I'm so excited to be starting these posts! These ladies have some funny pickup lines and Michelle lives in Florida near me. How cool is that!?
Hey there!
This blog is dedicated to every
wannabe smooth-talker.
My name is Jodi Linton. I’m the
author of the Deputy Laney Briggs Series and my upcoming The Original Sinners
Motorcycle Club Series with Entangled Publishing. I’ve lived in Texas my entire
life. And no, I’m not married to a ‘real’ cowboy. But I do share my suburbia
home with a teacher who has a hobby moonlighting as a drummer.
Today I want to talk about horrible
pick-up lines. You know, the ones that make you cringe with their seediness.
I’ve weathered my fair share of creepy one-liners, and while I’m like,
“Get the hell away from me!” at the time, they can be quite hilarious in
retrospect.
So when it came to needing a line for
this blog post, I asked a fellow author friend about the worst pick-up line
ever used on her, and hers beat any of mine hands down. Her lovely
boyfriend shot off this heart-stopper when they first met: “Hey, baby. You got
five minutes to regret?” I’ve gotta say it is pretty good, and yeah,
maybe back in the day when my husband was trying every play in the book to snag
a date with me this one would’ve made me laugh. And it probably would have made
me say, “Buy me a drink, and then we’ll see about the next five minutes.”
Tell me. What’s some of your favorite
worst pick-up lines ever?
Bye for now, y’all,
Jodi Linton

Pretty Lawless
She's about
to go vigilante on his ass...
Laney Briggs was almost certain that
her sexy-assed Texas Ranger, Gunner Wilson, was gonna pop the question.
Instead, he went and pulled one helluva fast one—he arrested her best friend,
Luke Wagner and skipped out. Now Pistol Rock's firecracker deputy is ready to
go Wild West on Gunner...if she can just keep that raw, sexual chemistry under
control.
Gunner was planning to propose, and
it all went to hell. Now he's boots-deep into an investigation with ties to the
Dirty Southern Mafia and corrupt cops. Yep, Laney is definitely gonna have his
hide. Especially when she finds out just how much he's been keeping from her...
But Laney has a weakness for Gunner's
delectable cowboy hotness. And for him, she will break every rule in the
book—including the ones she's sworn to uphold.

PICK UP LINES POST by Michelle Madow
As I’m sure
a lot of you know, the most recent trend in online dating is an app called
Tinder. A few months ago, a friend convinced me to give it a try. I did –
because why not? It’s free, and since technology is such a big part of our
lives in this day and age, online dating has lost a lot of the stigma that it
had a few years ago.
For those of
you who haven’t heard anything about Tinder, here’s a brief summary about how
it works:
-
You make a brief profile with 1-5 pictures and a
few lines about yourself.
-
It’s connected to Facebook, which creates trust
that the people you’re talking to are real.
-
If you think a person is hot, you swipe right on
their picture. If they’re not your type, you swipe left.
-
A chat box will be available only if both people
have swiped right to each other. (This way, you’re not bombarded with messages
from people who aren’t your type.)
Once the
chat box is available, both people are mutually attracted to each other! Yay!
Now … it’s time for the inevitable pick up line. I have gotten a lot of terrible ones. So I hope you
enjoy this collection of terrible pick up lines (and my responses) that I
received on Tinder!
(I attached
the images of the pickup lines to the email.)
For the
record, I’m not on Tinder right now. Occasionally (once every few weeks), I’ll
go on the app hoping for a miracle, but I give up after a few hours, when I
receive an onslaught of cheesy pickup lines and am reminded about why I stopped
using the app in the first place.
CURRENT RELEASE: DIAMONDS IN THE ROUGH
All-access
doesn't mean no problems.
The three
Diamond sisters survived the summer in style after coming to live with their
long-lost billionaire father. But making a place for themselves at their
exclusive new Las Vegas private school is throwing them any number of
gold-plated curves. Savannah's YouTube stardom turns into a Sweet Sixteen
reality show extravaganza—with complimentary enemies on the side. Dangerous
flirtations don't keep Peyton from a gamble that will risk far more than she
planned to bet. And when Courtney and the sisters' archenemy, Madison, uncover
two explosive secrets, it will rock even this town of glittering illusion—and
turn their lives upside down all over again.
Sisterhood,
first crushes, and scandalous secrets explode in book two of Michelle Madow's
riveting series, The Secret Diamond Sisters.
