"I'll follow you to the next life if I have to,"he whispered harshly in her ear. "You'll never be free of me. I'll chase you through heaven and hell and beyond."He continued to whisper without stopping while his hands gripped her body close to his. "You stay with me, Holly,"he muttered savagely. "Don't do this to me. You stay, damn you."

"Picnics are very dear to those who are in the first stage of the tender passion."

"There was nowhere I could go that wouldn't be you."

"If you die, angel, it means I'm already dead."

"While Maddox now believed the demon did not want to hurt Ashlyn, he wasn't willing to take a chance. He would talk about flowers and moonbeams - he cringed - if it meant maintaining this delectable inner peace."Is there a way to break your death-curse?"Ashlyn asked. So much for flowers and moon-beams."

"Everything changes except the love."

"You sleep okay, sweetie?” “Miss my teddy,” Billie replied. Personally, I thought Detective Mitch Lawson was far superior to a tiny pink teddy bear but I wasn’t six years old."

"Romance takes place in the middle distance. Romance is looking in at yourself through a window clouded with dew. Romance means leaving things out: where life grunts and shuffles, romance only sighs."

"I spoke like a spoke on a wheel, as I went around and around without actually saying what I wanted to say. I was love flustered."

"I no longer believed in the idea of soul mates, or love at first sight.

"You know that we've got a few problems we need to talk through before we get married.""I'm not getting rid of Pooh.""See, there you go being antagonistic. Marriage means learning to compromise.""I didn't say I wouldn't compromise. I promise to take the ribbon out of her topknot before you walk her."

"I suppose it’s not a social norm, and not a manly thing to do — to feel, discuss feelings. So that’s what I’m giving the finger to. Social norms and stuff…what good are social norms, really?

"Once she kissed me, my heart slowed, and every muscle in my body relaxed. How much I needed her terrified me. -pg 252/ARC"

"Love flows like flowers, and grows like water. I’m so thirsty for romance I could drink a dozen roses."

"So we forgive each other?"The crooked smile climbs up one more time. "Again?"And I look right into his eyes, right into him as far as I can see, because I want him to hear me, I want him to hear me with everything I mean and feel and say."Always,"I say to him. "Every time."

"We’re never gonna understand women. They’re way too complex. You’ve got too many variables to consider. PMS, bad hair days, miscellaneous mood swings . . . there’s no way to tell what’s causing their attitude. - Mike"

"I didn't want to give you the one last part of myself that I couldn't take back. And then you were gone... And I realized it was already yours. It had been since the beginning. Except that I hadn't told you. It drove me mad, the thought that you would never know."
