The whole thing about cheating is that most times the cheaters don’t really have a reason. They just do. Pointless. Just like the books.
Jackson and Ellary were together since they were 16. Then he was very much enjoying a bj from his assistant. Then he got caught, and was like I made a mistake. You’re the one I love.
Ellary had no purpose in life. 9 years married. Thats it, never made anything of her life. Pointless as well. The best she could do is a barista job when she leaves Jackson. Thats the best these women have going on for them? Only to quit when she goes back to him.
Ellary goes on a date with Clayton and asks herself why she is not falling in love with him since he is such a nice guy? After coming out of a marriage of 9 years, after being with Jackson since she was 16.
And then to wrap this all up towards their HEA she suddenly goes but I still love him.
Waste of time 🤡

I marvel at having a second chance I don’t deserve. “Thank you for your trust. I will never shatter it again.

2.5/5
Let’s call a spade a spade. He cheated because he felt attraction to someone else and she built up his ego.
I appreciated the therapy but it didn’t touch enough on that fact that he was selfish enough not to think of the repercussions of his actions…not until after the fact. Even then he thought he could talk his way out of it. He learned the hard way that actions have consequences. At times I felt his inner monoglue was more about him thinking about how he could hurt her, rather than the act itself. I know in a way they are one and the same but I felt he was more worried that he’d hurt her, rather than being regretful about the actual act itself. It was also never explained the month after the first kiss with the OW. I’d want to know what their interactions were like in that time….were they flirting? Spending time together? What were his thoughts? He explained he felt guilty, but it he was functioning just fine after the first kiss. These gaps in the story frustrated me.
There were also a few repetitive moments where we were told the same things twice.
Them both Identifying his godfather/boss as only his boss on numerous occasions was confusing as they were so close, Ellie knew his boss as a family friend so why not identify by him be name? It happened quite a few times so it stood out to me.
I think the author originally wrote the story with Jackson actually having intercourse with the OW, then changed it to a bj, which is why it stated they’d had sex. I get why, but again it threw me off, of course it’s still cheating and a sexual act but it needed to be clearer.
Overall I enjoyed the story. I did feel Jackson’s remorse and I believed their reconciliation.

Ok read
I enjoyed that this felt like a real story and not an AI regurgitated story. I did feel like the thought life was a bit extensive and should have been cut back as it made the story drag. I did NOT like that the author thought it was a good idea to have her date and it made him look weird to hit on a woman he just met, was pregnant, and just going through a divorce. Creepy. I was glad that the author portrayed her as a strong woman who realized she wasn't ready to date and that she didn't find her value by hooking up with another guy. I also wasn't a fan that she would try to fix him up with her sister. I know, I know it's just a story but who wants to date a guy who was so attracted to her sister he asked her out within minutes of meeting her. You'd always wonder if he still was attracted to your sister. We didn't really get to see her process what happened in therapy. It was an ok read.

Not badly written, just a bad message
Cheating books are tough because most send terrible messages unless the woman gets a new love interest or at least dates other people. This man ENJOYED cheating. Enjoyed it! Smile on his face and lied about the emotional affair and a precious kiss while his wife was trying to get pregnant. Nothing could have fixed this unless they had been apart for years and he was celibate while she dated. This was a no. Not sure I’ll give this new author another chance or not

Sweet ending
I enjoyed their healing and growing together. Jackson proved himself in the long run. However I like gut punches and more emotions when reading a cheating book.

Very readable. I didn't agree with the characters decisions, but enjoyed reading it.
My issue is the compressed timeline. The resolution wrapped up very quickly. He cheated, she walks away and they spend months apart. Then they start talking and the final decision about the marriage is wrapped up in weeks.

