What are some of the best cheating romance novels?

Another example is 'The Bridges of Madison County'. It tells a story of a brief affair, which can be considered a form of cheating within the context of the characters' existing relationships. The novel beautifully explores the emotions and moral dilemmas associated with such a situation.

One of the well - known 'cheating hero novels' could be 'A Song of Ice and Fire'. Although it's not strictly about a 'cheating hero' in a traditional sense, many of the characters use deception and cunning, which are forms of 'cheating' in the game of thrones. Another could be 'The Count of Monte Cristo'. Edmond Dantes uses various forms of subterfuge to exact his revenge, acting like a 'cheating hero' against his enemies.

There's also 'Unfaithful'. This novel explores the emotional turmoil that comes with a cheating spouse in a romantic context. It shows how the different characters react to the situation, from the betrayed partner to the one involved in the affair. It's a deep exploration of love, betrayal, and forgiveness.

There's 'The Lord's Betrayal'. The hero is wrongly accused of cheating in his relationship with the heroine. The story unfolds as they both struggle with their feelings and the false accusations. It shows how rumors can destroy a relationship and how love can overcome such difficulties.

One common theme is the emotional turmoil of the betrayed partner. They often go through stages like shock, denial, and then anger. Another theme is the discovery process, how the truth about the cheating comes to light, whether it's through accidental findings or suspicions building up over time. Also, the redemption arc of the cheater can be a theme, if they try to make amends in the story.

Another is 'The Girl on the Train'. It has a love triangle and some actions that can be considered as forms of cheating in relationships. The story is told from different perspectives, which adds to the mystery and the exploration of the characters' relationships.

One story I heard was about a woman who found out her partner was cheating. Instead of making a scene immediately, she quietly collected evidence of his affairs. She then sent an anonymous package to his workplace with all the proof, which led to him getting fired and his reputation in tatters.

Not really. Most readers prefer genuine and loyal love stories in romance novels. Cheating usually doesn't sit well with them.

There's also 'Hidden Desires'. This novel delves deep into the inappropriate feelings that develop between the two. It's not just about the physical aspect but more about the emotional connection that is both wrong and irresistible at the same time. It shows how society's norms can be challenged in such relationships.

'Me Before You' by Jojo Moyes. While not strictly a 'cheating' novel, there are undertones of relationships changing and the idea of moving on from one relationship to another in a more positive and less scandalous way. It focuses more on personal growth and new love rather than blatant cheating.
