1 " You teach people how to treat you. "

― Rosalind James , Just Good Friends (Escape to New Zealand, #2)

2 " Everything in Australia is trying to kill you, haven't you heard? Half of the ten deadliest snakes in the world live in Queensland. And then there are the poisonous spiders and the jellyfish. Not to mention the crocs and the great white sharks. Another point in favor of New Zealand. Very benign place, En Zed. "

― Rosalind James , Just Good Friends (Escape to New Zealand, #2)

3 " I used to watch football with my father sometimes. But I never knew much about it. I watched because he liked to, and I liked to be with him. "

― Rosalind James , Just This Once (Escape to New Zealand, #1)

4 " I’ve got you, I’ve got my dog, I’ve got my truck, and I’ve got my gun. Yeah, that’s everything important.” “Montana’s going to beg you to apply for residency if you keep talking like a country song, "

5 " I’m not bossy. I just have good ideas, "

― Rosalind James , Just for Fun (Escape to New Zealand, #4)

6 " That’s the dirty secret of life. Thighs taste better, pot roast is as tender as any fancy cut of steak, you can only use one bathroom at a time, the prettiest view is the one you get after you walk up a hill, and a Ford gets you to work as fast as a Porsche does. And the right man’s not the one who buys you diamonds, he’s the one who loves you the sweetest and the dirtiest and who holds you when you cry. The rest of it’s just advertising. "

― Rosalind James , Shame the Devil (Portland Devils #3)

7 " Middle-of-the-night ruminations were nothing but treachery, Night Ninjas that invaded your brain and stole your peace, whispering to you that they spoke the truth you hid from yourself during the day. "

― Rosalind James , Just Say Yes (Escape to New Zealand, #10)

8 " Lucky thing Kevin has mana. "

― Rosalind James , Just Say Yes (Escape to New Zealand, #10)

9 " In vino veritas. "

― Rosalind James , Just for Now (Escape to New Zealand, #3)

10 " Honesty was the strongest thing there was, because once you were brave enough to be honest, there wasn’t much anybody could say that could cut through what you’d already put out there. Your truth was your sword and your shield. "

― Rosalind James , Shame the Devil (Portland Devils #3)

11 " I think that the kind of man you want scares you, and the kind of man you feel safe with bores you. "

― Rosalind James , Fierce (Not Quite a Billionaire, #1; Escape to New Zealand, #8.5)

12 " If worrying were an Olympic sport, she thought ruefully, she’d have at least one gold medal, for sure. "

― Rosalind James , Just This Once (Escape to New Zealand, #1)

13 " athletic is that you can’t do a serious swim in a string bikini or a bandeau top. We know that our customer doesn’t necessarily do triathlons. But she thinks she might train for one soon. And she’s buying our products for her workouts, as you "

― Rosalind James , Just This Once (Escape to New Zealand, #1)

14 " Those ripples—maybe they were the true measure of what we’d offered the world. All the little ways we looked after each other, both the people we knew and loved and those we didn’t. The million times we touched somebody else, that we shone a little light into somebody else’s life. "

― Rosalind James , Found (Not Quite a Billionaire, #3)

15 " I’m not—I’m not talking about myself.” “Oh, darling,” her mother said, the sharp planes of her face softening. “We’re all talking about ourselves. Always, because the only way we see the world is through our own eyes. The way you’ve always seen Anthony in Will, and you’re so scared that he’s his dad all over again. That he’s weak at the core after all, and that he’ll disgrace you in the end, and desert you, too. This is all just one more way you’re afraid he’s done it. But he hasn’t, and he won’t, because he’s not his dad. He’s got you in him, too. He’s got the mum who stayed, and stuck. That’s why he’ll never do a runner on the people he loves, no matter how heavy the burden gets. He’ll take care of you until you’re in your grave, and he’ll take care of his brother and sisters as well. Because he’s strong to the core, and solid to the bone. Because he’s a good man. "

― Rosalind James , Just in Time (Escape to New Zealand, #8)

16 " People talk about love, about marriage, too, like they’re magic. There’s no magic. Just two people who like each other and decide they’re willing to get stuck in together. If you can make your way through the bad patches, it works, and you know each other better afterwards, make a better team. If you can’t, it doesn’t. No secret. No magic. "

― Rosalind James , Just Stop Me (Escape to New Zealand #9)

17 " Life’s a battle all the way, even if all you’re fighting is yourself. And it’s one you can win. "

― Rosalind James , Just Say (Hell) No (Escape to New Zealand #11)

18 " fingers together now in her distress. “I care about you so much. But I’m scared. I can’t be all those things you need. I can’t be more than this. I can’t trust someone else to take care of me. It would be stupid, don’t you see? It just isn’t safe. And I can’t do it. "

19 " beautiful storybook self out of here.”  TriStyle Woman had become her real home in these past seven years, she realized with gratitude as she "

20 " to move together, Hannah recognized Sam Cooke’s “You Send Me,” one of her favorites. You sure do, she thought to herself. She was still breathing a bit heavily from the exertion of the previous dances, but now she sighed, moved closer, and relaxed into Drew. It felt so good. She felt his heartbeat beneath her cheek and was as soothed by it, and by his warm body against hers, as a puppy snuggled into a basket with a hot water bottle. The image made her smile. She wouldn’t share that, she decided. As he held her and she melted into him, the solid breadth of his muscular back under her hands and his powerful thighs against hers, the warmth kindled into something hotter. She pressed herself more tightly against him and stroked her hand over his back just to enjoy the feeling of his muscles moving as he slowly turned her in time to the music.