Betrayal and Grovel
I was recommended this book n I love a good betrayal and grovel, I was a little confused on the betrayal though. There wasn’t a lot of backstory of how a husband who loves his wife dearly could just let that happen so easily but then I was also confused whether there was actually sex that took place or not as through the book they say it was head job but then other times call it sex……
Zachary knew he messed up and he did feel guilty and sorry for his actions and my heart hurt for Allery since she didn’t see this coming at all. I was glad with the HEA and would read more from this Author just wish a few things during story were a little clearer. ❤️❤️❤️

2.5 rounding up to 3.
Would try author again. Good gut punch moment, just got a little bored with how long reconciliation was, wanted more drama to keep me interested

March 28, 2026Debut, so not rating this story. But. Seriously. Though. MC is someone who should never be forgiven. MC actually silences his phone after FMC repeatedly attempts to reach him to tell him he is finally going to be a father. He is straight up telling the assistant she blew his mind with that bj while grinning at her affectionately and ready to get to the penetration part of the party only to realize the FMC is standing right there watching him get sexual gratification from OW. Then, he literally stands there, pants down and hanging out like a limp noodle, telling his wife its "not what it looks like." Oh...of course, honey...silly me. Let me get a kleenex and wipe that pink lipstick off your overly small penis. No biggie. Dude. Bro. You already disrespect her by dismissing her calls to screw another woman, but now you have to go ahead and try to disrespect her intelligence by gaslighting her?! Ya. No. (To be fair...after finishing this story I can see why the MC assumes she will fall for it because she sure as shoot took that nasty man back with little to no work on his part).
Again, you can not make me believe that the MC has any remorse for his actions with OW. Especially as this is not the first time he is physical with her. A kiss with someone who isn't your spouse is still cheating you nasty douche nozzle. Lest not forget, prior to that kiss, MC is already in a full-blown emotional affair with the OW. Really, the only remorse I see from the MC is for getting caught. He is an absolute loser and does not deserve forgiveness. FYI: Using a pregnancy as a vehicle to bring characters back together is lazy writing, especially when one character is a nasty cheating piece of selfish work.

Do not recommend
I love a good redemption story, but this was not it. His reasons for betrayal seemed like an afterthought. He didn't grow or learn. He wasn't worth the work of staying with him. The entire thing fell flat and was completely unsatisfying to read.

Yeah . . . This wasn’t great. I was in the mood for a cheating/groveling quick read, but this wasn’t it. The set up was great: wife walks in on her husband’s PA giving him a bj under his desk at work (with some excellent scurrilous details).
The problem is how the rest of the story unfolds, with cookie cutter characters and shallow character inner monologues on what went wrong. The MMC is an ex-NHL rookie whose career-ending knee injury forces him back to a mundane job in his hometown, while his wife is painted with even less detail, basically just the sweet high school girlfriend who’s always backed him lovingly and followed his lead.
While the MMC opts for therapy to get to the root of the reasons why he cheated in spite of loving his wife, she decides to address the problem by going out on a date with a random dude she literally just ran into.
His therapy drags out even though the answer as to WHAT WENT WRONG is glaringly obvious: He spent his early adulthood forming his identity around being an NHL player, and when that was stripped, set his sights on a happy family life with his childhood sweetheart in his hometown. Problem is, even that dream is falling apart due to infertility issues. Speaking of which, the fact that they’ve been struggling with infertility for nine years (she’s had three miscarriages) is barely addressed. And believe me, having gone through four years of infertility issues myself (and god help me if I’d been struggling with miscarriages as well), that tends to distort and overshadow EVERYTHING: your self-worth, your faith, your marriage. And it’s just as hard on the man.
The fact that these issues were not touched on at all as a reason for his infidelity was a total oversight and missed opportunity. Honestly, it could have saved this banal story about a bored ex-jock taking his wife for granted and elevated it to a reflection on how fertility issues can take a devastating toll on a marriage. (Also off-putting is that it’s implied that after nine years of trying to get pregnant, she conceived one month prior to the bj, the night her husband, who she explains is usually tender during sex, gave her a major “guilt pounding” having let his PA kiss him just hours before.🤦♀️)
And don’t even get me started on the “secret baby.” It’s a secret for like the first four months of her pregnancy. And it’s a secret only because they’ve split up, he’s moved out, and she’s still (justifiably) pissed she caught him with another woman’s lipstick smeared all over his dipstick and has no desire to track him down and tell him, “Congrats, your guys can swim.” (It’s not the classic romance definition of a secret baby where she runs off and he discovers he has a child years later with all the ensuing drama.)
In fact, that pretty much sums up my disappointment with this whole book. Such a juicy beginning and such lukewarm drama, groveling, and redemption. Sometimes we just need a story that makes us hurt so good. Unfortunately, this wasn’t it.

