Karen Hawkins, The Taming of a Scottish Princess“No woman worth her salt would listen to a proposal without the word ‘love’ in it.”
Karen Hawkins, How to Capture a Countess“Men think they like to be challenged. The truth is, they only like to be challenged if they win.”
Karen Hawkins, How to Capture a Countess“It was a chaste kiss, but as her lips brushed his warm cheek, her eyes met his. They were deep and dark, warm with passion and longing. And somehow she knew, without question, what he thought. What he felt. Time held its breath - and in that moment, looking into Buchan's warm, tormented gaze, Tatiana's heart awoke.”
Karen Hawkins, The Princess Wore Plaid“He slipped his tongue between her lips and thrust it wantonly inside her mouth over and over, echoing the enticing move of his hips against hers. She clutched him closer, reveling in the feel of him, and the fact that she'd made him moan for her, whisper her name over and over, beg her without words for more. To kiss him more. To touch him more.”

Karen Hawkins, The Princess Wore Plaid“With a hoarse moan, he swept her against him, kissing her wildly, passionately, his mouth promising and teasing, as if her kiss had broken the dam that had held back his passion.”
