“Ever the charmer, eh, Braden? (Sin)
Hold your tongue, Sin. (Braden)

― Kinley MacGregor, quote from Claiming the Highlander

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

“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

― 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

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

About the author

Popular quotes

“Until recently each generation found it more expedient to plead guilty to the charge of being young and ignorant, easier to take the punishment meted out by the older generation (which had itself confessed to the same crime short years before). The command to grow up at once was more bearable than the faceless horror of wavering purpose, which was youth.”
― Maya Angelou, quote from I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

End of discussion.The Titan hefted his spear and they continued marching into the gloom.”

― Richelle Mead, quote from Bloodlines

“Stop it!" I hissed glaring at both in turn. "Stop it right now! Put your weapons up, both of you! Ash, you're in no condition to fight, and, Puck, shame on you, agreeing to duel him when he's obviously hurt. Sit down and shut up."

-Meghan”
― Julie Kagawa, quote from The Iron King

About BookQuoters

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. 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.

We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.

Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
