Butterface (The Hartigans, #1) QUOTES

1 " He kissed her like a man who believed that if he did it right, she’d forget that anyone had ever called her awful names or made her feel like she wasn’t everything a man could want. "

― Avery Flynn , Butterface (The Hartigans, #1)

2 " I wish you saw the woman I see when I look at you. "

― Avery Flynn , Butterface (The Hartigans, #1)

3 " She did a little shimmy dance move, threw her arms in the air, and turned to face her brothers and Ford at the table with a smile that lit up her whole face.
Maybe there was some asshole out there who could look at her and not return her grin. Ford was a dickhead, but he couldn’t stop the end of his lips from curling upward. "

4 " You’re gonna break me, Ford Hartigan,” she said, her voice ragged and her back still to him.
“I won’t. Trust me.” And he meant it. "

5 " Don’t listen to them, Matches,” Hudson said. “You’re the perfect size. "

6 " Her last name hung over them like a lead weight held up by a fraying rope. Someday, it was going to come down and land on them, no matter how hard they both wanted to ignore it. She may not be doing anything illegal, but that didn’t mean she wasn’t tainted. "

7 " What’s wrong?” Not a damn thing. Everything. That he wasn’t touching her. The fact that she still had clothes on. “Ford?” His name on her lips snapped something in him. The Vacilli’s box hit the hardwood floor with a thump. His determined footsteps echoed in the foyer as he crossed over to her. She let out a soft mewl when he pressed his body against hers. He cupped her face in his hands and took her mouth like a man who had just discovered the meaning of life, because that’s what he’d just realized. Gina. She was his meaning. "

8 " More power to anyone who wants to go that route, but it’s not for me. I don’t want to get a makeover. I don’t want to change my face. I just want a man who sees me and doesn’t see the ugly girl. He sees me and he loves me, not in spite of my face but in part because of it. "

― Avery Flynn , Butterface (The Hartigans, #1)

9 " I love you two.” She put her arms around her girls. “You are so sweet to have come over.” “Are you kidding?” Lucy said. “After you told us what happened with that dick-doo-wah, I snagged a couple of shovels from the store in case we needed to help you bury a body.” And that brought tears to her eyes. Maybe she was kinda drunk. But still, only a true friend would help you dispose of a body. “You’re the best. "

10 " We both know I’m not the girl who ends up with a happily ever after with a guy like you, so I need to walk away now while I still can. "

― Avery Flynn , Butterface (The Hartigans, #1)

11 " she’d never really gotten why some women raved about arm porn. Now she did. "

― Avery Flynn , Butterface (The Hartigans, #1)

12 " To women everywhere who’ve had to deal with the BS of society’s expectations of what they should look like or do or want simply because they are women. You, my dear, are fabulous just the way you are.* "

― Avery Flynn , Butterface (The Hartigans, #1)

13 " If she thought he’d been intense before, it was nothing compared to now. “I’m not other guys.” She shook her head no in agreement, the ability to actually form words having left her. “I need you to say it.” He ground out the words. “Say my name.” “Ford.” It came out like a breathy plea, which it was, because she was about to combust here. “That’s right, and I’m gonna make you come so hard, Gina Luca, that you’re going to remember my name when you’re a hundred years old and can barely remember your own.” He dropped his hand back down to her legs and spread them wide, the move dragging the bottom of her dress up to the top of her thighs. “Now you gotta lift that sweet ass of yours up for me. "

17 " First grade teacher Emily Towson always does the right thing. But in her dreams, she does bad, bad things with the town’s baddest boy: Tanner O’Connor. But when he sells her grandmother a Harley, fantasy is about to meet a dose of reality. Tanner spent two hard years in prison, with only the thought of this “good girl”to keep him sane. Before either one thinks though, they’re naked and making memories on his tool bench. Now Tanner’s managed to knock- up the town’s “good girl”and she’s going to lose her job over some stupid “morality clause”if he doesn’t step up. "

18 " her in the face and remember what to say. Thinking of what to say wasn’t a problem with the oldest Hartigan, Frankie, because the towering "

― Avery Flynn , Butterface (The Hartigans, #1)

19 " Ford laughed. He couldn’t help it. Even when he was in a shitty enough mood to eat nails, Frankie’s good-natured lack of humility always cracked him up. The man really was a menace to the women of Waterbury. How in the hell he managed to stay friends with 99 percent of the women he dated was a mystery to Ford "
