What are the most exciting quotes from your favourite characters? The single moments that sealed them a place as your most loved MCs?

Here's my favourite quote that left me squealing from my top 5 favourite MMCs. The quotes are in order, but I don't know if I could rank the MMCs.

1. Gabriel, Lord St Vincent. Devil in Spring. >!Youre not worried about principles. You're worried you might do something naughty with me and like it!<

2. Colin, Lord Payne. A week to be wicked. >!What if I told you everything's changed? That in the past four and twenty hours I've wanted to murder three different men just for daring to touch you - one of them a duke. That I am desperate with longing, consumed with wanting you. As I've wanted no other woman in my debauched, misspent life!< honourable mention here to when >!he tells people they're from the circus and she's a first rate sword swallower!< which didn't make me squeal but rather burst out laughing so loud I woke up my 1 year old.

3. Raven Radford. Dukes Prefer Blondes >!That was firstly and secondly, this is thirdly!< Not a wild quote out of context, but IYKYK!

4. Sebastian, Lord St Vincent. Devil in Winter. >!You said I could kiss you. But my love, you didn't say where!< This was a tough one as I realised most of my favourite Sebastian moments are actions or descriptions, rather than direct quotes from him. But he still has many great quotes!

5. Alexander Moncrieffe, Duke of Falconbridge. What I did for a Duke >!You might consider being a little afraid. Because after we've made love, you might find that you can't live without me!<

I cannot count how many times I've watched this show, but I'm still noticing new jokes.

I don't know how I missed this one though.

In 'Kidney Now!', after Tracy is crying about how he couldn't dissect the frog named baby, because he was a chicken, Alan Alda/Milton Green says 'a guy crying about a chicken and a baby? I thought this was a comedy show...'

It's so clear that I've no idea how I ever missed it, I can only assume that the first time I watched the show closely I hadn't seen the infamous MASH episode... But holy shit what a reference.

What jokes did you only get on your 100th rewatch?

So thank you to this sub for that recommendation, I finished it about a week ago and absolutely loved it. But I'm having that sad feeling like, will any other book ever be as good? Lol.

So I started reading the Ravenels series, but I had no idea there was more of Sebastian and Evie in them. When I started Devil in Spring and realised it was them in the prologue, I lost my mind. It's hilarious how I enjoyed Gabriel and Pandoras story, but I was freaking out even more any time Sebastian and Evie were there. All the scenes with them were incredible!

Starting Devil's daughter now, because I need a fix of them again and I'm hoping to get more..!

What book did you read and think 'well this is it, nothing will ever be as good as this one!'

So I've only recently gotten into HR and I'm loving it, but found that I really prefer a specific few tropes and wondered if anyone had any recommendations. I'm enjoying reading lots of different books, but thought I'd see if I'm missing out on

So my 2 absolute favourites so far are 'A week to be Wicked' by Tessa Dare and 'What I did for a Duke' by Julie-Anne Long. Mainly, these have both my favourite MMCs and FMCs.

So there's some spoilers below on the themes of those 2 books.

I love that the both Moncrieffe and Colin are super charming and charismatic, very confident, but suddenly totally undone by the smart, sassy FMC, and they both fall hard and early. I also love that Genevieve and Minerva are clever and witty and fully able to challenge the MMC, but haven't really experienced real love or passion before. This combo obviously leads to some great spice, but also very emotionally satisfying.

I know this is pretty specific but thought I'd see if anyone had any suggestions of good books like this!
