This was my first Pat Tucker book and I truly enjoyed it. The characters were interesting and the reader soon discovers that they all seem to have deep, dark secrets that come back to haunt them. It was brave of the author to tackle several taboo subjects (male down low behavior, incest, etc.) and cleverly weave them into the storyline. The main characters of the story are Clarke (married man looking for sexual satisfaction outside his marriage), Kelsa (Clarke's wife who suspects he is cheating but doesn't have any proof), and Persha (Clarke's mistress). The story really heats up when Clarke manages to devise a plan where he can have his cake and eat it too. Since his wife works the night shift and has early morning classes, Clarke suggests Persha temporarily move into his house when she discovers her condo is infested with mold. Persha lives out of a suitcase and has to leave the house before Clarke's wife arrives home in the morning. While it is feasible that there might be rooms in a house the wife doesn't check on a daily basis (this is true even in my own house), the statement that the wife insists that the doors to all rooms remain closed is a little far-fetched. Naturally, everyone knows that this arrangement blows up in Clarke's face. This is when the book really starts to get interesting and the reader is in for a rollercoaster ride while the storyline takes so many twists and turns - many you will never see coming. The book is definitely a page-turner and I found myself eagerly awaiting the next chapter. The ending was unusual but very realistic - definitely not your typical "happily ever after" Hollywood ending. I would definitely recommend this book and am eager to read more books by Pat Tucker.

Infidelity ALWAYS catches up with you..........

Pat Tucker wrote a fast moving novel titled "Infidelity". Her book left me in complete amazement. She took you through the struggles of a young woman in your late 20's trying to come to terms with love. She had some truly powerful characters in her story. Some you hate, some you pity, some you love. Just like in real life. Her people were real. I could see this playing out before me. (LOL She should do a movie) It's a powerful story about when to let go. I beleive she used her talent well to make a point to both women and men alike! Thanks Pat!
A Page Turner!!!!!!

To this reader this novel was a page turner it was very fast paced. Every time I put it down I had to pick it back up to see what was going to happen. Persha and Clarke were a hot mess. Well actually I really did not like Clarke he was very selfish and only cared about his self. He was a manipulative uncaring dog. His wife sure got him back. I did not really care for the ending, although the ending was very realistic for this type of situation. I recommend any avid reader to read this novel. Pat Tucker is a name we are going to have to watch.
