Summary

Jenna Valentino thought she had found her forever after. Life was good. A husband she loved, a daughter she adored, a dream job and a beautiful home. But nothing could prepare her for the bittersweet taste of betrayal, shattering the illusion. Devastated. She wants more to do with love, but then love presents itself when you least expect or want it and in this case, it arrived in the form of her husband's brother, the black sheep of the Valentino family. Can she move past the betrayal and bitterness to take a bite from the forbidden fruit and love again? ❤️ Note: This was one of my very first stories. it dives into the realms of steamy but a little more on the sweeter side than my other books, which honestly my later or more recent books just feed my depraved little mind. Enjoy!

Harsh Truths

~ ~ Gabriele ~ ~

The sad fact of the matter is there’s a fifty percent chance that your marriage will be a success—that’s a fifty percent chance that you’ll get your Happily Ever After.

Doesn’t it just leave you with a bittersweet taste in your mouth?

And that leads me to a question. Who dreamt up the crazy phrase Happily Ever After?

It implies that you’re going to be happy forever, and that’s how it’s supposed to be—Right?

And it doesn’t stop there. Before we’re old enough to understand—Our heads are filled with fairy tales, hopes, and dreams. It’s rammed down our throats from the moment we can walk, talk from books, movies, and all those teen magazines. Hell, even our parents!

You know the ones.

Love at first sight...

Or my favourite...Boy meets girl. They fall in love and live Happily Ever After!

Yeah, no doubt you’ve heard all that BS—and believed it?

Well, real life ain’t like that.

Real-life teases you with the Happy Ever After fantasy and then viciously rips out your beating heart, crushing it underfoot—before sprinting in the opposite direction... and in her case, the heart-crusher, destroyer of dreams and hopes was her husband, my brother.

So there you have it, the harsh truth and I’d always been realistic - but what if there could be a Happy Ever After?

And for the first time in my life, I wanted to believe—I wanted her.

@ChrissyVellis I wanted to add your name to the above comment but unfortunately couldn't figure out how to. so again I want to thank you for your "depraved little mind" and obsession for MMF stories. I have really started to enjoy reading books with mmf characters and you are amazing at writing HOT scenes and showing how that sort of relationship can be just as beautiful of a love story as any other relationship!

I honestly did not love Dev, he had no character growth and no arc I just didnt like who he is as a person and that made it hard to keep going about half way through. Without Jaspers ...
