A French Affair [Import] [Mass Market Paperback]

Susan Lewis (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: March 6, 2007

Having survived every woman’s worst nightmare, Olivia Benning is now more than ready to start a new life. Everything is in place, nothing should go wrong, and it wouldn’t have, if her husband hadn’t walked in unexpectedly to find her kissing her old boyfriend.

But Olivia soon finds out she’s not the only one who has a secret. Certainly the mother-in-law from hell has one, so does her own mother. And as for her husband and daughter . . . Is nobody talking to anybody else in this family? The past is creeping up on the present, and it seems nothing can stop it.

Lilliane Devennes has never given up on her dream and will go to any lengths to fulfill it, but now she’s having to ask herself, is this a man to die or kill for?

Meanwhile, Olivia is trying to rescue her daughter from a gang of teenage delinquents, while her husband is a law unto himself.

A French Affair travels the bumpy road of treachery, deception, lust, revenge, fear, heartbreak, forgiveness and the greatest trickster of all — love.

This review is from: A French Affair (Mass Market Paperback)

I started this book very excited. Whoever wrote the teaser on the back cover really should get paid a load more money than the author. It sounds compelling and leads you into a false sense of heightened expectation.

Nothing could be further from the truth. This book is absolute total and complete rubbish. None of the characters are believable. They are even less likable. They are one dimensional. And their priorities are all screwed up.

Jessica used to be a television presenter. Her husband, Charlie, is a news reader. Their daughter, Nathalie dies. Jessica is convinced there is more to the story than she has been told. Charlie and Jessica's best friend, Lillian, try to convince Jessica that she is crazy and that her daughter simply fell down a flight of stairs whilst visiting her grandmother in France. Then Jessica falls in love with Lillian's husband, Luc, whilst in France investigating the accident.

I won't give away the ending just in case you are woefully misguided and decide to pick this book up on your own. Although I do strongly urge you not to. this is nothing more than a trashy romance novel. The sex scene at the very end is absolutely cringe worthy.

I can't believe we actually read this for the book group!
