Customer Reviews

much more than an affair
I thought this book was going to simply be about a love affair with a married man, but it was sooooo much more. It had lots of other story lines running through and was very gripping. The characters were a cocktail of all sorts which kept it really interesting. It also had lots of twists and turns causing me to gasp out loud quite a few times! All in all I found this book was brilliant, lots going on but still a light read. I would definately recommend it!

Not bad...but room for improvement!
I think that Catherine Alliot has a great idea for a story here- I got hooked and wanted to find out what happened. Being a young girl and liking a married man myself I could relate to some of it. You will be gripped and some of the characters are easy to sympathise with. However in my opinion there was not enough sex and it was not particularly well written.

Awful!
I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone. It's so boring! Absolutely predictable! Awful!
