Dangerous Hero Addict Support Group discussion

This thread is for members to post quotes from books you've read and enjoyed.

Keep in mind this is a general audience group, although that doesn't mean you can't post a quote with mild profanity.

I love this quote..... and I've read those scenes from Dreamfever again and again and again....

“Open your eyes and say my name.”

I squeeze them shut more tightly.

“It would make my cock hard to hear you say my name.”

My eyes pop open. “Jericho Barrons,” I say sweetly.

He makes a pained sound. “Bloody hell, woman, I think a part of me wants to keep you this way.”

I touch his face. “I like how I am. I like how you are, too. When you are…What is that word you used? Cooperating.”

“Tell me to fuck you.”

I smile and comply. We’re back in territory I understand.

“You didn’t say my name. Say my name when you tell me to fuck you.”

“Fuck me, Jerricho Barrons.”

“From now on, you will call me Jericho Barrons every time you speak to me.”

Nice quote Ame. Maybe I need to give the Fever series another try. I only got 3 books in when I moved on to something else.

Here's one of my favorites:
“I'm human," he said in a tormented tone. "And I'm not." He dropped his hand to her shoulder. "I never knew softness," he breathed. "Not until the moment you touched me in your store. My life is violent and dangerous. Its dark and twisted and no place for someone like you. I have more people wanting me dead than I can count. They will stop at nothing, and you.." He ground his teeth before he spoke again. "You'll never want again for anything in your life. I swear it on what little bit of human soul I have left.”
― Sherrilyn Kenyon, Night Play

You should Jessica... book 4&5 are the best... but I liked all of them though...

I like this one too.

“The last time I wore an animal hide; but this time I settled for this." Eric had been wearing a long trench coat. Now he threw it off dramatically, and I could only stand and stare. Normally, Eric was a blue-jeans-and-T-shirt kind of guy. Tonight, he wore a pink tank top and Lycra leggings[...]They were pink and aqua, like the swirls down the side of Jason's truck.”
― Charlaine Harris, Living Dead in Dallas


I fell in love with Eric during this book....sigh...

Jessica you should definitely read Fever till the end! It's mind-blowing. I haven't read a series like it before.


I HAVE SPOILERS IN MY QUOTES! Just an FYI.. Aren't we trying to spoil a little in our quotes?

Gabrielle to Master Marcus

“My ex—may he soon discover tiny worms have invaded his body and are slowly eating him alive—once told me God made men so perfect because He'd wanted to make up for the inadequacies of women.”

-Gena Showalter, Animal Instincts

“Take deep slow breaths,” it told her. “It will calm you.”
Calm her? Slow breaths? Instead she sucked in a breath to tell it to
go to hell, but ended up sending her late-night snack spewing across the
dragon’s foot.
Staring down, it muttered, “Oh, that’s just vile.”
Talaith’s eyes narrowed and suddenly she found her voice. “And yet, I
feel remarkably better,” she sneered.”

Briec to Taliath

“Gwenvael looked down at his body. Horrified, he sat up. “What is this? What’s happened to me?”
“Calm down. It’ll heal quick enough, I’m sure.”
“Heal? I’m hideous!”
“You’re alive.”
“Hideously alive!” He covered her face with his hands. “Don’t look at me! Look away!”
“Stop it!” She pulled at his hands. “Have you lost your mind?”

Gwenvael dropped back to the bed, turned his face toward the wall. “You know what this means, don’t you?”
“Gwenvael—”
“I’ll have to live alone, at the top of a castle somewhere. I’ll hide from the daylight and only come out at night.”
“Please stop this.”
“I’ll be alone but not for long because you’ll all want me more. You’ll lust for the beautiful warrior I once was and pity the hideous creature I’ve become. Most importantly, you’ll want to soothe my pain.” He looked at her again. “Don’t you want to soothe my pain? Right now? Without that dress on?”
“No. I do not.”
Dagmar tried to stand, and Gwenvael caught her hand, pulling her back down. “You can’t leave me. I’m tortured and brooding. You need to show me how much you adore me so I can learn to love myself again.”
“You’ve never stopped loving yourself.”
“Because I’m amazing.”

