serialromancelibrarian 's review for:
The Marriage Bed
by Laura Lee Guhrke
*** Book Q & A***
* How did the book make you feel?: I felt like the H got off the hook too easily and that he was never truly remorseful.
* How do you feel about how the story was told?: This was a very entertaining and maddening read. The plot moved swiftly and it held my attention.
* What did you think about the main characters?: The H was truly a cad. He even told the h that his fidelity was contingent on the h pleasing him. He never really apologized to her and even partly blamed her for his own actions. He did apologize to one of his many OW when she foisted his bastard son off on him. I liked the h a lot and I thought she was very pragmatic, though she was too forgiving.
* Which parts of the book stood out to you?: The suffering and humiliation of the h was heart-wrenching. It went on and on!
* What themes/tropes did you detect in the story?: cheating H, wronged and abandoned h
* What did you think about the ending?: It was sweet. I would’ve liked a lot more groveling. I was left thinking he’d probably cheat again if she did something to piss him off.
* What is your impression of the author?: I’ll definitely read more.
Triggers: cheating
