"She spun around and had to tilt her head almost all the
way back to find the face above the enormous male chest that confronted her.
Under golden curls, bright blue eyes drilled down into Helen's.
It crossed her mind that he looked like a blond version of
Michelangelo's Adam on the Sistine Chapel ceiling, newly released from plaster and walking around in three gigantic dimensions."

"And just so you know, I'm not about to
apologize for making sure you don't get kidnapped by one of those batty
women running around the island"
““Hector!”
Helen was out front, jumping into Hector’s arms along with Kate, in about half a second.
Hector picked up both of them easily, one girl to an arm. Although it usually took Hector about five minutes to say something that annoyed the bejeezus out of Helen, when he smiled and held out his arms for a hug she forgot how
much of a pain in the ass he usually was. Hanging from Hector’s neck was like reaching up and hugging the sun—nothing but nurturing warmth and light.
“I could get used to this!” Hector chuckled, holding them both up in the air and squeezing them until they were breathless.

'"Because I've been trained to think tactically and find my opponents weaknesses since the day I was born."'
I have Starcrossed on my Kindle, but I haven't read it yet. It sounds like a fascinating concept with the whole Helen of Troy thing. Lovely quotes!