― G.A. Aiken, What a Dragon Should Know

“I already explained this. I don’t like you. True, I don’t like most people, but I especially dislike you. I could start my own religion based on how much I dislike you.”

Dagmar to Gwenvael

“Wolves? I should have known. Of course you have wolves. Doesn’t everybody?” She snapped her fingers. “The gun, Lucian. Hand it over. I’ve decided I have to shoot you after all. It’s the only way to preserve my sanity.”

Jaxon to Lucien (My Favorite Carpathian couple. Because I love Lucien so much.)

SPOILER!!!

“His hand was on my throat, and he was crushing me back with his body into the cold steel beam behind me. "Yes, I have loved, Ms. Lane, and although it‘s none of your business, I have lost. Many things. And no, I am not like any other player in this game and I will never be like V‘lane, and I get a hard-on a great deal more often than occasionally." He leaned fully against me and I gasped.

"Sometimes it‘s over a spoiled little girl, not a woman at all. And yes, I trashed the bookstore when I couldn‘t find you. You‘ll have to choose a new bedroom, too. And I‘m sorry your pretty little world got all screwed up, but everybody‘s does, and you go on. It‘s how you go on that defines you." His hand relaxed on my throat. "And I am going to tattoo you, Ms. Lane, however and wherever I please.”

― Karen Marie Moning, Bloodfever

Barrons to Mac (THIS SCENE!!!! *fans self*)

“I don't have any idea what to wear anymore, so I tried to cover all bases."
"Try skin."
"Little chilly for that."
We looked at each other across the coffee table.
His eyes didn't say, I'd heat you up, and mine didn't say What are you waiting for? He didn't reply, Fuck if I'm making the first move, so I was careful not to say, I wish you would, because I can't, because I'm... and he didn't snap ...choking on your pride?!
"As if you aren't."
"Excuse me?"
"Really Barrons," I said drily. "I'm not the only one who didn't just not have that conversation, and you know it."
There was the faint, sexy lift of his lip. "You're a piece of work, Ms. Lane."
"Right back at you.”

― Karen Marie Moning, Shadowfever

OMG Goge love that quote, but also love this one...

He begins moving again. After a while, he pulls me around and kisses me. “You’re Mac,” he says. “And I’m Jericho. And nothing else matters. Never will. You exist in a place that is beyond all rules for me. Do you understand that?”
I do.
Jericho Barrons just told me he loves me.’
-Shadowfever, page 562

OF COURSE I love that one too! I love everything BARRONS-RELATED.

"We've braved its ghosts often together, and dared each other to stand among the graves and ask them to come. But, Heathcliff, if I dare you now, will you venture? If you do, I'll keep you. I'll not lie there by myself: they may bury me twelve feet deep, and throw the church down over me, but I won't rest till you are with me. I never will!"

“The chef turned back to the housekeeper. “Why is there doubt about the relations between Monsieur and Madame Rutledge?”

The sheets,” she said succinctly.

Jake nearly choked on his pastry. “You have the housemaids spying on them?” he asked around a mouthful of custard and cream.

Not at all,” the housekeeper said defensively. “It’s only that we have vigilant maids who tell me everything. And even if they didn’t, one hardly needs great powers of observation to see that they do not behave like a married couple.”

The chef looked deeply concerned. “You think there’s a problem with his carrot?”

"Watercress, carrot—is everything food to you?” Jake demanded.

The chef shrugged. “Oui.”

Well,” Jake said testily, “there is a string of Rutledge’s past mistresses who would undoubtedly testify there is nothing wrong with his carrot.”

Alors, he is a virile man . . . she is a beautiful woman . . . why are they not making salad together?”

"What?" she cried. "You're just making stuff up!"

