“yes, it is true that you feel love—most of the time. But after years of chores and kids and bills and life, there are some days we don’t feel the love, and those are the most important days to choose to love.”

“Do you have any idea how it drove me crazy seeing you and not being able to touch you or kiss you or even just tell you how beautiful you were.” ― Melanie Shawn, My First: Jason & Katie
“You deserve to be the woman that every other woman he ever meets gets compared to—not the other way around.” ― Melanie Shawn, Snow Days
“Deanna lifted her hand to the back of her neck, stretching it from side to side. Now that he thought about it, she’d been doing that a lot today.“Do you have a headache?” he asked.She sighed. “Yeah. I haven’t been sleeping that well, and when we were doing drills yesterday, I tweaked my neck carrying equipment the wrong way.”Lucky saw a way to get this conversation back on track, so he steered them towards it. “I can help you with that.”“That’s okay,” she dismissed him. “I don’t want a massage, but thanks.”“I wasn’t offering a massage, but you’re welcome.”“But you said you could help me…”“Yeah, I did. And I can. But I didn’t say anything about a massage,” he corrected her.“Oh, no, I don’t want to take anything. I try not to take medicine unless I absolute—”“Ehhh,” he interrupted her, making the sound of a buzzer. “Wrong again. Do you want to try door number three, or should I just tell you what I was offering?”She chuckled, and his heart swelled with pride. The fact that he had made her laugh so easily made him feel like Leo on the Titanic—like he was the king of the world.“Fine. Tell me,” she replied, her tone in full sass mode.“Well, since you asked soooo nicely,” he overemphasized. “I was going to say that I could get rid of your headache if you wanted me to.”Sounding more than a little skeptical, she asked, “How?”“By going down on you,” he stated plainly and confidently.“What!?” she shrieked. “What are you talking about?”“I’m talking about me between your legs for a good thirty minutes or so. You’ll feel the scratch of my stubble on the side of your thighs, and all you’ll see is the top of my head. I’m talking about touching and kissing and licking you—”“Okay,” she cut in. “I get the point.”“Well.” He shrugged. “You asked what I was talking about, so I figured I should be clear.”Laughter filled her voice as she asked, “How do you do that?”“Do what?”“Say those….things… and make them sound so casual? Normal? Not dirty?”“It’s part of my charm, really. I can make the most innocent things sound dirty and the dirtiest things sound completely innocent,” he explained.“I believe you.” She was shaking her head and looking out the window, but with the moonlight streaming in, he could see that her face was flushed with what he was going to believe was arousal.“Just think about it. The offer’s on the table.” With that he turned up the music, which happened to be R&B. He figured a little Marvin Gaye couldn’t do anything but help his cause.” ― Melanie Shawn, Lucky Kiss
“One cannot enjoy a proper pity party and feel guilty about it at the same time. That was just a waste of a good pity party.” ― Melanie Shawn, Sweet Reunion
“She wasn't just soul mate, she as my soul's balance. She just made everything... right.” ― Melanie Shawn
“If it’s real love, then it’s beyond worth it.” ― Melanie Shawn, Crazy Love: Krista & Chase
“He never met a stranger. Every person in the world, to him, was just a friend he hadn’t met yet. He always saw the good in people. Sometimes, that’s all he would see, even if no one else could see it.” ― Melanie Shawn, Sweet Reunion

“He never met a stranger. Every person in the world, to him, was just a friend he hadn’t met yet.” ― Melanie Shawn, Sweet Reunion
“eat.” ― Melanie Shawn, Hope Falls Series Bundle: Vol. 1, Books 1-4.5
“The funk that she’d been in was still hanging around like a bad fart but she was doing her best to spray aerosol, open windows, and light matches.” ― Melanie Shawn, Flirting with Fate
“Saturday. Is ten okay?” I repeated. “For what?” she asked, still looking as confused as a chameleon in a Skittles bag.” ― Melanie Shawn, Someday Girl
“Prior planning prevents poor performance.” ― Melanie Shawn, Unwrapping Jade
“When I’m gone you might feel overwhelmed, or scared, or sad, and it might be hard for you to think about the future without me in it. But don’t worry about getting through the next year, or month, or even the next week. All you have to do is focus on making it through the next second. Because seconds turn into minutes, minutes turn into hours, hours turn into days, days turn into weeks, weeks turn into months, and months turn into years. And pretty soon you look back and it might not all be good, but at least it’s all behind you.” ― Melanie Shawn, Just One Night: Josh & Bailey
“I just want a guy that opens the door for me and then slaps my ass when I walk through it. I mean, is that too much to ask for?” ― Melanie Shawn, Unwrapping Jade
