“This is the prize I want,” he said. “Let me spend tonight with your heart instead of your head.”

“The two of us were bound together by the thread of grief, but it wasn't just our mutual losses that united us. We'd survived them, found each other, and discovered that sometimes, from darkness can come light.” ― Brenda Rothert, Bound
“I wanted it back there, where I can’t see it, to remind me that …” He sighed and rubbed his jaw. “Sometimes even though you can’t see someone, they’re always with you.” ― Brenda Rothert, Bound
“You hold the key. And you can keep it in your hand for as long as you need to. But there will come a point where you’re ready to use that key to break out of the jail you’ve put yourself in. Only you can set yourself free.” ― Brenda Rothert, Captive
“Friends tell you what you want to hear,” Dani said. “Real friends tell you what you need to hear.” ― Brenda Rothert, Now and Then
“I thought losing Robert was the hardest thing I’d ever been through. But it wasn’t. Moving on from it was.” ― Brenda Rothert, Bound
“I like the way you look at me,” I admit. “Like I hung the moon.”“To me, you did. And I like the way you look at me. Like I’m all right just the way I am.”I balk at that. “You’re so much more than ‘all right.’ You’re perfect.”“I’m not, though,” she says softly.“Perfect in my eyes.” ― Brenda Rothert, Come Closer
“She was like me; too wounded to be blindly optimistic anymore.” ― Brenda Rothert, Bound
“Satisfying you is my job, and I take my job very seriously” ― Brenda Rothert, Captive
“Because going out with an attractive intelligent man who is obviously ass over teakettle for you would be so awful?” ― Brenda Rothert, Deep Down
“A bitch is a bitch. I think that’s inscribed in hieroglyphics on a pyramid somewhere. And hotness does not make up for it.” ― Brenda Rothert, Now and Then
“Yes. And yes, the carpet matches the drapes. I’ve only been asked that like three dozen times by hockey players, so don’t consider yourself original.” ― Brenda Rothert, The Complete Fire on Ice Series
“Admitting your fears to yourself is the first step in cleansing them from your body. And it’s the hardest part.” ― Brenda Rothert, Captive
“Let the anger and betrayal boil over and you’ll feel stronger. You’ll be stronger.” ― Brenda Rothert, Deep Down
“And if you’re in trouble, say, ‘It’s hot in here.’ When we hear those words from either of you, we’re busting inside the place. So for fuck’s sake, don’t say that just because it’s warm in his house.” ― Brenda Rothert, Come Closer
“Do what you want,” he says, shrugging. “But I tell Carrie how I feel about her all the time. Every day. Because I know if I don’t take care of her in every way, some other dude will knock me over for the chance to. I love her and if that makes me a woman, I don’t give a fuck.” ― Brenda Rothert, Hooked
“a low-cut sleeveless” ― Brenda Rothert, Bound
“Grief was a hell of a thing. Some days you climbed the walls and others you couldn’t get out of bed. Just when you thought you might be pulling through, something would punch you in the gut and you’d be flat on your back again.” ― Brenda Rothert, The Complete Fire on Ice Series
