izziede's review against another edition
3.0
Time travel romance.
I've marked it as cheating as he has a mistress who he is with after his wedding.
It's not cheating in the same category as other books I have marked cheating as the circumstances are a bit different. ( Not that I am excusing his behaviour). But it's not the same as a spouse starting something with someone else after marriage.
Our heroine goes back in time and she finds she is on her way to an arranged marriage which is for political/prevention of feud reasons.
So they don't know each other at all and he views it as a business arrangement so he continues his relationship with his mistress.
Given the times they lived in when it was common for men to have their bit on the side and men are Lord and Masters and women have few rights.
At the same time it is distastefully done, as she is in a room near them(her husband and his mistress) and the mistress lives in her house and she is expected to view her as a companion.
Also the mistress over steps in her behaviour towards the wife, this stems from the husband's obvious distain of his new wife at the time of the marriage. He does not take a firm enough stand with the mistress' behaviour in my opinion.
The so called Hero is regretful of his treatment later and does apologize.
It was okay if you can accept the other woman situation.
