Could I please just deal with one threat of death at a time? (Braden)”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“Ever the charmer, eh, Braden? (Sin)
Hold your tongue, Sin. (Braden)
I would, but with my luck, one of your giant Scottish bugs would land on it. Besides, it makes my hand wet and pruney when I do that. (Sin)”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“Well, well. What have we here? (Thief #1)
Looks like we got some little pigeons just right for a plucking. (Thief #2)
Well, well. What have we here? (Sin)
Looks like a pack of fools wanting to die. (Braden)”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“And are you suspicious of me? (Maggie)
Woman, I’m suspicious of anyone who acts altruistically. I’ve only known a handful of people in my entire life who were actually kind. The vast majority of people only help others when they know it’ll benefit them in some manner. (Sin)”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“Nay! Can it be Braden’s made it a whole hour without a woman? Quick, Lochlan, send for a healer afore he collapses from the stress of celibacy. (Ewan)
Now, that’s no joking matter. It’s not good for a man to go too long without a woman. His juices back up and before you know it, he turns into a soured, ill-tempered beastie…So that’s what happened to you! Come. We’d best find you a woman quickly before you get any worse. (Braden)”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“It seems the women have decided I must put a stop to the feud against the MacDouglas or else they’ll serve us no more. (Lochlan)
In any capacity. (Ewan)
By Satan’s hairy toes, Sin, it appears I’ve died and gone to hell. (Braden)”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“Clumsy? Why, I’ve had more women than you, you whelp. Well. Maybe not more than you, but certainly more than Ewan. (Lochlan)

― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“Is that a threat? You’re but one man against all of us. (Fergus)
Aye. I’m one man with a full garrison of troops sitting rather nicely entrenched on my English lands. Trained knights and soldiers ready to march at my command. You touch one hair on Lochlan’s head and I can promise you, I’ll see every one of you in your grave. (Braden)”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“I say burn that witch. (Enos)
Aye. Burn the witch. Burn the witch. (Clan)
Burn the witch and her ugly shoes too! (Enos)
(Braden frowned at him.)
Well, they are ugly. (Enos)”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“God help him if any of them ever came true. Why, he'd be a two-headed, three-toed, monkey-nosed, blind son of a cesspit-licking lackey is she had her way.”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“His eyes defiant and smoldering, Braden held his sword aimed at the MacDouglas’s throat. “To get to her, you’ll have to come through me.”

“You want to die for her?” Robby asked.

“Aye,” Braden said without hesitation. He glanced at her and for the first time she saw the love in his eyes. “I will die for her.”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“Braden arched his brow as Maggie walked away. She was truly something else. What she was, he couldn't say in polite company, but never before had he met a woman quite like her.”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“Without a word or glance, Sin walked past her and climbed up to the stables loft. 'What's he doing?' she asked Braden as she rejoined him. 'I'm leaving the two of you alone,' Sin's muffled voice answered from above. Braden tilted his head up to stare at the wooden beams above their heads. 'Like it would matter, since we know you can hear everything we say?' 'Aye, well, I'm a pervert, not a voyeur.'"

-Maggie, Sin, & Braden”
― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

“A man protects those who need it most. Those who cannot protect themselves."

About the author

Popular quotes

“Trying to exhaust himself, Vaughan devised an endless almanac of terrifying wounds and insane collisions: The lungs of elderly men punctured by door-handles; the chests of young women impaled on steering-columns; the cheek of handsome youths torn on the chromium latches of quarter-lights. To Vaughan, these wounds formed the key to a new sexuality, born from a perverse technology. The images of these wounds hung in the gallery of his mind, like exhibits in the museum of a slaughterhouse.”
― J.G. Ballard, quote from Crash

“It's amazing how smart the body is. Though maybe we could do without loving. I think it's overrated, and I think it's too hard. You should only love your children; that is necessary, because otherwise you might kill them. But to love a man? It's overrated, and it's too hard and I will never, ever do it again.”
― Elizabeth Berg, quote from Open House

“But surely, if you trust God, you can believe the bad moments pass, and the good memories are worth enough.”
― Helen Hooven Santmyer, quote from And Ladies of the Club

“some student who’d been caught putting bumper stickers that said ‘Gas Guzzler’ on every SUV in the parking lot.”
― Katie Alender, quote from Bad Girls Don't Die

“I hate them for not being in pain like me, hate them for being able to enjoy themselves. Hate myself for feeling that way.”
― Chevy Stevens, quote from Still Missing

As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
