Did not expect to love this one so much.
I'm not into romances where one partner or the other is cheating. However, I was craving angst and I heard that the husband, despite his cheating, is shown to still deeply love and want his wife. And yes he does.
Knowing that the hero cheats isn't a spoiler. The character and the reader find out chapter 1, page one that he's cheating. What's "fun" is reading the fallout and everything that happens after she finds out.
There were moments where I didn't like Jack, obviously with him cheating, I don't think I'm supposed to love him but I still liked him and it was clear that he loves his wife deeply and the sex with other women wasn't about not loving her. However there weren't many moments where I felt he was sorry for what he was did.
However I want Jess to have at least one night with Cameron. I want Jack to work to get back. Really work for it, not seduce her into complying.
I was so sad to find out that book 2 isn't going to be out until Dec. 24, I need the second book and then the third right now. The ending! I have to wait a month and a half to find out what happens. I may be ignoring my family a bit on Christmas Eve and Christmas just to read book 2.

I am hoping, that it wasn't really Jack with Alex when Jess and her friends caught him. I know at the end of the chapter, it was stated that it was Jack but I just want him to not be a complete jerk. For the last couple months (I think) she and Jack had been working on being together again, working past the cheating, and I feel it's slap in the face to Jess to go to Alex that night after everything. It just added the extra bit of humiliation to her feelings. I hope it was just someone who looked like him in the shadows and at that distance. It doesn't look good for that being a possibility with him lying about where he was going and who was going to be with that night but I have some hope.However I want Jess to have at least one night with Cameron.
