A Late Loving - Robyn Donald 3.5 stars
This book was your typical HR with your long suffering heroine who could never bare the touch of another man despite the horrors she endured in her short marriage to the hero before taking a hike. Though, I liked that the heroine at least had a backbone and left the marriage rather than stay with someone who didn't treat her fairly in the relationship.

The hero totally turned me on in spite of myself. He was tall, dark, handsome, domineering, selfish, manwhore, etc. Usually this kind of character makes me want him to suffer tremendously, but this one excited me to no end. Must have been the salty musky smell of him. ;)

The thing that bothered me a great deal about this story was the cousin. He's a handsome bachelor who we're going to guess has been secretly pining for the heroine waiting for her to finally get a clue that he could be her man. The guy waited NINE YEARS while she stayed with him, hiding from her husband and playing the role of wife, other than between the sheets. So what's going to happen to him? Tossed to the side like dirty laundry? He helped her raise her son for the past nine years and has been the only father he's ever known. Are they going to just pick up and leave now and forget the relationships they formed? That bothered me. Have I said that? Good thing it's just a story ;D

Overall, this was a nice cheater book with a redeemable hero (though if this was real life, he'd be back to messing around in two years time), making for a fun read.
