I seem to be in a minority but I’m really glad not have every plot point and the ending clearly signalled. Writers who say “new hero” and HEA or whatever spoil half the reading pleasure for me. 
          
          This is an adult story, for adult readers, would we expect a physical book to give away the ending on its back cover? 

How many more chapters should we expect for Choices
          

Confession time…
          
          Living  inside Dylan and Catherine’s heads for the past few months has done things to me. I need a palate cleanser before I start side-eyeing every couple at the coffee shop.
          
          So I’m thinking about posting a casual side project. No schedule. No pressure. Just something I write when the main story needs me to breathe. This will not delay Choice or Storm. The Brennans come first. Always.
          
          Two options. You pick.
          
          POLENTA CHIPS — A love story. London. A Norwegian chef meets an American woman at a Killers concert. He makes a very good potato gratin. She has strong opinions about fries. I have absolutely no idea where this is going. No outline. No architecture. No plan. Just two people and a city and whatever happens next. You would be reading me write without a safety net for the first time and honestly that terrifies me more than Dylan’s comment section.
          
          THE BRENNANS: UNCOMPLICATED — Short stories from the Brennan family. No plot. No drama. No affairs. Just who these people are when nothing is breaking. The warm stuff. The stuff I write when I need to remember that this family is more than the worst thing that happens to them.
          
          Vote in the comments. Or don’t. Either way I’ll go water my plants for now. <3

I’m loving the book I look for updates every day but I wanted to ask is he going to end up with the mistress

Hi @byaprilwinters, I really enjoy your writing style, but I’ve noticed in your replies to people like @AndreaSalasGarza and @Caressab that you mention the story is meant to feel like 'real people' in the 'grey.'
          
          To be honest, it feels like you're avoiding a clear answer on whether the cheaters get a Happily Ever After. For those of us who love this genre, seeing a cheater get redemption without even asking for it or earning it just rubs us the wrong way. We’d really appreciate a clear-cut answer: is there a traditional second-chance arc where the hero actually earns his place, or is this a story where the affair partners are the endgame? It helps to know the direction before we invest more time in the journey.

The comment section today reminded me why I write. Thank you for reading this passionately. It matters more than you know. <3

Hi - since there is no HEA or HFN and since the story doesn’t build toward a clear outcome or resolution and I find myself wanting a clearer conclusion, so I’m curious, what experience were you hoping we would have instead of that sense of closure? What do you see as the central purpose or payoff for this book to us as readers?

Maybe these book is for like cheaters I don't know the author is somewhat trying to state that cheaters can also have stable and steady life like 2-3months affair they are have familiar touch cudding instead of having trill excited sex ,means are you trying to justify 
          

Ok; am I understanding how the sequence is going.  So Choice is husband having midlife crisis and making choices like having an affair instead of making his wife a top priority!  Like seriously he couldn't meet her for at least 4 days when she was vacation but went away with OW for 4 days.   There will be no definitive ending in the choice of HEA or HFN.  Book 2 STorm is Wife POV in different stages of their marriage.  Will there be a book 3  where is it's both wife and husband POV and what happens after the affair?  

Love this! Great job
