Listopia > YOUR CHEATING HEART
A controversial plot device to be sure. Love em or hate em, books where either the hero or heroine steps over the line (however briefly) and "cheats". Can be historical, contemporary, whatever.

Who cheated in Lover Eternal? I think I remember Rhage went out to a club while Mary was waiting for him back at the mansion. He cheated on her then? Say it ain't so?!?!
Another one I have no memory of cheating going on. Who cheated in Desire Unchained? I've read Shade and Runa's book a few times. What??? Who???
OK, Shade DID cheat on Runa, but I still don't remember Rhage cheating. Where's our BDB experts? Lenore, Mel, Beanbag? He cheated on Mary?
Yes, it was Rhage because he needed to keep his dragon under control.
Rhage and Mary weren't technically 'together' when it happened. He didn't feel right about 'using her' to tame his beast so he went out one night while leaving her at the mansion to take care of his needs with some random bar fly.
I just re-read Rhages book so that I remember, but Lover Awakened I do not remember Zsadist cheating or even Bella. That was my favorite of the series. I need to do some re-reading cause I do not remember Rune or Shade cheating as well.
Hi Guys, thanks for voting!!Here's what I know about BDB cheating;
Zsadist (kinda) cheated when he bit that prostitutes neck in the alley and fed from her in front of Bella -god that was heartbreaking. Plus he wanted Bella to "be" with his brother because he felt Phury was a male of worth.
Rhage cheated on Mary (early on) because he felt she wouldn't be able to handle his beast and he needed sex to keep it quiet.
I added Lover Unleashed because who really knows what happened between V and Butch in that penthouse during V's healing session or especially afterwards when they lay down together for a cuddle in V's bedroom and then showered and couldn't look each other in the eye. I think lots happened and I think about it a lot :)
Thank you for clearing that up, Buggy. :-)

Too funny about Butch and V Buggy! Is it really cheating when both Marissa and Jane know what's going on?
Hey Megan, well I just don't know? I suppose cheating is cheating irregardless. I also don't think Marissa and Jane really know whats going on between them- or the full extent of it anyways. They just think that they're close buddies who heal each other. at least thats my take on it
I'm not so sure about that LOL. But who really knows? :D

How intense could that have been if Ward was willing to go there!
Oh Samantha me too. I've spent way too much time imagining what happened. Ward is just a tease, hinting but not giving us anything concrete.
Butch and V? Ohhhhhhh.....that's freaking hot thoughts right there. I need to catch up on this series. Pronto.
Yeah they are Kim. You should definitely get caught up in time for Qhuay's book!
I get hot just thinking about Quay's book! Damn, gotta change my panties!

You'd definitely need to change your panties after that one!!!
Everytime I look at this list I think of that old country and western song: Your Cheatin' Heart will tell on you. it goes something like "when tears come down like fallin' rain, I walk the floor and call your name, " wish I could remember the rest of it.
The only one of these I've read is "Gone With the Wind," and I don't think Scarlett's crush on Ashley can be considered cheating as he did not return her affection. If there was any other cheating, I don't remember it.

Yes, I wondered if I should add it as she only cheated in her mind. Maybe it should be deleted? I think he did return her affection but he was a coward.

I can see that. The "worshipped her from afar, but too cowardly to act upon his feelings" man that she later disdained when she saw him for who he really was.

He admits to this somewhere in the book but I cannot remember where it is. Near the end I guess.

That's what was in my mind when I was thinking of a title for this list. Its turned into a great list, who knew there were so many cheating books especially when so many people seem to hate this plot device.
I always find this plot device fascinating and the characters more interesting. Glad you liked the song link and thanks for a very interesting list.
Rhage definitely cheated on Mary. He went to the bar to quench his beast's "thirst" because it always became agitated around Mary (in a good way). Yes "technically" they weren't together, but he loved her, and that counts for something. Zsadist fed from a human prostitute IN FRONT OF BELLA *smh*, which may not be a big deal in some vampire books, but I think we could all agree that in the BDB series, it's a big deal.
As for Butch and V, I guess it would have been nice to see some romance between the two, but we all know that Butch only had eyes for Marissa. Though I have no doubt that, given the chance, V wouldn't have hesitated lol. Gotta love the guy.
Sorry, just my 2cents.
Loving your 2cents SeptemberTenth!! And I agree with you on all fronts. Yeah, Z feeding in front of Bella was a huge deal (that is such a hot scence, I have to read his book...again)
As for Butch and V I'm not convinced that they haven't gone "there" or somewhere close in the last couple of books, Shellan's or not.

I don't remember it either but there was the appearance of it. Remember when his old girlfiend showed up and he was too stupid to lock his front door so she came in and made tons of trouble? I started to get irritated with him at that point.

Who cheats in The sea of Tranquility?.....Josh was not in a relationship with Nastya/Sunshine/Emilia when she hear him having sex with the other chick.
