Hey there!
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 Blurb
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.

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!
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.
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.
