Book 3 of TEE = perfect...
OMG, Book3 was shipper heaven! When Sicarius told Amaranthe that "You're the only person who's ever wanted to give me happiness," I think I may have died!!!!
And teasing and OMFG hugging. AND KISSING!!!! KISSING!!!!!!!!. Amazing kissing.
There was also the bit where he was jealous (heeee) and the whole fact that he got captured by the bad guys because while he knew with his assassin insticts he got too close to his spying targets for safety, he didn't want to return without answers and disappoint Amaranthe.
Also! KISSING!!!!!!
Also, this exchange made me both die of shippy and giggle like a maniac:
"If it's about Sespian, I can understand you not wanting more obstacles between you two, but it would be my choice. Even if he does still have feelings, which is unlikely."
"You might decide he's a better choice."
"Oh, I am certain he is." Amaranthe grinned, though the deepening darkness probably hid it. "But, as you pointed out, I like a challenge. Why would I want to spend time with some adoring, warm youngster when I could have a stiff, aloof assassin whose idea of romance involves throwing knives and running up stairs together?"
"That's not romance; that's training."
"Is there a difference for you?"
"Slight."
Did I mention the KISSING?!
