Loving Mr. Daniels by Brittainy C Cherry REVIEW, QUOTES and EXCERPTION

Dedication

I see you.

I hear you.

I feel you.

I love you.

And you're not alone

Those dedications seemed light. Right, you haven't read the book yet. After reading this book, you'd change your thoughts about these 5 lines. This book can wake your emotions, break your heart, make you weak and finally gave into a teary mess.

You know what, I'm all about forbidden love. That's my thing. But these days? (ok, skip about my crappy life,) Ahamm... So, Forbidden Love. Yeah, this book is. Between Daniel and Ashlyn.

Have you read "Slammed" by Colleen Hoover (did I forget to mention that I am a big fan of her?, anyway). Loving Mr. Daniel is a lot like "Slammed" but, you know, I'm talking about Forbidden Love here. Student/Teacher thing?

Ashlyn and Daniel met the most romantic way > THE TRAIN !!!

Yesss, then, MET again @ the bar! What? Oh, but it's ok, the whole fated to fall in love with you thing is kinda romantic for me.

Afterwards,

Daniel turns out to be Ashlyn's teacher.

Ashlyn's dad turns out to be the Principle sry, wrong alert. Assistant Principle.

Hmm, you see where this thing is going? Pretty tragic.

You will eventually see the drama of Ashlyn's past. Think Daniel is clean? Nope!! He's got his own drama too. Family drama ~ I hate that.

I promised you the excerption, there,

We silenced our thoughts for a moment and both glanced down to our hands, which were still attached from our ‘goodnight’ handshake. Then a nervous laugh happened. I wasn’t sure if it was his nervous laughter or mine.
I broke the stillness and stepped backwards. Looking up into his blue eyes, I blinked once, hoping to not miss too much of his stare.
“Ashlyn,” I said, offering him my name.

He stumbled back a few steps with a wide, toothy smile.
“Ashlyn,” he sang.
“Just when I thought you couldn’t get any more stunning, you pull out a name like that.”

I slipped my hands into my pockets and stared up at the night sky. It all seemed so simple. A bar with music that touched my soul. A boy who knew what it was like to lose a part of his joy. A light breeze that refreshed my entire being.
“If there were a God, which I’m not certain that there is, do you think this night would be a form of apology for him taking away the things we loved?”

He released a breath and rubbed his hand across his mouth.
“I don’t know. But I think it’s a good start.”

We were silent again. I’d never known that a silence could feel so much like home. He couldn’t stop smiling, yet neither could I. They were intense, cheesy grins that felt nothing but natural.

He broke the stillness and stepped backwards.
“Well this has been a really fucking weird night.”
“I can second that.”

I told you it's romantic. I'll give you something more, there

He grew grim for a moment, deep in thought. I hated how I couldn’t read him. His eyes blinked and he looked up.
My eyes shifted to the ground. “Is it because of what the note said? Because I-I’m sorry if it’s too soon but—”
“No, Ash…” His face softened, all evidence of his sudden mood change gone.

“It’s nothing. Forget about it. Anyway, why did you bring it up? Jake texting you?”

I contemplated asking him about his thoughts, but I feared he would push himself away from me. Breathing deeply, I tried to clear the fog between us.

“I know I can’t say I’m seeing you…but maybe…” I pulled my hair to the side and held my neck out. “Maybe you can leave a mark saying that I’m yours?”

He snickered. “You want me to give you a hickey?” I nodded.

He sighed. “But that’s so...”
“High school-ish?” I laughed.

“Don’t forget, baby. Your girlfriend’s still a senior.”
“Mmm…girlfriend. I like the sound of that.” Daniel moved his mouth to my neck and slowly began to suck on my skin, teasing me. His tongue flicked back and forth slowly and then rapidly, his sucking becoming more intense.
I'm not giving you more :P Go read that book !!! >.<
Now, is the best part. Quotes times babe.

Find a way to be better, or find a way to be okay. Whatever you choose, I'll stay out of your way.

I don't know what to tell you, I don't know what to say. I only know that caring for you brings on more pain.

I guess sometimes, it was easier to be mean than to be hurt.

He found my stare, I didn't look away. I couldn't. He'd hypnotized me.

Before her, I never knew life. After her, I'd never know death.

You can apologize for punching someone, but it doesn’t stop the bruising.

Leave the past behind you so the future can find you.
