I tried my best to get into this story, but the relentlessly unusual language was such a distraction that I gave up. I love lyric prose, but not at the expense of story.

Quotes by Jennifer Blake

“Dear God, you are beautiful. I tried to forget, to pretend I did not need you, but it was no use. You haunt my waking hours and my dreams, and though I know if I stay with you my soul my soul will be lost and my life damned, I cannot stay away, nor can I put you from me. So come and let me drown in your bewitching angel’s eyes. Some things bought dearly are worth the price.”
― Jennifer Blake, Tender Betrayal

“Moistening her lips, she asked, "That's what this is all about? Bringing me here?"

His hesitation was so slight she almost missed it. "It could be. Probably is, after all."

"You still want to seduce me."

"I want whatever you can give me," he murmured against her ear. "Where we go from here may depend on what I can give you.”
― Jennifer Blake, Luke
