I’m a big fan of romance movies, and Hallmark’s theme for February is one of my favorites–LOVEuary. I love, love. I love all things romantic from books, movies, dates, songs, and most importantly…books. I am a romance writer, after all.
My family often catches me watching movies with a smile on my face. I know it’s good when it hits me in my feels, and my outward expression shows it. But it’s not only movies where I get in my feels. I get them when reading a good book, too. The pitter-patter of my heart, the dreamy setting, and the connection of the characters are all things that make (or break) a romance movie or book.
Since this week is Valentine’s Day, I thought it would be fun to share some of my favorite love quotes from my books and a few of my fellow author friends.
These are some of my favorite love quotes from my books:
“When I thought I would never find someone that could see past my exterior, love had already won.” —A Half Made Whole
“I take her hand and place it on my chest, just over my heart, covering it with my own. “In case you haven’t noticed yet, you’re in here. I couldn’t get you out, even if I wanted to try.”—When I Found You
“When I least expected it, love came from out of nowhere, Now that it’s sitting beside me in human form, I never want to let him go.”—One She Never Expected
“This is my happy place. Here, with the man I love, and I hope and pray God sees fit for us to share many more sunsets together in the years to come.” —Waiting for Right Now
Here are some wonderful love quotes from some of my author friends:
“Love can’t heal a multitude of sin and hate, my dear. Only Christ can do that. But love sure can help soothe the hurt.” —Someone Found by Teresa Tysinger
“I love you more than I love breathing. I don’t need air. I need you. My love is unconditional. You need to accept that. I’m not going anywhere.” —Better Together by Mandi Blake
“You have my heart. All of it. I’d give it to you over and over again. Every time. I love you.” —Almost Everything by Mandi Blake
“The deck’s been stacked against you your whole life, but you’ve made something of yourself—Christ is making something beautiful of you. Surefire failure isn’t your hallmark. The surefire love of God is.” —A Surefire Love by Emily Conrad
Have you read any of these books? What’s your favorite thing about Love Month?
Lori R says
I have read both of Mandi Blake’s books and loved them. I need to read the other books!
K Leah says
I always enjoy Mandi’s books! The others are wonderful too.
Trudy says
I’ve read both of Mandi’s books, as I’ve read all of her books. I really don’t have a favorite thing about February. I’m just happy we’re having cooler weather, and not so many days at 80 or higher this year!!
K Leah says
Seems like I remember you are opposite seasons from us in the US. For the most part we’ve had a mild winter in North Carolina. I’m still ready for summer… haha! Winter is my least favorite season.
RuthieH says
I don’t think I’ve read any of those books, but I have read all the writers you’ve quoted. They are great quotes, I will have to add those titles to my tbr list!
I agree about loving romance movies and books, sometimes when there are so many sad things in the world and on the newsthey bring some much needed happiness.
K Leah says
Oh yay!! I’m glad you found some new books. They are all great reads.
Ausjenny says
Haven’t read any of the books but best thing about Feb is my birthday! Today we are dong a morning tea fundraiser and I have to admit I will be glad when its over. I am so tired (had a few very hot days and a hot night last night). We have also had a few things not go as planned although we have fixed them.
Tomorrow Vallentine day will be just a normal day (excpet another early start with dr appointments). But this year I turn 60 and am trying to work out what to do. Most of my good friends don’t live where I do so will jsut be a few people to go to lunch somewhere. (I wish I could do something more I wish I had a car and could go somewhere but will do what I can) I dream of one day going to Hawaii for my birthday.
Alicia Haney says
Unfortunately I have not read any of these books, but I will be adding them to my TBR as they all sound like Great reads! Have a Very Happy Valentines Day!
Trudy says
I’m in Florida!!!
Debra Pruss says
No. I have not read any of these books. I guess I do not fall into a fan of having a month of love. I feel like love should be celebrated all year long. The Lord paid the ultimate price by giving up his life for us out of love. Thank you so much for sharing. God bless you.
K Leah says
Happy Birthday! Hopefully your dream to go to Hawaii will come true one year!
K Leah says
Glad you can add some books to your TBR!
K Leah says
Yes! The love of Christ is something to be celebrated year-long.
Ausjenny says
Thanks. I love Hawaii and would love to go back at some stage maybe for my 70th.
after todays morning tea one of the other members brought me home and she is going to make me a black forrest cake. I just need to book the venue (local hotel). And do the inviting. Now that today is over with I can concentrate on my own stuff for a bit
