Quotes - Johnny and Meg

Image and video hosting by TinyPic Johnny and Meg are my favorite characters of the Paige Toon books at the moment (that changes all the time ;)).

Here are some quotes I took out of the books, first up Johnny Be Good:



„I trace my fingertips acress my tummy and whisper, ’That’s Mummy’s song.`“ - Meg

„That’s how long I’ll wait for you. But no longer, Nutmeg. After that, I’m letting you go.“ – Johnny

„He takes another step, pressing my hand hard into his chest. I freeze, barley able to breathe. And then he’s kissing me. My willpower is shot. I kiss him back.“ – Meg

„I’m addicted to him. And no rehab centre in the world is going to be able to cure me.“ – Meg


„I feel like his clear green eyes are infiltrating me, and I sit there for a moment, just studying them. His lips are perfectly shaped, not too thin, not too full. Oh God, I fancy him. I still do. Even though he’s a total bastard to women. I just can’t help it.“ – Meg


Baby be Mine:

„That was the first time I felt a spark between us that wasn't one-sided." - Meg


„He’s not mine is he? That’s the question I fear the most.“ – Meg

„I love you. I never want to be without you. I never want to spend another day, another minute, without you and Barney by my side. I’ve been thinking about doing this for a long time. Meg Stiles ... Will you marry me?“ – Johnny


„I was the one to change him. He fell for me. He loves me. And I love him right back. I’ll love him till the day I die.“ – Meg


„I wrote this song fort he love of my life. The mother of my son. She’s here tonight.“ – Johnny


„He looks backstage at me, and I stand stock-still in shock as he starts to sing my song. His voice fills up the marquee, deep and soulful as he closes his eyes, and when he turns and stares at me again, I feel like he’s piercing my soul. I don’t have the srenght to resist him anymore.“ – Meg

„I giggle as I allow him to wrap his arms around me and hold me tight. It feels so right to be close to him. I’ve missed him.“ – Meg

„I usher him towards Johnny. ’Give Daddy a cuddle.`“ - Meg

„You just called me Daddy.“ – Johnny


„Daddy will see you soon.“ – Johnny

„I’m glad you’re happy. You deserve it.“ – Johnny

„He looks stunned, like I’ve just punched him in the face. And if the similarity between him and Barney isn’t already clear enough, the look on my face will have instantly confirmed his suspicion.“ – Meg

„He’s mine, isn’t he?“ – Johnny

„That bastard might have fucked you, but I raised him and YOU’RE NOT TAKING HIM AWAY!“ – Christian

„My little blond-haired, green-eyed boy glances at his biological father and then looks at me and grins a toothy grin.“ – Meg


Johnny's Girl:

„You are a part of me. And now, you will always be a part of me.“ – Johnny

„I love being married to you.“ – Meg

„You make me so happy.“ - Johnny

„It was always you, you know it was always you.“ – Meg

„He still gives me butterflies.“ – Meg

„The happiest I’ve ever been.“ – Meg

„I love you. I love you so much. I don’t want anything to come between us.“ – Meg

„Nothing is going to break us now. We’re too strong. I would never do anything to risk hurting you, Barney or Phoenix. You guys are my life.“ – Johnny

„I’m about to go and say hi to Joseph Strike, so get your arse here ASAP.“ – Meg

„Alice. My girl. We’re engaged.“ – Joe

„I love and fancy Johnny like mad, but Joseph Strike will always have something about him. Alice is my lucky girl, whoever she is.“ – Meg

„Don’t you feel sorry for yourself! I should have known this was going to happen when I married you!“ – Meg

„But you did marry me! For better or for worse!“ – Johnny

„She looks just like her dad.“ – Meg

„I’m sorry I’ve been so distant, but we will get through this.“ – Meg

„His wedding speech was beautifully heartfelt and made everyone cry, including me.“ – Meg

„We’re going to be okay. Of course we’re going to be okay. I’ll always love you, Johnny. I always have and I always will.“ – Meg

„I know without a shadow of a doubt, that despite his flaws, despite his past, Johnny is worth fighting for. And I swear to myself that I’ll never let anyone come between us, whoever they are.“ – Meg

„Jeez! You’re making me want to take you on the grass again.“ –Johnny


„She looks like a wannabe rock star. She looks like trouble.“ - Meg


„He’s a much stronger man these days, Mrs Jefferson.“ - Davey

Johnny's Girl - by Paige Toon


Original Cover
My own copy

The blurb:

Meg's life has taken a turn for the perfect. She is the envy of millions with her drop dead gorgeous husband, their two beautiful sons and her new mansion in Henley. Her celebrity PA days are over. But desperate to keep up with her rock star husband, Johnny Jefferson, she uproots her perfect family and moves back to LA.
Meg has to learn to live with her new celebrity status and the insecurities of her old life, which keep reappearing. Under the paparazzi flash of an A-List party, complete with red carpet, champagne and canapés, Johnny's rock star past catches up with him and Meg's worst nightmare becomes a reality…

My Opinion:

„You are a part of me. And now, you will always be a part of me.“ – Johnny

„I know without a shadow of a doubt, that despite his flaws, despite his past, Johnny is worth fighting for. And I swear to myself that I’ll never let anyone come between us, whoever they are.“ – Meg

Johnny and Meg are just awesome and perfect together. Their chemistry in the beginning of the book is great and it really comes through to the reader.
And their children, so adorable
It’s great that they went back to Big Sur, love that place and when they talk about their time back there, so funny.

Johnny convinces Meg to move back to LA and of course he gets what he wants.

We can read about Kitty again, which is great and she’s found herself a guy.

At party after a premiere Meg sees Joseph Strike again ;) and he is with his girl now and they’re engaged =)

Then Johnny comes and he has news... News about his daugther, news about Jessie.

Meg is really shocked, but after a while she tries to help Johnny and the love between them is just so deep. I’m sure they will get through this.

And they way Bess (her best friend) is cheering her up, is just awesome. Here is the link to the YouTube video of the Wedding Speech: Tom Fletcher's Wedding Speech

I was really impressed with Johnny about the non smoking and the non drinking thing. Well, let’s hope he is keeping it that way.

I hope that they still can have their holidays on the private island, but I sense trouble.

The moment Jessie arrives is the perfect end of the story, because it really makes you want to read about Jessie now.

I really love the Meg and Johnny scenes and they’re dialogues or whatever they to. It’s a beautiful story, but way too short. Can’t wait for the Accidental Life of Jessie Jefferson =) Jessie sounds like trouble and she will probably turn their world upside down, at least for a while.
Loved it from start to finish, Paige’s writing is absolutely brilliant and she really understand to convey the emotions of the characters. ♥♥♥
