REVIEW: Morelli’s Mistress by Anne Mather

 
In Morelli’s Mistress by Anne Mather, Five years ago Abby Laurence would have given anything to be Luke Morelli’s mistress. The taste of his lips and the burn of his touch offered a safety and sanctuary she craved more than anything. But Luke’s love was off-limits, because Abby was married to another man…

Now Luke is back. He’s never forgotten Abby’s betrayal and he’s determined she will pay for her lies. Finally free of her husband, there is only one way that she can make amends… An affair might have been illicit once, but she’s Luke’s for the taking now!

A well written second chance romance about forgiveness and redemption. When Abby first met Luke five years ago, he was supposed to be an escape from her harsh reality but Luke has not forgiven her for deceiving him. He still resents her betrayal but the attraction between them still burns as hot as ever. Both Luke and Abby were characterized well and had a solid shared background. I don’t know how well the readers would be comfortable with the adultery element but according to me, Abby did have a believable reason for her actions. A realistic romance with a concrete conflict, forbidden factor and great chemistry. I enjoyed the romance overall and would recommend the same but readers who want a more traditional harlequin presents might be disappointed with this one.
