All I have to say is ARE YOU SERIOUS? After reading the previous books, hinting at the strained relationship between Celeste and Marcus you say, okay, parents get divorced, kids suffer, maybe take sides if they think one parent was done wrong......Well they didn't punish her enough. I read this story thinking I would sympathize with both Sterling whom I already love and Celeste who might be being unfairly judged...not the case. I have never disliked a woman more than I did her. Sterling had been nothing short of awesome from the time she turned to him during her moment of need when they were kids, up until the day she traumatized their youngest child. He was sooooo hot. He tried to be a good, attentive, loving husband (which was so wonderfully illustrated in this book), he was an excellent, hands on father and a hard worker. She still was not satisfied. I wanted to read this and hope to feel her pain, NO. She was greedy and selfish and she deserved to be shunned by her family and friends. To turn everyone's lives upside down and still claim to love them all is just not acceptable. I'm so glad things turned out the way they did in Recipe for Temptation. I was happy before I knew the back story but know I wish there could have been some happy dancing and maybe the rubbing of certain peoples noses in the situation. I was so sad for the children especially Marcus. How do you erase things like that from mind. This book was so good but extremely, extremely sad.
