Review: So how was my wife in bed?
Rating: 2 out of 5

This was like a 2 star book for me. I liked the hero and heroine very much and the story flowed pretty well except I cannot get pass ---spoilers.Both the H and his brother slept with the heroine. The H married the 16 year old heroine because his younger brother had compromised her. He marries her and then sends her to one of his estates in the countryside. Five years later the h shows up at the H's sister party as her invited guest. The H is there and is immediately attracted to her, but does not recognize her until his friend points out that she is his wife. The beginning was good. No cat and mouse game leading to her true identity. The H starts to fall in love and looks back with regret as to how poorly he treated her five years ago. The H shows a lot of vulnerability when he questions if his wife can love him with their the age difference (16 years) and if he can compete against the other men who are drawn to her beauty and kindness.I was already put off with both brothers bedding her, so the references to her and his brother's indiscretion in bed brought up numerous times throughout the book by her and the H, by the H and his brother, and by her and the brother, turn me off even more so. At one point the brother tells the H that he knew his wife was not a virgin when he bedded her. That is the run of the mill topic everyone has at a family function. On another occasion when the H and h are having their first night together, the h tells the H that his brother's chest is the only other one she had seen. Blech. It was too much all in the family.The heroine's family was in desperate need of therapy so I did have sympathy for her. Her family background was straight out of All My Children. The father killed her sister by shaking her, her brother raped her, and the heroine spent time in an orphanage.I would have rated this book higher but I cannot imagine a hea when two brothers have carnal knowledge of the same woman who happens to be a wife to one of them. To me, it's one degree from incest. I cannot believe the H's brother aka the jerk gets his own sequel.
