Beth Thomas married her college sweetheart, now she is
thirty-five and she has two little boys. Beth also works part-time at the local
university. Her life should be
perfect. But when a friend invites her
on a girl’s night out, and she meets a former student Dave and they share a
kiss and she realises that something is missing from her life.
Temptation waits for Beth and this could change her life
forever. She leaves the safe environment of her marital home, into the danger
of embarking in a passionate affair with the much younger Dave. But when fantasy and the real world collide,
Beth must deal with the aftermath and take a good look at her life to find out
what went so wrong and to try and put things right.
Usually I would shy away from a book with an adulterous
theme. But I am so glad I got a chance to read this one. The excellent way this
story is written makes this a compelling read and the emotional charge of a
read. The character Beth and her situation you can’t help but read to find out
what will happen and even though she is thinking of having an affair you can’t
help but find her a likeable character and show empathy towards her. Beth just
seems to have lost her way and is looking to find her place in life, and her
story is told in a very touching and moving and human way that makes her more
of a victim than a cheating monster.
Thank you so much, Nikki! I was thrilled to read this review. I'm so glad you were able to empathize with Beth despite her flaws and mistakes. Your review absolutely made my day! :)
