I agree with the reviewer who said it read like it was written by AI. I felt no emotions here - not anger, devastation, sadness or anything else from the MCs (aka FMC & OM who is the OW's bf).
Do not recommend this to my safety friends or anyone else for that matter unless you enjoy bland reads with little emotions and substance.

Maybe it was the page count, but something was missing to really kick the angst up to a level “cheating” tropes need to hook me. Writing was good though, and the bones of the story entertaining. The revenge was a bit excessive for me, I don’t think messing with someone’s livelihood is fair game. I would have been happy with just the emo mind games played against the two cheaters. I did like the 4 POV’s we were given so we could see the motivations of all four of the people involved. I’ll definitely read more from author.

A nice little tale of infidelity and revenge. I never felt the angsty rage of betrayal I crave, but still fun. Loved the cheaters overall fates.

Love this one…
Since it’s in the title, we know cheating is involved, and we find out fairly quickly what is happening. Rosalia is the FMC and Sean is the MMC. She’s married to David, and Sean has a girlfriend, Katherine.
It gets a little complicated… but not too complicated. This is easy to follow and the story line is actually a lot of fun. I totally felt for the FMC and then I fell for Sean. He sounds like such a good, decent man.
KU read and I really liked this one. Much of the spice comes from the cheaters, but there’s enough world and character building to keep readers happy, in my opinion. Recommended.

3.5 average revenge for cheating story but parts of it were too unbelievable for me to rate it higher although the quality of the writing was good.

4.0. Rated R. Contemporary Romance. 215 pages
Poor loyal wife. Cheating entitled husband with next door neighbors girlfriend. Loyal wife and next door guy decide to get together and take them down. And the process is very entertaining. Yikes! Be prepared for an emotional ride.

Please stop saying bespoke!!
The story was actually pretty good and I enjoyed the plot and I enjoyed the characters and it was honestly very well written, but the author described every suit as bespoke. That means absolutely nothing to us. As the reader, a bespoke suit is just one that is tailor-made. The word bespoke does not make you sound smarter so please stop using it. I think it was in the story like 10 times. Otherwise, I highly recommend the story, but it really distracted from the quality of this book.

JUST DESSERTS
While I wouldn’t normally advocate revenge to the degree Sean and Rosalie took it to, David and Katherine brought it on themselves. Cheaters eventually do end up experiencing the repercussions for their lying, deceitful behavior.
I love that Sean and Rosalie ended up together. And in the end Sean realized that despite all that he and Rosalie did to their cheating exes, it was as the old saying goes “the best revenge is living well”. Sean realized that the wonderful life they built together and the beautiful family he & Rosalie made together is what really mattered. And that is how they really won.
As for David and Katherine, they learned a hard lesson in life. If in fact, they learned anything. They lost their partners, their financial stability, their reputations, their careers, etc… in the end they stayed together, but not out of any deep love or respect. They almost had no choice at this point. Because they had no options economically nor romantically. I saw it play out this way with my ex and his side piece (eventually wife), who are together because they really just don’t have any choice at this point in life.
“One never finds happiness at the expense of another“.
A good, quick read.

Ruined
Well the two cheaters lives were ruined. The Billionaire made sure that they were both stripped of everything. To me it was a bit obsessive.

Continuity errors
I liked the story but started getting distracted by continuity errors - the color of Katherine's dress, the make and model of Sean's car, Rosalia's job, David's position at the firm, etc., and what happened at the party is never fully explained.

I really enjoyed this book
Rosalia has been married for 10 years to David and egotistical Lawyer who thinks the world revolves around him and his wants, when she starts to feel her husband disconnect and she starts to doubt his loyalty and love.
Sean is the billionaire neighbour next door with his 29 year old girlfriend Katherine who is a fitness instructor.
This is a story about cheating and has explicit sex scenes but those scenes are with the cheaters for the bulk of this story.
David pretends to despise Katherine and portrays Katherine as beneath them, the reality is David and Katherine have been having an affair for months.
Sean finds out first and tells Rosalia who can’t believe it but Sean has video evidence from his home security cameras.
Then this is the start of Sean and Rosalia working together to systematically destroy both of the cheaters before he dumps Katherine and she divorces David.
I do like the evil they do to destroy the cheaters David & Katherine and it then allows Sean and Rosalia to build their own relationship from the ruins of the people who betrayed them.
I loved the last chapter its ends the story nicely where we see Sean and Rosalia 5 years later and what their lives look like.

