Yes, What He Doesn't Know, the first in the duet by the same title, has a heroine who is married and the hero is not her husband. I don't exactly know how many readers consider cheating a no-go, but what I do know is that this novel is worth taking a chance on even if it is a hard limit reading-wise for some. There's more to the book than the possibility of cheating, and I'm not going to say if it does or doesn't happen. I don't want to spoil the read for anyone who has yet to bask in the near perfection that this book is. Kandi Steiner's writing has always been her greatest draw, which is why she's been a go-to author for me ever since I discovered her books two years ago. Cheating of any sort is a delicate subject, but Steiner handles the idea of it with equal parts sensitivity and honesty. Charlie's situation is one many may have some familiarity with, whether they've been in her position before or know someone who has. And that's the thing with this book, no one--not Charlie, not Reese, and not Cameron--was a "bad" guy, at least as far as I was concerned. Their circumstances led to their lives intersecting, and what happens is based on the choices they make brought about by said circumstances. What He Doesn't Know does end with a cliffhanger, but I so encourage you to read it regardless. Five-plus stars. ♥
