I think I am OK with infidelity in a man if it is a historical setting (mainly because historically, infidelity was not regarded as much as an issue as it is now) but in a modern setting?

Part of the point of the story is him beginning to realise that its NOT a good idea to sleep around, that being with other women was a part of his old life, and now he's found Tiola he doesn't need other women.<br />Except things happen to confuse the issue....<br />He sleeps with another woman in Pirate Code, for instance, because he actually thinks that Tiola has rejected him and gone back to her husband (yes she is married t another - for a reason, I hastily add)and in Bring It Close, Jesamiah's old flame is the cause of the trouble. She has an agenda of her own and seduces Jesamiah (who is a bit worse the wear for drink) and that is the start of Jesamiah realising he has to change his ways.<br /><br />I will divulge that by the start of Voyage Four, Ripples In The Sand, Jesamiah has stayed faithful.<br />The thing is.... he thinks Tiola is in love with someone else, so will he be tempted to stray because he thinks she has broken his heart...?Helen Hollickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04292983846350273039noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5157347784110166160.post-37671839274451147952011-07-26T20:05:44.658+03:002011-07-26T20:05:44.658+03:00I think I may have to give this series a chance.
