1 " Love should be unpredictable. I want it to hit me and like, knock me on my ass. And I don’t want it to take me years to realize that’s what I was feeling. I think two to three months is plenty of time, if not sooner. "
― J. Daniels , When I Fall (Alabama Summer, #3)
2 " Being a lover of books has its perks. There’s always a story waiting to be read. A hero to fall in love with. A heroine to adore. Sometimes I think I should change genres and actually give the potential men in my life a chance. My expectations of love are dangerously unrealistic. "
3 " I mean, my idea of exciting is getting an Amazon gift card and buying a whole bunch of books. "
4 " I’m still clinging to him like we’re on the Titanic and that bitch is sinking fast, and he’s holding onto me like he wants on that door that we all know would’ve fit more than one person. "
5 " He’s all over me, kissing like a man who isn’t practiced with this. It’s wild and messy, and so unbelievably perfect. He can’t decide whether he wants to suck on my tongue or bite it. His sounds are unreal, low and throaty, vibrating against my lips. I’m practically in his lap, swallowing him alive. I don’t care how inappropriate I look right now. I don’t care if this building goes up in flames. I’m going to continue kissing . . . "
6 " I’m a smart guy when I’m thinking with my dick, but when I allow the weakest part of me to get involved, I’m the dumbest motherfucker on the planet. "
7 " Are you reading porn?” The low voice in my ear has me pulling my Kindle so hard against my chest, I fear I may crack the screen. I drop my chin, inspecting the front for any signs of damage while the man behind me breathes an amused laugh. No cracks. Oh, thank God. I settle my nerves before replying blindly, “I don’t think you can read porn. You watch porn.” I "
8 " I never know how to acknowledge babies. He’s obviously here, and staring at me with those big brown eyes that resemble Mia’s, waiting for me to give him something. So I settle on a nod, an informal what’s up. Drool falls down his chin and onto his shirt. He’s not amused. I should’ve went bigger. "
9 " Being teased in school for wearing torn concert tees and ratty flannels didn’t stop me. I didn’t care what people had to say. I was me. I have always been me. I’ll never change for anyone, and if someone doesn’t like it they were never meant for me to know anyway. Life’s too short to dress boring and predictable. I don’t want to wear things that make me uncomfortable in my own skin. "
10 " He threw up on your face?” I turn to Chase, who’s hiding his guilt well. “What the hell, dude?” “He’s a baby, asshole,” Ben replies, sounding annoyed. “They throw up. It’s not like he was aiming for Mia.” “Does he like give you a warning or something?” I ask. A valid question on my part. I hold that kid a good bit. Ben stares at me for long seconds of silence. “Yeah. He usually tells you what’s about to happen with his extensive vocabulary.” Mia "
11 " Hope is a funny thing. Even when you think you have none, it refuses to lie down quietly. "
12 " Luckily, I don’t get dick very often. "
13 " Oh man. This guy wearing nothing but a bow would be exactly what I’d ask Santa for. I "
14 " It is a love story. Jodi’s crazy about this guy, Ryan, and he’s slowly falling for her. Just because there’s a bunch of filthy sex in it, doesn’t make it any less sweet. "
15 " If it means something to you, it means something to me.” I "
16 " Now, this is a fucking kiss. He’s all over me, kissing like a man who isn’t practiced with this. It’s wild and messy, and so unbelievably perfect. "
17 " She’s the skank who made Reed the glorious man-whore we know and love today.” Luke "
18 " He threw up on your face?” I turn to Chase, who’s hiding his guilt well. “What the hell, dude?” “He’s a baby, asshole,” Ben replies, sounding annoyed. “They throw up. It’s not like he was aiming for Mia. "
