1 " Let me give you one piece of advice. Do not get between a woman and her cause. "
― Jenny Holiday , The Miss Mirren Mission (Regency Reformers, #1)
2 " It was so unlikely that she should be there, standing on the far side of the ballroom, and yet there she was. Unlikely Lucy, gleaming, a jade flame burning bright in a sea of mere diamonds. Polished and disheveled at the same time, her fitted, elegant gown contrasted with hair that looked as if it had been precariously arranged and might escape its pins at any moment. "
3 " Being a pioneering reformer is all fine and good, but it does leave one terribly in want of agood party! "
4 " The Earl of Blackstone didn’t seem particularly mysterious to Emily. In fact, as he stood there silently—except for that sneering laugh he’d tried to cover up—she could think of several other adjectives to add to the list next time Sarah was searching for one: rude, self-important, boorish. And, if one could judge by the slightly slack-jawed way he stared at her, perhaps even “simple. "
5 " The earl narrowed his eyes as he hopped off his bay gelding and surveyed the deep green expanse of lawn surrounding the ancestral home. The graceful house, built atop and around an ancient abbey, wore its centuries of accretion with aplomb, as if it had always perched atop thisgentle slope. In the slanting late afternoon sun, the fading red-brick walls glowed. “My God, I hate the country,” he said. "
6 " He lifted her hand to his mouth and kissed the back of it.Because why not? A cabdriver from the Bronx didn't have that many opportunities to spend the evening with a princess, and when he did - especially if she was a sad princess - he should probably seize the chance to kiss her hand. "

7 " He held out his arm and she took it. "We're off to see the wizard. "
8 " He did not want to escape. So he surrendered to this madness, this beautiful madness. This wanting. Let himself melt, as heat shot through his body despite the cold. It had been so long since he'd kissed anyone, and having that heart-shaped mouth under his was so improbable and, frankly, it was making him crazy. So was the no-holds-barred enthusiasm with which she was returning his kiss. "
9 " Oh my god, you are from a fake Hallmark country," Leo deadpanned. "
10 " Show me your room."H reversed the phone and made for the bathroom. "Let me show you the soap I ate earlier. "
11 " His world shrank so those lips were the world. That rosebud. That heart. He swooped in, but stopped just short of her mouth, so the steam from his breath joined with hers. Waited. Because although he had come, rather rapidly, to his "fuck it" revelation, that didn't mean she had.He hoped she had. Please let her have.There were only a few millimeters between them.She closed the gap. It was different this time. This was premeditated, and they were in her secret place in the middle of the goddamn Alps. "
12 " I think," he drawled. "This Hallmark movie is about to get a lot more interesting. "
13 " Christmas is big business in Eldovia. We have an annual Cocoa Fest on Christmas Eve day. Restaurants and pubs participate, and so does the palace. We make big cauldrons of different kinds of cocoa and serve them outside on the grounds.”“Are you kidding me?” Gabby demanded.Marie laughed. “I am entirely in earnest. And there’s a Cocoa Ball in the evening—though that’s not for children.” She wasn’t sure why she added that qualifier. It wasn’t as if Gabby, whose eyes had grown comically wide, would be around to be told she couldn’t attend the ball.“Oh my god, you are from a fake Hallmark country,” Leo deadpanned. "
14 " You don't let go of love without a fight." He smiled at her. "The part where you talk to him. The part where you try to keep him. The part where you let him decide he doesn't want you instead of making that decision for him. "
15 " Girls need love, not braids. "
16 " You are going to regret that, Your Magical Regalness.""I doubt that!" she called back. "
17 " He was in trouble.He knew it. Which was why he didn't make a move, not exactly. It wasn't like he thought I'm going to kiss her now. He would never have done that. He didn't think she would have either. But he saw the moment she figured it out, what was going to happen if neither of them stopped it.Neither of them did. "
18 " Oooff."Was that?Leo whirled - and was promptly hit in the face by a second snowball. Holy shit. Was the princess of Eldovia really throwing snowballs at him? "
19 " Happiness - whether you're experiencing it or creating it for others - is important. And happiness and comfort, it turns out, are not the same things. "
20 " Sometimes you have to open your eyes and jump "
