’m freaked out, all right, but not in the way I expected to be.

I’m not in panic over my love for her. On the contrary, loving Sabrina might just be the most sane, smartest thing I’ve ever done.

I love her. I love her more than anything.

My panic? Fear that I might be too late—that she might no longer love me.”

“You said you wanted a Tiffany cut, but if that was hypothetical or you’ve changed your mind, we’ll get you a new one.”

My hand goes to my heart. “What? What are you—”

Before I can finish my sentence, he calmly and unapologetically drops to one knee. “Sabrina Cross . . .”

I hear someone sob. Probably Lara. Or Kate. Maybe both.

Then I realize it’s me. I’m crying.

“Don’t you dare tell me it’s too soon,” Matt continues. “Don’t tell me we’ve just started dating, because that’s bullshit and you know it.”

“I let out a little laugh, because it’s so us. Only Matt’s proposal would include profanity. Only his proposal to me.”

“I shake my head in confusion. “You’re giving up a multibillion-dollar account—”

“I’d give up everything for you. Every client, every last dollar.”

“Matt,” I whisper. “You’ve always wanted—”

“You. I’ve always wanted you. That much I’ve known for a long time, but what I didn’t know until this week was that I loved you. I love you, Sabrina. Please, for the love of God, tell me it’s not too late.”

“He does as I ask, closing the distance between us and slipping his free hand around my back. “Say yes,” he whispers in my ear. “Please say yes.”

Like there was ever a choice. There’s never been any choice but him.”

“You still want me?” he asks roughly.

I smile and wiggle my finger.

“Sabrina.” His voice is urgent now. Nearly begging.

I smile and kiss his chin. “Hell yes, I want you. I love you, Matt Cannon.”

He pulls the ring out of the box, and the second he slides it onto my finger, he kisses me, hard and fast and completely unapologetic for the fact that we’re basically making out in public. I kiss him back, wonderfully aware of the weight of the ring on my finger, the applause of our friends in the background, but mostly aware of him.

“You know what I think?” he whispers, pulling back.

“Hmm?” I ask happily.

He smiles. “We’re going to rock the hell out of this happily-ever-after business.”

I pull his head down for another kiss. Count on it.”

“He’s everything I need that I didn’t know I wanted.”

“Matt and I may be wildly in love, but we’re also still us. And I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Resenha: Para Sir, Com Amor, de Lauren Layne

Livro: Para Sir, Com Amor Volume Único Autora: Lauren Layne Gênero: Romance Contemporâneo Ano de Publicação: 2021 Editora: Paralela Páginas: 286 Classificação: +16

Sim, sim, eu peguei este livro por causa da música da Lulu e eu realmente tenho que dizer que não estou desapontada, já que - assim como a música - se tornou um favorito e deixou um sentimento caloroso em meu coração.

Gracie Cooper é romântica da maneira mais literal possível. Romântica tipo "procurando O cara". Romântica do tipo "a vida é um conto de fadas". Mas não há nenhum tipo de romance real em sua vida ultimamente. Como filha do meio, Gracie sempre foi aquela que resolve problemas e conflitos. Então, quando seu pai morre e deixa uma loja de champanhe para que seus filhos continuem o legado familiar, é ela quem assume a responsabilidade sozinha. Ela desistiu de estudar arte no exterior para dirigir o negócio enquanto seus irmãos viviam suas vidas. Mas mesmo que ela tenha tentado tornar a loja mais lucrativa, as coisas não está indo muito bem. Focada apenas em como resolver este problema, a vida amorosa de Gracie é quase inexistente. Quase. Há um cara que ela "conheceu" em um aplicativo de namoro, mas não sabe seu nome verdadeiro ou sua aparência. Ele atende por "Sir" enquanto ela é simplesmente "Lady" e eles vêm trocando mensagens há algum tempo. Acontece que "Sir" tem uma namorada e acabou neste aplicativo porque um amigo criou o perfil dele. Mesmo com os obstáculos, Gracie está se apaixonando por ele e ela sabe disso. Ela nunca se conectou com alguém como com ele. Ela sabe que ele pode ser O cara. É por isso que quando vê Sebastian Andrews pela primeira vez na rua, ela fica confusa. O que Gracie sentiu quando o viu foi muito próximo do que ela esperava sentir quando encontrasse O cara. Só que esse "cara" está oferecendo a ela uma boa quantia de dinheiro para arruinar o legado da família que ela tanto lutou para preservar.

