There is something exhilarating about the way Bertrice Small tells a story. I enjoyed this when I first read it, and fell in love all over again listening to the audiobook.
I found the character of Patrick to be the definition of a deplorable, womanizing hypocrite! While cheating on Cat every chance he got, he rails against Cat even so much as innocently looking at, or speaking to, another man. What frustrated me the most, though, is at the end when he calls Cat a whore for marrying Bothwell and then, shortly thereafter, gloats to his own son about his 18-year-old whore/mistress waiting for him in another country and whom he has been seeing during his 5-year absence. This man, who claims to love his wife so much and apparently is saddened to know they are officially - finally - over, had spent 5-years living the life of a bachelor (aka womanizing) while his wife and children believed he was dead! No note of reassurance, no haste to get home... Truly, this man is deplorable!
