Teaser Tuesdays: Heartless

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

Grab your current read
Open to a random page
Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

"'Now, Alexia, my dearest, be reasonable.' Her husband was trying to wheedle. He wasn't very good at it--wheedling looked odd on a man of his proportions and monthly inclinations." 

"'Reasonable? Go boil your head in reasonable!'"