It's fine
Ellie & Jackson together since high school, have a good marriage.
No outward signs that anything is wrong. Nothing inward either, at least not that is shared by the author.
Until one day, Jackson makes a "mistake"
And then, a month later he blows up his marriage. Literally, but not with pyrotechnics. Ellie leaves and files for divorce, Jackson spirals. Oh, and she's pregnant. With the baby they've been trying for for 6 years.
This isn't groundbreaking, nothing new really other than there's nothing given by the author that would alert the reader as to why Jackson cheats or even that he's going to until his first mistake. But you don't find out about that until after the blow up. There's no miscommunication, no absences, late nights etc.
Jackson gets therapy but it isn't detailed, we get a few sentences but no specifics.
There isn't a ton of internal angst or self flagellation. It's there but not like some books where it's as if you're reading their journal.
I kind of miss that in this book actually, because it gives me a true feeling that there is remorse. I mean, yes, some books it's over the top repetition. I guess I like a moderate amount of self flagellation lol.
I wish we got to see them together in counseling but we don't.
What Ellie sees really stuck with me. Especially certain aspects, and I wanted that to be addressed but it wasn't.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sometimes the phrasing is odd. It's set in small town northern Michigan, but I don't think the author's first language is English. Not a big deal, just distracting.
Decent read.

2.5 boring stars
There were so many cop outs in this predictable, boring little book.
❌the h (Ellary) is pregnant (they’ve been trying for years and she’s had miscarriages) so she’s excited to tell her husband, the Zero (Jackson). She arrives in his office in time to see him coming in his assistant's mouth as she gives him a blow job. Since the h got her pregnancy confirmation the very day she discovered the cheating, it felt like we were building up to a big reveal about the baby. The bastard would find out he’d screwed up so much more than just his marriage. Instead, the author has him see her one random day in the grocery store (at two months along) and just know she’s pregnant. It completely stole a really emotional conversation
❌ the assistant the Z cheats with, quits her job and leaves town in record time (basically before the H’s pants are even pulled up or he’s wiped her pink lipstick off his cock) which ngl is kind of a relief (if you're afraid of gut punches), but a total cop out. In books like this angst should be top priority. The OW causes absolutely no tension
❌The h initiates a divorce and then calls it off at 80% so it felt like seeing a lawyer was just her throwing a reactive tantrum rather than making a serious decision
❌This couple can’t get a quickie divorce because the h disclosed the pregnancy (state law), and are together a lot because of the pregnancy. Everyone knows in cheating books a baby is nothing but a plot device to keep two people tethered to each other, so another cop out
❌ we get the dullest therapy sessions, where the Z somehow comes to the conclusion that he cheated because of a loss of appreciation. He was briefly an NHL pro, then hurt his knee and became a small town paper pusher. Apparently his assistant on her knees made him feel like a star again 🙄. Unfortunately we never saw any of that worshipful relationship or the work that lead to his epiphany. Another cop out
❌ couples in these kind of books never talk to each other about anything that matters, and these two were no different. I suppose the philosophy is that actions speak louder than words, but all the angst is in the anger, the pain, and tears so not laying that out on page is a cop out
Cutesie little ending with them: having sex for the first time on page, moving back in together, him re-proposing with a potato chip ring, and a gender reveal party 🤢. But it just wasn't serious enough. The h was giving a cheater a second chance ffs and this author was happy with fluff. IMHO the tone of this book would have played better with emotional cheating or 'just' a kiss cheating

