“Know the best thing about being dismissed as an insatiable whore? People don’t mind their tongues around you. I’ve learned more information eavesdropping while I was mid-orgy than I have from spying on G7 summits, but that’s off topic.”

~ Jeaniene Frost, Shades of Wicked (Night Rebel #1)

"You hit me again and I'll--" 

"What? Bleed more?"

"I should assure you that in bed you have nothing to prove to me, or that I've never enjoyed making love to anyone more, but only a fool passes up what you just offered me. Now, I am short on some props, and there isn't nearly enough time in one night to run through all the ways I've fantasized about taking you, but I promise you this..." His voice deepened. "You'll be scandalized in the morning when you can think again."

There went my Zen moment of tranquil chi. Blackout rage, aisle five. 

Destined for an Early Grave

Kira had known nothing about him when she rushed to his aid at the warehouse, and what she had learned about him since then should only have terrified her. Yet the look Kira had given him the other day when he crouched over her by the pool had been filled with heat. Then she'd casually admitted to her attraction to him, as if that hadn't leveled him where he stood.

"Shame on you, Crispin. Married how long, and you haven’t spanked your wife with a metal spatula yet?"
I’d gotten used to Ian’s assumption that everyone was as perverted as he was, so I didn’t miss a beat.
"We prefer blender beaters for our kitchen utensil kink," I said with a straight face.
Bones hid his smile behind his hand, but Ian looked intrigued.
"I haven’t tried that . . . oh, you’re lying, aren’t you?"
"Ya think?" I asked with a snort.
Ian gave a sigh of exaggerated patience and glanced at Bones.
"Being related to her through you is a real trial."

~ Jeaniene Frost, Up From The Grave

"The day you love anyone but yourself, is the day I'll take your marital advice, Ian," Bones bit back in an icy
tone.

"Then today is that day," Ian replied sharply, "for I love you, you wretched, pig-headed, guttersnipe. I also love that arrogant, overpriviledged dandy smirking at us" -a wave indicated Spade, whose aforementioned smirk vanished- "as well as the emotionally fractured, malfunctioning psychic who sired me. And you Crispin, love a bloodthirsty hellion who's probably killed more people in her thirty years than I have in over two centuries of living, so again I say don't bother trying to convince her she isn't who she is."

...Then I drove long enough to ditch the car in a dark, deserted area before yanking the blond employee close and vaulting upward into the night.
Too late, I realized my mistake. I'd ordered the man not to speak; I hadn't ordered him not to be afraid. When we were about a mile up, something warm soaked through my jeans. A glance down confirmed my suspicions.
"Eww, you peed on me?" {snip}
Damn, Ian was already here. I braced myself as he came out from behind the RV. He sniffed, his nose wrinkling. Then he looked over me and my blond captive, grinning.
"Managed to squeeze in a golden shower along the way? How lecherous. I'm impressed."

"Majestic," Bones greeted the woman seated on a plush recliner chair, nodding his head respectfully."
But when I came out from behind him and saw Marie more clearly, my polite hello vanished under a burst of laughter. On the floor right next to her smart little heels was a pale container of plastic-wrapped poultry, and I didn't have to look at the label to guess what kind. "A headless chicken," I said once I'd gotten my laughter under control. "Very cool." Bones arched a brow at me, not knowing that upon first meeting the ghoul queen of New Orleans, I'd commented that I was sure she'd be holding a headless chicken considering her fearsome voodoo reputation. Apparently, she'd remembered that, yet another example of the sly humor lurking underneath her whole Queen of the Damned demeanor.  "It was the best I could do under short notice," Marie replied with an elegant shrug.

“Moths," repeats Will. "You're afraid of moths?"

"Not just a cloud of moths," she says, "like...a swarm of them. Everywhere. All those wings and legs and..." She shudders and shakes her head.

"Terrifying," Will says with mock seriousness. "That's my girl. Tough as cotton balls."

"Oh, Shut up.”

“Is that a stake, Bones, or are you just happy with my new dress?”

