Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts #154
Welcome to Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts, an original weekly meme hosted here at (un)Conventional Bookworms. So many of the books we read have food or drinks in them, some we’d love to try, and others we’d never ever want to taste… and we thought it could be interesting and fun to share some food and / or drink quotes… If you want to participate, you can grab our logo if you’d like, or you can make your own, but please link back to us in your own post.
The idea of Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts is to share a quote with food or drinks that showed up in a recent read, as well as if it’s something you think you’d like or not. Please share the title of the book it happened in, as well as the character who ate or drank the special little something you discovered between the pages of a good read. Please link up beneath, and visit other bloggers who are participating in Thirsty Thursday and Hungry Hearts as well.
Today’s quote is from The Gamble by Kristen Ashley – which I recently re-read for, um, the 3rd time. It was just as good this time around. 🙂
He was eating an onion ring while he slid out of the booth.
“I see you didn’t wait for me,” I noted, my eyes on his chewing mouth; then I slid into the booth.
“I ate a ring, Duchess, relax,” he returned as he sat in the booth beside me.
“Whatever,” I muttered, and looked at my food of which there was a lot. The burger itself could feed four people. All of it was in a red, oval, plastic basket protected by a sheet of thin, white was paper.
It looked utterly delicious.
I reached for the ketchup.
“Got burgers in England?” Max asked.
“Yes,” I answered, squirting ketchup in a pile by the onion rings and not sharing with him that English burgers were not much to write home about.
“Buffalo burgers?”
“At gourmet burger places, yes,” I answered, dipping in a ring.
“Babe?” Max called, and I looked at him, onion ring halfway to my mouth. “Prepare to be dazzled,” he finished on a grin, then turned to his food.

Oh my gosh, wifey! I love The Gamble too 🙂 And I love the quote you chose to share today 🙂 Miss you!!
Yay! I’m glad you loved the quote – the Colorado Mountain series is so great! And The Gamble is a favorite of mine. 🙂
Miss you, too! <3
OMG, the header!! I love it!
One of these days, I will get around to reading a KA book!
Thank you, Nick, we do, too! And you should SO read a KA book! Some of her alpha-men are a little too much, but I just love her humor and the suspense 🙂 Plus, the romance is always very hot 😉
Thanks, Nick! We love the header too. My older daughter drew us and then Silvia worked her magic!
You *must* read a KA book, girl. I think you’ll love her. 🙂
Eek! I love the new header. It looks great! 😀 Also great quote! I could use a burger right now. 😛
Thank you Stephanie!
I think I could always use a burger 😉
Thank you, Stephanie. My older daughter drew us and then Silvia worked her magic! We love it too.
Glad you enjoyed the quote. A burger and onion rings sounds good, doesn’t it?
I would not turn down an onion ring right now. lol
Onion rings are SO good! I want some, too, Anna!
