Okay so I was putting this book off even when it was uploaded on Wattpad because honestly, this author’s last book wasn’t just bad!!It was downright fucking pathetic. But then came the unhinged amount of chomping, sobbing, fainting, and emotional thirsting on her Wattpad page about Cole the cheater. Women were literally crying all day, claiming to have withdrawal symptoms from a man who raw-dogged his employee behind his wife’s back. So I thought, hell, maybe it’s written well? Surely no sane person would cry over a man who dicked down his subordinate unless the writing had some quality?
But no. My dumbass forgot the golden rule: this author’s fanbase treats any man with a jawline and a tragic sigh like he’s Christ reborn. Even her last dumpster fire had five-star reviews written like she paid rent in emotional delusion. This book? Same shit. Just a different flavor of sewage. The reviews are so goddamn misleading it feels like a trap. You go in expecting catharsis and depth and walk out with secondhand embarrassment and brain rot. The ass-kissing is Olympic-level. It’s like these readers would rate their own cheating husbands five stars if he cried in cursive and brought them flowers while still smelling like the mistress’s lip gloss. The author knows exactly what she's doing—milking the drama, glorifying the cheater, flattening the women, and selling watered-down trauma as soul-searching. And her fanbase? Genuinely some of the most delulu Wattpad survivors I’ve ever seen. They read about a man emotionally waterboarding his wife with betrayal and somehow find that shit healing. Like girl, are you healed or are you high?
So here’s a quick rundown:
1. Cole Sterling, a supposedly Greek god-looking real estate mogul, cheats on his wife of 7 years. Not just a kiss or some vague emotional affair! Oh No,he fucking lets a whore blow him in the office while drunk and very much aware(he didn't even pretend to resist), and that little head party escalates into full-blown fucking for an entire month. No hesitation. No guilt. No morals. The side piece gets pregnant, claims the baby is his, and he still keeps screwing her. He buys her a house, gives her allowance, plays happy family. Not because he loves her,but because he’s obsessed with the baby she’s brewing. Oh yes. Full trash behavior with extra sewage.
2. He doesn’t stop. He just hides it better. And when the mistress starts acting clingy, he pulls away and suddenly realizes he loves his wife more than life itself. ROT IN SEWAGE YOU RODENT. Instead of cutting the affair off, he continues entertaining it for a whole year. Then forces the wife, who owns a small company, to employ the same mistress in a merger. Yes. You read that right.
3. Meanwhile, his best friend Archie is in love with the wife. For eight years. But they act purely platonic, no spark, no chemistry, nothing. Then out of nowhere, in the last chapter, the author decides “Welp, soulmate time!” and shoves them together with all the finesse of a drunk toddler playing with Barbie dolls.
4. After the wife finds out, does the man grovel? HELL NO. He gives a few Oscar-worthy sniffles and fucks off for five days because the mistress is giving birth. The mistress hides his phone charger, and apparently that’s all it takes for him to abandon his wife in grief. She slaps him, divorces him, and what does he do next? Oh, just chooses the mistress and the baby and disappears for weeks. The author tries to make the mistress look evil to soften his cheating, but nice try sweetheart. I see you and your cheating apologist brain.
5. THEN. Comes the punchline of this whole clown show. He finds out the baby’s not his and suddenly we’re supposed to start his redemption arc. He gets poetic. Teary. Quiet. Tragic. Like he’s not the reason the whole fucking mess even started. He turns into some sad little wet paper towel wandering around with sorrow in his soul while the wife’s character slowly fades into thin air.
6. From that point, the book basically becomes a pity parade for Cole. All depth, all development is handed to him. The wife? Becomes a footnote. His cheating wasn’t because he was horny, no no—by the end, it’s suddenly rebranded as some “dark trauma” and “void he couldn’t fill.” I literally cannot roll my eyes harder. His tears are treated like gold dust while his actual actions remain trash-tier. Pretty fucking tears. That’s it. That’s the whole redemption arc. He cries pretty and the world forgives him. Congratulations, he’s now a tragic hero. Someone fetch me bleach.
7. Then BAM. Time leap. 18 months. No context. No growth. They have dinner thrice a week, he gives her flowers like a pathetic florist zombie, and the wife randomly realizes she never loved Cole and she actually loves Archie now. Based on what? A few meals and zero buildup? No one knows. Not even the author.
8. Final scene? Wife is shoved like an Amazon package into a bland marriage with Archie. Pregnant, because of course. Cole walks away with a poetic backstory, a clean slate, and a whole fucking sequel about his new love story. Yes, the sewer rat gets a second chance while his wife gets shipped off with Mr. Meh in the name of dignity.
The only character I had even a speck of respect for was Cole’s father. A cheating bastard himself but at least he had the balls to OWN his assholery. Unlike his son who committed adultery like it was cardio yet strutted around acting like some sainted martyr weighed down by trauma and sad boy thoughts. At least the father never pretended to be anything but a selfish prick. Cole, on the other hand, is a despicable, manipulative, emotional cockroach who wants applause for not cheating twice.
The writing? Not novel-worthy, not even close. But better than her last tragedy, if you judge by Wattpad standards where everything smells like recycled drama and desperation. Two stars. Only because this one didn’t traumatize me like the last. It made me laugh. Not in joy but in utter disbelief at how low this author can sink just to make a cheater look like a misunderstood angel. Not through genuine change. Not through growth. But through pretty. Fucking. Tears.
On a side note to her chomping ladies, THIS IS WHAT YOU ALL WERE CRYING FOR?!!!!!!THIS MENTALLY IMPOTENT,SCUM-SUCKING SON OF A BITCH?!!OH FOR FUCK SAKE!!! You’re not heartbroken, you're just emotionally constipated with zero standards. If a man like this makes you weep, then honey, your bar isn’t in hell—it’s rotting in the Mariana Trench with his dignity!!!!

