Lauren Landish QUOTES

1 " Man is least himself when he talks in his own person. Give him a mask, and he will tell you the truth. "

― Lauren Landish , Stepbrother Jealousy 3 (The Jealous Games)

2 " What would've happened if Dad had told Abi or me to 'settle down with a good boy'?"

I scoff. "Well, first off, Abi would've told him to fuck off, and you would've probably said you're too young. And then I would've killed him."

She laughs. "But when he told you to, you marched right out there and got yourself a bride. Fucking overachiever. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Wedding

3 " I’m not freaking out. I’m turned on. I’m thinking about sniffing your bed pillows like a weirdo, contemplating if it’d be better for you to bend me over the island or the couch, and my ovaries are basically exploding—pew, pew, pew—like fireworks because you’re so good with Chunky that I can imagine you as the one of those dads who’d play tea party with your daughter. And all of that is making me hot and nervous . . . and . . . and . . . I should stop talking now. "

― Lauren Landish , Drop Dead Gorgeous

4 " Glitter is the herpes of crafting materials. Once you've got it, there's no un-getting it. My apartment's done for. It'll be perpetually covered in gold glitter for the rest of the time I live here no matter how many time I vacuum. I should move out now and forfeit my security deposit. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon

5 " I’m a bit of a pessimist, someone who doesn’t expect the zombie apocalypse, but at the same time, I’ve got a bugout bag ready in my SUV . . . just in case. "

― Lauren Landish , The Blind Date

6 " But it's my dad who truly saves me.

He doesn't even put his fork down, make a face, break a sweat, or throw things ... all things I've done in the last several seconds since Emily walked up and nuclear bombed my life.

But Dad is the cloth we're all cut from and has perfected his skills around boardroom tables we can only dream of one day sitting at, so he coldly demands, "Are you quite finished now, young lady? I was rather enjoying a quiet dinner of celebration with my family before you came up and started spewing your venom all over my chicken marsala. It's obvious you are no friend of Abi's, and therefore, no friend of mine." He makes a shooing motion with his fork, a bit of sauce slinging on Emily's white dress too. "Leave us alone so we can continue to celebrate her good fortune as an artist and as a new bride. And you can go back to enjoying a night away from your new husband too." Dad glances at the table of women who are sitting straight and slack-jawed now. "I'm sure your husband is particularly enjoying the evening away from you."

Whoa! Dad is ... stone-cold brutal. I'm really glad he's on my team. "

7 " If you so much as hurt one hair on her head or leave one tiny crack in her heart, I will destroy you. The only thing you're allowed to do is pound her uterus into her ribs if she asks you to."

I blink. "Uh ... is that an American euphemism I don't know? It sounds painful. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon

8 " Go to this meeting and be THE Abigail Andrews. Later, you will be mine. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon

9 " But we both know that whatever comes our way, we'll greet it with a smile and a barely half-formed plan. It's who we are, still spontaneous and slightly crazy but together, no matter what. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon

10 " When this all goes to shit and my best friend rightfully punches me the fuck out, takes my company, and kicks me out of his life, I'm going to remember this moment right here. The moment it all seems worth it."

Her lips start to lift, and I tell myself that I'm doing the right thing. The right thing for me, for once in my damn life.

"With you standing in front of me, back straight, fire in your eyes, hair a mess from my hands, and that ring on your finger. When that happens, help me remember, okay?"

Courtney nods, licking her lips and moving into my space. She presses me into the counter with her body, bare tits pressed to my chest and hope in her eyes.

Hope for me. For us.

And it's beautiful and sweet and all I ever wanted.

"It'll be okay, Kaede. It'll be finer than fine, I promise."

Sure, it will. I nod, even though I don't believe her. I'm only risking ... everything. Court might lose some face, and yeah, Ross will be mad at her. But she's his sister. He'll forgive her.

But he legit might kill me.

I kiss her anyway, signing my own death certificate. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Engagement

11 " Let's get ready for dinner. We've got a fake engagement to sell."

I groan, knowing she's right, but for the first time, work and success aren't my priority. Courtney is.

I am so fucked.

I'm not, my cock chimes in with a whine.

Later, I promise. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Engagement

12 " As i take my place at the microphone, a hot flash of nerves spikes, washing away my previous desire in an instant. But I speak from the heart, wishing my sister a lifetime of happiness and threatening her new husband with death and dismemberment if he so much as says one mean word to her. He smiles like I'm kidding, and I slash a line across my throat with my thumb to show that I'm dead serious. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon

13 " I can't believe you told Nana that you made this cake," Violet admonishes him.

He shrugs, not caring in the least. "Well, I made the money that I bought it with, so that's almost the same thing. And it's good. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Engagement

14 " I feel like a goddess with my god claiming me for all to see. It might be pretend, it might be fantasy, but fuck, it's hot. "

― Lauren Landish , My Big Fat Fake Honeymoon

15 " She was powerful not because she wasn’t scared but because she went on so strongly despite the fear. "

― Lauren Landish , The Blind Date

16 " This just isn’t the sort of restaurant where five-foot-two-inch women in work clothes go shaking their ass while chanting something akin to a high school cheer. But right now, I give exactly zero fucks. "

― Lauren Landish , Dirty Talk (Get Dirty, #1)

17 " We spend all our lives growing up with this image of what life is supposed to be. We draw it in our minds from tv shows, books, our parents, just the whole world around us. But the reality isn’t always like that. We don’t get to order it up like a burger made our way. So what about just saying fuck it and taking life as it comes to us? "

― Lauren Landish , Dirty Secrets (Get Dirty #4)

18 " that I played a part in building. We needed a safe way for the Submissives and the Dominants to learn. This club isn’t a free-for-all. Although each Dominant has their own way of doing things, their own preferences and kinks, and we encourage the variety. Dressed in leathers, the trainers are lined up and waiting for the women to choose instruments from the extensive collection. Their sole purpose is to provide a means for the women to explore their limits. One woman, I believe her name is Lisa, is concerned about her positioning. Although she’s dressed in a simple cream chiffon romper, she’s on the waxed floor of the stage, practicing with a trainer offering advice. She’s not very "

― Lauren Landish , Sold (Highest Bidder, #2)

19 " Don’t ask for it, go out and earn it. Do that, and you’ll be rewarded. "

― Lauren Landish , Beauty and the Billionaire (Dirty Fairy Tales #1)

20 " I am not Thomas Goldstone, billionaire entrepreneur. My most important title is . . . hers. And she is not Mia Karakova. She is simply . . . mine. "
