I really enjoyed this book.

Does have some cheating "like" components but as the story goes along, we get clarity on the relationship.

SPOILER LIKE THOUGHTS-


The major reason why this is a four and not a five for me was the business connection mentioned and how the wife threatened that. More importantly, she had the power to manifest those threats.

However, that storyline kinda fizzled out for me. I would have preferred that specific component be left out BUT I understand and appreciate the author's direction.

I still recommend and it was a really good read.
