  • Historical Romance Quote #1

    Alyssa tried to lift her chin. She was going to do the one thing she loved again- something that reminded her of her mother; something dear to her. So what if she felt this undeniable attraction toward the dark-haired man.
    Correction.
    Earl.
    So what, indeed.

    And of course it has nothing to do with the fact that I haven't been with a women since I came to your bed back in February-Devlin.

    Gaelen Foley

  • Historical Romance Quote #3

    And then she fell into his arms. It was what he’d dreamed of on sleepless nights, holding her, feeling the press of her breasts to his chest, the flare of her hips in his hands. He forgot all about where they were, why they were alone together. He forgot the risk of his dishonor and her ruin. There was still a corrupt beast inside him, waiting for this chance. All that mattered was that they were alone, and she was with him, and he wished he never had to let her go.

    Gayle Callen

  • Historical Romance Quote #4

    And then you realize one day that you can't remember her scent and nothing smells like her anymore. You can't remember how she feels or the sound of her voice. You haven't thought of her every second of every day. Then--then you feel more alone than on the day you lost her.

    Desiree Banks

  • Historical Romance Quote #5

    And there are no words left, try as men may, to describe that little death, that incandescent instant when, transacted with mutual love, there is no difference between sweet submission and exquisite conquest.

  • Historical Romance Quote #6

    Angela turned in her chair. Resting her chin on folded hands, the
    mirror reflected the look of a girl in love. ‘Oh, what a blessing fate has
    bestowed on me.

  • Historical Romance Quote #8

    Antonia Valleau cast the first shovelful of dirt onto her husband’s fur-shrouded body, lying in the grave she’d dug in their garden plot, the only place where the soil wasn’t still rock hard. I won’t be breakin’ down. For the sake of my children, I must be strong. Pain squeezed her chest like a steel trap. She had to force herself to take a deep breath, inhaling the scent of loam and pine. I must be doing this.
    She drove the shovel into the soil heaped next to the grave, hefted the laden blade, and dumped the earth over Jean-Claude, trying to block out the thumping sound the soil made as it covered him. Even as Antonia scooped and tossed, her muscles aching from the effort, her heart stayed numb, and her mind kept playing out the last sight of her husband. The memory haunting her, she paused to catch her breath and wipe the sweat off her brow, her face hot from exertion in spite of the cool spring air.
    Antonia touched the tips of her dirty fingers to her lips. She could still feel the pressure of Jean-Claude’s mouth on hers as he’d kissed her before striding out the door for a day of hunting. She’d held up baby Jacques, and Jean-Claude had tapped his son’s nose. Jacques had let out a belly laugh that made his father respond in kind. Her heart had filled with so much love and pride in her family that she’d chuckled, too.
    Stepping outside, she’d watched Jean-Claude ruffle the dark hair of their six-year-old, Henri. Then he strode off, whistling, with his rifle carried over his shoulder. She’d thought it would be a good day—a normal day. She assumed her husband would return to their mountain home in the afternoon before dusk as he always did, unless he had a longer hunt planned.
    As Antonia filled the grave, she denied she was burying her husband. Jean-Claude be gone a checkin’ the trap line, she told herself, flipping the dirt onto his shroud.
    She moved through the nightmare with leaden limbs, a knotted stomach, burning dry eyes, and a throat that felt as though a log had lodged there. While Antonia shoveled, she kept glancing at her little house, where, inside, Henri watched over the sleeping baby. From the garden, she couldn’t see the doorway.
    She worried about her son—what the glimpse of his father’s bloody body had done to the boy. Mon Dieu, she couldn’t stop to comfort him. Not yet. Henri had promised to stay inside with the baby, but she didn’t know how long she had before Jacques woke up.
    Once she finished burying Jean-Claude, Antonia would have to put her sons on a mule and trek to where she’d found her husband’s body clutched in the great arms of the dead grizzly. She wasn’t about to let his last kill lie there for the animals and the elements to claim. Her family needed that meat and the fur.
    She heard a sleepy wail that meant Jacques had awakened. Just a few more shovelfuls. Antonia forced herself to hurry, despite how her arms, shoulders, and back screamed in pain.
    When she finished the last shovelful of earth, exhausted, Antonia sank to her knees, facing the cabin, her back to the grave, placing herself between her sons and where their father lay. She should go to them, but she was too depleted to move.

  • Historical Romance Quote #9

    Any friend of my cousin's is a friend of mine, sir. How exactly do you know Lady Zoe?
    Before Tristan could answer, Zoe jumped in. We met at some party, did we not, Mr. Bonnaud?
    Yes. Tristan forced a smile. Clearly a very dull one, since neither of us can remember which one it was.

  • Historical Romance Quote #10

    Are you quite certain you won't mind having a virgin on your hands? Not that she imagined she would remain that way for much longer. The penis pressing against her seemed to say that her time as a virgin was down to mere minutes.

