Romance Quote by Tessa Dare — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“I'm infatuated with you, I cannot deny it. Physically speaking, you're a very attractive man. But I don't like you, the vast majority of the time. So far as I can gather, you behave abominably in public and are only marginally better in private. I only find you remotely tolerable when you're kissing me.”

“Oh, dear." She let her head fall back to the pillow. "There it went. I've fallen in love with you now.”

“You don't want me to feel obligated? Well, I'm sorry, Lily. I am here”

“Most lasses like it when a man kills the bugs. Along with reaching high places and giving sexual pleasure, it's one of the few universally popular qualities we have on offer.”

“I will insist you be man enough to take it. I won’t have you making light of my feelings, or making light of yourself—as if you’re not worthy of them. Because you are worthy, Colin. You’re a generous, good-hearted person, and you deserve to be loved. Deeply, truly, well, and often.”

“A hint of sensual frustration roughened his voice.”

“He’d used the amulet to read my thoughts again.”

“Had he but turned back then, and looked out once more on to the rose-lit garden, she would have seen that which would have made her own sufferings seem but light and easy to bear--a strong man, overwhelmed with his own passion and despair. Pride had given way at last, obstinacy was gone: the will was powerless. He was but a man madly, blindly, passionately in love and as soon as her light footstep had died away within the house, he knelt down upon the terrace steps, and in the very madness of his love he kissed one by one the places where her small foot had trodden, and the stone balustrade, where her tiny hand had rested last.”

“I never had any preference for her, any more than I have a preference for breathing.”

“While he was the sun that lit your world, you were the darkness that shadowed mine.”

“Hearts are healed by the sea.”
