It is a story about a hunky young man who hires himself out as a personal escort to women who want to make their cheating husbands jealous.

quote from the review on letterbox

At twenty-two Lysander Hawkley was already in a mid-life crisis. Reeling from the death of his beautiful mother, he was out of work, drinking too much and desperately in debt.

But he had one thing going tor him -his breathtaking good looks. And the frequent stories in the tabloid press bore ample evidence to his sexual prowess.

It was his best friend, Ferdie, who hit on the answer to Lysanders's problems. "If your antics in bed enthral the wives and make their husbands jealous, why not do it for money?"

And so he was hired out to rescue the cheated-on wives of glamorous Rutshire. First there was Marigold, then Georgie, but when he met Kitty he soon realised that his interest in her was more than just professional...


Quote from a chat with the fiery soprano Rosalind Plowright

    Leading soprano Rosalind Plowright was so carried away with her role as the wronged woman in 'The Man Who Made Husbands Jealous' that her fury hit home.
    Actor Derek De Lint, who plays the philandering maestro Roberto Rannaldini, was the victim of her anger in a scene where Rosalind's character, Hermione Harefield, finds him in a passionate clinch with a pretty teenager.
    Rosalind had to hurl a silver candlestick at the cheating Rannaldini. Instead of sailing over him, the candlestick hit Derek on the back of his head.
    'Hermoine is a fiery temperamental diva. When she walks into the music room to find her lover - shall we say entwined - with a young girl on the floor at the foot of the grand piano, she loses her cool and starts throwing things.     One probably would throw things if they saw what Hermione saw,' says Rosalind.
    'It was a fun scene to do. First, I throw a load of music on him, then I hurl a candlestick. I was told to throw it at the wall above Derek, and that is where I was aiming. But instead it hit Derek on the back of his head causing a bump, which he wasn't very happy about. So I had to be a little more careful, and a little less vicious.'...
