Quoting on Monday - His Darkest Hunger


His Darkest Hunger (Jaguar Warriors, #1)
They'd been a family once.

Until a slip of ass had decided it would be a great idea to betray them. --Jaxon Castille

There was going to be hell to pay,and she didn't care whose ass needed kicking, she was going to oblige with gusto. That Jaxon thought he could screw her and then proceed to really fuck her over was unbelievable. --Libby
So close to finishing this and it is yummy!!

This may or may not be the last Quoting on Monday. I enjoy the post, but it is a lot of work and it doesn't get too many responses. So next week it will be a surprise, you may see a Books and Babbles post in it's place.

Over at ATUF there is a fantastic giveaway you need to check out!! It's for Death Most Definite by Trent Jamieson. Click here.

Hope you all had a great Monday!!

The Devil's Due (Morgan Kingsley, #3)

Why ask questions when you already know the answers? But in case you need me to verbalize it-it's because I have to take a stand somewhere, sometime. This is where I'm drawing the line in the sand. -Morgan Kingsley
I feel guilty, I forgot to write some of the other good quotes I found down. I couldn't find them flipping through the book. Promise, I'll keep track of them from here, this book has some great one liners.

On another note this is the 3rd book in the series and it's really setting up and moving up nicely with the characters. My hats off to Black.

First off I have to give a big happy-thank-you hug to Savannah over at Books With Bite. Feel free to check out her awesome blog!!

Now I have to pass this fabulous award along.  There are some blogs that I follow that always have fresh new stuff posted almost daily, such hard work! I know there are a ton others, but they've already been hit.

I love it when you read one fun book after another!!!

Black Dust Mambo (Hoodoo, #1)
Men. Great for knocking boots together. Worthless in a pinch. -Belladonna
Deadly to the Male of the Species - Chapter heading
"Someone has just tried to kill Mr. Bruler."
Kallie snorted and waved a dismissive hand at her. "Happens all the time. Don't worry about it. Man has more lives than a dozen cats."
Felicity blinked. "My, my, my. Not the response I expected."
Secrets of a Summer Night (Wallflowers, #1)
"The earl shook his head, exhibiting a degree of frosty offense that could only be achieved by an aristocrat whose wishes had just been gainsaid. “I’ve never heard of a man being so eager to confess to the parent of a girl he’s just ruined,” he said sourly." -Lord Westcliff
"You're taking this wife-of-a-commoner business fairly well, all things considered."

"It's not so bad, really," Annabelle mused. She ran a light, flirtatious hand along the front of his body, and gave him a teasing glance. "I can over look quite a lot, in return for this . . . impressive . . . well-endowed . . ."

"Bank account?"

Annabelle smiled and slipped her finger's into the waist of his trouser. "Not the bank account," she whispered, just before his mouth closed over hers. -between Annabelle and Simon Hunt

I have to admit that I am quite taken with Regency Romance, especially Lisa Klepays work!! My review for Black Dust Mambo will hopefully be up tomorrow.

Hope you all had a great Monday!

Quoting on Monday

As promised I am back to Quoting on Monday. Since it's been so long since I've done one of these it's time to play catch up.

The Foretelling


The weak are cruel. The strong have no need to be.— Alice Hoffman (The Foretelling)
In the heart of a warrior queen there can be no confusion. She must at all times know who she is and what is expected of her. She is the fearless, the brave, the murderous if need be.  — Alice Hoffman (The Foretelling)
Night's Cold Kiss
. . . glancing down at her overexposed cleavage for the hundreth time to make sure the small microphone hadn't popped into view, or anything else for that matter. She looked up and caught Christian staring in the same direction.

"Hey!" She clicked her fingers in front of her face. "I'm up here."

Christian's smoldering eyes dragged up to her face and a slow smile tilted his mouth. "I can't help it, they're just so . . . there." Again his gaze dropped to her chest.— Tracey O'hara (Night's Cold Kiss)
Bone Crossed (Mercedes Thompson, #4)
"There you are, Little Wolf. Still naturally talented at causing trouble, I see." — Samual (Patricia Briggs)
Tim was dead. And he'd always been a loser. I'd be damned if I was going to be the victim of a loser— or anyone else. — Mercy (Patricia Briggs)
"I wouldn't dream of it. I've heard stories about what happens to people who laught at you. I like my coffee without salt, please." — Adam (Patricia Briggs)

So far Night's Cold kiss is pretty kick a$$ awesome!