This was decent and satisfied my angst needs.
Cole was a fucking douche bag though. At no time did I want her to take his ass back.

Edited: So I wanted to come back and say a couple more things. I saw the author Jona liked my review, and I wanted to say that she has talent, and think she has what it takes to make a great story. One story that I'm looking forward to her finishing is the Warrior and the Princess
3.5 stars. So this book is definitely for those who hate cheating and want a new and better H. I read this on Wattpad and know the author is moving it to KU. While I enjoyed the story it felt a bit rushed in places, and could have had a better explanation at some parts. The herione is strong and kicks him to the curb. It's sad though because she really was in love with him. OTT ow shenanigans, and a swoony new H Archie.
Safety: on page cheating. You will hate the husband Cole because of how narcissistic and egotistical he is.

⚠️ SPOILER WARNING: This review contains spoilers for the sequel. Read at your own risk.
I’m genuinely conflicted about this book. On one hand, I appreciated the female lead for finally having a spine, something sorely missing in the author’s previous work. But on the other hand? I absolutely loathed the cheater and the nauseating pedestal the author insists on placing him on. Why is he getting his own book with a shiny new love interest, as if he’s the misunderstood hero of some tragic epic? I skimmed through parts of the sequel and felt physically revolted. In that book, he reveals personal truths, emotional baggage, and deep vulnerability to another woman within weeks—things he never once shared with Sara in their entire seven-year marriage. It felt like a slap in the face. Sara was never his soulmate; she was a stepping stone. A plot device he was allowed to shatter so he could be rebuilt prettier for someone else.
And yes, maybe my review is a little biased, but I genuinely cannot shake the deep loathing I feel for him after reading even a few chapters of that sequel. The man didn’t grovel, didn’t reflect, didn’t fight to win his wife back. He just moved on. And the worst part? The author handed him that exit on a silver platter, wrapped in sympathy, and sprinkled with poetic lines as if we should root for him.
As for Katya? She feels like she crawled straight out of a meme. Every “pick-me” friend you’ve ever seen mocked on Instagram lives and breathes in her. Her friendship with him is written with more depth, emotion, and layered understanding than his entire marriage. So again I ask, how exactly is Sara supposed to be the love of his life?
The truth is, the author has built an entire literary universe designed to justify, soften, and romanticize this man’s filth. She layers it with metaphors and trauma backstories, hoping readers will confuse it for nuance, when in reality it’s nothing more than well-written emotional manipulation. She doesn’t write healing arcs for the women shattered by betrayal—she writes redemption arcs for the men who caused that damage.
And what truly infuriates me is this: the author clearly knows how to write romance. The chemistry between Cole and Katya proves it. She just chooses not to give that effort, that emotional depth, to the women who’ve been cheated on and broken. It’s as if once a woman is betrayed, she no longer deserves real love. That mindset is disgusting.
At this point, I don’t just dislike her stories—I am utterly disgusted by her narrative choices. Disgusted by the way she uses women’s pain as kindling for a man’s emotional “journey.” Disgusted that she writes like female suffering is only worthwhile if it builds character in a man. Disgusted that her pen moves with empathy only when writing about the very men who cause the destruction.
This isn’t romance. This is cheater-worshipping and narrative gaslighting wearing a lace dress and calling itself literature.
And I’m done.

