THIEF
Note to Self
Love is patient; love is kind.
Love doesn't boast or brag.
There's no arrogance in love;
it's never rude, crude, or indecent-it's not self absorbed.
Love isn't easily upset.
Love doesn't tally wrongs.
Love trusts, hopes, and endures no matter what.
Love will never become obsolete.
I'll fight for her.

Okay, I took almost a 24 hour breather after finishing this
book. Well if you have not read Tarryn Fisher before then let me tell you a
thing or two about her books or specially her trilogy of Love me with Lies...
The story, the characters, the twist and turns, the lies and love is so
overwhelming that when you start reading the story you would be unable to put
it away until you have reached the last word of last page at least twice. And
then you would need to put it away and sort your thoughts, when all the while
you are thinking "WTF" ... What just happened... yes that's why you
need a breather..
So, here I am, after taking a break from this series exactly
after 24 hours of finishing it… just to seek my thoughts for this particular one…
The best thing about the third book in this series was it
was equally good as the last three, it tended to all the loose ends and lope
holes in the earlier stories and gave a mind blowing Point of View of Caleb in
all the past scenes more than half of which were already mentioned in the first
and the second book.
The story was more occupied with both of our favorite
characters Caleb and Olivia Kaspen. And the end was most justified just like
Tarryn's style real, practical and badA**...
The things that I found a little unsettling was the
characterization of Olivia Kaspen, as this book shows you how much Caleb wants Olivia
and what he is willing to do to get her back in his life. Yet all Olivia has
done is run and deny. Yes I agree that's what the Olivia's characters main
essence is, but one would think after 10 years of ups and downs the woman would
have learned a thing or two, but one might get a little disappointed by the way
story has presented her in this book, I surely was, specially nearing the end
when she does become emotionally available for Caleb during his hard times, but
she could have contacted him long before when her Divorce was finalized.
So book was amazing and so was Caleb and I thoroughly
enjoyed what Leah received in the end, all good and will leave you with happy
feeling but my best part was the epilogue. It made me think that people who
have done wrong to many, have been mean to many sometimes to find their love
and sometimes to run away from it, can never really find total happiness and
full contentment, there is too much damage on their list ..
They are flawed and imperfect. But they are perfect for each other. The end is perfect in its imperfections.
They are flawed and imperfect. But they are perfect for each other. The end is perfect in its imperfections.
So yes I agreed with the ending, it came full circle.
I gave four stars to each book and each one is a master
piece in itself. If you enjoy adult romance genre, you would definitely love
this story which is so not a Love Story , though heart touching.. melting.. uhh
stabbing.... but definitely not Romantic...
"How many times can a heart be broken before it is beyond mend? How many times can I wish to not be alive? How can one human being cause such a crack in my existence? I alternate between periods of numbness and inconceivable pain all in the span of — an hour? An hour feels like a day, a day feels like a week.
I want to live, and then I want to die.
I want to cry, and then I want to scream.I want, I want, I want…
Olivia.
But, I don’t. I want her to suffer. I want her to be happy. I want to stop thinking altogether and be locked in a room without thoughts.
Possibly for a year.I run. I run so much that if the zombie apocalypse were to happen, they’d never be able to catch me.
When I run I don’t feel anything but the burning in my lungs. I like the burn; it lets me know I can still feel when I’m having a numb day. When I am having a day of pain, I drink.
There is no cure."

Snippets from the Book
"Olivia.
I've lost her three times. The first was to impatience. The second was
to a lie so dense we couldn't work our way through it, and the third
time - this time - I've lost her to Noah."
"Broken
people give broken love. And we are all a little broken. You just have
to forgive and sew up the wounds love delivers, and move on."
Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try ...

"Life does not accommodate you, it shatters you. Love is mean,
but it’s good. It keeps us alive. If you need her, then wait. But, right
now she’s getting married. It’s her day and you can’t ruin it."
"How is it that you always let me go easily then? Why don't you know that I want you to fight for me?"
"It took me a long time to figure out that's what you were saying...But ten years later, here I am. Fighting. I'd like to think I've learned from my mistakes. I'd also like to think we've finally made it to the point where we are ready for each other...Maybe this is finally our time. Maybe."
"So, I fight. That's it. That's my only option. And if I don't get her, If she doesn't choose me. I'm going to be that guy - who spends his life alone and pining. Because I sure as hell am not going to replace her with any more Leahs or Jessicas or any-goddamn-body-else...It's Olivia or nothing."

"Eventually. That word is so us, isn't it?...Eventually, we'll come back together, fall apart, come back together."
It is kismet. They are soulmates.
"We are gonna be okay. That's what happens when two people are meant. You just work it out until you are okay.
“She will be your destruction. She's not healthy."
I gently removed her hand from my arm. "Then let her destroy me.”

"I'll
do whatever I have to do to protect you. I'll lie, cheat, and steal to
make you okay. I'll share your suffering, and I'll carry you when you're
weighed down. I'll never leave you, not even when you ask me to. Do you
believe me?"
"Maybe
our souls touched underneath that tree. Maybe I decided to love her.
Maybe love wasn't our choice. But when I looked at that woman, I saw
myself differently."
She has the kind of love that can stain your soul, make you beg
not to have one, just to escape the spell she's put you under. I've
tried to break myself of her over and over, but it's pointless. I've got
more of her in my veins than blood.