"She has quite the effect on the male sex,"Viktor said with a gleam in his eye. "Even I feel like rolling over for a tummy rub." -Tracey O'hara

There's so many great one liners in here, I don't know which ones to share!!

Spider's Bite (Elemental Assassin, #1)
Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep

"Luck, that capricious bitch, had really fucked me over today."  -Gin

"Ding-dong," I said. "The bitch is dead." -Gin

Kiss of Midnight (Midnight Breed,  #1)
Kiss of Midnight by Lara Adrian

"Jesus," Dante interjected when the heavy quiet in the vechile seemed endless. "All this touchy feely is making me itchy to kill something. How about we quit jerking each other off and go blow the roof off this mutha?" 
-Dante

As always hope you enjoyed the quotes!

Quoting on Monday

Welcome back to another beautiful work week, where I'm hoping to get some much needed vacation time!

So up first is a quote from Spider's Bite by Jennifer Estep, I love this book Assassins just got cooler.


"Death was a release, in so many ways. An end to suffering. An end to something else. What that something else was, I didn't know. Maybe heaven. Maybe hell. Maybe nothing at all. But I doubted it could be any worse than some of the things I'd seen and done in my lifetime.


Or the ones I was going to have to do to make sure Finn and I survived the next few days." -Gin (Spider)

There's just a taste of the awesomeness in this book.

Quoting on Monday

Welcome to a new work week. For me I had a sick week last week, so it's like returning from vacation, except for the sick part. (Although some vacations can make you sick too.) So to start things off here's a quote!

 "It's just not my kind of place. Maybe it's because I watched too many cheesy movies, but I always thought high school would be the time when I'd make a zillion friends and some out-of-my-league girl would spend three years ignoring me and then realize that I was the one she had loved all along. I guess you could say I'm still waiting."


 "For the girl to come to her senses?"


"More like the opening credits." -Conversation between Claire and Ian from Dream Girl by Lauren Mechling

 It just tickles me, don't we all expect some kind of cinematic moment when we're in high school? A team of TMNT was always supposed to rescue me from a dull life, oh well.

Richelle Mead is just too good, I'd probably end up quoting her whole book so I've decided to share just the first line of her Succubus Heat book.

"Sleeping with my therapist was a bad idea.

I new it too, but I really couldn't help it."  - Georgina Kinciad

I practically snorted half my coffee up my nose after that line. And it only gets better, by this I mean ridiculously funny. Mead, Mead, I wonder how I ever put of reading this book!

Quoting on Monday

This week I really didn't find any quotes in my current read to share. So I decided to share some of my favorite quotes from the fabulous Richelle Mead. (I confess I may be a little too obsessed with her books.)

"Only a true best friend can protect you from your immortal enemies."
— Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy)

"The only thing better than imagining Dimitri carrying me in his arms was imagining him shirtless while carrying me in his arms."
— Richelle Mead (Vampire Academy)

"Sometimes you wake up from a dream. Sometimes you wake up in a dream. And sometimes, every once in a while, you wake up in someone else's dream. "
— Richelle Mead (Succubus Blues)

"'Well, that depends, I suppose. I heard someone once say that men dance the same way they have sex. So, if you want everyone here to think you're the kind of guy who just sits around and—'
He stood up. 'Let's dance.' "
— Richelle Mead (Succubus Blues)

"Vampires. Honestly, they're like children sometimes. "
— Richelle Mead (Succubus Blues)

"Eugenie: "I tentatively attempted to make contact with the muscles in my body. They told me to leave them the fuck alone.""
— Richelle Mead (Storm Born)

"Kiyo: "The only way to lose a kingdom is if your power drops or..well, if you're killed."
Eugenie: "I'm sure Volusian would love to help with that."
My minion walked near me, needing no horse to move swiftly. Upon hearing his name, he said, "I would perform the deed with great relish and much suffering on your part, mistress."
"You can't put a price on that kind of loyalty, " I told Kiyo."
— Richelle Mead (Thorn Queen)

I really cut down on all the quotes I had picked out. I just love Richelle Mead! Any who, hope you enjoyed the quotes!

