| 013df19 | I miss him every single day," he said. "I hate how the people who really get you are the ones you can never hold on to for very long. And the ones who don't understand you at all stick around." | Marisha Pessl | ||
| 602498a | Only the greatest of personal demons can force you to do powerful work. | Marisha Pessl | ||
| b2ace91 | Finally, a sport I could enjoy. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| c329f2b | Sure, he was attracted to her, but women always had to go beyond that. Women [had] nesting fantasies. It wasn't long before they were redecorating your apartment and criticizing your choice of mustard. | fantasies janet-evanovich kate-o-hare lee-goldberg mustard nick-fox women | Janet Evanovich | |
| 351753b | He opened two blouse buttons and traced a line along the top of my bra with his fingertip. He bent his head, brushed a kiss across my breast, and slipped his hand inside my bra. I think I might have moaned a little, and I steadied myself by sliding my hand up the inside of his thigh. It turns out that just because I think I could have a future with Morelli doesn't mean I'm entirely immune to Ranger's hotness. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 1edde45 | Will you look at this," Grandma said. "Closed casket. Isn't this a fine howdy-do. I get dressed up and come out to pay my respects, and I don't even get to see anything." Martha Deeter was shot and autopsied. They'd taken her brain out to get weighed. After she was put back together she probably looked like Frankenstein. I was personally relieved to see a closed casket." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 671ecee | He pulled his nose out of her cleavage and turned to me. "Gaylord Brown," he said. "It's the perfect name because I'm gay and I'm brown." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 0cf769a | Ranger unlocked my door, pulled me to him, and kissed me. The kiss started out gentle and finished with enough heat to raise the temperature in the hallway by ten degrees. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 1ebd53f | There's no tab. And there's no price for what we give each other. Not ever. Not financial. Not emotional. I have to get back to work. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 09f60bc | My eyes never got lower than your nipples. If it wasn't for the fact that Morelli would shoot me I would have taken you on his front lawn. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 54d3aee | I don't know what this country's coming to when an old lady can't keep a gun in her purse. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 8b51aca | Gravy isn't a food group." "Say what?" | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 5472432 | He grabbed me by my jacket lapels, pulled me to him, and kissed me. His tongue touched mine and I got a rush that was just a millimeter below climax. His hands slid inside my jacket and circled my waist. He was hard against me. And suddenly nothing mattered but a Ranger-induced orgasm. I wanted one. Now. The hell with Eddie DeChooch. One of these days he'd drive himself into a bridge abutment and that'd be the end of that. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 96df469 | able to walk away. I was firmly pulled back by my ponytail. Ranger had come in behind me and had me by the hair. "Glad to see you're hard at work looking for Mooner." "Shhh. I want to hear Joyce bark like a dog." Ranger had me flat against him, and I could feel the heat from his body seeping into mine. "Not sure that's worth waiting for, babe." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| b0e03fb | I don't get writer's block because I don't believe in it. I believe you sit in front of the computer and force your fingers to get something on the screen. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| b5b6dd7 | Ranger released my ponytail but kept a hand on my neck. I tried to act calm, but his touch was humming through me all the way to my toes and points in between. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 69b4db2 | Sometimes when a plan is right, everything else, all the things you can't control, falls into place just the way it should. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| f81999c | The mother and daughter whose roles had reversed--Grandma gladly relinquishing parental responsibility, my mother grimly accepting the task, struggling to find a place for an old woman who'd suddenly become a strange hybrid of tolerant mother and rebellious daughter. My father, in the living room, not wanting any part of it. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| b28e379 | Morelli opened a kitchen drawer, removed a gun, and stepped to the cellar door. "Wait," I said, "maybe we should call the police." "Cupcake, I am the police." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 00ea074 | I always know it's Sunday because I wake up feeling apologetic. That's one of the cool things about being a Catholic ... it's a multifaceted experience. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 10e2094 | OKAY, SO HERE'S the thing. My mother's worst fear has come true. I'm a nymphomaniac. I lust after a lot of men. Of course, maybe that's because I don't actually actually have sex with any. And some of my lustings probably aren't | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 6c685d5 | There was only one way I could see managing this. I got out, ran around the car, opened his door, and straddled him with one leg outside and one foot on the console. Beeeeeep! My ass was on the horn. Beeeep, beeeep, beeeep, beepbeepbeepbeepbeep! A bead of sweat streaked down the side of Ranger's face. "Babe." