Lynn’s Quote:
“Once upon a time, an undeserving boy pulled a little half-drowned, wannabe mermaid out of the ocean. He laid her on the sand, thinking his heart would break if she didn’t wake up. The moment she opened her big dark eyes and looked at him, his heart wasn’t his anymore. After that moment, his life’s quest wasn’t a matter of searching for his other half, because he knew right where she was. His mission was waiting for her to know he’d left his heart in her hand that day on the beach and hoping that someday it would bring her back to him”
–Boyce to Pearl
(Sweet (Contours of the Heart #3) by: Tammara Webber)
I like this quote because this is the part of Sweet where
I seem to always have a twig in my eye while reading Ms. Webber’s books. Boyce and Pearl have spent their lives dancing around each other, ignoring their feelings. But eventually figure everything out. And it is very Sweet.

Oh my goodness. That quote made me tear up, Lynn. Okay – Easy *will* be read before summer’s end – just so I can eventually get to Sweet. 🙂

lol, Brandee. Sorry about the twig in your eye!
Love the mention of a wannabe mermaid! And aren’t those nasty branches annoying when they get in our eyes? 😉

Very annoying, Terri.
That’s awesome! A little sarcastic, wannabe mermaid, but super sweet!

Omg! I seriously just finished reading Sweet and loved it! I recognized that quote immediately! In fact, I had another quote in mind for a future TWHST 😉 Great pick for this week. ~ Bel
Thanks, Bel! There were quite a few good quotes in Sweet!
Very romantic. I hadn’t heard of that book before either.

Thanks, Nikki.
Oh! I didn’t know that Sweet was already out! I have to read this one because I LOVED the other two books. Boyce does sound so sweet, can’t wait to meet him (though I don’t think he will be able to surpass Lucas <3).

Yeah, Melissa. There aren’t too many boys who can surpass Lucas! But Boyce comes pretty darn close!
