That's What HE Said #34 ~ Thirsty Thursday & Hungry Hearts #13

That's What He Said is a weekly meme hosted by the lovely ladies @Chapter Break. Here's the deal: every Thursday, post a line from your book boyfriend to his heroine. Keep in mind, these are direct quotes from dialog in the books. The quote doesn't have to be romantic - just something our hunky hero said to his lucky lady. Be sure to link up over at Chapter Break as well.

My pick this week for That's What He Said is from:

Ride Steady by Kristen Ashley

Yeah, I've been on a KA binge as of late. I'm buddy reading with Robyn @robgirlbooks again and this one...it's been like a punch in the gut. But a punch you're thankful for. ;)

"I don't know where this will lead," he stated. "You and me and your boy. I know what we got. I know I like what we got. I know I wanna keep that strong and make it stronger. Shit happens. I hope like fuck it happens to us, we'll fight through to the other side. But I know this and you gotta know it too. No matter what happens, I will never, not ever, not fuckin' ever, Carissa, regret ridin' down that shoulder to help you and your boy. It's the best decision I ever made in my life, and I know that in a way I know I'll feel that until the day I fuckin' die."

This is from a conversation between Shy (from Own the Wind) and Joker, where Shy is explaining what it means that Carissa showed up at Chaos with a pie for Joker. Joker was a bit dense about things at first, but he caught on to what'd make him happy. :)

"Dress was cheap, brother, same with the shoes. But it was all she had. She put 'em on, did up her face, her hair, and trotted her ass into a den of bikers to bring you a pie. You want butterflies, at this point, you gotta crook your finger. You wanna keep 'em, you gotta be smart."
