Romantic Gestures Quotes

“I googled “what to do when your future werewolf mate / boyfriend /best friend courts you and brings you a dead rabbit.”

First, there was a lot of porn. Then I found a recipe for Maltese rabbit stew. It was delicious. The stew, not the porn. The porn was weird.    ”

“I tended to be hard on the egos of a certain kind of men. The ones who normally swept women off their feet had never moved me much, because I'd always felt that if they swept me off my feet they'd practiced on a lot of women before me, and would practice more with women after me. I'd rarely been wrong on that. ~Anita Blake”

“This is my favorite part of you, your eyelashes when the light hits them like that. This is my favorite part of you, right where your ear meets your jawline. No, this is my favorite part, the little crease under the tip of your nose.



Well, I only like the tip of your nose. If you didn’t have such a great nose-tip, it would be over between us.”

“This is grisly.” He pointed at the page. “And it’s damn clever.”

Belle stared at the journal in his hand, her ears ringing. A rush of pride and disbelief radiated from her chest, all the way up to a smile she was trying very much to keep to herself.

Grisly. Damn clever.

If he did in fact intend to proposition her, he was making a strong case for himself.”
