Top 10 Week! My Favorite Quotes of 2019




 I love posting my favorite quotes! This is a list of my favorite quotes from books I read in 2019. They're in no particular order. 





His eyes dart from the horizon to my red bikini and back again. “I saw that,” I say. He sips his drink. “Saw what?”“You checked out my chest.”“Of course I did. It’s like having two other people up here with us. I don’t want to be rude.” 











"At the end of the day, we’re all just children pretending to be adults.”













"She had much she wanted to say to him, but she might end up knifing him by mistake."










"Face them all like a warrior, whether you are one or not."












“Tell the truth, or I'll hunt you down and use a dull, dirty knife to relieve you of body parts your missus might once have been fond of.”









"I just tossed a werewolf out of my cabin for trying to kill my kitten that's now a skunk, and tonight, I might turn into a wolf myself."




“Now,” the duke said, “there’s something I’ve been meaning to discuss with you, Holloway. Your wardrobe.”
Sebastian glanced down at himself. “What I wear is serviceable enough. I’ve had this
waistcoat for years.”
“And it deserves some rest to repay its decade of valiant service,” Rotherby noted. “A rake is
never dressed in clothing that’s old enough to marry.”
“After paying my rent, what’s left goes mostly to books.”
Rotherby snorted. “You must have a sizable library, then.”
“It’s not the size,” Sebastian replied drily. “It’s what I do with it. Very thick volumes.”







“It’s our brokenness that makes us who we are. Without the shattered pieces, our lights would never filter through to the rest of the world.”

Release Day Review! Tanner by Lauren Runow & Jeannine Colette





Tanner (Sexton Brothers #3) by Lauren Runow and Jeannine Colette
Genre: Adult Fiction (Contemporary Romance)
Expected publication: January 2019
Publisher: Self

“A kiss was all I needed.”
“Looks like you got what you wished for.”
“Yes. About that…”

I was supposed to find a finely dressed businessman, have a one-night stand and forget about my failed relationship. Instead, I meet Tanner Sexton—a gorgeous man in street clothes, messy hair and the sexiest smile I’ve ever seen.

When my ex shows up at the bar, Tanner notices my panic and kisses me just so the prick can see. Then he takes off, leaving me breathless.

So, I do what any rational person would. I chase after him onto the subway, and embark on a wild night in New York City with a complete stranger.

No matter how much I fight it, this mysterious artist painted his soul onto my skin, and I haven’t been able to forget him. Our romance is one for the ages, but age isn’t the only thing standing in our way.


Tanner is the final book in the Sexton Brothers trilogy by Lauren Runow & Jeannine Colette. This is Tanner's story! I liked Tanner a lot. I'm a fan of all the brothers. I can't pick a favorite, as I like them all for different reasons. I enjoyed the way Tanner and Harper first met. It was a bit different the usual, and they didn't like each each other right off the bat.. well, they did, but they didn't. They had some definite chemistry that only built up more and more through the story. These two were pretty hot together. I wanted to kick Harper in the pants a few times, but I liked how Tanner handled the situations. Also, the subplot involving the brother's father is wrapped up nicely. I had a hunch about what was what, but I did't know all the details. Honestly, there was a detail or two, I didn't expect. I'm sad to see this trilogy end, but I'm very happy with how everything came together. 

The ARC of Tanner by Lauren Runow & Jeannine Colette was kindly provided to me by WordSmith Publicity for review. The opinions are my own.
