Quotes edit see section history

• “If you're looking for a guy to close the deal, I'd steer clear of the slots," he offered, totally deadpan. "Nothing says compensation issues like a man clinging too closely to a twelve-inch rod of metal.”

  Connor Reed

• “With women like Tina and Jodie, I'm thinking not saying anything at all would be as effective as telling them what a stallion I am—which, incidentally, is one hundred percent accurate. Leave them to stew in their curiosity. Speculate to their hearts' content. And give them nothing.”

  Connor Reed

• “I love it when you say my name right.”

  Connor Reed

• “Hell, people see what they want to and make assumptions based on what they expect. I'd rather they assume we're in love than suggest something less flattering.”

  Connor Reed

• “Ask yourself this, Connor—what is it that's got your manties in such a twist?”

  Jeff Norton
