In fact, in lesbian romance there are a fair number of individuals that will not read a book if a main character, or sometimes, any character, cheats on their lover/girlfriend/wife. Interestingly enough, I read an article recently that talked about the… Read More Infidelity, Oh My!
As I was sitting on the beach enjoying the sunshine, I read this article that definitely caught my interest.
