Anne’s got a really interesting rant about cheating heroes in romance stories. She hates them with a passion, go check it out! It’s pretty amusing.
Personally, I don’t think they belong in romance books either. I read romance books for pleasure, I sure don’t want cheating heroes messing with my fantasy that not all men are scummy bastards.

If it’s well written, I don’t mind if a hero or heroine cheats. It has to serve a purpose, and make the hero and heroine grow and elvove. That’s just me though. 😀

I don’t know, maybe I’m naive, or maybe I just don’t want anyone to ruin the HEA for me in a my books, but I hate the cheating heroes too. The whole point for me of reading a romance is to enjoy the escapism, and the fantasy, which involves no cheaters.
I once read a book with a cheating heroine and I didn’t like her either. Didn’t matter why, it just bugged me and I couldn’t enjoy the rest of the story. Too close to real life and the misery it can cause, you know?
