“It suddenly made sense. Only twice in his life had he felt this inexplicable, almost mystical attraction to a woman. He鈥檇 thought it remarkable, to have found two, when in his heart he鈥檇 always believed there was only one perfect woman out there for him.

His heart had been right. There was only one.”
― Julia Quinn, An Offer From a Gentleman

“Something about telling that story made my gut grow back together."
What?"
Oh, nothing. Just thinking out loud."
That's who you really like. The people you can think out loud in front of."
The people who've been in your secret hiding places."
The people you bite your thumb in front of."
Hi."
Hi."

Wow. My first Lindsey."
My second Colin."
That was fun. Let's try it again."

“He murmured her name, tenderly taking her face in his hands. 鈥淚 love you,鈥� he said, his voice low and fervent. 鈥淚 love you with everything I am, everything I鈥檝e been, and everything I hope to be.鈥�

鈥淚 love you with my past, and I love you for my future.鈥� He bent forward and kissed her, once, softly, on the lips. 鈥淚 love you for the children we鈥檒l have and for the years we鈥檒l have together. I love you for every one of my smiles, and even more, for every one of your smiles.”
― Julia Quinn, Romancing Mister Bridgerton

“She had become the answer to prayers he hadn鈥檛 known he whispered.”

“She trailed after him, admiring the line of his back. He began climbing the stairs, and she sighed with pleasure. Every bit of him was gorgeous. 鈥淒o you mind if I objectify you?鈥�
鈥淧lease do,鈥� he said over his shoulder. 鈥淧articularly my knees, as they are oft-neglected.鈥�
鈥淢aybe if you ever got your pants off, they wouldn鈥檛 be.鈥�
鈥淚t hardly matters, sweet; once they鈥檝e come off, the attention isn鈥檛 likely to center on my absurdly handsome knees.”

“I reckon we could all use an opportunity to endear ourselves to our wives." He looked to Rycliff and Thorne. "When's the last time you did something heroic for your lady?"
Rycliff smirked. "Last night."
Thorne drained his tankard and cracked his neck. "This morning."
"I didn't mean in bed," Colin said. Under his breath he added, "Braggarts.”

“How did you know?鈥� Benedict finally asked.
One corner of Colin鈥檚 mouth tilted up into a crooked smile. 鈥淎bout Sophie? It鈥檚 rather obvious.鈥�
鈥淐olin, she鈥檚鈥斺€�
鈥淎 maid? Who cares? What is going to happen to you if you marry her?鈥� Colin asked with a devil-may-care shrug of his shoulders. 鈥淧eople you couldn鈥檛 care less about will ostracize you? Hell, I wouldn鈥檛 mind being ostracized by some of the people with whom I鈥檓 forced to socialize.鈥�
Benedict shrugged dismissively. 鈥淚鈥檇 already decided I didn鈥檛 care about all that,鈥� he said.
鈥淭hen what in bloody hell is the problem?鈥� Colin demanded.
鈥淚t鈥檚 complicated.鈥�
鈥淣othing is ever as complicated as it is in one鈥檚 mind.”

“The guy from the bar appeared silently at Uncle Billy's side, his expression cool and steady. He nodded at me once, and turned to my uncle. Seeing him face-to-face,I knew, absolutely, he wasn't just a regular customer. He was a complicationa. A big one. "Mo, meet Colin Donnelly. Your bodyguard.”
― Erica O'Rourke, Torn

“Okay, so anagrams. That鈥檚 one. Got any other charming talents?鈥� she asked, and now he felt confident.
Finally, Colin turned to her, gathering in his gut the slim measure of courage available to him, and said, 鈥淲ell, I鈥檓 a fair kisser.”

“Colin could not recall a single women ever regarding him with anything so neutral as detachment.It suddenly seemed important to ascertain if she was pretty, in the same way it was necessary to know whether a man was armed.”
― Julie Anne Long

“Do you have something to say?" I prompted. "Or do you just enjoy propping up the wall?"
Colin considered me for a moment longer. Aunt Arabella likes you."
He sounded unflatteringly perplexed.
"There is a small but vocal minority of people who do."
Colin had the good grace to look abashed. "Look, I didn鈥檛 mean to鈥�"
"Treat me like I have a loathsome social disease?"
His lips quirked with something that might have been amusement. "Do you?"
"None that I鈥檇 admit to in mixed company." After all, an unhealthy obsession with Cadbury Fruit & Nut bars isn鈥檛 the sort of weakness a girl confides in just anybody.”

“He smiled 鈥� a real smile. Damn. It was easier to deal with him when he was being thoroughly vile. "Look, I鈥檓 sorry for being so rude earlier today. Your presence came as something of a shock and I reacted badly."
"Oh." Geared for battle, his apology took me utterly by surprise. I gaped.
"Aunt Arabella spoke very highly of you," he added, heaping coals of fire on my head. "She was impressed by your work on the Purple Gentian."
"Why all this sudden amiability?" I asked suspiciously, crossing my arms across my chest.
"Are you always this blunt?"
"I鈥檓 too tired to be tactful," I said honestly.
"Fair enough." Stretching, Colin detached himself from the wall. "Can I make you some hot chocolate as a token of peace? I was just about to have some myself," he added.
Suiting action to words, he loped over to the counter beside the sink and checked the level of water in a battered brown plastic electric kettle. Satisfied, he plugged it into the wall, flipping the red switch on the side.
I followed him over to the counter, the linen folds of the nightgown trailing after me across the linoleum. "As long as you promise not to slip any arsenic in it."
Colin rooted around in a cupboard above the sink for the cocoa tin and held it out to me to sniff. "See? Arsenic free."
I leant back against the counter, my elbows behind me on the marble work surface. "I don鈥檛 think arsenic is supposed to have a smell, is it?"
"Damn, foiled again." Colin spooned Cadbury鈥檚 instant hot chocolate into two mugs, one decorated with large purple flowers, and the other with a quotation that I thought might be Jane Austen, but the author鈥檚 name was hidden around the other side of the mug. "Look, if it makes you feel better, I promise to do a very bad job hiding your body."
"In that case, carry on," I yawned.”

“Until yesterday, had someone even suggested that she go out with a guy with his past, she would have laughed aloud or - more likely - been offended. She should have simply said good-bye after he'd walked her to her car last night.
The very Idea of the two of them going out today was absurd, and yet. . . she had asked him, and she had trouble remembering exactly how that had happened or what she'd been thinking.
And yet, Colin was. . . magnetic”
