“From time immemorial we’ve been cleaning up after male messes. When a man does it for a woman, it’s called being rescued. When a woman does it for a man, it’s housework.”

Flirting with Fire
“It’s more common for people to get fire tattoos. Symbols of passion, transformation, change. But I wanted smoke because it’s what remains. After the fire, after everything is destroyed, you’re left with smoke and ash. You’ve gotta make somethin’ out of it.” ― Kate Meader, Melting Point
“Her cousin had clearly found a kindred penis in Jack Kilroy.” ― Kate Meader, Feel the Heat
“Falling in love with you was the easiest thing I’ve ever done. Falling is easy. Staying that way is hard. But I’ve been choosing hard all my life, so why the hell would the life I make with the woman who completes me be any different? I love you like a madman. You’re the air I breathe, my next heartbeat, and I’m never letting go.” ― Kate Meader, Sparking the Fire
“Watching him walk over, Alex mused that Eli Cooper was the sort of man who knew how to use his physicality. Beneath his handmade shirts and tailored suits, a street fighter hummed through every loose-limbed motion. But that impression did not extend to his face, which was structurally perfect. Skyscraper-high cheekbones. Superhero jaw. A mouth that should have a government warning. There were no signs of past trouble with a jealous husband or an abandoned girlfriend. No one had ever broken his nose. No one had busted his lip.Strange, because her first instinct on seeing him was to roundhouse kick him into the next millennium.” ― Kate Meader, Playing with Fire
“Are you telling me that men are compelled by the mere fact of their gender to choose violence as their first resort?”“Partly. It satisfies our sense of justice, it makes us feel good, and it always improves our odds with women.” ― Kate Meader, Flirting with Fire
“We can,” he murmured against her mouth, his breath a hot puff of longing. “We can do anything we want. I’ve never met anyone who needs to be held and loved as much as you do, Harper. Well, it so happens that you’ve got a man here with strong arms made to keep you safe. With so much love inside him that it’s just busting to get out. It’s all for you, minou. No one else I’d rather give it to.” ― Kate Meader, Irresistible You
“Admit you’re jealous, Emma.” “Never,” she said defiantly. “Just your nipples then. They’re pouting.” ― Kate Meader, Taking the Score
“Straight talk is a virtue. Dirty talk is a goddamn blessing.” ― Kate Meader, In Skates Trouble
“She should pull away, even though she had begged for it with her smart mouth. She should punish him for every crime he’d perpetrated. For being too good-looking, too sexy, too everything. But the kiss was like him—just too damn good. Warm and brutal, providing answers to questions she never knew she had. He teased with his tongue along the seam of her mouth, seeking that last nudge of acceptance as if it was his God-given right.She parted her lips, and like a predator hinged on her threshold, he took.” ― Kate Meader, Playing with Fire
“What do you think for dinner? I know it’s important I don’t show you up.” Something soft and red filled his lust-hazed vision. “With this first one, I can’t wear a bra because it’s backless…” She swapped it out for something dark. “…but this second one is a little low-cut. Bra or no bra?”Think, man, think. The fate of the universe depended on the answer to this question.” ― Kate Meader, Even the Score
“Staying level with Tess was going to require fast thinking, which was mighty difficult considering all the blood he needed for said thought processes was now hurtling south.“What would this job involve?”“Only one task. Make. Me. Believe.”“That I’m your fiancé?”Cue her smile, sly and sexy. First time she’d let him in on that action, too. “That you want me more than your next breath.”If she moved forward a couple of inches, his boner would make her believe.” ― Kate Meader, Even the Score
“He was the hottest guy she had everseen, so out of her league they hadn’t invented his league yet. It was like Future League of Hot Guys We Can’t Place Because They’re Too Fucking Hot.” ― Kate Meader, Playing with Fire
“They’re a slow-moving lot, reporters. Slothlike. Weighed down by all that righteous indignation about the freedom of the press and the public’s right to know, not to mention the liquid lunches they see as their constant due. Go out now and you’re playing right into their grasping, ink-stained hands.” He cocked an ear to the door. “I’m doing my best to protect your reputation here. It wouldn’t do to have a serving wench caught in a compromising position with the lord of the manor.”“You don’t have the cleavage to make a good serving wench, Eli.” ― Kate Meader, Playing with Fire
“She pushed him back to the desk, poking his chest.“I may punch you, bite you, crush your nuts between my thighs. It’s going to be the best hate sex I’ve ever had. And your survival is not my first concern.” ― Kate Meader, Playing with Fire
“I’m just a simple guy. I love beer, sex, and hockey. I hate liars, Sting, and art that doesn’t have people in it. - Luke Almeida” ― Kate Meader, Flirting with Fire
“Who needs the fairy tale when crazy, messy, sexy reality with the woman I adore is a million times better?” ― Kate Meader, Playing with Fire
“Wyatt Fox. It suited him. Clean, masculine, not a syllable wasted. Like James Bond, if 007 included cowboy-marine-firefighter in his stable of personae.Fox. Wyatt Fox. License to thrill—and send your panties plummeting.” ― Kate Meader, Sparking the Fire
“Male appreciation hardened his features from doubt to certainty. Boobs, the best negotiation strategy of them all. She thanked the Lord and her genetics for her great rack.” ― Kate Meader, Even the Score
