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
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.