Quick Rundown:. I'm not going to do my typical review template because I think that would be too many spoilers...
This is Sara's story really. She finds out that her husband has been cheating on her and has gotten the OW, who is their coworker, pregnant. She deals with the devastation of her world being turned upside down and she has some friends, including Archie who has cared for her for a long time, to help her through it. There's a bit of love triangle going on, some mega OW drama, and a few sexy scenes...and she gets a HEA ending.
I enjoyed parts of this but sadly didn't connect enough to really feel anything, like I was really hoping to do. I do feel like it ended the way it should've, so I wasn't upset about that. But there was something off about the whole story for me to make it feel kind of surface level 🤷🏻♀️ It was just okay.

‼️1 extra star cause the wife didn’t take the cheater back and that to me was worth everything! Otherwise this ended up not working for me at all.
‼️But unfortunately the author focused on a lot of the wrong things and the NEW romance didn’t do it for me.
Spoilers and rant below
I liked the writing for the most part I mean books on WATTPAD are not always easy to read and this was.
‼️This was definitely to long and a lot could have been cut back.
🔪💀Cheating- husband cheats on wife that he loves and gets OW preggo
♥️WIFE LEAVES HIM AND GETS HEA W NEW MAN.
‼️I’m always down for a cheating book when the h leaves the cheater and he is left w serious regret and misery and she is happy and in love w new man.
‼️My main issue here was that way to much time was spent of the cheating and cheater.
‼️We didn’t need the OW POV
‼️We didn’t need as much cheater POV
‼️We needed more of the hero POV
‼️And WE NEEDED MORE FOCUS IN THE NEW ROMANCE. These stories can get real depressing and this author needed more balance w the happy and the good. We really only get 1 chapter and epilogue w the new H. I mean yes he is supporting her and stuff and I liked that but the actual romance didn’t click cause till the every 2nd to the last chapter she is still hung up on her ex!
‼️My other issue is there was a 18mo time jump and separation w the H and h. He says he “WAITED” for her but what does that mean? Cause he also said “ no matter how hard he tried he couldn’t brake his promise to wait for her”
Ummmm ok so did he date? Hookup? Or stay celibate waiting for the h to heal from her divorce? Be specific! Thats super important!!!! And why was it so long and why didn’t they communicate at all.
I DID NOT LIKE HOW THIS WAS HANDLED!
‼️Time jump then boom I love you’s like what? Yeah that was just so poorly done!
Safety for new H….
‼️Also the new H past wasn’t great either. Yes he loved the h for 8 years and had to stand by while the h was married to his best friend so I don’t blame him for trying to move on.
🤮But there were mentions of him whoring his way around the world AND he had a 2 year serious relationship w a woman he worked with that was very special to him. AND he slept w one of the h best friends!!!!!
This stuff turned me off big time. I do NOT think we needed to hear all of this or even have him have such a past. I def don’t like that he whored and had a serious relationship. It would have been best to leave his past a mystery.
‼️This definitely is NOT SAFE.
But I love a story of the h strong enough to leave the cheater and when she gets her HEA. And A NEW LOVE!
‼️Here I just didn’t think the romance and the HEA were handled well. At least half the book should go to her new romance. But we got like 10%
‼️Another thing about her writing. She focuses on the bad and sad. All the emotions with lots and lots of detail but when it comes to
The happy and the good there is lots to of glossing. The happy parts felt rushed.
And the happy parts and the romance are what make this book worth the trauma.
‼️Also the cheater was kinda still not a bad guy in the end!!!!
Like I don’t want that dude being happy I want him miserable. Period. I DO NOT WANT HIM TO HAVE A HEA or story or see him happy. ABSOLUTELY NOT! and here I guess the author want us to still like and want to see him happy 🤮🤮🤮 no thank you. It’s ok to have a villain in a story not everyone deserves a HEA so yeah he is happy and w a new love and he is still in his daughter/not daughters life. The one he chose and lived over the h.
Spoiler: the baby wasn’t his! Oh but his bind w her was so strong years later he is still in her life.
I HATED THIS!!!!!!!!!!
This guy should be freaking miserable and rolling around in shit the rest of his life!
‼️But unfortunately the author focused on a lot of the wrong things and the NEW romance didn’t do it for me.