    Hope Tarr

  • Historical Romance Quote #11

    Are you quite through with your lurid comments and wicked amusements?

    Hardly, my dear, this is just the beginning. You may not be eager now, but I shall melt that ice of yours yet. I always get what I want, and I don't mind waiting for a little while.

    Virginia Aird

  • Historical Romance Quote #12

    As a lady of clocklike precision yourself, you may appreciate my schedule. I have kept strictly to it every day for the past decade. From eight in the morning to eight in the evening, I devote myself to my duties. Then from eight in the evening to eight in the morning, I . . . do . . . not.

    Erica Ridley

  • Historical Romance Quote #13

    As he looked at her, she felt that flood of restlessness that she now knew was called desire.

    Shelly Thacker

  • Historical Romance Quote #14

    As I have said, milady, I mean to keep you safe, not harm you. And it is not my habit to force myself on unwilling maidens.
    Aye, pilgrim? she asked dubiously. Next you will tell me you are as chaste as a monk. She backed toward the door.
    A grin slowly eased the hard line of his mouth. I did not say that.

    Shelly Thacker

  • Historical Romance Quote #15

    As she reached back for the buckle, her fingers met Mr. Meisner’s. She jumped. “I can do this... Sir.”

    “Ah.” He brushed aside her fingers. “I see you’ve at least remembered the sir.”

    “One always calls gentlemen that, just as you--”

    With only a rustle of cloth to warn her, his teeth met in the lobe of her ear, sending a spark into her middle. Like the melt of winter snow, she felt heat pool in her lower body. Her fingers curled against her collarbone where her hands still rested either side of her neck.

    “I’m not a gentleman, Faith.

    Cari Silverwood

  • Historical Romance Quote #16

    As the tension between the Protestants and the Church of Rome intensified, so did the desire for a third way among dissenting groups. Soon a new group emerged, though in some senses it was also an old group—one that felt it could trace its origins all the way back to the New Testament. Known collectively as the Radical Reformation, these persecuted groups often advocated a nonviolent ethic, the separation of church and state, and a desire for both personal and corporate holiness. The ideas of these radicals spread through Europe, and over the years the Amish, Mennonites and Anabaptists, and to a lesser degree the Covenanters and Quakers, emerged or were influenced by this movement.

    David Holdsworth

  • Historical Romance Quote #17

    At first, I did not tell you any of this because...you were not supposed to mean anything to me. And later... His voice became rough with emotion. Later, I did not tell you because you mean so much to me.

    Shelly Thacker

  • Historical Romance Quote #18

    Aye, we are. Ye told me that ye loved me, and that this is where ye wished to be. I told ye that I wished for ye to remain here with me. I offered a betrothal, if ye’ll recall, when ye were ready. But I neglected to tell ye the most important thing before our passions overtook us yesterday. I love ye, too, Aileana. I never want to lose ye again. I want ye beside me, always.

    Willa Blair

  • Historical Romance Quote #19

    Badava se ne može ni u nebo. Svatko mora platiti nebesko blaženstvo na ovoj zemlji pitanjima i iskušenjima koje valja izdržati mucenicki.

    Marija Juric Zagorka

  • Historical Romance Quote #20

    Be thankful all she did was raise her voice, Mr. Blackpool told Sarah conspiratorially. During the ride to London, I had to talk her out of scaling up the townhouse walls, should the door go unanswered.
    She had to hide her smile at the image of flamboyant Mrs. Blackpool climbing row houses like a circus monkey. We are fortunate indeed that such measures did not prove necessary.

  • Historical Romance Quote #21

    Beatrix wished she were a swooning sort of female. It seemed the only appropriate response to the situation.
    Unfortunately, no matter how she tried to summon a swoon, her mind remained intractably conscious.

    Before I disappear behind the door, I stop and turn around to look at him.

    Nancy B. Brewer

  • Historical Romance Quote #24

    Before the war, a white man named Jonathan Edwards came to Stockbridge to teach my people about sin, but I doubt very much he could see sin in this. You defended yourself against a man who would otherwise have killed you and your friends. Perhaps you feel no regret because your spirit knows you did what was right.

    Pamela Clare

  • Historical Romance Quote #25

    Being a pioneering reformer is all fine and good, but it does leave one terribly in want of a
    good party!

    Jenny Holiday

  • Historical Romance Quote #26

    Benjamin non gli stava sorridendo solo con le labbra, ma anche con gli occhi, le braccia e tutto il resto del corpo. Il capitano era lì ed era venuto per lui, pronto ad accoglierlo con cuore e anima, per condurlo via con sé.

    Cristina Bruni

    Bitter disappointment pushed tears from her eyes.
    Now what's wrong? I said you could wear it.
    She drew in a shaky breath.
    I w-wanted you to l-like my dreeessssss.
    He moved his gaze over her.
    The gown makes my mouth water, love.
