“I had to face it - there were warning signs I chose to ignore when I first fell in love with him”
Holly Peterson

“Sometimes sexy women like to act stupid because it helps them get exactly what they want. Theresa Boudreaux was one of those types: a bodacious waffle-house waitress with a devilish streak. Unfortunately for a certain high-ranking elected leader, she had the wits to go to RadioShack and buy herself a nine-dollar phone-recording device. She then used it to tape her dirty phone calls with US Congressman Huey Hartley, a powerful, sanctimonious, married-for-thirty-years politician from the solidly red state of Mississippi.”
Holly Peterson

“They radiated that orgasm-free lifestyle so unique and universal among Seabrook women.”
Holly Peterson, It Happens in the Hamptons
