First off, there is no description given for this book so you can only go by the great reviews and hope for the best. Allow me to give you some background: The heroine is married to an abusive husband who has lots of money and runs the town due to his control of the logging business there. She has one great kid and one delinquent and she is beaten down by her hubby and shows more annoyance than concern for her kids who obviously are dealing with their dysfunctioanl family in their own ways but need help. She takes crap from her husband, her kids, and pretty much everyone. The hero works for an environmental agency and sees the man's wife and smiles at her after which they go to infatuation and love.OK, if she is so terrified of her husband and doesn't have the nerve to leave him, where is she getting the nerve to have an affair on him in front of the whole gossiping town (her tramp friend takes her to dinner and they are seen by everyone eatting with the hero and his coworker)? Honestly, I'm not one for infidelity, even if she is cheating on her abusive/cheating husband - LEAVE HIM. I get that he is this controlling powerful guy, but if she is afraid to leave him, what does she think he'll do if she is cheating on him? This was compared to Bridges of Madison County, but it is not anywhere near as good as that - it may be about infidelity, but it does not have the same intensity - it's just not written as well. I couldn't finish it, hope you have better luck if you chose to read it.