If I could rate this negative stars, I’d chisel it into the floor of rock bottom with the blood of every woman you emotionally butchered for plot.
Your books are less “romance” and more like public service announcements on why therapy and birth control are essential. You treat cheaters like misunderstood poets, wives like disposable napkins, and mistresses like they descended from the damn Virgin Mary. Are you okay?
Let’s be clear. You don’t write female leads—you write martyrs on a discount. You build them up like goddesses, then toss them into suffering pits so your pet cheater can look deep and damaged while she sobs through betrayal trauma. Your idea of healing? Get cheated on, suffer in silence, then get recycled into some lukewarm backup man’s arms like a clearance item nobody really wanted. Vile.
Your men don’t grow. They just cry one man-tear, whisper some Dollar Tree “I was hurting” speech, and suddenly you slap a halo on their heads and call it redemption. Girl, the only thing they’re redeeming is their frequent flyer miles from mistress booty calls.
I have seen bedbugs with more character development than the men you romanticize. You give them forgiveness, new love interests, poetic monologues, and even sequel books. But the women they destroyed? They get trauma, silence, and page-time only when it’s time to prop up some mediocre man’s moral awakening. Make it make sense.
Oh, and that rebound love interest? You could’ve replaced him with a houseplant and I’d have felt more chemistry. “He loved her for eight years” and it still felt like watching paint beg for attention. She was just there to be passed around like a pity bouquet while your crusty cheater got every drop of your writing talent.
The most disgusting part? Your books don’t just begin and end with the cheater;they orbit around him like your soul is powered by his audacity. You made him the focal point. Again. Gave him depth, layers, redemption, even a full-ass sequel, while the wife—the ACTUAL VICTIM—was reduced to emotional roadkill.
You don’t write from a place of love. You write from a place of deep internalized misogyny with a glitter filter. It’s giving, “if he cheats but cries, he deserves poetry,” and honestly? That’s not literature. That’s trauma in a trench coat.
And you know what? I’m done.
I will never, and I mean NEVER, pick another book from you. Not if it’s free. Not if it’s gifted. Not even if the world’s last bookstore is on fire and your book is the only thing I can use to survive the flames. I’d rather read a cereal box. I’d rather tattoo spoilers from better authors on my eyelids.
I’m mailing you your Pick-Me Author Certification overnight, dipped in the tears of every betrayed wife you silenced, and stapled to a printed list of authors who actually understand character development, healing, and justice.
May your pen dry up every time you try to write another “he cheated but he’s sad about it” storyline.
Good riddance.
Your books are less “romance” and more like public service announcements on why therapy and birth control are essential. You treat cheaters like misunderstood poets, wives like disposable napkins, and mistresses like they descended from the damn Virgin Mary. Are you okay?
Let’s be clear. You don’t write female leads—you write martyrs on a discount. You build them up like goddesses, then toss them into suffering pits so your pet cheater can look deep and damaged while she sobs through betrayal trauma. Your idea of healing? Get cheated on, suffer in silence, then get recycled into some lukewarm backup man’s arms like a clearance item nobody really wanted. Vile.
Your men don’t grow. They just cry one man-tear, whisper some Dollar Tree “I was hurting” speech, and suddenly you slap a halo on their heads and call it redemption. Girl, the only thing they’re redeeming is their frequent flyer miles from mistress booty calls.
I have seen bedbugs with more character development than the men you romanticize. You give them forgiveness, new love interests, poetic monologues, and even sequel books. But the women they destroyed? They get trauma, silence, and page-time only when it’s time to prop up some mediocre man’s moral awakening. Make it make sense.
Oh, and that rebound love interest? You could’ve replaced him with a houseplant and I’d have felt more chemistry. “He loved her for eight years” and it still felt like watching paint beg for attention. She was just there to be passed around like a pity bouquet while your crusty cheater got every drop of your writing talent.
The most disgusting part? Your books don’t just begin and end with the cheater;they orbit around him like your soul is powered by his audacity. You made him the focal point. Again. Gave him depth, layers, redemption, even a full-ass sequel, while the wife—the ACTUAL VICTIM—was reduced to emotional roadkill.
You don’t write from a place of love. You write from a place of deep internalized misogyny with a glitter filter. It’s giving, “if he cheats but cries, he deserves poetry,” and honestly? That’s not literature. That’s trauma in a trench coat.
And you know what? I’m done.

