“Hunter just shakes his head with a sly smile. “Dude…I don’t even know who you are anymore. Where did my surly, gloom-and-doom brother go to?”
“He got laid last night,” Alyssa pipes up, and I practically choke on my own tongue.
Turning to her, I say, “You did not just say that out loud?”
She grins back at my coyly, shooting a glance at Hunter, who is now laughing his ass off.”

“And what is it about you and romance novels? Is it the happily ever after? Is it the man who's too good to be true? Because I assure you, we all have our flaws, even the fictional ones. But the happily ever after depends on what you put into it. The hard work, the listening instead of talking, the laughing instead of crying, the sticking it out instead of running away, the knowing that sometimes silence is best but having her wrapped in your arms can still solve a lot of problems. So, you can have you romance novels while I have my King and Follett and Patterson because I don't want to read about having that kind of love someday. I'd rather be over here trying to take a chance at it in real life.”
