“Blaire, even if all we do is kiss or just lay there and talk, I'm okay with that. I just wanted you up here. Close to me.”
― Abbi Glines, Fallen Too Far

“When you find someone you want to spend forever with you, you don't let them go, whether forever turns out to be a day or a year of fifty years. Don't let the fear of losing them keep you from loving them.”
― Nicole Williams, Crash

“I need you. Right now. Let me love you right here, please.”
― Abbi Glines, Fallen Too Far

“Caring for someone is scary, because you both know how it feels to lose someone in the span of a heartbeat.”
― Nicole Williams, Crash

“Holy bad boy Batman!”
― A. Meredith Walters, Bad Rep

“I don’t get where he gets off thinking he should be able to have his cake and eat it too because news flash, this cake store is fucking closed.--Lane”
― Michelle A. Valentine, Rock the Heart

“Yes we do. If I don’t have you soon, I’m going to implode. Can’t you see that? I want you to be with me. I can’t stand all these guys coming on to you. The fact that I’m not allowed to do a God damn thing about it because you’re not mine is killing me.â€�--Noel”
― Michelle A. Valentine, Rock the Heart

“Fuck the entire world. All that matters is what you think of me.--Noel”
― Michelle A. Valentine, Rock the Heart

“This is my first real memory of James. In every memory before that, he’s just a flash of color, a warm body with a blurred face, a comforting voice begging me not to die. When he planted himself between our father and me that day, an eight-year-old with small fists clenched at his sides, I think I fell in love with my brother.”
― Kate Avelynn, Flawed

“I can tell you, Jay, nothing that happens in this life is worth killing yourself over. Time passes, and you can decide to change your future. You don't let what some assholes say or do, direct you. In this life, it only matters what you do with it.”
― Nicole Reed, Ruining Me

“James is why I never left. I should have left.”
― Kate Avelynn, Flawed

“He stabs his fingers through his drying hair and resumes his pacing. “You think I don’t know this went really fast? I didn’t plan for this to happen. Hell, I didn’t even know if you’d let me talk to you, much less be with you. But then you did and we did and…â€� He stops in the center of the room and stares at me, his shoulders sagging. “I figured out pretty quick that this is a forever thing for me. I think it has been from the very beginning.”
― Kate Avelynn, Flawed

“Two babies in little more than a year and a half. Knockout Jimmy was forced to give up boxing and take a job in the paper mill.

It broke him, and in turn, he broke us all.”
― Kate Avelynn, Flawed

“Rena?â€� I looked up as a figure emerged from the white void of snowfall. The snow dusted his broad shoulders as he took long, measured strides toward me, his black coat flapping in the wind.

As he neared, I made out his startled features. “Wallace?�

His gaze burned with indiscernible emotion. “Are you hugging the lamp post?”
― Carrie Butler, Strength

“Lacing my fingers through his, I studied them. His fingers were so much longer than mine, and I envisioned what those fingers could do. And how long they would take to do it before they sent me over the edge. - Lacey”
― Victoria H. Smith, The Space Between

“Well, why not just snap my damn olive branch and beat me with it? I was only trying to help.”
― Carrie Butler, Strength

“He pries me from his chest and drops his hand from the back of my head, tracing my ear, along my jawline. He snatches his fingers a moment before they press into my lip.”
― Rebecca Berto, Drowning in You

“James “Knockout Jimmyâ€� O’Brien, Granite Fall’s very own boxing legend—a title he held until a young groupie poked holes in the condom she made him wear “for protection.â€�

My brother was born nine months later, fists already swinging.”
― Kate Avelynn, Flawed

“Selfish as this sounds, I meant what I said earlier,â€� he finally says.

I try to remember what he said, but everything is kind of a blur. “Which part?�

“The ‘I’m glad you came tonight� part.�

So I’m not imagining the nudging or the sparks or what I could have sworn was his thumb tracing circles on the back of my hand while we walked to his car. “Mmm. Well in that case, I meant what I said, too.�

He kicks a rock I’m two steps from tripping over out of my path. “You said the potholes in Leslie’s driveway suck.”
― Kate Avelynn, Flawed

“I feel his intense gaze skimming my face and force myself to look him in the eye. This time, when he leans closer, I know what he wants. He traces my jaw with his fingertips, then moves lower to my chin. My eyelids flutter closed when he tips my face up.

Oh my God. Sam Donavon is going to kiss me.

The forest holds its breath.

I hold my breath.

Our lips brush, light as eyelashes. His fingers trail back into my hair, tilting my head. Hot cinnamon dances across my mouth.

I’m drowning.

And then my name, roared at the top of familiar lungs, cracks the silent night.”
― Kate Avelynn, Flawed

“I plastered on my best poker face, attempting to appear cool and casual even thought I had never been so eager to deliver two Chicken Parmagianas in my life.
"Just be careful, hon," Rosanna said.
"Oh, are the plates hot?" I flinched back just before my hands made contact.
Rosanna laughed. "No, but hot boys can burn just as easily.”
― C.J. Duggan, The Boys of Summer

“Their eyes locked.
They could see into each other's souls. This was why she had been born.”
― Marion Croslydon, Oxford Whispers

“Maybe that was why another part of me--a very small part--had wanted to kiss Wallace then. Both sides of his mouth, between his brows, and every other place those stupid worry lines marred his expression. That part of me had wanted to hold him tight and give him the comfort I knew he couldn’t ask for.

But that part terrified me the most.”
― Carrie Butler, Strength

“He gazed deeply into my eyes. Placing his hand to my cheek, he caressed my skin with his fingertips. “Ariel, you have a strength that cannot be hindered by anything. A strength that I admire greatly.â€� - Luca”
― Victoria H. Smith, The Crimson Hunt

“He stood there tall and dashing, peering down at her with a set of mesmerizing sapphire eyes. It wasn’t the eyes that had her sex-drive squealing into overdrive; it was that…hair. Now, Tarrah had never really been into redheads before, but damn, she sure as hell would be willing to convert.”
― Victoria H. Smith, Holiday Fling

“That girl was a goddess and once a guy got hooked on her it was damn hard weaning off. - Drake”
― Victoria H. Smith, The Space Between

“So nothing! Look, I get that coming here meant you could finally do things on your own, but you are just supposed to just take sips of freedom Norah â€� don’t just slam it down your throat like a tequila shot!”
― Angela Richardson, Pieces of Lies

“Their eyes locked.
They could see into each other's souls. This was why she had been bored.”
― Marion Croslydon, Oxford Whispers

“Cole radiated that cool, bad boy sort of confidence—the kind that left most women flustered and ready.”
― Carrie Butler, Strength

“So what’s your name?â€� the stranger asked.

Tarrah pulled his shirt away from her head and held out her hand. “Tarrah. Tarrah Reid.�

He slipped his hand into hers, his cheeks stiffening as he held back a smile.

Tarrah sighed, knowing exactly what he was thinking. She was completely aware of the fact that she held the name of a famous Hollywood actress. The association actually helped with her “Christmas floozyâ€� persona during the holidays, so she’d never really minded.”
― Victoria H. Smith, Holiday Fling
