“Life is too short to waste time on books that end badly”

Jayne Ann Krentz,
Running Hot
“Probably a good idea, let me know how it ends""I already know how it ends""You read the ending first?""I always read the ending before I commit to the whole book.""If you know how it ends, why read the book?""I don't read for the ending. I read for the story".” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, Running Hot
“Friends may come and go but enemies accumulate.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, In Too Deep
“Readers understand that the books celebrate female power. In the romance novel, the woman always wins. With courage, intelligence and gentleness she brings the most dangerous creature on the earth, the human male, to his knees.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz
“I love threats. They make great quotes. Is that recorder working, Irene?” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, All Night Long
“I didn't come in here to argue with a woman with big hair” ― Jayne Ann Krentz
“Believe in yourself and in your own voice, because there will be times in this business when you will be the only one who does. Take heart from the knowledge that an author with a strong voice will often have trouble at the start of his or her career because strong,distinctive voices sometimes make editors nervous. But in the end, only the strong survive.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz
“I think I'm going to cry, this is crazy.""No, you're just processing. Go ahead and cry.""I thought men got nervous around crying females.""I'm a Marine, remember? We're trained to handle anything.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, All Night Long
“Guys don't get romantically involved.""What do they get?""Involved, period.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, Summer in Eclipse Bay
“The romance genre is the only genre where readers are guaranteed novels that place the heroine at the heart of the story. These are books that celebrate women's heroic virtues and values: courage, honor, determination and a belief in the healing power of love.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz
“Romance novels are tales of brave women taming dangerous men. They are stories that capture the excitement of that most mysterious of relationships, the one between a woman and a man. They are legends told to women by other women, and they are as powerful and as endlessly fascinating to women as the legends that lie at the heart of all the other genres.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz
“Trust me, Wainwright, ninety-nine times out of a hundred you can bet the bank that I’m serious.”“What about the one time when you’re not?”“I’m asleep.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, Trust Me
“For heaven's sake, dear, he's a man. Men aren't very good at analyzing themselves, you know.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, Silver Linings
“I should have known better than to take a job as an assistant to a psychic detective.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, In Too Deep
“Pretty much everything about you gets me hot.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, Sizzle and Burn
“I am often asked why I use a variety of pen names. The answer is that this way readers always know which of my three worlds they will be entering when they pick up one of my books.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz
“Now that, would be a really dumb ass thing to do.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, In Too Deep
“Funny thing about the past. The older you get, the less it matters.” ― Jayne Ann Krentz, Summer in Eclipse Bay
“In real life women often complain about the reluctance of their male partners to engage in meaningful dialogue, but in the world of romantic fantasy heroes willingly participate in verbal discussions. They fence, they flirt, they express their anger, they talk out the confounding details of their relationships with the heroine. No hero of romance will ever respond to the eternal feminine query, "What's wrong?" with the word, "Nothing." He will tell her what's wrong; they will argue about it, perhaps, but they will be communicating, and eventually, as they resolve their various conflicts, the war of words will end. One of the most significant victories the heroine achieves at the close of the novel is that the hero is able to express his love for her not only physically but also verbally.” ― Linda Barlow and Jayne Ann Krentz