Ok... since we're doing more than PNR....

Roarke is quite quoteworthy... as are the In Death books.....

"For once, he slept first. She lay in the dark, listening to him breathe, stealing a little of his warmth as her own body cooled. Since he was asleep, she stroked his hair.

"I love you," she murmured. "I love you so much, I'm stupid about it."

With a sigh, she settled down, closed her eyes, and willed her mind to empty.
Beside her, Roarke smiled into the dark.

He never slept first."

"I want to see you again." He stopped, took her face in his hands. "I need to see you again."

Her pulse jumped, as if it had nothing to do with the rest of her. "Roarke, what's going on here?"

"Lieutenant." He leaned forward, touched his lips to hers. "indications are we're having a romance."

Gawd.... how can one NOT covet this man??

"One day you do meet a man who kisses you and you can't breath around it and you realize you don't need air. Oxygen is trivial. Desire makes life happen. Makes it matter. Makes everything worth it. Desire is life. Hunger to see the next sunrise or sunset. To touch the one you love, to try again."

“I do believe you’re the only sub I’ve seen reduced to tears before her dom caught her,” Marcus’s soft drawl came from the shadows. He’d been standing there, watching her wallow in unhappiness. She gulped, wanting to bury her face against his chest and cry. Not going to happen, wussy girl.

-Cherise Sinclair, Make Me, Sir

Master Marcus to Gabi

Candles should be used for meditation…for romance. Or on a birthday cake at least. So where was the cake? The present? The song? As he stepped closer to her—as the damned flame got way too close—she started singing. “Happy birthday to me. Happy birthday to me…” Marcus paused, looking at her in disbelief. See. I knew he didn’t have a sense of humor. “Happy birthday, dear Gabi”—she lifted her head and blew out the candle—“happy birthday to me.” He stared at her, and she tensed, and then he burst out laughing, so loud and strong that she giggled. God, he was so incredibly sexy when he laughed. The stony-faced Master Nolan walked into the roped-off area and stared at her with unforgiving, dark eyes. “Marcus, you’re a pitiful excuse for a dom, let alone a trainer,” he said in his rough voice. And loudly too. “Beat her. Don’t laugh at her.”

-Cherise Sinclair, Make Me, Sir

“Beth, do you love me?”
She tilted her head back to smile up at him. “You know I do.”
“Do you like living with me?” He framed her face, his hands almost as scarred as his sub’s body.
“Of course.”
“You trust me.”
“With everything in me,” she whispered.
“Am I your dom, little rabbit?”
“Yes.” Her red-brown brows drew together. “What’s wrong?”
“Not a thing.” He gave her a faint smile, and his gravelly voice deepened. “I thought I’d tell you we’re getting married next month. We need to get a plane ticket for your mama.”
[..]
“What?” “You heard me, honey.”
“That’s…that’s not any kind of a proposal. You can’t…” Nolan’s mouth tightened, and he gave her a look any sub in the world would recognize, the one that said someone was getting far too close to pissing off a nasty dom.
Beth stopped. She frowned at her hands.
“Beth, do you love me?”
“Yes,” she snapped, lifting her head.
“Do you like living with me?”
Beth gave an exasperated snort. “Okay, you jerk. You don’t need to go through it all again, although you really should have finished with a ‘will you marry me’ question.”
He smiled slowly. “I didn’t want to take the chance you’d say no.”

Nolan to Beth

I wanted to share a long quote/paragraph but it's a page and a half long *sigh* so here's all you guys get. SPOILER:


Haley: "Listen to me, buddy! I am head over heels in love with you and if you think you're going to pull another snit and get out of marrying me then you're crazy!"



Jason: "You're marrying me this weekend and that's final!" he snarled.

-R.L. Mathewson, Playing for Keeps

His breaths came quicker as he imagined his little grasshopper doing this for anyone else. He couldn't deal with it. He knew he'd fucking kill any man that so much as touched her never mind this.

