"I would say The Notebook is also another one. Maybe because it’s like a reflection of that similar type of love story. Forbidden love is always nice to see on camera as well. Being young and not being allowed to date kind of started that whole thing. I do remember when Noah and Allie have their kind of sex scene, getting my eyes covered by my mom — which means I was very young. I was maybe like 10 years old when I watched that movie for the first time. But, again, also one of those movies where I watched again when I was 13, and then watched again when I was 14, and 15, and 16, and so on. I always find something new about it, and maybe it’s because now that I’m older, and you experience love differently, it changes the way you watch those movies for sure."

Touch ( selfish Myths book 1)

A mortal outcast, a mythical goddess, and a forbidden desire that defies the laws of magic.

They say I'm a celestial bad girl. But they're wrong--I'm far worse.

My name is Love. I spend my immortal years hunting within a frosted forest, matching human hearts with each mischievous strike of my arrow.

But in all my centuries, I've never known desire--until now.

He's a mortal. And the longer I'm with him, the more I crave his touch.

Yet binding myself to this human is forbidden. Without a doubt, it's fatal.

When I discover that he possesses abilities beyond his knowledge--a force strong enough to eradicate my kind--I have to make a choice.

One, destroy him before he destroys my race.

Or two, contain his magic by sealing his heart with someone else's.

This was a strange read but strange in a good way I think. It was a sweet story of love finding love for herself. I loved the interaction with the other emotional gods they certainly all have a story. I just can’t put my finger on what was so odd about the book I’m certainly interested in reading more by this author. For now this would be 3 stars for me.
