“I was planning on using a spoon,” Honoria replied.”
― Bec McMaster, quote from Kiss of Steel

“Easy, luv. Don't stir the devil, or you'll 'ave to pay the consequences."
"I'm not sure I have any coin on me," she said leaning closer and kissing the stubbled roughness of his jaw. "Do you think he would accept my favors instead?" A sultry whisper in his ear.
Blade groaned, "Bloody 'ell, Honor. Don't tease a man so."
"But it's so very exciting.”
― Bec McMaster, quote from Kiss of Steel

― Bec McMaster, quote from Kiss of Steel

“Sweet dreams,luv."His smile suddenly blazed as though he knew what her dreams would be full of."I know mine will be.”
― Bec McMaster, quote from Kiss of Steel
“Honoria clung to him, her heart and mind racing. What did she want of this? A moment of tumbled passion, a few nights of escape from dreariness of her life? or more?
Someone to love her. Someone to hold her on his arms, to tell her that she was the center of his world. Some one to trust. Someone to love back.”
― Bec McMaster, quote from Kiss of Steel
“Here, now. What have we here?' Blade whispered. 'A little kitten, all of my own,' he purred. 'Far from home'.”

“it gets better.
When Mystery Boy lifts the bike off my legs and I roll over onto my back and see his face, well--
He’s note cute--
He’s gorgeous.
Carved like a sculpture, a warrior. His hair is jet-black and shaved close to his head. And his skin is smooth and tan.
He looks about my age. I think.
And, God--I’m so busy staring at my Knight in Shining Armor that for a second I don’t notice that I’m bleeding.
My forehead.
I start to sit up.
“Whoa, Nelly,” he says, smiling down at me with this big toothy grin that actually causes my heart to palpitate. He puts his hand behind my head and eases me back, gently, onto the ground. “Hold your horses,” he says, smiling this gentle quiet smile. “You battled a moose, and--” He moves close and winks. “I think you won.”

Sweet Little ThingBookQuoters 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.
