Quotes edit

“Oh boy, we were in trouble. I never said the right thing. Lula was right. I was a relationship disaster.”
Stephanie Plum -
“My parents didn't have the perfect marriage, but over the years they'd developed a plan to make things work. My mother made my dad feel like he was the king of the castle, and my dad abdicated the kingdom over to my mom.”
Stephanie Plum -
“I was hit by a gust of wind, and I hunkered down into my jacket, my breath makinig frost clouds in front of me. Diesel pulled me close and snuggled me into him, and I instantly felt warm. The heat burned in my chest, curled through my stomach, and headed south. My voice rose an octave. "What are you doing?" "I'm warming you," Diesel said. "I don't need to be that warm." "Hey I'm just sharing body heat. I can't help it if it gets you all bothered." "I'm not bothered" Diesel smiled down at me. "Oh crap." I said looking up at him. "You've got dimples." "That isn't all I've got." I jumped away. "I'm leaving. I'm going to check on Charlene Klinger."”
