The Ultimate Betrayal by Michelle Reid

5.0

---

This is a reread for me. I read it years ago and when I'm on a kick for angsty romance it's one of the ones I go to. It's so different from typical Presents/Modern romances. This is a marriage in trouble that feels nothing like anything else in this line of books. There are aspects to this book that are somewhat relatable - a lot going on with kids, family, illness and work. There is a disconnect between work and home life. When Rachel gets wind that Daniel has been out and about with someone else while working late, they have to figure out if they can move on together and if so how to do it. A lot of what they detail that they are working through sounds very relatable based on what I've seen real couples go through as they work through things themselves. Love the angst as you read this.