Cheating romance with OW drama.
Cole and Sara are married. Several months ago he cheated with Elsa and she’s now pregnant. Sara finds out by following Cole to Elsa’s house and she doesn’t see them together intimately, she does see them kiss and overhears Elsa calling Cole and affectionate name. To say that Sara was devastated is an understatement. The pregnancy certainly did not help the situation.
She also finds out that a couple of their friends knew about this and had not told her. So she’s feeling betrayed by several people. This is a messy situation. One, Sara is the head of a company that shares a space with Cole. And two, Elsa works for Sara. So it was just a mess.
Let’s talk about the other woman. She was a doozy. Very manipulative, very conniving. We find out that Cole isn’t even the father because she seduced one of the people working at the DNA clinic to alter the results. But because he had thought that he was the dad, he had done a lot for her, like buying her a townhome, supporting her financially, spending time with her, even when he was done with the affair and just didn’t want to be with her anymore.
Cole has deep regrets about what happened, and really works hard to try to win Sara back. Then we have Archie. Archie is actually Cole‘s best friend and we learn that him and Sara shared a moment in their past that had a huge impact on him. For him, she was the one who got away. He loved her instantly.
So when he later found out that she actually was dating and going to marry his best friend he was devastated. So now that this betrayal has happened, he tells himself that he wants to be there to be her biggest support and he is. We love Archie. Spoiler alert, she ends up with Archie. They don’t jump into anything right away, but they do find their way back to one another for their HEA.
So much had happened by the 50% mark I didn’t know what the author could do to keep the story interesting. So in that regard, there was definitely a point in the book where it did feel like it was dragging. But the drama surrounding the other woman did keep it interesting at times. I loved that she got her comeuppance. Not every author includes that and I was so happy this author did. We get a little snippet into what ended up happening with Cole, that he was moving on and finding happiness again. Overall, this had a nice amount of angst and drama to it, which I enjoyed. I think it was a little longer than it needed to be, but overall I enjoyed it and would recommend it.

The wife barely gets the spotlight, yet the man who turned infidelity into a lifestyle choice gets handed not just sympathy, but another book?! With a so-called blonde “badass” named Kat?! Really?! This author has officially crossed into the dark abyss of literary bullshit and apparently has no plans of turning back! Even if I refuse to read a single line of Cole’s book, I can already predict the formula! Katya will be portrayed as edgy, witty, magnetic! A walking Pinterest board of trauma-healing coolness! Suddenly he’ll be able to communicate! Suddenly he’ll be vulnerable! Suddenly he’s never felt safer! Never felt this seen! This woman will be everything Sara wasn’t, all for the sake of painting the past as unworthy!
So that Sara, the actual wife, looks like a placeholder in her own marriage?! So that this new Rando can shine as the savior?! That’s the karmic justice?! Not remorse! Not consequences!Not Misery he so rightfully deserves! But an upgraded romance with prettier metaphors and more foreplay?! This is the same tired garbage she pulled in Aiden’s novel, where the doormat wife Asha was stripped of every ounce of depth and deliberately written as boring and monotonous just to make the whore mistress Vanessa look vibrant and irresistible!
Opening another book by this mid-tier author was my mistake! Sensationalizing cheaters seems to be her niche! But hey, if you’re into watching morally bankrupt men get their redemption through conveniently hot blondes, congratulations! You’ve found your favorite writer! I, however, have found the exit!