I have issues with this story.
I didn’t rate this so low because he cheated. I rated it low because I think his reason is BS and the story does a horrible job focusing on the stuff that matters.
We never really find out a why until 85%. They weren’t having problems. They weren’t arguing. He said that she and their marriage was perfect. She said she thought so too.
He saw someone he was attracted to. They got close. He cheated. He admits later something was missing in their lives. Why wouldn’t you talk to your wife, the woman you were in love with before cheating? He felt guilty about the kiss and then just boom BJ and he’s smiling with her about it.
We see none of the work. None of the therapy. We don’t get a conversation where he explains to her why he thinks he cheated. They allude to the fact he felt unfulfilled because he lost hockey FOREVER AGO. So I guess she is lucky it didn’t happen sooner.
She doesn’t make him work for it. He just helps her with the pregnancy. This is the bare minimum my dude.
Also the OW “felt horrible about it and wanted to apologize”? She knew he was married. She had been to their house for cookouts. She pursued him. That was a copout way of getting her out of the way early in the story.

In terms of the writting, wasn’t that bad although not phenomenal, its very repetitive at times.
The plot it self? Terrible. Its the problem with cheating books, they all the same.
Fmc takes the mmc back in no time, this one doesn’t even understand why he cheated, i dont think even him understands why. The whole “something wasn’t enough” wasn’t clear what it was, and it looked a lot like it was the fmc.
He enjoyed cheating, he was grinning while it was happening, that line that he said, that was him clearing saying his wife didn’t satisfied him and his assistant did, and that was not adressed at all.
If the fmc didn’t catch him, it would have without a doubt turn into a long on affair because just like it was said, he was escalating and may i just point out… he just got a blow job sees his wife and asks what is she doing there?? What the fuck?!
But of course the fmc has to be weak and pathetic to take him back after some mediocre signs that his changed and believes him blindly again.
I just want a good cheating books to read
I don’t believe they exist anymore, besides the fractured series there isn’t good cheating books there

A realistic porty
I really enjoyed this book. I read the previous reviews and I don’t agree that “why” he cheated was never explained. It wasn’t anything about the OW or an emotional affair, it was his own insecurities about losing his hockey dreams and not being in a place he envisioned. I do think he should’ve explained that while groveling to his wife and THAT should have been told more clearly.
Also speaking of the OW, there was not hearty enough of a comeuppance for her. She seduced and pursued a married man, knowingly, having been to his house and being invited to share in a birthday celebration for his wife, and still going forward.
Simply resigning from her job and offering an apology to Ellie for any nearly enough. What could she possibly have said? I just need her to pay and suffer and be shamed and punished. She’ll do it again since morality and simply not being a whore is not a barrier.
I still lay the blame on Jackson and he paid and groveled. We should have at least had an epilogue about her.

Funny: The book blurb says 'sports' romance. How, since he was injured in his rookie year in the NHL, had to leave sports to return home and has worked for several years.
As a reader, we already know exactly how this will turn out, so the author needs to make this journey interesting. Sadly, this is boring. There is too much narration, repetition and no drama. I actually like Jackson's character more than Ellie's. The only drama is when they will get back together.
Nothing really happens after she sees him. This is 9 months of them slowly getting back together. There is silliness as she goes on a date. Then, after ONE date 7 or 8 weeks after the worst betrayal, while she's pregnant, and she wonders "why am I not falling madly and deeply in love with him?"
Way too much filler: I don't care about her daily routines - go to the grocery store, do laundry, drink tea, go through the mail, vacuum, clean the bathroom, all while she processes. Then we get the details of his therapist, her office, how it's decorated, the sessions.

