Lisa Suzanne you have me truly conflicted. Yes, you couldn’t have picked a better name to go with this book. Conflicted sounds about right especially when you are dealing with the subject of martial infidelity.

It was soul-crushing passion that I felt for him, and even when I hated the hell out of him, I never really disliked him.”

Before I begin my review, I want to let you know that I very rarely read books that deals with the subject matter of infidelity. Why? I would always feel bad for the other party that is getting lied and cheated to. It breaks my heart. No person should be made a fool of. Although this book is of fiction, Lisa Suzanne writes Conflicted in such a raw realistic way that your hearts will be racing and at the same time furious at the heroine for her choices. But these choices are of her own. They are her flaws, her truth, her secret, her lies, and her want. There is no perfect person. We are all human. And so Lisa Suzanne will capture every vulnerability, heartbreak, confusion, and passion with her fervid and detailed prose.

#Conflicted

If you are not a fan of cheating, then this book is not for you. If you are brave enough to read this book and explore the mindset of a woman who willingly knew the consequences of her choice, then go forth and read this book. Conflicted honestly leaves me conflicted because in the manner of how the heroine, Lucy Clearly decided to go about her affair. Is she at fault? Absolutely. Is Cole Benson, the man she is having an affair at fault too? Absolutely. Is the husband at fault? There will be readers who would think he is partly to blame because he didn’t give his wife the affection and attention she needed so it excuses her for her action. And there are readers like me who are conflicted in the sense of how none of this drama should of happen in the first place if there was honesty and communication. But hey, we are human and we all make decisions that will shape and guide us.

The lust and desire between us had been pent up for far too long, pushing us both toward our climaxes nearly instantaneously. It was too good, too sweet feeling him move against me, inside me.”

This is one story where I find it hard to write a review because this book is told in the perspective of the heroine Lucy Clearly. Lucy finds herself in a marriage that was stagnant. Her husband and her were like roommates since he was always busy working. And so when Lucy gets assigned to her new boss, Cole, she felt a strong pull to him. She knew it was wrong to lust and want him because she was married but at the same time she wanted him. So when Lucy finally crosses that line of betrayal, does she have guilt for her action? Or does she feel conflicted for not feeling guilt at all?

Everything he’d done had been for me, and I’d been blind to it, lost in my own selfish thoughts that he was choosing work over me when he’d been putting me first all along. He deserved better than me. He deserved a faithful woman who would always put him first. When we’d said our vows to each other, I thought I was that person. I’d worked hard to be that person, and I probably would’ve kept being her if Cole Benson hadn’t stepped foot into my life. It was too late now. I’d navigated a course that I couldn’t return from. I’d strayed too far from my husband and from our marriage, and I deserved every cut and crack that slashed my heart.”

Yes, cheating is very wrong. We all know it but the way Lisa Suzanne wrote this story allows readers like myself to understand the mindset of Lucy as to why she crossed that line to have an affair. Whether you agree or disagree with Lucy, it allowed each of the characters to grow in a sense. View their own faults and imperfections. Nothing is hidden. Every lie, deceit, secret and truth are exposed in such a raw gripping manner. Conflicted is more than a romance story for me. It is a story of lessons and consequences. It is a story of growth. It is a story of love. It is a story of life. So if you are ready to get conflicted and be lost in a story where happiness, sadness, and passion are all heartrendingly intertwined then I would definitely recommend you to read this book.