3.75 stars, well written for wattpad. It's one of the better cheating hubs stories I've read. Lot's of redemption, though not necessarily good enough to keep the heroine.
September 12, 2025
The phrase “living a double life” in the synapse is what grabbed my attention to Jona Leigh’s Unfaithful. Cole is our unfaithful husband, trying to hide an affair he’s had ongoing for 9 months. Hello foreshadowing. Wife, Sara feels betrayed by not only Cole but by friends who hid his affair the whole time from her. Honestly I think I was more hurt at the 2 friends’ betrayal of Sara than Cole’s…that’s such a huge thing to keep regardless and Cole forcing them to keep his secret pissed me off. His selfishness knew no bounds. Enter Archibald, another friend of the couple but one who knew nothing about what Cole had going on, and was there for Sara as her life falls apart. I loved sweet, enigmatic Archie from the start and add in his brother Julian and Sara’s bestie who came to help, I just loved the little found family she started. Cole got his redemption arc, though it was for a different lady and in a completely humbling way I could get behind. He was capable of change, but the OW got what she deserved, and it was not for being the other woman to me. Her crime was criminal literally.
Though not the second chance some would want for Cole and Sara, I thought it ended appropriately.

The 3 star was for Sara being a strong woman and leaving and isn’t delusional like most of these authors write their FMC they should be taking notes. The writing was amazing I enjoyed it. The reason I deducted 2 stars was because of that ending. 1 why is Cole not suffering in misery? And why not just leave it with him suffering forever 2 why is he getting a redemption book? I mean I wouldn’t read it personally as throughout this entire book I did not like him one bit and kept rolling my eyes every time he made excuses for himself.

I read this on Wattpad. I had completely forgotten but when I started reading this I knew it was familiar. This is a really good betrayal book
There is cheating so if that’s a no go for you, then don’t read it.
If you love a super angsty cheating book with emotional breakdowns and a strong fmc, this is for you.

Sorry, but let’s get one thing straight!! Betrayal is never a fucking mistake. Authors need to stop weaponizing trauma to excuse trash behavior, especially a betrayal that deep. Remorse doesn’t mean shit when the actions are still rotten to the core. He was ready to toss her aside for his affair baby and only pretended to grow a conscience when it turned out not to be his. And guess what? His non‑affair kid still got to stay in his life, so where the hell was the punishment? The excerpt even says he met Katya in just two months after walking out of Sara’s office!! In just two fucking months and my friends who have read the sequel told me awakening cemented the fact that he never loved Sara!! You want us to feel bad for this kind of asshole? Spare me the bullshit. You can’t glamorize a villain, Jona, and then give Cole 30 chapters sequel while shoving Sara onto Archie in two like she was an afterthought.

Things I Liked:
1. Sara had a strong backbone.
2. She left Cole.
Things I Didn’t Like:
1. Sara appeared in few chapters, and her POV lacked depth.
2. Cole was portrayed as a victim despite committing one of the top five worst betrayals I’ve ever read.
3. Cole got off scot-free and even got a new love story.
4. Sara and Archie were abruptly forced together without proper development.
5. The unnecessary 18-month time skip just as things were starting to make sense.
6. Cole showed no remorse for his despicable actions(He did cry a lot haha but his actions were downright pathetic), which made me hate how the epilogue revealed that the alleged affair baby (who wasn’t even his) was still in his life. I have nothing against the child, but if he truly loved Sara as he claimed (which I never believed), why keep the very reminder of the betrayal that destroyed their marriage? It was unsettling!
Why did the author write him as some wounded martyr when his actions were downright disgusting? And why did she do Sara so dirty? Does the author have a bias against victims of cheating and a soft spot for cheaters? No idea!

extremely emotional
A story of people some who are honest with themselves and others too lost in self serving emotions. Taking responsibility for your behavior and the repercussions, letting yourself be lead by lies because being honest about yourself is too painful. Some are strong and others are weak. What would you do?
Trust once broken can not be mended, but love will still remain. It fades allowing you to move on.

Liked that the person cheated on didn't take the cheater back and ended up with someone else in a HEA... that literally never happens in the books I read. Finally!
Didn't like the 18 month time jump out of nowhere, just when things were turning around. All momentum and emotion and depth and believability were utterly lost and I sorta sped through the rest after the initial confusion of wtf just happened. Seems like a lazy choice.
Gave it a 1.75 on fable.

