First of all, I have to warn you, this book is about infidelity. I don't want to read anyone's review where they give the book less stars than it deserves because there was cheating going on. Because, let me tell you...there is cheating and if that bothers you, it's probably best you don't read it, rather than be all stupid and give it a bad review because you thought it probably wasn't really noticeable or some other lame excuse. Nothing irritates me more than a review that starts out, "I hate reading about such and such... but I read it anyway. 1 star." That's bull crap and you know it!Off my soap box now. I LOVED this book. I loved everything about it. Even the affair. No, especially the affair, because without it, we wouldn't have had such a touching story. I understand that this book was previously published with an unhappy ending. The version I read is HEA. I would love to go back and re-read it with the alternate ending, because let's face it, HEA doesn't always happen in real life. But I understand the author's decision to change the ending.Troy was a freaking saint. Okay, okay, he couldn't have been that much of a saint if he slept with another man's wife. But...he had the patience of a saint. :) Troy and Shayda kept crossing paths -- and sometimes, you have to stop questioning why and let serendipity happen.I'm not condoning extra-marital affairs, not at all. But I am human enough to realize that they do happen. Invariably someone gets hurt and they're always messy. I slid that all to the back corner of my brain and read this book with an open mind and I am so glad I did.
