SYNOPSIS
In her job, she’s an expert on men. In her own relationship, she doesn’t have a clue…
Jennifer Hunter never saw herself as the relationship type. After all, she’d spent the last two years of her life as an undercover fidelity inspector, hired to test men’s faithfulness—not exactly the kind of job that lends itself to intimacy. But when Jamie Richards walked into her life, everything changed, and Jennifer vowed to trade in her undercover lifestyle for something more normal.
That’s why she formed the Hawthorne Agency: Five full-time fidelity inspectors, hired to carry out Jennifer’s mission while she manages the process from a safe (relationship-saving) distance. But a surprise proposal from Jamie leaves her wondering if the “normal” life is really meant for her. Can a former fidelity inspector who’s seen nothing but failed marriages ever come to terms with tying the knot herself? And when she receives a frantic phone call from one of her employees in trouble, she’s faced with a choice: fulfill her obligation to the client who needs her or honor her promise to the man she loves.

No way – I’d rather spend that money shopping than paying a fidelity inspector. 
October 15, 2009 at 5:59 pm
I would not use a fidelity inspector… though some of my exes should have used one on me!
October 15, 2009 at 6:50 pm
I would rather use my gut instinct for ascertaining fidelity, and use the money instead for shopping..
October 16, 2009 at 10:36 am
I don’t think I would ever have to now. Maybe a few ex’s back I might!
October 16, 2009 at 10:41 am
No, I would not. If it comes to that then you should no longer be together.
October 16, 2009 at 11:43 am
Wow, that is a loaded question!! I do not think we can really answer it until it happens. Would I want to know? If I knew what would change? Do we have kids, that would play into my decision! At this point, I would say I would go with my gut!
October 16, 2009 at 5:26 pm
I don’t think I would ever use one, BUT this is life and you never know what’s going to happen and what will change how you feel and how he feels ! And people have cheated on each other that I thought would never imagine cheating, so I guess it’s possible that I would hire one if the need arose !
October 16, 2009 at 5:44 pm
I’d hire one to check up on someone I loved or suspected or both…
October 16, 2009 at 6:08 pm
I don’t think i would, unless the started acting suspicious. Then i might consider it. And it’s still a BIG might
October 16, 2009 at 6:50 pm
I he has left enough evidence to cause me to suspect him of infidelity, I would follow up on it myself. I would need to see with my own eyes and hear with my own ears. Tone of voice, facial expressions and body language tell alot. I would not rely on anyone else to gather the evidence no matter how much it would cost.
October 16, 2009 at 7:06 pm
No I don’t think I would want to know the secrets in their closet.
October 16, 2009 at 8:36 pm
I don’t know…I don’t think so. If I didn’t trust the person then there’s probably a good reason my senses are telling me that. I’ve learned to listen to my gut since I’m usually dead on – even under the oddest of circumstances.
October 16, 2009 at 8:59 pm
I had many suspicions while we married. Then one of my ex’s friends decided to help me out nad sent me a picture of husband in the local newspaper where he was listed as the most eligible bachelor in town. This evidence from an informal inspector helped me out of a very negative situation.
I would love to read this baook so please enter me in the contest. Thanks.

I would only use them if I knew something was out of the ordinary. Or if I suspect the truths aren’t real.
Please count me in
October 17, 2009 at 4:20 pm
I don’t know if I would use one–maybe if I suspect that my significant is cheating on me, but I’d ask him first; and if I still doubt him, then I will hire a fidelity inspector.
October 17, 2009 at 5:38 pm
No, I wouldn’t. Because I would hope that if I ever got married, I could trust the guy. Wishful thinking, I know! LOL;) Just joking.
October 18, 2009 at 8:28 am
I suppose it would depend on the circumstances but I would hope not. I would hope I would trust my significant other, and that the trust wouldn’t be misplaced.
October 22, 2009 at 1:54 pm
Ummmmm, though I DO understand trust is a very important part in a relationship,but I’m very doubtful. So yes, I would hire one. No matter what cost (if the relationship is serious)/ Hopefully, it won’t come down to that. Things are smooth sailing right now
October 29, 2009 at 5:03 pm
You never know what you would be tempted to do if the occasion should arise. I would like to learn the outcome of others who have used one before I think it would be intersting.

No, I wouldn’t. My spouse has nothing to hide, and neither do I.
