| Fight Princess |
We asked authors to send us a favorite line from their book(s)
… the one that made them love a character more or want to kick them to the curb?
"I'll do whatever I have to do to keep you safe--even if
it means losing whatever chance I might have of gaining any kind of affection from
you."

"It would probably be better if you just killed me, I'm
going to die from embarrassment anyway," he admitted with a small grin.
Her gaze dropped to his lap. Finn shifted uncomfortably. Did
she think he was hung like a horse? If her expectations were that high, he probably
shouldn't take her home tonight. Otherwise they'd both be disappointed.
"You are so beautiful, I could write a hundred songs about
you." Link whispered before pulling her head closer and softly kissing her
lips.

"You taste so very good, I could drink from your body all
night." His seductive voice washed over her as his lips locked once more to
start the dance of tongues again.
Traces, Ghosts
of Roseville Book 1 by Betty Bolté
Sometimes our scars help show the strength we've developed through
the adversity in our lives.
"You know, they say if you apply pressure to a certain spot
of the sole, you can stimulate every nerve in the body."
In
Season, Children of Nanook Book 2 by Allie Ritch
"Any male who calls you unworthy is a fool."
Miles leaned in and kissed her cheek before saying, "You're
the loveliest bloated woman here."
(Why do I love this line? Because it makes me laugh!)
"I didn't want to be in your line of fire, Princess. Vases
hitting my head, nails scratching my eyes out, or teeth sinking into my arm are
not my idea of foreplay." Tiro laughed at his own words and the look of shock
now clouding Callista's face.

| Aaron's Will |
"…I'm going insane with wanting you. I want you when I wake
up, when I go to bed and every horrible minute in between. I want you when you're
here and when you're not, when I'm in meetings with the board, when I'm at home
eating my dinner. And I'm afraid, Dylan. I'm truly afraid I'm starting to hate you
for making me deny it."
"Did aliens beam off your clothing just before you tripped
and fell on his dick?"
"Hi. My son asked me to come today. I wasn't sure if I could
make it."
There she was, beautiful, soft, and made for touching. So he
did.
Tyburn,
The Southwark Saga Book 1 by Jessica Cale
"I know enough about you. You're generous and kind, you're
thoughtful and beautiful, and I can't get you out of my mind. I would like nothing
more on this earth than to take you right here, or anywhere else, for that matter,
but I want you to be mine."

| Hard Act to Follow |
"I'm just scared I ruined a great thing trying for an amazing
thing."
(I love how hard Greg loves Kyrie, first as a friend, and later
with more intense feelings. The problem is he's scared that acting on his desires
will screw up their current platonic relationship.)
"Football – that's the one with the brown ball that bounces
funny when you dribble it, right?"
"Don't get all old-fashioned on me now. What I can or cannot
handle is my call—in bed and out."
"We can't just instantaneously pick up where we left off."
Jenna heard her voice incrementally rising.
"May the saints protect me from idiots and fools, both of
which apply to you at the moment," she spat the words at him.

"Sorry for what Shane?" She snapped. "Sorry for
swearing at me? Sorry for thinking I'd slept with someone else while you were away,
or sorry for being a prize jerk?"
"You're not pathetic. You left everything behind and came
somewhere you didn't know anyone, and you did so partly to protect your family.
And instead of giving in, you made a new life for yourself, far away from loved
ones and while still healing from something terrible. That takes strength. It's
not the absence of fear that makes us strong, it's coping with the fear. You did
cope with it and you survived. You're a survivor, Kayley."
(The words Luke says that made me fall head over heels are when
he comforts the novels heroine, Kayley, after she says she feels like a failure
for running away after a violent attack. Him saying this is so important to Kayley.
It helps her see things from a new perspective and it was the moment I truly fell
for Luke as a hero.)
"I hate myself. Hate my weakness when it comes to you. Hate
how much I want you. How much I still want you. I have no right to feel this way,
yet I can't stop this need. Every time I see you … every time I fucking think about
you, all I want is to knock you beneath me and bury myself inside you."
(One of my favorite line's that made me ache to wrap my arm's
around Pete Cross in Cross My Heart)

| A Gentleman's Folly |
"Brass ring indeed, Charles Henry Leverret. I'll turn you
into a man of some merit before I'm done with you."
(I struggled to find the perfect line/s for my quote. My main
character/hero did many things that disgusted me and made me wonder if I was actually
going to be able to redeem him in the end. I certainly wished to toss him out many
times. In fact, his best friend, Cliff, was interested in my heroine and quite tempting
to her. Especially as Cliff is such a charming and likeable character. Cliff nearly steals the show. In this quoted scene,
my heroine, Grace, has just witnessed the hero, Stonebridge (the duke) announce
his engagement to another woman (at a ball) the day after they finally slept together!
Needless to say, she is devastated. He spies
her leaving the ballroom and races after her. He catches up to her as she's about
to exit the ball via a garden gate. The entire chapter is gut-wrenching after everything
my hero does and says to fight his attraction to Grace because he feels he needs
to do what he's supposed to do - not what he wants... The first sentence is the
duke speaking and is written from his POV.)
"How did you think this was going to end, Grace? With a
ring on your finger and a wedding at St. George's?"
She squared her shoulders and stood up to his cruel words. God,
she was beautiful. A goddess. A light in his world of darkness.
"Contrary to what you might think, Your Grace, I had no
expectations of how this would end, at all. However, I was under the mistaken impression
that you were not a coward. You, with all your power and privilege, could have anything
you want. At the very least, you could have found a way to speak to me today. After
last night, yes, I admit, I had thought there might be a possibility. . ."
She stopped and shook her head. She laughed to herself, a self-deprecating laugh
he hated to hear at the moment. She said something else instead. "I had thought
you were a real man." She looked him up and down. "I see I was mistaken."
Then, she turned to leave.
Cliff stood behind her, and he was beyond furious. He gave her
a brief, reassuring smile, though, before confronting him. "Name your seconds.
. ."

| Not For Me |
"It's not a job interview."
"No, it's worse. A totally unfamiliar social situation."
"I am here to service you, my lady. Not myself."
"I love you too much to stay." ~Tiberius
Damn she looked fine, a smudge of paint on her face and in her
hair, still breathing hard from their kiss.
(One of my favorite lines. I had a hard time choosing!)
Nightwalker,
A Leah Wolfe SINS Novel Book 1 by Rhonda L. Print
(My favorite line from one of my characters? So glad you asked
as it popped right into my head. It's from my debut novel, Nightwalker: A Leah Wolfe
SINS Novel and it's spoken by Leah Wolfe to her ex-fiancé when he told her that
the affair he had was an accident.)
"An accident?" I asked incredulously. "A fucking
accident. You just happened to have a hard on and 'accidentally' fell into her.
Is that what you're going to stand there and tell me? Fuck you. Fuck this."

| Love Me Not |
The kiss was light, and then I paused. "Stop me," I
said, "if I hurt you."
Harper grabbed his arm and flipped him onto the bed face down,
arms locked behind his back, a steak knife to his throat. His legs were splayed,
and her knee nudged his crotch.
"Harper," he choked out, "I'm CIA. I'm one of
the good guys."
"I never realized a man could kiss, unbutton a shirt, and
unhook a bra, all in fifteen seconds."
"That was very naughty, Isabel. You were told to stay still
and not to let go of the bedclothes." He punctuated the last word with a swift
slap to her right ass cheek. She felt the quick sting and jerked down into the bed.
He rubbed the sting away with his warm palm. "Now stay still this time,"
he ordered.
