I went against all I believed in and fell in love with what should have been a one-night stand! I fought it, tried to make up rules to prevent the inevitable, but somehow, he knew all along. He understood what I wanted and was willing to comply. I was the one who took him for granted. I was the one who made him walk away. And now, he’s gone and I’m left with nothing but my thoughts and regrets. He was never supposed to be my happily ever after. But my favorite love story ends in tragedy, so why wouldn’t mine?
I played the white knight, doing what every woman dreams of to win her over, yet it still got me nowhere! But what did I expect? I wasn’t the man she wanted! Nothing I could have done would have landed me the girl. I guess love is funny that way. One minute, you think you have the girl, and the next, you realize you were blinded. Walking away was hard, but watching her with another man was harder.
Sometimes you have to pick your battles, and I know when I’ve lost. Love shouldn’t be a game, but I learned someone always loses. For once, I wasn’t the one being selfish, but I was the one who paid the price.

Love shouldn’t be a game but he learned someone always loses. For the first time in his life he was not being selfish. However hew as the one who paid the price.
I loved this book. Heck I loved Ryder and Ashlyn in the first book Selfish. I am so glad they got an ending I was disappointed when it didn’t happen in either Selfless or Myself. I could not wait to dive in. I love Ryder. I love how he is imperfect and learns as he goes. I loved watching the change in him as i read this book. Heck I loved the journey with both of these characters. I will tell you though that Ryder is frustrating in this book. Like I want to grab him and rind his neck frustrating at times. However it is all about falling in real true last forever love and mistakes are bound to be made. We all have to learn that do not jump to conclusions lesson at some point in our lives. And boy oh boy did it take Ryder a while to learn it. Poor Ashlyn, I don’t see how she isn’t at her whits end at times since Ryder doesn’t seem to listen at all. This book has it all!! Laughter, tears, anger, frustration. I found myself cracking up at just exactly the moment I needed it. This is a love story you do not want to miss.
Shantel Tessier has done an amazing job with this entire series. I can not wait to see what she comes out with next.
