A Summer Affair

A Novel

De: Elin Hilderbrand

Narrado por: Isabel Keating

The perfect wife and mother finds the perfect temptation in this "perfect summer cocktail of sex, sun, and scandal" (Kirkus Reviews).

Claire has a problem with setting limits. All her life she has taken on every responsibility, assumed every burden, granted every request. Claire wants it all—and in the eyes of her friends, she has it: a devoted husband, four beautiful children, even a successful career as an artist. So when she agrees to chair the committee for Nantucket's social event of the year, she knows she can handle it. Claire can handle anything.

But when planning the gala propels her into the orbit of billionaire Lock Dixon, unexpected sparks begin to fly. Lock insists on working closely with Claire—often over a bottle of wine—and before long she can't ignore the subtle touches and lingering looks. To her surprise, she can't ignore how they make her feel, either. Claire finds the gala, her life, and herself spinning out of control.

A Summer Affair captures the love, loss, and limbo of an illicit romance and unchecked passion as it takes us on a brave and breathless journey into the heart of one modern woman.

"Think you know where this is going? Think again. Hilderbrand is way too smart to give away the whole story in her title."—Elizabeth Egan, New York Times

A real gem

The characters' are so real. Their inner struggles, emotions, desires and choices bring triumph to some, an undoing for others. A story about how the wrong choices could destroy you and so many others' lives .. or help you evolve into your best self.

Another fabulous book by EH

Loved the story, loved the narrator. I need more Elin books, I’m a huge fan!

Fun summer read

Performance by the narrator Isabel Keating was EXCELLENT! Overall the book was a fun read with fun little twists and turns. Great character development and writing. Felt authentic, like people you would know.

Fun!!

I thought it was a great listen! I walk everyday and enjoyed it during my walks!!

It was the people. Not the story.

Well written. I just did not like the people. Except for Jason… I liked Jason.

The language

Good book I enjoyed reading. Couldn’t put it down
Good good good
Dumb 15 word minimum.

Underwhelming

I love Elin Hilderbrand’s books but this one fell a little flat for me. I love how connected to the characters I feel in her books, but I didn’t love the characters or the storyline.

Twists engaging production perfect

This was engaging start to finish. Impossible to put down. The characters perfect charters in this story enhanced by the accents. Do not miss

Captivating!

Loved every turn and surprise. Loved it author did a great job keeping you in suspense.

Professional and moral conflict

The two affairs went on too long. Should have been resolved before the event Clare was not believable having sex 7 nights with Jason and then 4 nights with her lover for a year
