Review: It's not a book I'll read again...
Rating: 3 out of 5

The books starts off slow until the cheating chapter.  At that point I stopped skimming and started reading every word.  I was so excited to see that there was a h that had a real (albeit a little over the top) reaction to cheating.  I was very excited to see what path the H and h were going to take to reconciliation.  Unfortunately, I was very disappointed that there really wasn't a path, only a long separation followed by starting where they left off as soon as the h comes back to town.  The story wasn't horrible, in fact, the characters were all likeable.  I am just someone who likes deep dialogues in stories where infidelity is the main conflict.  Aside from the initial conversations the day of the actual cheating, they don't really talk about or bring it up again.  It is glossed over and the strong h turns into the mundane I'm-going-to-stay-away-from-you h while she is showing up at his house, brining his family pie and puckering up with no resistance the minute the H tries something on her.  I just wish more books actually dealt with the issues instead of going for the easy resolution every time.  The fact that the same old plot device was used to resolve everything only frustrated me further.  ****SPOILER****  The H finds out that the h had his baby and now the h is the one begging for forgiveness.  Now that both the H and the h are bad, NOW they can be together without dealing with any of the resentment, hurt or mistrust that plagues their relationship because they are even.  The book had a lot of potential that simply fell short.
