This is a good story.
The book is a bit dated, ideas of motherhood, careers are old fashioned but the issue of cheating is explored well.
The Hero and heroine had a happy marriage but they were best friends rather than swept away with love.
Both had been bitten in the past so we're happy with that.
The Hero starts to feel dissatisfied with their relationship and tries to sort things out but difficult circumstances and life get in the way so instead he is flattered by the attention of another woman.
There are no intimate scenes other than the Hero and heroine.
The Hero does cheat but although issues and feelings are discussed thoroughly there are no intimate scenes of the other woman with him.
We have one confrontation scene with the other woman.
I liked that the author didn't have the other woman as a psycho type as an excuse for him being manipulated.
The other woman was younger but due to miscommunication between the Hero and heroine she thought she could have a future with the Hero.
Whether you would forgive him or not the issue of cheating is thoroughly discussed, its effects on not just the couple but the families and friends of the Hero and heroine, which not all books do.


Spoiler.



He does grovel.
It's the heroine's POV so at first you are not sure of his motives.

HEA. If you are convinced there is recovery from cheating, I believe that depends on each readers view on the situation. ( )
