29. The Double Life by Shea Word

Shea Word's The Double Life starts out great but then falls flat toward the end.  I couldn't stop reading this book in the beginning but by the end I just hoped it would end.  In the beginning Word makes the characters' need for each other so palpable it jumps off the page. I wish it stayed on Dayna and Sydney's perspective. Adding their husbands' side of the story added another dimension to the story.  But it made the story lose some its fire.  Plus in the end she makes Sydney do something so stupid its unbelievable.  If you are cheating on your husband and want to be with the other person why go on a vacation trip with your husband.  You don't need to go anywhere secluded with him.  I could see if she made the character dumb throughout the book but Sydney is presented as a intelligent women.  This is a great book in the beginning, it jumps the shark in the middle, and falls completely flat at the end.