This was a very engaging, emotional read; I found myself tearing up in parts. Fairly simple story with very intense but straightforward emotional journeys. I really enjoyed it.
Ellie & Jackson. She's on her way to tell him about her pregnancy, after years of infertility and walks in on him cheating on her with his assistant. That's how the story starts. She obviously dumps his idiotic self and embarks on her own journey of independance, while he starts a path of self-reflection and healing.
Unlike a lot of other books with similar tropes, there isn't a ton of delving into the "why" he did it - which is actually refreshing. He gets therapy, he grovels like a madman and he fights to get her back. No prizes, there is a HEA. Whether the punishment fits the crime, that's really subjective but I was happy with how it all worked out.

This was so emotional. The Hero was such a dumbass. This story starts out with a bang. The wife discovers she's finally pregnant after years of wife and hubby trying desperately to get pregnant, and when she goes to the office to tell her hubby, she walks in on him getting blown by his assistant.
The story of this couple's break up, struggles with the impending divorce, and then the couple finding their way back to each other again, was all pretty angsty. I enjoyed this author's writing style too. She balanced this trope nicely. I'm definitely looking forward to reading more by her in the future.

a bit repetitive but good
I really did like this story. Ellie and Jackson were a good book couple. I appreciated all the work that Jackson put into the repairing of the relationship. There never was a definitive answer on why he cheated. But I suppose sometimes there isn’t. I love that he found his way back to Ellie and back to hockey.
It was a tame cheating situation in comparison to others so I was ok with them getting their HEA.
There are times that are a bit repetitive. Them going to school in California, hockey in Colorado (though Jackson mentions Arizona at one point) and returning to Michigan. It was almost verbatim every time it was brought up that made it annoying.
Overall a decent read.

It was alright. It didn't seem like there were any new ideas in this story. The h and H have been trying for a baby for six years. The h confirms her pregnancy with a doctor's appointment, then calls and texts her husband to let him know she's on her way to his work. She walks in on him getting a bj from an assistant. The assistant does not really become the OW as she resigns and leaves the company immediately. She wants to apologize to the h. She is advised not to. The H moves out and drinks for two weeks, then begins the work of becoming the man the h deserves. There is some half hearted reflection on motivation and character that comes from therapy. I didn't feel tension and angst.

Another therapy fix's all book. Gawd I'm so bored with these books. I've read better than this and they are all so predictable too. I'm getting fed up of reading the same words.... Gaslighting and therapy. Actually that's not true, I've just read 1 where the MMC actually sailed off into the moonlight with his mistress and they all lived their happy lives away from each other. Not all marriages have to be saved through therapy. People do grow apart, and partners can end up detesting each other for the part they've played in how the marriage ends. Let's have some honest books..... PLEASE!

good second chance
The on page cheating was rough and just not satisfied that he felt more guilty about a kiss than a BJ and if he felt that much guilt how did it happen again. The story gives no real explanation. He had an emotional affair that led to physical affair. He groveled enough for me but I had a hard time with some of His POV and what was said by him during the incident. All in all I’m glad it ended with a HEA

Cheating = H kisses OW then a while later gets BJ from OW
h sees H with OW = h walks in to see the H finishing with OW and OW wiping her mouth
Grovel = h immediately leaves the H and divorces him. h also doesn't tell the H she is pregnant for a bit. H must work hard through word and deed and therapy to fix himself. h eventually takes him back.

Big mistake marriage crisis
On the happiest day of your life you catch your husband and his assistant having oral sex. You just wanted to share the good news of your pregnancy. Now your life is shattered.
Two issues:
1. Why didn’t work for 7 years?
2. Hate lying even for good reason.

Heartwarming
Well written and weirdly heartwarming. Jackson put in the work right away. They both had great support systems. And it's not completely roses and sunshine because they know, and have experienced, the bumps that come along with infidelity. I'm glad they got back together, which is weird for me because I'm almost always of the 'scorched earth' mindset.
