I don’t love you anymore”, she whispered. “I don’t love you at all.” His throat closed. “It’s all right, sweetheart. I love you enough for both of us.

If I could put my brain in her body, the world would be mine for the taking.

You’ll need to do a better job, Annabelle. No more dates like the first one tonight.””Agreed. And no more making me sit through your Power Matches introductions, either. As you so wisely pointed out, helping Portia Powers isn’t in my best interests.””Then why are you still trying to talk me into seeing Melanie again?””Hunger makes...

Torie doesn’t count. You were obviously her mother in a previous life.

I sure do miss that woman. Smart. Funny. Sweet. She never gave me a moment’s trouble.””Gosh, I’m sorry about that. I knew it was boring between you two, but not that bad.

Lo único que significa es que, aunque nos cueste comunicarnos a nivel mental, nuestros cuerpos no encuentran ninguna dificultad para hacerlo.

Ironic, isn’t it, what religion does to people?””I guess it’s more ironic what people do to religion.

Pride had kept her running when love had betrayed her.

Anything worth having is worth fighting for.

When male authors write love stories, the heroine tends to end up dead.

His writer’s words poured over her like poetry, and she couldn’t find a single wisecrack to put up between them.

When it’s your fourth marriage, you tend to lose faith in superstitions.

The engine roared to life. He ran toward her. She shot our of her parking space. He rushed to the side of her car. “Stop it, Kristy! You’re overreacting! Let’s talk about this.” That was when she did the unthinkable. She rolled down the window, thrust out her hand, and gave Reverend Ethan Bonner the...

His mother?” Gracie couldn’t believe it. Suzy Denton looked much too young to be his mother. And much too respectable. “But you’re not a-” She cut herself off in mid-sentence as she realized what she’d almost let slip.Suzy’s wedding ring clicked against the steering wheel as she gave it a hard smack. “I’m going to...

Chasing after a guy who’s not interested in you will rip the hell out of your self-respect. Better to face facts now because the longer you put it off, the harder it’ll be.

sometimes knowing when to give up is the real test of character…-annabelle granger

El orgullo la mantuvo en pie cuando el amor la traicionó.

Damn it! Are you so stupid you don’t know what I’m going to do to you?”Her eyes bore into his without flinching. “Are you so stupid you haven’t figured out yet that it doesn’t matter?

I happen to be immature, undisciplined, and self-centered, pretty much a little boy in a man’s body, although I’d appreciate it if you didn’t quote me on that.-Bobby Tom

Hold it right there. The only agreement we ever had was that you intended to make me as miserable as possible, and I intended to courageously make the best of an intolerable situation like valiant Southern women have always done.

In case you’re not bright enough to figure it out, there’s a real upside to having a sinner like me answer your phone. I lie, and your conscience stays clear.

Do you really expect me to fall apart every time another woman throws herself at you? Because, if that’s so, I’ll be a nervous wreck before the honeymoon’s over. Although, if they do it in front of me…”He went still. “Did you just propose to me?”She bristled. “Do you have a problem with that?”The scoreboard...

Dallas, is it remotely possible for you to carry on a conversation that’s not loaded down with manure?

Old radicals never changed. They just got law degrees and updated their bag of tricks.

I married a damned cereal killer

His fists clenched at his sides. ‘Damn it! Where’s your pride?’ ‘Pride? It’s in my heart, of course.’ ‘You’re letting me demean you!’ She smiled. ‘You can’t do that. I can only demean myself.

She reached into the pocket of her dress and threw the small stack of bills at him. They fluttered to the ground like broken dreams. “I hope you choke onevery penny.””Pick that up.”She drew back her arm and slapped him as hard as she could.

You couldn’t be satisfied with being an amateur asshole, could you, Jimbo! You had to go and turn pro on me!

He tunneled his dirty hands through her hair and kissed her breathless. Her neck, her eyes, the corners of her mouth. He kissed her lips as if his life depended on it. Kissed their future into her. All they could have and all they could be.

He set the suitcases in the back then tossed her the keys. “You drive.”She repressed a smile as she climbed behind the wheel. “With each passing day, your reasons for wanting a wife become clearer.

So, Beav, tell me about yourself.””I’m Blue.””Sweetheart, if I had your dubious taste in men, I wouldn’t be too happy, either.””My name is Blue. Blue Bailey.

What are you gonna do, angel face? Stab me with your eyebrow pencil?

The Cinderella story in reverse. I only wish there were ashes in the fireplace so I could order you to sweep them out.

I take thee… to be my awful wedded husband

If the way you’ve been treating me is a mark of fondness, maybe you’d better take a fresh look at your interpersonal communication skills.

I hate to admit this, but some days hearing about other people’s problems actually cheers me up.

I finally figured out that not every crisis can be managed. As much as we want to keep ourselves safe, we can’t protect ourselves from everything. If we want to embrace life, we also have to embrace chaos.

Maybe I should let my faithful manservant answer the rest of your questions, since he seems to have all the answers.””I’m saving her time,” Bodie replied. “She brings you a redhead, you’ll give her grief. Look for women with class, Annabelle. That’s most important. The sophisticated types who went to boarding schools and speak French....

If you were a sane woman, I would, of course, behave in a more rational fashion. Since you are a lunatic, however, this is the only way.

[Bobby Tom] finally understood Gracie’s function in his life. She was God’s joke on him.

He stopped to rest at a cart selling nuts and candy, bought himself some Jelly Belly’s, flirted just enought with the Mexican cutie working there to convince her pull out the banana-flavored one. Although he liked his Jelly Belly’s mixed up, he didn’t like banana, but, since it took too much effort to pull them...

When did my house turn into a hangout for every grossly overpaid, terminally pampered professional football player in northern Illinois?””We like it here,” Jason said. “It reminds us of home.””Plus, no women around.” Leandro Collins, the Bears’ first-string tight end emerged from the office munching on a bag of chips. “There’s times when you need...

The point I was trying to make before you interrupted with your inventoryof my personality is that neither of us is going to be able to stay celibate for the next six months.”She dropped her eyes. If only he knew that she’d stayed that way all her life.We’ll be living in close quarters,” he went...

Now, now. Southern ladies don’t French-kiss and tell.

I love you, Daisy. I love you so much I hurt.

Here’s the life lesson I’ve learned, Fifi: Some people are born to play the hero, and some are born to play the bad guy. Fighting your destiny only makes life harder than it needs to be. Besides, people remember the villain long after they’ve forgotten the hero.

Throughout the course of the day, Bobby Tom’s irritation over his artificially oiled and dirt-smeared chest and his unzipped jeans had flared into righteous indignation. They were treating him like a sex object! It was damned demeaning, that’s what it was, being reduced to a set of oil pecs and a tight ass. Shit. A...

Mummy’s coming home late tonight. It’ll be just we guys, so we can get drunk and watch porn.

He grinned, and right then it occurred to him that he hadn’t enjoyed himself so much with a woman in a very long time. If Annabelle Granger were a few inches taller, a hell of a lot more sophisticated, better organized, less bossy, and more inclined to worship at his feet, she’d have made a...

Never mind that. What’s going on with you and Heath?”Annabelle pulled a little wide-eyed innocence out of her rusty bag of college acting skills.”What do you mean? Business.””Don’t give me that. We’ve been friends too long.”She switched to a furrowed brow. “He’s my most important client. You know how much this means to me.”Molly wasn’t...
