More quotes by Julia Quinn
He gave her his best smile. His best I-almost-died-so-how-can-you-deny-me smile. Or at least that’s how he hoped it appeared.

It suddenly made sense. Only twice in his life had he felt this inexplicable, almost mystical attraction to a woman.

He sucked his lips in an attempt not to laugh. Aren't you Spanish? She raised one arm in a salute. Viva la Queen Isabella! I see. Then why are you speaking with a French accent?
Julia Quinn
She had been born for this man, and she had spent so many years trying to accept the fact that he had been born for someone else.
Julia Quinn
His brows rose. “And how is it that you have come to be such an expert on scrapes and bruises?” “I’m a governess,” she said. Because really, that ought to be explanation enough.

Weakness never got anyone anywhere.

I also think he is given to disguises...Sometimes he wears spectacles and sometimes he does not. And twice he has worn an extremely peculiar hat. Inside.

Nothing like trapping the gentlemen where they couldn't get away.

You have a mother? He quirked a brow. Did you think mine was some sort of divine birth? My father was a remarkable man, but even he was not that talented.
Julia Quinn
He'd been waiting for a love fraught with passion and drama it hadn't even occurred to him that true love might be something that was utterly comfortable and just plain easy.
Julia Quinn

Raw toast, Lucas said grimly, shaking his head. It goes against the very nature of man.
Julia Quinn
In every life there is a turning point. A moment so tremendous, so sharp and clear that one feels as if one's been hit in the chest, all the breath knocked out, and one knows, absolutely knows without the merest hint of a shadow of a doubt that one's life will never be the same.
Julia Quinn
I love you with everything I am, everything I've been, and everything I hope to be. I love you with my past, and I love you for my future. I love you for the children we'll have and for the years we'll have together. I love you for every one of my smiles and even more, for every one of your smiles.
Julia Quinn