“In this case, it’s a stake. You could always feel around for something more, though. See what comes up.”

Fangirl Friday: Bones from Jeaniene Frost's Night Huntress Series

It's no secret that I have a favorite urban fantasy hero, one that stands head-and-shoulders above all others. Crispin Phillip Arthur Russell III, more commonly known as Bones, is without a doubt the perfect man. At least in my head. When I first picked up Halfway to the Grave, nearly three years ago, I had no idea that by the end of that week (yep, I read all available books in the matter of a week!) I would be completely ruined for all other fictional men. And I am. Bones is now the measuring stick I use to compare all other heroes. Most are found lacking, while a few come close, but none can even share that pedestal with Bones, much less best him for the top spot. He remains the very best.

Click through, and I'll do my best to tell you why without devolving into shrill fangirling, babbling, or drooling. Although there will probably be a little of all of those. It is Bones after all.

“The clock struck eleven and Cat the vampire huntress was on the loose, except my battle armor was a push-up bra, curled hair and a short dress. Yeah, it was a dirty job, but I was going to do it. Come one, come all, bloodsuckers! Bar’s open!” 
Halfway to the Grave, Jeaniene Frost

“Cat, hmmm? From where I sit you look more like a Kitten."
My head jerked around and I shot him an annoyed look.
Oh, I was going to enjoy this, all right.
"It's Cat," I repeated firmly. "Cat Raven."
"Whatever you say, Kitten Tweedy.”

The Night Huntress series has it's share of hilarious zingers, heart-wrenching life truths, stunning declarations of love, and sexy lines that leave us panting, so narrowing it down to just one per book was quite the challenge. A challenge we accepted.

“Come to think of it, pet, you are a liar, possessor of false identification, and a murderer.”

“Your point?” I snapped.

“Not to mention a tease,” he continued as if I hadn’t spoken. “Foulmouthed, as well. Yep, you and I will get along famously.”

“Bollocks,” I said succintly.

"So, ah... look into my eyes."

Another strangled sound came from Vlad's direction.  Now Kira was sure it was a laugh.

She determined to ignore him.

Lewis obediently stared at her, and Kira tried to make her voice sound confident.  "You don't feel anything. You're not afraid."

"I am," came Vlad's immediate reply. "If you tell him wolves are the children of the night next, I might hurt myself laughing."


Eternal Kiss of Darkness, by Jeaniene Frost

Tomorrow will be the end of an era. A wonderful, funny, hot, joyful, intense, sexy, suspenseful, and sometimes heartbreakingly sad era. Tomorrow, the final novel of the Night Huntress series will be released, and we're having the fits... no I mean, we're doing the blitz... and today we're going to take a look at some of our favorite bits. There are so many absolutely brilliant scenes in this series, and way too many to list here, but we picked some of our very favorites to share with you. Scenes that have made us swoon, sigh, and gasp. Moments that have made us smile, laugh out loud, and tear up.

I had never officially reread the series, but when I was "researching" for this post I realized that I've read many chapters and scenes several times. It had been a while since I really committed my time to Cat and Bones, though. When I started refreshing my memory for this post, I got sucked into the books again, realizing how much I've missed Bones, Cat, and all…

“The lustful glances thrown his way made me wish he wasn’t such a damned bowl of eye candy."

WAKE UP, LUV.IT'S NEARLY NOON."

My lashes fluttered open to meet a pair of dark brown eyes.

Bones sat on the bed. Or the remains of it.

Lucidity returned with a vengeance. He laughed at the color that immediately scalded my face.

"And there is my payment, the rubies in your cheeks. Are you properly scandalized by your wicked behavior?

If you were Catholic, you'd singe the ears of the priest you confessed to. Do you remember making me swear to repeat all those naughty actions again, no matter what you said this morning?"

Now that he brought it up, I did recall saying that. Great. Betrayed by my own immorality.

"I'll take that as a compliment." He closed the distance between us. "I love you. Don't be ashamed of anything we did, even if your prudery is on life support."
