Brutal Ambition by Sam Mariano
"To quote a tiktok I once saw ‘if Sam Mariano has no fans I am

I woke up today and saw that a new book was out so of course I had to read it

High key hoping we get a book with Hex and/or Aiden/Sloane because the small moments here were not enough " Read more of this review »

“It seemed I was torn; I wanted my goodbye, and I didn't. I wanted him to make me stay, and I wanted to go.”
Sam Mariano, Because of You

“No one can dull your light unless you let them.”
Sam Mariano, Untouchable

“You know when you’re going to be decidedly less amused? When I’m sendin’ you to the store at 3am because I’m craving a certain brand of pickles.” Carter takes a step back, rolls his eyes at me again, and grabs his plate. “Come on, wifey.” “And my back is already aching from carrying around your spawn. I hope you’re plannin’ to give me a back rub later.” “Are your feet swelling up, too? Maybe I should just buy you a whole spa day.” “I mean, it’s the least you could do for the mother of your child.”
Sam Mariano, Untouchable

Topics Mentioning This Author

“Freedom’s an illusion. We all live in prisons of our own making.”
Skye Warren, Hear Me

“The only difference between reality and fiction is that fiction needs to be credible.”
Mark Twain

“If there's a book that you want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must write it.”
Toni Morrison

“My dream wasn’t to be a princess in a castle. I wanted to be Persephone, claimed by the god of the underworld.”
Skye Warren, Don't Let Go

“I have never understood how people can blithely disregard the damage they do by following their hearts. Who was it said that following your heart is a good thing? It is pure egotism, a selfishness to conquer all.”
Paula Hawkins, The Girl on the Train