All right, first up is Gideon by Jacquelyn Frank. This quote just tickles me because Gideon was such an emotionless character in Jacob.

"Gideon, you are nothing but an ancient pervert," she teased him.
"And this is an issue because . . . ?" -Gideon and Legna

Now for Wit'ch Fire by James Clemens. Not really sure what I expected out of this book, but so far I like it. (To the quote, aren't all authors some form of liars? ^_-)

First of all, the author is a liar. - foreword to Wit'ch Fire

Sorry there is so little. I will also be catching up up on my reviews, I'm so behind from being sick. Hope all of your Mondays were awesome!

Quoting on Monday, on Tuesday

Well I'm recovered and so I'll give this weeks goodies. All the quotes are from Shiver by Maggie Stiefvater

I thought she was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen, a tiny, bloody angel in the snow, and they where going to destroy her. -Sam


What I wanted to do was remind her of how she'd fallen in love with me as a wolf. Without words. Seeing beyond the obvious meaning of my wolf skin to what was inside. To whatever it was that made me Sam, always. -Sam

I was losing sight of the wolf ahead of me; the one inside me seemed closer all of a sudden. -Sam

(Grace states) “Well, it was love at first sight.”


The girl sighed. “That is just so romantic. Do me a favor, and don't you two ever change. The world needs more love at first sight.” - Girl at the candy store

Clearly I'm really getting into the character Sam. For some reason I just can't click with Grace. The girl in the candy store is right, we need more love at first sight.

Undead and Unwed by Mary Janice Davidson


Just one quote this week, Queen Betsy has me giggling!

In the books, the vampire villian is always superurbane, gorgeous guy (or stunningly beautiful woman), but old Nostro looked like a mean-spirited monk, the kind who tortured mice when the other monks were praying. - Betsy (Elizabeth) Taylor

These quotes are from Three Days to Dead by Kelly Meding. This book is turning out to be too cool!!! The first quote is the very first sentence in the book, greatest first sentence.

I don't recall the first time I died, but I do remember the second time I was born. - Evy

"What's changed?"

Everything. Me, him, the world. We weren't the same people we'd been, even five minutes ago. As my memories returned, I would continue to evolve. Into someone who battled against foreign desire and fought for duty above self. One who would be dead again in fifty—something hours. One who would leave him again. - Evy

As always, hope you enjoyed!

I just realized I botched my Quoting on Monday logo. So I'm working on that!


Firespell by Chloe Neill

She looked around, probably to see whether she was alone (we're all wrong sometimes), then slipped the ribboned key from her neck and slid the key into the lock. -Lily Parker

I reminded myself that there was a greater purpose here—spying on the girl who'd adopted me as a best friend.



Okay, put that way, it didn't sound so noble. -Lily Parder
 
They say there are moments in your life when time slows down, when you can see your fate rushing towards you. This was one of those times. -Lily

I am loving Firespell! I'm not sure what I was expecting, but it's great! Enjoy the quotes.

I don't have any quotes from Aurian. The whole book is just too quotable, I'm in love all over again.

So here are some funny quotes from A Hunger Like No Other by Kresley Cole!

Couples strolling hand in hand along the gravel walk seemed to mock her loneliness. Was it jus her,or did the lovers look more adoringly at each other in this city? Especially in the springtime. Die you bastards.

She sighed. It wasn't their fault that they were bastards who should die. -Emmaline Troy 

She has an arse men should write sonnets to . . .    -Lachlain MacReive


All right those are some fun quotes! Hope you enjoyed.

Aurian by Maggie Furey, is too quotable. Everything I read I'm constantly thinking, "Oh, that's too good." So I've restricted what I'm writing down. Sadly that means I only have one quote. It's a good one though, and my first serious one.

"But how would you feel if you were in my place? You don't know what it's like to have nothing - no freedom, no future, no hope! To always force yourself to be respectful, to watch each word lest you're punished for speaking out of turn, to always be at someone's beck and call. You and the Lady Aurian have a place in the world. You have respect; you have each other to love, and to love you. Can I ever hope for that? I'm a bondservant - I'm not free to love. Can you imagine how lonely that can be? For the rest of my life I'll have nothing to look forward to - nothing and no one of my own!" -Anvar
