“Life moves fast, things change. Sometimes I think our only job on this planet is to hold on so we don´t get thrown off the ride.”

Mari Carr,
Falling Hard for her Roommate
“Promise you’ll never let go of my hand?”He kissed her. It was the easiest vow he’d ever made. “Promise.” ― Mari Carr, Falling Hard for her Roommate
“I look at my future and all I see is you.” ― Mari Carr, Falling Hard for her Roommate
“You’re finally there, Robbie. On stage in front of huge audiences. All of your hard work has paid off. It’s your time.”He didn’t want any of that. As he looked at Zoey, the priorities he’d always set for himself fell away, leaving just one. One thing that mattered to him.Her.” ― Mari Carr, Falling Hard for her Roommate
“Choose your tempo,” he whispered in her ear. “What?” “Fast and hard or slow and easy. Your tempo, your choice. You get to direct this symphony.” ― Mari Carr, Scoring
“Colt, you’re a cop. I’m fairly certain you realize what you are proposing is illegal. As in bigamy.”He laughed. “You don’t legally marry us both. Just one of us. Then the three of us make our own private vows.”“Fine,” she leaned back and gave him a smug look as if expecting her next question to jar some sense into them. “Who am I going to legally marry?”He grinned at her transparency. Obviously, she thought this was going to be a sticking point. “We’ll arm wrestle to decide that.” ― Mari Carr, Tequila Truth
“The idea of committing her body to the hands of a man she trusted was freeing, liberating in a way she couldn't quite explain, even to herself” ― Mari Carr, Sugar and Spice
“I thought if I created some distance, maybe I wouldn't want you to touch me so badly. Maybe I could come to work today and not sit at my desk all day dreaming about every wicked thing I want your hands to do to me” ― Mari Carr, Sugar and Spice
“She wanted a degree in business technology, not to be the next freaking Nora Roberts.” ― Mari Carr, Come Monday
“Jesus. Every single think about cancer fucking sucked.” ― Mari Carr, Falling Hard for her Roommate
“Jesus, she was turned-on by his spanking. He should have realized. After everything they'd done Friday night, he knew her taste for sexual adventure more than matched his.” ― Mari Carr, Sugar and Spice
“Have you ever heard the expression topping from the bottom?” She shook her head. “Yeah, well, I’m going to explain it to you tomorrow night when I have you tied facedown to my bed, spanking your ass.” She disregarded his threatening grin by flashing a mischievous smile of her own. “You’ll tell me exactly what I did wrong?” she asked. He looked at her suspiciously and nodded. “Yes, of course I will. Why?” She laughed as she answered, “I want to make sure I do it again.” ― Mari Carr, Come Monday
“The idea of spending any more time in the air was as appealing as a trip to the gynecologist, but she held her peace.” ― Mari Carr, Misplaced Princess
“Don’t fall in love with me,” he said.“I won’t,” she whispered.It was the first lie Penny Beaumont had ever told him. And he pretended to believe it was the truth.” ― Mari Carr, Hard and Fast
“Why am I friends with you again?” “Because you don’t want to grow up any more than I do, Peter Pan. Neither one of us is going down without a fight.” ― Mari Carr, Educating Ms. Wright: Friends to Lovers Romance
“Through a book the mind is given vision.With that vision the mind is given the eyes of knowledge.*Delilah and Sarah grandmother *Simone Bell” ― Mary Carr Jackson
“THINGS I LEARNED FROM DAVID CARR: A LIST Listen when you enter a room. Don’t buy into your myth. Don’t be the first one to talk, but if you do talk first, say something smart. Speak and then stop; don’t stutter or mumble; be strong in what you have to say. Be defiant. You have to work the phones. Call people. Don’t rely on emails. Ask questions but ask the right questions. Ask people what mistakes they’ve made so you can get their shortcuts. Know when enough is enough. Make eye contact with as many people as possible. Don’t be in shitty relationships because you are tired of being alone. Be grateful for the things you have in this life. You are lucky. Practice patience even though it’s one of the hardest things to master. Failure is a part of the process, maybe the most important part. Alcohol is not a necessary component of life. Street hotdogs are not your friend. Remind yourself that nobody said this would be easy. If more negative things come out of your mouth than positive, then Houston, we have a problem. We contain multitudes. Always love (See band: Nada Surf). Have a dance move and don’t be afraid to rock it. Don’t go home just because you are tired. Don’t take credit for work that is not yours. If your boss does this, take note. Be generous with praise and be specific in that praise: “That line was killer.” Cats are terrible; they poop in your house. Say what you mean and mean what you say. Do the next right thing. Our dogs are us. Only cuter. And finally: You are loved and you belong to me, the world, and yourself.

“that there were many flies trying to avoid that trap. Too many of the single women in town were casting themselves upon it. Ordinarily, Diego and Luc went out of their way to annoy her, flirting and asking her out just to make her blush and get under her skin.
