“There was a time when my mother warned me about Joe. Stay away from the Morelli boys, my mother would say. They can't be trusted. They're all sex fiends. And no Morelli man will ever amount to anything. A while back my mother had decided that Joe was the exception to the rule and that somehow, in spite of genetic disadvantage, he'd actually managed to grow up. He was financially and professionally stable. And he could be trusted. Okay, so he was still a sex fiend, but at least he was a monogamous sex fiend.”

“Are you sure you don't know where Jimmy is hiding?'
'Maybe I'll remember if you show me your tits.'

'No.'
'What if I was in the hospital with a heart attack?'
'No.'
'Boy, you're tough. Most women would go for the heart attack.”
― Janet Evanovich, Top Secret Twenty-One
