1 " Yes. I appreciate the helpful and long spreadsheet with all the many places you can't go. "
― Shelly Laurenston, , The Mane Event (Pride, #1)
2 " If he didn't have Ronnie already in his arms he'd have assumed she'd just opened the door...and aged a few years. Wow, he thought in surprise, she's going to be hot when we hit fifty. "
3 " Damn tricky cats! "
4 " I'd rather have rabies than be in love.""Why?""Because at least you can get over rabies with some shots. "

5 " You admit nothing. Deny everything. Demand proof. Did you learn nothing in Boot Camp?" (Mace to Smitty) "
6 " She pulled her lips away again. "Wait!"He stopped and stared at her."I'm relatively positive we're not supposed to be doing this.""Who says?""The laws of nature and God.""Laws are made to be broken and God just wants us to be happy." Fucking this woman would make him so damn happy. "Come on. Let's go break some laws. "
7 " Ronnie snarled and Brendon roared back.Her eyes narrowed. "You roared at me?""And I'll do it again if you can't keep your paws off my Oreos. "
8 " So, hoss. Have you actually told her you’re in love with her?” “She won’t let me. When I tried, she threw me down a flight of stairs.” “And you’re not concerned about that?” “There weren’t that many steps. "
9 " This conversation" - Dez rapped her knuckles against the Formica table- "is over.""Be careful, Dez," Jimmy stated earnestly."And don't sleep with him the first night," Vinny warned. "We know what a slut you can be."Dez turned to Sal. "Do you have anything to add to this bullshit?""Yeah." Sal looked down from the ceiling he'd been staring at. "Based on the structure of this building, if we removed that pillar back there, we could take out this whole block."Dez sighed. "
10 " Because isn’t that what the holidays are all about— letting your family make you wish you were an orphan? "
11 " If you’re worried arresting my sister will come between us — really, that’s not a problem. I’m pretty sure it will bind us tighter together. Besides, we made plans…involving Missy’s desk.”“You know I was only torturing your sister.”“So you were just using me?” He actually sounded wounded. “Like a whore?”“Mace…” She stopped and rubbed her eyes. Of all the places he could be doing this, her precinct should not be one of them.“You’re doing it again.”“Doing what?”“Trying to make me crazy.”The look he gave her was pure predatory male. “I like you crazy. "
12 " That’s a shitty thing to do. It’s almost catlike in its evilness.” “See, your problem is you underestimate dogs. There’s a reason many of us are let up on the couch, while they keep y’all in a zoo. "
13 " You do know I’m the one person who can shoot you and make it look like justifiable homicide? "
14 " Uh…tell me, Mace. Have you actually let her in on the fact she’s yours now?” “No. But I will. She’ll simply have to deal with it.” Smitty sighed. “So says the King of the Jungle. "
15 " Jealousy over some big, dumb bear flew out the window as he stared at Ronnie. “You…you were banned from Norway? The country? "
16 " Didn’t she know? “Yes” to dinner today. “Yes” to marriage tomorrow. Dammit, he had a schedule to keep. A schedule that involved getting her sweet ass into bed as fast as humanly possible. "
17 " Mace growled and wondered how much prison time a man would do for tossing his sister into the East River. "
18 " Oh, look. The idiot of the jungle awakens. "
19 " Mace-Let's get something straight right now woman...we are a couple.Dez-I never agreed to that!Mace- Don't care! "
20 " He’d hate to start killing people at this stage in the game. Especially some poor schmuck who happened to marry the wrong woman. "
