This was a good cheating story. The only problem I have with it is the title. Forced to Cheat? yeah, not accurate. I have been into this genre recently. I have been watching redit stories for months now and now have started reading these types of books. I can't really explain why. Part of me thinks it is because I don't understand it. I don't do drugs; I don't drink to excess. I very rarely do something without thinking about the long-term consequences. I can understand if you are really unhappy in a relationship how something like this can happen. What I don't understand is how someone who is happy can get into this situation. I guess the experts are right. Having an affair is like being a drug addict. People doing heroin might love their family. They know what they are doing is hurting themselves and their loved ones, but they just can't stop. It seems like that is also the case with affairs. The people in them know what they are doing is wrong. They know that if they are found out their family will be hurt, and their lives will turn to shit. They just can't stop. They end up doing riskier and riskier behavior. Things they would never do in their right mind because they are in a fantasy land. Intellectually I understand that but emotionally I just can't grasp it. I feel drawn to these stories like I am watching a train wreck. I just can't look away. In my head I am screaming, don't do it, it isn't worth it, but it happens anyway. I am a person who tends to put myself in the MCs place while reading. These stories make it difficult because I keep asking myself what I would do in these situations? How would I react? It is impossible to know. It is also impossible to know the correct answer. Sometimes I read a story and I think I could forgive a cheating spouse. Other times I think no way in hell. Maybe that is the reason I am so intrigued. Most of the time I either know what I would do or what I would want to do in a situation. In these stories I don't know either one of those things. All I do end up knowing is what I wouldn't do. Man, writing these reviews on Goodreads is cheaper than therapy. I just wrote a bunch and haven't even talked about this story yet. Basically, happily married woman cheats on her husband with a younger man. You probably want more details Overall it was a good read.
It’s hard to describe just exactly what kind of book this is. It’s not a BTB or a hotwife story at all. In a nut shell it’s a drama about a wife having an affair and the torturous aftermath. And btw, not sure what the author is trying to say with the title because no one was forced to cheat.
It’s about a loving married couple of 24 years, lots of sex, a cheating wife, an unwanted pregnancy, husband having sex with wife’s best friend , a guilty lover knocked out cold and oh yah, did I say, lots of hot sex. I guess that about sums it up.
Great story about loving wife, unexpectedly, having an affair with a younger co-worker and the ramifications caused. As said by another reviewer, not sure why it's called "Forced" to cheat, nothing forced anywhere. Also had trouble reading as no paragraphs, sometimes you're not sure which person is saying what but saying that, great character developments, you can feel where each participant is coming from. A really enjoyable book..
A fairly well conceived tale, albeit a super speedy and compacted one.Speaks to how even a good marriage\fulfilling love story can be decimated by tricks of brain chemicals ,that evil feel good Limerance!
What a lovely and erotic plausible tale. Fair consequences suffered by the cheaters but a soft and somewhat poignant conclusion. No improbable wife watching crap by a weak and depraved wimp husband.
Thank you Alexa for a great read. This book is now in my re-read wish list. A small benefit of being a long - lived individual is the joy of reading "new" books several times before the the plot and characters become etched in your RAM. By the way, comparing quality and reading pleasure, with others; I would be quite happy to pay for your books, notwithstanding my Kindle Unlimited facility. This goes for authors; Amanda Murray and Lori Donny. My second read was just as enjoyable as my first one: Only change I would make being Robbie having a 6 month romp with a young and tight young woman un stretched and loosened by late childbirth, a consequence of his cheating wife's late illicit childbirth. And for her to know this.
A few folks seem think this is a good story but the fact is the wife broke a vow she took before God if the marriage was done in a church. No man or .woman is forced to.cheat, it is always a conscious decision . Even if you are black mailed ,one way or the other you will be caught . Not only did.she cheat she had sex without protection for thrill and got pregnant. When will.she want the next good time ,the next thrill . She was obviously not happy with her husband ,she failed to.sit.down and talk with the man she supposedly loved ,and the percentage says she well.may cheat again. I say ,in this case love is assuredly blind
Several times in the beginning I almost stopped reading and was going on to my next book, but pushing forward I found an intriguing well written story that grabbed my need to continue. Smart intelligent people that are aware the train is off the track and the consequences. Yes I recommend you read it and drawl your owe opinions. Dont think you will be disappointed
It actually was a good look at betrayal but steamy at the same time. Author could write some serious angst but sexy romance. Being filled wasn’t my cup of tea per se but it’s quite a good story line!
This was a wonderful story, I think about it. My wife and I discussed it after reading, I have only read one other story by Ms Noah, and loved it.please if you want a great story read this one
