“Bottom line? As much as you
wanted someone to change and believed they could, they were in control of their life. Not you. And you could throw yourself against the wall of their choices until you were black-and-blue and dizzy as hell, but unless they decided to take a different road, the outcome wasn’t going to be what you wanted.”
― J.R. Ward, Crave

“Some bridges you crossed on your own, no matter who drove you to the edge”
― J.R. Ward, Dark Lover

“Some things are destined to be -- it just takes us a couple of tries
to get there.”
― J.R. Ward, Lover Mine
