Quotes by Gil Brewer (?)

“She looked hot enough to catch fire, but too lazy to do anything but just lie there and smoke.”

“She looked slick as hell; polished, neat, and with that feminine deadliness that can drive you nuts. They work on it till they get complete control of the situation. There's no use trying to break them down. They've made it.”

“She looked like a vixen, and that’s what she was; she had all the instincts of a female fox. She was the proverbial predatory female. She had what she wanted, now, and she was content. There was just the getting completely away with it that counted.”
― Gil Brewer, Sin for Me
