“I realized that the one person who could break my heart is the only one who should have it.”

Julie James,
Just the Sexiest Man Alive
“I've been in love with you since the very beginning. You asked why there isn't anyone else in my life, and the reason... is you.” ― Julie James, Practice Makes Perfect
“Seriously, Taylor—do you know who I am?” he demanded.She smiled at this. “You celebrities actually say that? That’s cute.” ― Julie James, Just the Sexiest Man Alive
“If you also thinks it means I wake up every morning wondering what I did to deserve having you back in my life, well, you'd be right about that too.” ― Julie James, Something About You
“Life isn't always about logic and reasons—sometimes you just have to close your eyes and jump. Particularly when it comes to relationships.” ― Julie James, Just the Sexiest Man Alive
“I would have done it for you in a heartbeat” ― Julie James, Practice Makes Perfect
“First Pallas and now you,” the gray-haired man said, shaking his head at Nick. “It’s like I’m running a goddamn dating service around here.” ― Julie James, A Lot like Love
“I’d like to know more about this undercover agent who posed as my daughter’s date. The ubiquitous Tall, Dark, and Smoldering.'Nick put on his best meet-the-parent smile. 'I generally prefer to go by Nick.” ― Julie James, A Lot like Love
“We're out of time, Payton. You said it yourself: the only way we'll make it is for us to go into this together. I know we can do this. But I need you to believe it. You need to believe... in us."Peyton didn't say anything for a long moment, and J.D. could literally hear his heart beating. Then she finally answered."It would have to be called Kendall and Jameson."It took J.D a moment to catch on. Then he grinned. "No way. Jameson and Kendall. It's alphabetical.""You told our boss that you banged me on top of your desk.""Kendall and Jameson sounds great” ― Julie James, Practice Makes Perfect
“You’re here.”“I am.”Jason boldly took in the way she looked.“I take it you don’t often wear that dress in court.”“Probably not a good idea.”He grinned. “Yes, I can imagine it would be somewhat awkward standing before a judge who has a huge hard-on.”“Is that the effect this dress has?”Taylor’s eyes traveled downward, to the zipper of Jason’s pants, and he was momentarily caught off guard by her bluntness.Her eyes sparkled, amused.“You’re blushing, Jason. That’s cute.” ― Julie James, Just the Sexiest Man Alive
“Well, Ma, see... there's this girl."Silence.He checked to make sure the call hadn't been dropped. "You still there, Ma?"A sniffle."You can't be crying already," he said. "I haven't told you anything about her yet.""It doesn't matter, Nick," his mother said through her tears. "Those are the three words I've been waiting thirty-four years to hear.” ― Julie James, A Lot like Love
“Where is Wilkins, anyway?" Cameron asked."In the living room, being accosted by eighteen women who think he's a stripper. I thought it was best to duck in here.""So much for never leaving a man behind.""If he starts screaming, I'll lay down a cover fire and go pull him out.” ― Julie James, Something About You
“And you said you’d hate me forever,” Jason teased as he tossed Taylor onto the bed.She reached impatiently for his belt buckle, yanking him onto the bed with her. “This is angry sex—I actually don’t like you at all.” ― Julie James, Just the Sexiest Man Alive
“Absofuckinglutely.” ― Julie James, Just the Sexiest Man Alive
“What? I took it because of the girls in the class. Anyway, I see a bit of a P and P dynamic going on between you and Payton."J.D. didn't think he wanted to know. Really. But he asked anyway. "P and P?"Tyler shot him a look, appalled. "Uh, hello--Pride and Prejudice?" His tone said only a cretin wouldn't know this."Oh right, P and P," J.D. said. "You know, Tyler, you might want to pick up your balls--I think they just fell right off when you said that.” ― Julie James, Practice Makes Perfect
“I love you,” she said softly.Jason's arms tightened around her. He grinned sleepily. “I know.”Taylor drifted off contentedly. Until through the darkness, she heard a low, sneaky whisper. “Mrs. Taylor Andrews . . .”She didn't bother to open her eyes.“Still not gonna happen.” ― Julie James, Just the Sexiest Man Alive
“He gripped her shoulders determinedly. 'I should’ve told you this earlier, Jordan. Now that I’ve got my chance, you’re going to hear it whether you like it or not. You came into my life and messed the whole thing up and now I’m screwed. Because I’m in love with you. As in balls-out, head-over-heels, watching-Dancing-with-the-Stars-on-Monday-nights, wine-and-bubble-bath kind of love. Hell, I think I’d even wear a scarf indoors for you.” ― Julie James, A Lot like Love
“I think that you are an uptight, pony-owning, trickle-down-economics-loving, Scotch-on-the-rocks-drinking, my-wife-better-take-my-last-name sexist jerk!” ― Julie James, Practice Makes Perfect
“I gasp, and his mouth swoops down. He’s kissing me, violently. Briefly our teeth clash, then his tongue is in my mouth. Desire explodes like the Fourth of July throughout my body, and I’m kissing him back, matching his fervor, my hands knotting in his hair, pulling it, hard. He groans, a low sexy sound in the back of his throat that reverberates through me, and his hand moves down my body to the top of my thigh, his fingers digging into my flesh through the plum dress. I pour all the angst and heartbreak of the last few days into our kiss, binding him to me, and it hits me—in this moment of blinding passion—he’s doing the same, he feels the same.” ― E.L. James, Fifty Shades Darker
