I believe in love at first sight.
Now I know soulmates exist.
Nothing has ever been easy for us.
Every fight, every struggle, has been worth it.
I’m stubborn, but what woman isn’t?
She’s hard work and I love the overtime.
He’s frustrating and unpredictable. I hope he never changes.
I love driving her crazy. That’s half the fun.
Lou’s sexy curls.
Honeybee’s pink nose.
He still looks at me like I’m precious and unflawed.
She treats me like I’m the center of her world.
Our future will be full of happiness.
Despite everything, we’re two of the lucky ones.
I took the bait.
She was a lucky catch.
He is the wind in my sail.
She’s the anchor that grounds me.
The wake our love made is beautiful.
Every day I thank God for her.
No matter the hurdles, we’ve jumped them side-by-side.
No matter the obstacles, we’ve made it through together.
For better or for worse, I’d do it again.
I’ll love and protect her all the days of my life.
We made it.
We always will.
My 5 star review of Anchor by M. Mabie
It’s crazy the amount of power these authors have with our
emotions. They have the power to make us smile like there’s no tomorrow- and
also the power to dash all of our hopes with three words- like “Happy
2010. Goodbye.” And the power to give us hope, and a little faith- with
a little paragraph like, “The best things are worth waiting for,
honeybee. Otherwise fairytales would start with happily ever after” So
while Mabie completely took that power and devastated my heart in Bait and Sail;
she totally mended it with Anchor.
Have you ever read a book and you just LOVE the voice the
author has? Not in literal terms, that is, but just- the words that flow from
their fingertips are so absolutely brilliant you fall in love with their author
voice. Mabie has that DOWN. Like down to a science. Everything about it is
wickedly sinful. How she speaks, is how I speak to my friends. Her writing isn’t
dumbed down at all, but it’s not haughty either- and it doesn’t sound
pretentious- like the characters are above average geniuses. Its just GOOD. She
has that snark about her author voice, that I freaking love. And if you didn’t
believe in Casey and Blake’s relationship in Bait and Sail you are SO gonna
believe in it after Anchor.
“She leaned into me for a kiss and before our mouths met she murmured, “I
love you.” She tasted like forever.”
While Sail wasn’t my absolute fave (don’t kill me.) Bait was
more of that heart pumping angst I am used to from Mabie, she really redeemed
herself with Anchor, and blew it completely out of the water. I loved Blake and
Casey’s POV- but I loved those random chapters thrown in there from Reggie and
Audrey, that was a killer idea- and groovy set up for future books (AHEM- TROY
AND AUDREY PLEASE!)
“He bewitched me.
Some books you read, and they’re like gorilla glue on your
heart- they stick to you. And its super annoying, you can’t get rid of it, you
can’t touch it- it’s there, just being all sticky and weird, wired into your arteries,
pumping and flowing through your veins- and when you think you get rid of this
gorilla glue- MORE shows up in its place. And so your like- F*** it, just leave
it- it’s never leaving me. Yeah- that’s Mabie’s Wake series for sure. So don’t
be stupid, and read all of these books stat. And just because, get the
paperbacks, cause they is pretty. Enjoy.
“Life with her made the blood pound harder in my chest. Made every
minute worth remembering. Made working hard and building a life for my family a
privilege.”
