"Colum: Can you find someone attractive and terrifying at the same time?
Franco: ...You've met my wife, right?"

Each chapter starts with part of an ongoing text chain between Franco and Colum ...

"Reading and knitting trumped trying to keep a man happy any day"

"I know a lady who says cats are better than children. They only expect upi to worship them like gods ..." - Queenie

"Relationships are a lot like algebra," Aroha says. "You look at your X and wonder Y."

"I feel strongly that people should be able to read any book they want."

"Don't even pretend you don't know that your scrawny ass grew up to be hot as hell."

"Don't even pretend you don't know that your scrawny ass grew up to be hot as hell."

"Remember ti treasure what you have. It's rare to find love, rarer still to keep that love."

"All right, you two, it's time for a come to Jesus meetins."

"Oscar would have stormed already stormed out of the room or house while using "f***" as the subject, verb, and object of a sentence."

Eric - "The Americans are nuts. Go on."
Walt - "None taken, we're a dumpster fire a lot of the time."

"he felt a bit like he used to when he'd been called to the principal's office back in school - something that occurred quite frequently, given Langston's love of blowing things up in chemistry class and Oscar's propensity for using four-letter words at all of the wrong times Walt's presence usually fell under the all-for-one rule of being a triplet"

"Maybe you were scared of what I would, or wouldn't, do, if you did move."
"Isn't that submission?"
"It is, but you only submitted because you wanted too."

Cain - "Any man, any Dom, who would use you, use any woman, as a tool to try and prove the size of their own dick should have that dick removes."

Wow, Lila, powerful words!!!

"No," she said, in answer to his question. "I don't, because intellectually I know that a man who thinks less of a woman because she has a kink or two that involve being submissive isn't a Dom, he's a misogynist."

Finally Lila!!! A lead female who looks like us!!! Meaning not a size 4 or 6. So far I am liking Cain and Victoria's story

Opinions are like cherry pits - easy to swallow, but damn hard to digest. - Jade

"If you quote Soider-Man one more time --" Sebastian snapo

The Hayden boys had an unnatural love of smashing things.

"Pinch him," Selene whispered to Luca. "He's being a dick."
"Ouch, fuck," Oscar yelped. "Also, I heard that." He sat forward slightly to glare at her.
"You are here, Mr. Hayden..."
"Apparently as comic relief," Sebastian muttered.

"For the first time in my life, I will not be powerless."

Grand Master - "The Hayden brothers cannot be coerced, only bribed or outmaneuvered."

Can't you imagine the look she is wearing while saying this?

Now, as stupid as it was, he wanted a future....

He wanted a future.
A real one.
Because now he had something worth living for.

"Ohh, plot twist." Franco's accented voice sounded distant , but the words were audible.

Words that shouldn't surprise anyone who has read anything written by Mari Carr or Lila DuBois. After all, plot twists are their speciality.

Oscar - "I prefer my life the way it is. Falling in love means giving someone control over you, and I'm not doing that again." Sounds like a man about to fall in love soon to me.

Oscar - "Dangerous and beautiful? Suits you."
Selene - "Flattery will get you everywhere."

"On the surface, he was off-putting because of the anger, but she'd gotten to peek under the surface, to see the core of the man, and he was caring and brilliant."
