★★☆☆☆
Spoilers, I can't do this review without them.
Cheating is involved in this book, which normally doesn't bother me because I love the drama and angst. But sadly, in this stand-alone, it did. Maybe it's because I couldn't get past how selfish and immature Sadie, our main character is?? Maybe it's because the blurb was so misleading?? Nate, the husband, it's led the reader to believe he doesn't want her, and has become cold and cruel. I mean if you're married and throw everything away for having 2 bad months in seven years, how do you justify that?? Easily, Sadie is SELFISH. ***Spoilers*** Stop reading if you don't want to know more. Nate, IMOHO should of actually been cruel, not just distant towards Sadie, who he does love very much. But when it comes out that she aborted his baby 7 years ago, and never told him, I'd be PO too!! So in the process of Nate, who's trying to get his head on straight, and not confront Sadie while he's hot headed and extremely hurt, because now Sadie is having problems getting pregnant. Sadie decides that as whole two months is enough and wants to throw it all away for her neighbor Finn. Yes, you know she's perfect and since things around her aren't perfect, she's going to make herself feel better in Finn's strong arms and bed. Not to mention, that would at times be the marital bed. I was so sick of hearing how perfect things were for her to turn and cheat after two months!! Then I'm not sure if it's due to the fact that Nate's father was dying, nothing much was discussed of the affair. It was like it took a back burner. As long as Sadie still wants a baby to Nate, she can go have as many affairs as she wants. It was made as no big issue. I mean this coming from a cold, unfeeling, distant husband, that the blurb leads us to believe. But Nate is overly caring, overly affectionate, he shows his love daily. Now mind you that's approximately 2,555 days that he shoved his love, and for 60 he didn't. I think it being a story of hypocrisy for Sadie, burns me up even more. Finn, the neighbor, who's married with a child can be her knight in shining armor. He's good enough to have an affair with and possibly a life time relationship, and perfect to Sadie. But if HER husband were doing that to her, she'd want to cut off both heads. It's not even as if she's a 20 year old to forgive her train of thought. She's a woman. To me it just was like stuff was just thrown together to make a book. Love triangle. Check Cheating wife. Check Hot alpha male. Check Man with issues. Check Hidden secret, in the perfect relationship. Check. Wrapped in a nice bow. Check. Everyone is different, apparently I'm the out cast here with my opinion. If you read, I hope you enjoy this book.
