Hi Stephanie,
Thanks so much for your comments and that you’ll buy the book. I hope you enjoy it.
I agree that men and women have different issues regarding cheating and it’s important to realize that. I don’t think it’s a good thing, just an interesting issue and one that can be explored.

Hi Suze,
Thanks for stopping by and commenting.
I agree, fiction needs to have some basis in reality, or at least be realistic, given the story and characters created by the author. I can believe in vampires and werewolves more than in some of the human characters I have seen in books, based on the author’s skills.

I dont think cheating is such an issue for me – a book purely about cheating wouldnt interest me (just as one about serial rapists wouldnt’t!) but whilst books are fiction, there has to be some reality for me to connect with and cheating happens. In romance we need a source of division to then have our conflict resolution and happy ending!
So yes, I can believe it as a reason for two people to get together again but the it has to fit into the whole story.

I don’t mind cheating if it brings two characters together, or back together in the case.. I think in reality, this type of cheating happens more than any other type (people cheating on spouses with exes.) And lets be honest, cheating is a fact of life. We are not made to be monogamous, especially men, which is probably why cheating is so prevalent in our society.
