Publisher's summary

Alastair has found the perfect partner in husband Steven. Together they've built a successful life, had a beautiful child, and still behave like newlyweds long since the day he carried her over the threshold.

But all of that changes in an instant thanks to a thoughtless deed that has lifelong repercussions.

With secrets bubbling to the surface, the pair find their American dream life suddenly in jeopardy, and neither one of them are willing to let go at any cost.

Lesson Learned

This tale is a lot more realistic than not. People do all kinds of impulsive stupid things and spend the rest of their lives asking why. My husband was a chronic cheater, he ruined our relationship. Claimed he loves me, when you ask why he cheated he never had an answer. I don't know was his typical one. When a person is truly sorry for any wrong they may have committed they will never ever do it again. That much I know for sure. And I also know, some things just never mend. Why take that chance?

Good story, somewhat predictable

Good story… kept me intrigued although somewhat predictable. The female narrator was great- interchangeable distinction between characters.
The male narrator was monotone and ok when playing men characters but TERRIBLE voicing females. Was almost unbearable to listen but by the time he started narrating, I was halfway in the book.

Predictable but still a decent read

The narrators did a really good job making this entertaining. Even though I pretty much knew how the story would go pretty early on, it was still a quick engaging read.
