1 " A man without a sweet tooth is not to be trusted. "
― Kristen Painter , The Vampire's Mail Order Bride (Nocturne Falls, #1)
2 " Mmm. "
3 " You’ve got me confused with one of those women who needs a ring on her finger to feel complete. I don’t put those kinds of expectations on men. And I’d say I’m sorry things didn’t work out between you and Hugh, but based on your current amount of crazy, I’d say he dodged a bullet. "
4 " she felt as out of place as a meatball in a box of truffles. "
5 " You’re my last thought of the day and my first thought when I awake. "
6 " Welcome to Nocturne Falls – where every day is Halloween. "
7 " She’s a lovely young woman from upstate New York, but you should be very thankful for those romance-novel-reading, tween-movie-watching women. They’ve had a big hand in making our town a success.” “And Julian’s love life, once he learned to spray himself with glitter. "
8 " Little Tony scratched his neck. “Don’t forget he besmirched my name, Pop.” Huh, how about that? Little Tony not only knew a big word, but had used it correctly. "
9 " She swallowed. “It’s totally wrong of me to be turned on by the thought of murder, but that’s kind of hot. "
10 " A small cow walked toward him and meowed. “What on earth is—Stanhill mentioned you brought your cat. He failed to mention the creature is the size of an SUV. "
11 " A vampire in a romance novel was something very different than one standing in front of you. "
12 " Money and physical attributes I can take or leave. After all, they're both attributes that can come and go depending on the circumstances. But I will not abide a cheating man. "
13 " men are simple creatures. They like to be complimented. To feel powerful. And, especially important, to feel useful. "
14 " The crazy cat lady in love with the vampire. "
15 " Well what?” “Go fix it, you dimwitted night crawler. "
16 " Twilight, huh? Maybe Hugh Ellingham was a fan of the books. "
17 " The only male in Delaney’s bed when she woke up was Captain. He stared at her from the other pillow, judging her in the silent way of cats. "
18 " The name on her shop certainly wasn’t going to be Mrs. Betts, because Russell was a jerk. Definitely not superhero material. Hell, he wasn’t even qualified to be a sidekick. She should have known. A man without a sweet tooth was not to be trusted. She snorted softly. He’d be so sorry he’d cheated on her when she ruled the confectionary world. Right now, however, she was a server and part-time pastry chef at Rastinelli’s Trattoria. Actually, she’d filled in for the pastry chef only once, but it was a start. "
19 " Mr. Rastinelli had given them the stink eye. He always treated his customers like gold, but on Thursdays he hosted a private, after-hours poker game in the restaurant’s private dining room. Another fifteen minutes and the Sandersons would have had to buy into the game or leave their tiramisu behind. (The tiramisu was good, but nothing like the tiramisu she made. It’s how she’d won Russell over, despite his lack of a sweet tooth. In retrospect, it had been a complete waste of perfectly good mascarpone.) "
20 " The word Eternamate was painted in neat script on the door. Whatever that meant. She grabbed the handle and pulled, praying someone was working late. Thankfully, it opened. "