Fuck it.

She was his.

He didn't care if she didn't love him the way he loved her. It didn't matter. He'd more than make up for it. He'd spoil the hell out of her and keep her in orgasmic bliss so that she wouldn't realize that she was settling.

-R.L. Mathewson, Playing For Keeps

Jason and Haley

“Well, that exhausted me.” Dan nuzzled his pregnant sub. “Brought back all sorts of horrible memories of getting engaged.”
“Oh, it did not,” she said.
Gabi gasped as the round little sub poked her hard-faced dom in the ribs. Was she insane?
“Do you get the impression we have an overabundance of smart-ass subs?” Master Dan growled to Cullen. He grabbed Kari’s wrists and hooked her cuffs together over her protruding belly.
Cullen’s sub, Andrea, grinned. “Not me. As a past trainee, I’m the very epitome of a submissive, an example to the other subs in my attire and demeanor and obedience.”
That sounded like a quote, but if that had been in the trainee instructions, Gabi had sure missed it.
Cullen stared at his sub in disbelief. “For that absolute whopper of a lie, you may fetch me a beer—and just water for you.”
[..]
As she flounced away, Cullen grinned. “You know, I never get tired of watching that ass, especially when she’s stomping.”


-Cherise Sinclair, my favorite Club Shadowlands book: Make Me, Sir

“Okay, you’re older. Not much, really. And considering you love staying in shape and I refuse to run, we’ll probably get all old and crippled at the same time. If not, then I’ll learn to use a cane, and I’ll get to beat on your ass for a change.”

-Cherise Sinclair, Make Me, Sir

Jessica to Master Z/Zachary

“Tell me the truth. Why did you kiss me? You could have had Paris, Reyes, Gideon or any of the others. They would not have objected. They would have wanted you in return.”
First, grrr! They would have wanted you in return, she inwardly mocked. Unlike him, who would never want her. She wasn’t dog food, damn it. Second, why couldn’t he accept that she’d simply desired him and no other?
Maybe it was for the best that he thought her passion faked, she decided. Saved her pride, at least, since she meant nothing to him and he hadn’t wanted her. Jackass.

-Gena Showalter, Darkest Kiss

Lucien to Anya

“You’re hurting me,” she lied. He made the mistake of releasing her wrists. She punched him again, this time in the eye. The bone cracked from the impact, swelling—she laughed; turning black—she laughed harder. Healing—she pouted.

-Gena Showalter, Darkest Kiss

Anya to Lucien

Love all the quotes Goge. Specially the Cherise Sinclair ones. Masters of the shawdowlands is one of my favorite series.

Me too!! She's the only author I know (and want) who write BDSM so well. All others fail to compare to her. IMO

And then he’d tried to kill her.
The heat of her anger intensified, and the sharpness of her hurt cut deep. How dare he! She’d been nothing but kind to him.
Well, she thought, eyes narrowing, that was going to change. She was now going to kill him. No more desiring him. No more kissing him and imagining him inside her. Seething, she flashed to her apartment in Switzerland and quickly changed into a tee and black stretch pants that wouldn’t easily stain with Lucien’s blood, reminding her for years to come of what she’d had to do to him. Flashed to two other places, gathering weapons.
Once she was armored in knives, throwing stars and a Taser, she flashed back to his home in the Cyclades. She wasn’t just going to kill him, she was going to have fun electrocuting him before slicing him up like a Christmas ham.

Yes it's a series In Death series by J.D.Robb who's actually Nora Roberts... which I find hilarious because In Death can be gritty.

The main characters are Eve Dallas, a cop and Roarke an imported Irish man, richest man on earth, with criminal past. It's set in the future and is mainly crime stories, almost 40 to this date. And they're great!!!

The first book is ... and I totally recommend you try the audio book. Susan Erickson narrates them and it is beyond fabulous. Her portraying Roarke's Irish purr is miniorgasm worthy.
