That's What HE Said #45 ~ Thirsty Thursday & Hungry Hearts #24

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:

Magic Rises by Ilona Andrews

***

"I love you and you love me, and we're both too fucked up for anyone else. Who else would have us?"

Why yes, this is what constitutes romance between Kate & Curran. And even though I spent so much of Magic Rises tied up in knots, I loved it!

I grabbed a mug and watched him pour the nearly black liquid out. Back when we both worked for the Mercenary Guild, Jim preferred to take night jobs. The giant vat of coffee was made one, in the morning. By the end of the night, no sane soul would touch it. Jim drank it like water.
Jim filled my mug. I sniffed it. So far, so good, I took a brave sip. The bitter scalding liquid slid a third of the way down my throat and got stuck. "Dear God."
He grinned.
"Jim, if I turn the cup upside down, it will roll out slowly like molasses."
"That's how you know it's good. Drink it, it will put hair on your chest."

I like my coffee strong, but this is a bit too strong. ;)
