Favorite quotes from For Everly
(Part 2)
Quote 5: One of
my favorite scenes takes place in Cole’s pool during an adult version of Marco
Polo. If Cole catches Everly, she owes him a kiss. That doesn’t mean she has to
give in easily, though.
“Was that a squeal, Ms.
Wallace?” he asked, reeling her in until they were once again next to each
other. He turned her so the water remained only as high as her chest.
“I don’t squeal,” she
huffed. She wanted to laugh, but was afraid it would reflect her nervousness.
“I might have issued a feminine sound
of protest.”
Quote 6: My next favorite quote exchange is in the form of a series
of flirtatious texts exchanged by Everly and Cole. Everly hasn’t had much
experience with guys, and this is the point where she starts to come out of her
shell.
She texted him as she
walked out to her car. Headed home. Think
your kiss got me a job.
Got u a job as what??
Use your imagination.
Been doing that all day.
Quote 7: This was one of my favorite awkward/LOL moments in the book.
It takes place after a photo shoot that went in a different direction than I’d
initially envisioned.
A loud knock on the door
made Cole jerk just as Everly leaned down with the thought of kissing him again.
He cracked her right in the nose.
“Ow!” She brought a hand
up to her face and blinked back tears of pain.
“No sex in the dressing
rooms,” a female voice ordered.
“Oh, God—I’m so sorry!”
Cole said to Everly. He tried to see what kind of damage he’d done.
“It happens all the
time,” the person on the other side of the door replied. “You can keep the
underwear, by the way.”
Quote 8: This is probably my favorite quote of Cole’s. It shows two
sides of his character: tenderness and fierce protectiveness.
“Everly Wallace,” he
said. “You’re the strongest person I’ve ever met. I understand why you don’t
talk about your past with just anyone, and I can’t tell you how much it means
that you shared it with me. I’m awed by the courage you’ve shown in overcoming
such tragedy. I’m saddened by all that you’ve lost. And I’m proud of all that
you’ve accomplished.
“But you should know
that if I ever see your father again, I’m going to rip out his goddamn throat.”

Description:
Determined
to overcome a dark and tragic past, college student Everly Wallace is only
months away from earning her degree in physical therapy. She’s consumed with
school,
caring for her ailing grandfather, and figuring out how to pay the next bill.
The last thing she wants is a relationship, but it just might be the one thing
she needs.
Major League pitcher Cole Parker hasn’t
fought for anything in his life. He went from a privileged upbringing to a
multimillion dollar All-Star career. But when his pitching shoulder starts to
give him trouble at only twenty-four years old, he faces the possibility of his
injury becoming public knowledge and costing him everything.
In a desperate bid to save his career, Cole decides to hire someone to treat his injury, someone
who will keep things off the record and out of the media. He finds the perfect
solution in Everly. As mysterious as she is beautiful, she provides an enticing
distraction from his pain. Soon, physical therapy is the last thing on his
mind.
When
an act of betrayal brings the truths they both fear to light, Cole will have to
fight for the first time in his life…not just for his career, but for Everly’s
love.