Love this!
Beautifully written. Not too over-long. Just the perfect combination of angst and passion. It swept me up and occupied my thoughts momentarily delving into the surreal realities of the life of the privileged 1%. Well, a semblance of it. The ending round the whole story making it a satisfying conclusion. Tales of betrayal and revenge never interested me in the past because I have an unyielding hatred to be in such a situation, didn't want my home wrecked or become a home-wrecker. I wanted a Happily-ever-after like all women in love with their husbands. I had a perfect marriage with a man I truly loved. I had a beautiful marriage...until I didn't. You can't appreciate the depth of the heartache of the betrayal until it happens to you. This is the 1st book of betrayal and revenge I've read since my marriage collapsed. Took me 15 years. This book is well written and the author did not waste unnecessary narrative.
I highly recommend this book. Just be warned of several trigger points which the author prefaced in the book.

This was beautifully written and this is the kind of cheating story I actually like to read. Not because of the cheating, but because of the consequences and the revenge.
The FMC just wants to bury her head and survive the betrayal, but her neighbor will not let her keep being hurt by her husband and his girlfriend. He sees what is happening and decides he is not going to just stand by and watch her be destroyed.
I loved that this was not fast revenge. This was long game revenge. The kind where everything is planned and slowly falls apart for the people who caused all the damage.
Her husband was horrible, truly horrible, and I will admit I enjoyed watching everything fall apart for him. And the girlfriend’s life falling apart so quickly after everything she did felt like justice.
If you like emotional stories with betrayal, healing, and well planned revenge, this is a really good read.

Incredible!
Oh my goodness! What a story! Sean discovered that his girlfriend, Katherine was cheating with David, the husband of Rosalie, and also their neighbors. Once Sean informed Rosalie, they began a well planned revenge. After all, to forgive is divine. To seek revenge is only humam.

Great story
This was great. It had everything a good romance needs: a great heroine, a devastating issue and an HEA. Sean and Rosalia are the perfect conspirators and David and Katherine perfectly awful partners. I felt the agony Rosalia went through. I also loved that the ending filled her life with joy.

A satisfying conclusion
I enjoyed this book, it was a quick and easy read with very little tension but a satisfying conclusion, which was actually never in doubt. There were a few niggling editing errors but the characters were well defined and the world of billionaires provided sheer escapism.

Stress, emotional and revenge
This is a well written story about betrayal, the questions that arise, the emotions and what happens when the two that were betrayed work together for revenge or maybe justice.
The characters are interesting and understandable. At least Sean and Rose are.
I recommend Bleeding Love and hope to read more by this author.

payback is truely karma on cheaters
This story was very well written.we have 2 couple, neighbors and one partner is each couple is having an affair with the neighbor. Big mistake and then we are taken on a ride and instructions on home to destroy narcissist. Very poetic in its execution.We don’t know if the FMC has a family it’s never mentioned.

Absolutely fascinating and engaging
I loved the way the two people who were married/involved with the two cheaters managed the total downfall of the cheaters. Better revenge could have not been possible. The beautiful HEA for the two victims of.infidelity was the best ending ever.

Daggone!
This was a doozy! The MFC was unknowingly involved in a toxic relationship with her husband. He was a piece of work. The MMC was ruthless but caring all at the same time. Love the plot, characters and the HEA!

Cheaters never reap the rewards
Once you cheat you lose it all.I loved the traps set they never saw it coming they both thought they could get away with it with no consequences. If a husband cheats after 10 years of marriage he's worthless.

This was ok, but felt flat! For how good the story was I would have liked to have felt some angst, anger or even sadness.... but I felt nothing. I wanted to feel their emotions, not be told about them and there were so many opportunities to do that, they just weren't taken.

Awesome story! With enough detail to pull the characters in. The two cheaters were written really well. The hero and heroine, the cheater's mates were written in a way that you were really rooting for them. The revenge was delicious. The comeuppance was thorough. Very explicit, very rewarding.
