Secret Lives of Husbands and Wives by Josie Brown
Summary (from Goodreads): Suburbia is a jungle, filled with lots of vicious creatures.
Take the Paradise Heights Women’s League board. Lyssa Harper should have warned golden-haired DILF du jour Harry Wilder what he was getting into when she invited him to meet the mommies who run their suburban, gated community. At least he brought cupcakes. Since meeting the former Master-of-the-Universe turned stay-at-home single dad, Lyssa has been his domestic Sherpa, teaching him the ins and outs of suburban life. She just didn’t realize her friends would show up at his house unannounced with casseroles, leopard-print bikini briefs, and plans to rearrange his kitchen cabinets.
The truth is, if Harry and his wife, the neighborhood’s “perfect couple,” can call it quits, what does that mean for everyone else? Lyssa’s husband, Ted, is a great father, but he pays her Pilates-pumped momtourage more attention than he does his own wife. Her friends gossip about the neighbors while ignoring their own problems: infertility, infidelity, and eating disorders.
When Harry sets boundaries with his new fan club, he is exiled from the neighborhood’s in-clique. But Lyssa refuses to snub him. What she never expects is the explosive impact her ongoing friendship with Harry will have on her close-knit pals—and on her marriage.
My Thoughts: While predictable, this book was quite enjoyable. I was able to figure out many of the main things, but there still were some surprises thrown in. And, despite its predictability, it was fun. A touch on the sad side, but not depressing, I also found myself smiling at times. There even were some laugh-out-loud moments. I really enjoyed this, and wouldn’t mind reading it again sometime.

I'm glad it was entertaining! I didn't sign up for it because I can't take books where the MC"s are cheating or even /thinking/ about cheating.
It's a thing with me.

Sounds like a fun read — might give it a go if needing a relaxing and quiet night; wouldn't mind a touching book with a laugh out loud moment every now and again!