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| db3701b | It's a long story," I said. "The short version is Diesel and I are pretending to get married, so we can get Kloughn to marry Valerie." "Does Morelli know about this?" "It's pretend." "I'm not even gonna ask if Ranger knows. Poor ol' Diesel here be dead if Ranger knew." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 29bda3c | Rule three, never underestimate nosy neighbors. Mrs. Rupp called and wanted to know why you were standing in the alley, looking into her windows, and she was wondering if she should call the police. I explained it was most likely *my* windows you were looking in and reminded her that *I* was the police, so she needn't bother with another phone call. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 13937e4 | Sally looked over at him. "What, are you homophobic?" "Nope," Morelli said. "I'm Italian. There's a difference." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 72fc423 | Mrs. Morelli opened the door to us and smacked Joe on the side of the head. "Sex fiend. Just like your father, God rest his rotten soul." Morelli grinned down at his mother. "It's a curse." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| a8e82ff | I rolled my eyes so far into the back of my head I saw myself thinking. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 63a6c1b | We took the stairs to the second floor and ran into Dillan Ruddick, the building super. He had a wet vac going, sucking up water from the soggy hall carpet. 'Thanks for saving my apartment,' I said to him. 'No problemo,' Dillan said. 'I've got it down to a science. The alarm goes off and I run straight to your apartment and grab the fire extinguishers. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| b004cdb | she wrapped her head in a towel and croaked." That sounded reasonable to me ... except for the paring knife with blood and pieces of hair stuck to it. Lula bent at the waist and examined the towel, wrapped turban style. "Must have been a good clonk she took. Lots of blood." Usually when people die their bodies evacuate and the smell gets bad fast. Mrs. Nowicki didn't smell dead. Mrs. Nowicki smelled like Jim Beam. Carl and I were both regis.. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 1fe193f | Trust him," I said. Trust Superman, Spider-man, E.T., the Ghost of Christmas Present . . . whoever the hell." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 3ba941f | Yeah, I'm a classy guy." Ranger scooped up a handful of popcorn. "A little girl's life is at stake. That doesn't leave much room for ego and turf wars." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 74bb936 | Mr. Morganthal shuffled out of the elevator and winked at me. "Hey, hootchie-mamma," he said. "Want a hot date?" He was ninety-two and lived on the third floor, next to Mrs. Delgado. "You're too late," I told him. "I've already made plans." "That's just as well. You'd probably kill me," Mr. Morganthal said." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| b1b7c48 | Morelli ran after him, there was a lot of yelling and growling, and Morelli came down empty-handed. "He ate it," Morelli said. I was horrified to the point of gagging. Ranger stared down at his shoe, making a monumental effort not to laugh. And Morelli stood hands on hips, staring at the bloody splotch on his rug." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 5d4aa44 | Unzipping that body bag didn't bother me," Ranger said, "but I'm going to have nightmares over this casino." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| e8a7d82 | Ranger stood and stretched, his black T-shirt rode up, and I caught a glimpse of two inches of brown skin and hard abs and almost had an orgasm. "Babe," he said. "Are you okay?" "Yep. Why?" "You sort of moaned." "Gas." "Understandable." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 3953f41 | Ranger smiled. "There are times when I seriously consider marrying you, but then I get yet another black mark on my path to enlightenment and forgiveness and I scratch marriage off my bucket list." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| dc0816e | was pulled out of the water and wrapped in a blanket. Someone removed the cuffs. Ranger held me tight against him, his cheek against mine. "You're okay," he said. "You're safe." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| cb7c766 | Play the role," Lula said. "That's what we do. We pick a role and we play it. What role you want to play?" "I want to be smart, and I want to be brave." "Go for it," Lula said." | Janet Evanovich | ||
| e7b686d | Riley reminded herself that she was a professional, and stabbing Emerson with her nail file wouldn't be appropriate. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| ee1f6f0 | I have you listed under entertainment," Ranger said," | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 78a0418 | Mystery creates wonder, and wonder is the basis of man's desire to understand. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 88f3ba5 | You know nothing. You're nothing but a skank-ass, pencil-dick hemorrhoid. And you smell like anal leakage." "Say what?" | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 1d88e55 | Einstein famously said if at first an idea is not absurd, there's no hope for it. | Janet Evanovich | ||
| 2cfa5d4 | I was pretty sure this time "Babe" meant I was giving him a cramp in his sphincter." | Janet Evanovich |