Ela nunca desgostou de alguém como desgosta dele. “Para Sir, com Amor” é um romance apaixonante que mantém você desejando que o casal fique junto desde o primeiro momento. Mostra também a importância de viver para si e para os seus sonhos e que isso não é egoísmo. A escrita de Layne é tão engraçada e descontraída, faz você querer desesperadamente se apaixonar e realmente acreditar em relacionamentos sinceros e significativos, mesmo quando o mundo está se tornando tão ... impessoal. Eu me apaixonei por cada um dos personagens deste livro, sua personalidade, seu estilo, tudo ... Tentei saborear cada capítulo lentamente, mas cheguei ao ponto que tive que sentar e continuar até o fim. Agora estou feliz porque foi uma leitura maravilhosa. E também estou triste porque já estou com saudades deles. Foi meu primeiro contato com algo de Layne, mas tenho certeza que não será o último. "Para Sir, com Amor" foi lançado no Brasil pela Editora Paralela com a capa abaixo:

NOTA: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 - 5/5 + 💖

I don't think it's about who loved you first. It's about who loves you best. And that's me. I love you best. More than I love anyone. More than you've ever been loved.

mattsabrina quotes from hard sell by lauren layne part 3

“Say something charming,” I whisper.

“Your ass looks amazing in that dress,” he says under his breath.

I let out a low chuckle so that anyone watching assumes we’re sharing an intimate inside joke, but my words are chastising. “I said charming not horny.”

“Compliments are charming.”

“Sure. Compliments on smiles. Hair. A woman’s ass, not so much. No wonder you’re single.”

He glances down at me. “I’m not single at the moment. I have you.”

“That night when Matt and I first met had been romantic. And sexual. Hell, it’d been magical.

In the span of hours, he’d made me feel like no man had in my entire life. Butterflies, breathlessness, the whole bit.”

“he drags his fingers lightly along my palm. My breath catches at the caress, but instead of looking smug, he looks intent. Thoughtful as he holds my gaze.”

“He leans down to kiss my cheek. “I’m sorry our lunch got cut short.”

I blink in surprise at the sincerity in his voice. We both know Jarod Lanham is the goal here, not me.

Don’t we?

“Call me later?” I ask him, letting my voice go soft and a little hopeful.

“Of course.” His eyes stay locked on mine.”

“Cannon?”

“Yup.”

I look down at my wine. “Juno and I were going to order takeout. I was thinking Chinese.”

“Okay?” This time it’s a question.

“You can stay. Eat with us. I mean, if you want.” I look up.

“Okay.” This time it’s not a question. And it’s paired with a happy grin that makes my heart feel like flying.”

“Cannon.”

I don’t look at her. I can’t. “Yeah?”

She leans toward me slightly and whispers, “You had a history tutor?”

I let out a startled laugh. Her response is so unexpected and so fucking perfect that I do the only thing I can do.

I bend my head to hers and kiss her.”

“I join Matt’s family by the fire pit, both pleased and alarmed when he sits beside me, close enough for our knees to touch.

Pleased, because I like the intimacy of the moment.

Alarmed . . . because I also like him.”

“We going to talk about the fact that I kissed you tonight?”

“I’ve decided to overlook the breach of contract. You’ve got one hell of a home life there, Cannon.”

“I do. But what’s your excuse?”

“For what?”

“For kissing me back.”

She gives me an annoyed look. “We’re not talking about that.”

“Good,” I say simply. “Because talking’s not at all what I had in mind.”

Then I reach out and haul her to me.”

“A rule I decided to break the second he reached for me.

For that matter, I think I decided to break it the moment I asked him to stay for a cup of tea instead of sending him right back out into the rain.

My brain’s screaming, Fool. My heart’s screaming, Mayday.

But my body . . . . it knows what it wants—what it needs—and it has always needed him.”

“I’ve missed this,” he murmurs, his lips gliding under my chin, nuzzling my jaw. “I’ve missed you.”

15 (Sometimes) Grumpy Neighbor Romance Books

Neighbors to lovers might not be the first trope I think of when discussing popular tropes in romance novels, but it is one that delivers again and again. Initially, I wasn’t sure that I’d have enough solid recs to put together a list with this theme, but I ended up being overwhelmed by the choices! There are so many great books that feature couples who start out as neighbors – often as strangers…
