Romancing Mister Bridgerton (By Julia Quinn)

B o o k Q u o t e s

“I really did not want to leave my wife.” ~ COLIN

“Does it really matter so much?” he said softly. “Penelope, I love you. As long as we’re together, we’ll be happy.” ~ COLIN

“Penelope kissed him back with every ounce of her emotion, every last corner of her soul. She had years and years of love for this man, and what she lacked in technique, she made up in fervor. She clutched at his hair, writhed beneath him, unmindful of her own appearance.” ~ PENELOPE

“He’d known her for years, had never even thought about touching his lips to hers. And now he couldn’t have let her go if the fires of hell were licking his toes. He could barely believe what he was doing—or that he wanted to do it so damned much.” ~ COLIN

“She was beautiful. Utterly, completely, soul-stirringly beautiful. He didn’t know how he hadn’t noticed it all these years.” ~ COLIN

"The wedding had been magical. It was a small affair, much to the dismay of London society. And the wedding night—well, that had been magical, too.” ~ PENELOPE

"Congratulations, Lady Whistledown," he murmured.
"I prefer Mrs. Bridgerton," she replied.
He grinned. "Excellent choice." ~ PENELOPE & COLIN

"I love you with everything I am everything Ive been and everything I hope to be. I love you with my past and I love you for my future. I love you for the children we’ll have and for the years we’ll have together. I love you for every one of my smiles and more for every one of your smiles" ~ COLIN

“One week later, Penelope was sitting at the desk in her drawing room, reading Colin’s journals & making notes on a separate piece of paper whenever she had a question or comment. He had asked her to help him edit his writing, a task she found thrilling.” ~ PENELOPE

“A kiss,” he murmured, lowering his lips to hers again, although just for a fleeting moment, “is for two people.” ~ COLIN

“He took her face in his hands, gazing down at her as if she were the most wondrous creature ever to walk the earth.” ~ COLIN

“I don’t know. I don’t know when, I don’t know how, and to be honest, I don’t care. But I know this much is true: I love you, and I hate myself for not seeing the real you all these years.” ~ COLIN

“She was amazing. He didn’t know how he hadn’t realized it before, when he’d already known that she was smart and lovely and witty and resourceful. But all those adjectives, and a whole host more he hadn’t yet thought of, did not add up to the true measure of her.” ~ COLIN

“My God, I want you,” he gasped, grinding his hips down. “I want to strip you bare and sink into you and never let you go.” ~ COLIN

“I want you,” he whispered. I just wanted you to know that,” he said. “I didn’t want you to think I stopped because you didn’t please me.” ~ COLIN

“His love hadn’t been a thunderbolt from the sky. It had started with a smile, a word, a teasing glance. Every second he had spent in her presence it had grown, until he’d reached this moment, and he suddenly knew. He loved her.” ~ COLIN

“I want everyone to know how proud I am of you. By the time I’m through, there won’t be a single person in London who doesn’t recognize how clever you are.” ~ COLIN

“But no, she had to go and fall in love with Colin Bridgerton when he fell off a horse and landed on his bottom in a mud puddle. It was highly irregular, and highly unromantic, but there was a certain poetic justice in that, since nothing was ever going to come of it.” ~PENELOPE

“I want to see you sitting up,” he groaned, “so I can see them full and lovely and large. And then I want to crawl behind you and cup you.” His lips found her ear and his voice dropped to a whisper. “And I want to do it in front of a mirror.” ~ COLIN

“She’s lovely and intelligent and has a fine sense of humor. Who wouldn’t want to marry a woman like that?” ~ COLIN

"I wasn't surprised that I had fallen in love with her, but rather that it had taken so long. I've known her for so many years, you see, ad somehow I'd never taken the time to look inside, to see the beautiful, brilliant, witty woman she'd become. Therefore, with all of you here as my witnesses, I would like to say - Penelope - I love you. I adore you. I worship the ground you walk upon." ~ COLIN

"He supposed he should have deemed the evening a failure for that reason alone, but in all truth, he couldn't quite bring himself to do so. After all, he'd spent the better part of five minutes holding her hand." ~ COLIN

"For God's sake, Penelope. Are you going to marry me or not?" ~ COLIN

"Do I look a mess?" He nodded "But you're my mess." ~ COLIN

"He swept her into a passionate kiss, right there on the balcony in front of the entire ton." ~ COLIN

"This was Penelope, and this was love" ~ COLIN

"I couldn't ask for a better partner to go into this with."