I hit ‘Read’ the second it was available on KU.
I personally really liked this one and could not stop reading.
I love books that really push my buttons and make me feel.
I also love a strong FMC. I will say, I hated Cole, I was sad for Cole, and I begrudgingly accepted him and his maturity. This is my second book by this author and I’m so glad I discovered her on my Kindle. ☺️

Absolutely Heart Shattering
This is such a raw heartfelt book. The author has defined the gut wrenching pain of infidelity in a way that I have not experienced. The honesty of the situation that is described by all involved will leave you divided in how to process your feelings. It’s not an easy read but it is incredibly real.
1 click now you will not be disappointed

Couldn't put it down
I stayed up all night just to finish....I have read ao many romance books that I can usually see where a book will go but this one had me on the edge of my seat and I never saw what was coming. I was a complete and total wreck for most of this book. What a very talented author!!! This book will live on in my head for awhile.

warning: have kleenex ready
An emotionally Charged tale of a betrayal and the journey to healing and hope. Provides different points of view. Great descriptions of the hurt, confusion, and struggles. A story of love lost and shattered. A story of love born. Surprisingly you will not hate the cheater by the end of their story. Have your kleenex ready.

This was a fairly solid cheating hubs story. I tend to be a bit more generous with rating this genre since so few are out for consumption. I'm all about the angst and the h getting an upgrade from the cheating hubs.

This book, wow!! What a journey!!
One of my top 5 cheating trope books!! It was so heartbreaking but amazing! I couldn’t put it down!!!
I can’t wait for the next one to come out. I’m honestly cheering for Cole (might be an unpopular opinion).

I like the writing style and the POV of the characters.
I would definitely read another from this author…just not about Cole again.

I wish I hadn’t read this book.
I had read a betrayal (not cheating) story and Kindle recommended this.
I wish I had read reviews beforehand. This includes two tropes I really don’t like: cheating and love triangles.
I was hoping this would be the type where one spouse cheats and then is left in the dust for the other to find love with another. This book is not that at all.
We have a narcissist MMC Cole who had it all and through it away for a desperate woman who took advantage of him when he was intoxicated. Not only did he not push her away when she started assaulting him when he was intoxicated, he decided it would be fun to start an affair with the woman. One of the biggest things was that it wasn’t even some random woman out in the world. Elsa worked with him and his wife and directly worked with his wife. He didn’t care how it would look to employees who caught on or how it would affect his wife. He even saw the looks from his own male secretary and a couple close employees and kept doing it for his own selfish gratification.
Surprise, surprise the rich, good looking company owner was duped and baby trapped.
We start the story when Elsa is close to giving birth to Cole’s child, or so we are told to believe, and is currently living a double life of going to Elsa and the house he set up with her and then going home to also sleep with his wife he claims is the love of his life.
I wasn’t even going to review this book but after I get my thoughts out maybe I can never think of it again.
Cole is a lot of the focus of the book when it should’ve been on Sara, her healing, and her finding love again. Instead that plays a side note to all of the chaos and drama Cole is going through with his psychotic affair partner.
The fact Cole even tried to get Sara back numerous times after what he did shows how delusional he is. He didn’t truly love Sara and probably was in love with the fantasy of having it all. Men who truly love their wives don’t cheat. His inner dialogue about Elsa in the beginning was so cringey and reading what they did together made me feel physically ill. I also feel he knew Archie was madly in love with Sara and wanted to have his cake and eat it too.
My biggest problem is the author trying to force the reader to feel bad for Cole. Even the epilogue made me ill with how we were made to feel like two star crossed lovers are being kept apart by bad decisions. If only Cole had not been an idiot that would be his life and his baby. Cole and Sara were not this. He might have thought she was his soulmate but it obviously isn’t the case. Archie was always Sara’s soulmate and Cole got in the way.
Do I want to read a sequel about Cole finding love after his sad story dominated most of the first book. Hell to the no. That man needs a lot of therapy.

All the feels
Cole...he is a hot mess. Sara is strong and resilient. While this story is about them, it's really about her. How she finds peace after betrayal and chooses herself. How she finds love, true love and learns how letting go of the past is what she needs to move forward. I love Archie and I was rooting for him from the first moment his character was introduced. He is boyfriend goals. I am eager to read the next book which is Cole's story. He made so many mistakes but I couldn't hate him. In the end I felt sorry for him and hoped he found someone who would make him change who he was to be the best version of himself.

I’ll give it to the author. It was well written. Cried, it gave you all the feels.
I lean heavily toward romance. Be advised going in this book is 85% breakup. And 15% romance. Yes it has a HEA but that is the last chapter. I would argue this is a redemption story not a romance.
