My recommendation is don't waste your time.  The title says romantic suspense, but is lying to your husband about the sleazy things you are thinking about and doing with another man romantic?  Is lusting after and pursuing a married woman when you are lying to yourself about being "old fashion" about marriage romantic?  Would you consider it romantic if your spouse treated you the way this wife is treating her husband?  SPOILER ALERT!  This is a pathetic story that involves lying and cheating by a wife, Kate, who single handedly destroys her marriage by taking a major role in a movie.  She is a pathetic character who continually tells herself she is married and loves her husband but throughout the story she lusts after the leading man in the movie.  She continually behaves in a way contrary to a loving wife.  Her husband, Mark, is portrayed initially as a decent husband who loves her, but has a very negative personality change with large mood swings during the story.  He obviously has a serious medical problem, possibly a brain tumor, but the wife who says she loves him lets him down when he needs her the most.  She is so focused on her own selfish desires of making a movie and lusting after her leading man she seems to miss the obvious signs of her husband's medical problem and spends her time blaming and resenting him for his bazaar and out of character behavior.  Then we have the object of her lust, a famous Hollywood hunk, Rhys, who claims to be "old fashioned" with marriage but manages to prove otherwise by continuously lusting after Kate and doing things he knew disrespected marriage and Mark.  They both accidentally but pathetically reveal their lust for each other to Mark during the story, but the final blow comes when their lust for each other ended up in the movie for the whole world to see.  It was so bad even Rhys could not stand to look at it.  Obviously Mark with his messed up brain explodes and trashes his wife.  At the end Rhys comes to the rescue and gives Kate a big kiss before leaving for his next big movie.  Now you will have to buy the next book to find out if Kate continues her selfish and sleazy pursuit of Rhys or will she focus on her marriage and realize her husband is in desperate need of help from the one who claims to love him.
