ROMANTIC BETRAYAL ALERT!! Oh I am LOVING getting these recommendations from Margie because these are EXACTLY my trope. I love my love stories difficult. I love to work for it. Just pure intensity.
I love (in BOOKS!! Always only in books!!) to feel the worst, the pain, the shock, the fury… and that slow burn and build up where I love to feel the growth, and discovery and the second chance (which I am often so jaded that it takes some serious work for me to reconnect to the betrayer) OR the brand new (and SO much better) start. YES. PLEASE!!!
Margie: Betrayal, Groveling and Revenge. I don’t know why I’m on this kick all of a sudden, but these books are so satisfying. A couple more recommendations of authors I’ve just found – all binge worthy.
AND thanks for pointing out Maya Alden. I just found her too. Loads of books…some of which I think the mmc didn’t get his appropriate comeuppance.
Happy weekend binging while football is in the background.
MARGIE: Elise Camden “ The Humiliated Wife: A Husband’s Betrayal & Grove” <— a Kleenex box binge read. OMG what the mfc endures and rises above it. It has an HEA, which I appreciate, but I think the mmc got off too easy. I bought this one to re-read.

Frayed Images: A Marriage in Trouble Romance
THE WOMAN HE SWORE WAS JUST A WORK COLLEAGUE…

I’ve loved Drew since I was twenty years old—and after twelve years of marriage, that love has only grown stronger. But lately, the man I married has become someone I no longer recognize. He’s moody, short-tempered, and secretive.
And then there’s 𝘩𝘦𝘳. The woman whose name has cropped up too often for my liking. The woman he swore was just a work colleague.
Yes, I was a fighter. But what if I was the only one willing to fight?…”

MARGIE: R.J. Woltemas — a bunch of book series and stand alones in this theme with different tropes.
Some outstanding ones…some ok. Here are few I really liked: “Veil of Power”, “Vows of Deceit”, and “The Vow He Broke”. Very strong mfc who plot revenge after betrayal and cheating.
