"A brilliant take on the craziness that is suburban America"

***

In the postcard Connecticut town of Cannondale, financial status is followed closely by social standing. Nowhere is this battle more fiercely contested than among the housewives of Fairfield County. Attending yoga classes at the trendy studio in town-taught by the sexy and mysterious Yogi Jack-is part of every elite woman's routine. It allows them a daily escape from the madness of their over-scheduled lives. But the inner peace that yoga brings is only part of the appeal: many of the women come for Yogi Jack, the studio's sexual energy, and the seductive in-class adjustments.

***

In his private sessions, Yogi Jack provides services above and beyond the usual realm of warrior pose, downward-facing dog, and shavasana. One-on-one time with Jack is increasingly sought-after by every one of his female students, from women looking for a deeper stretch to those seeking an entirely different kind of experience-a sexual awakening.

***

As high-profile magazine editor Elizabeth Kelly and her realtor sister Abigail Davis-Powers soon discover, their little affluent town is not at all what it seems. Hidden behind the immaculately designed houses and their posh facades is the dirty laundry of the housewives of Fairfield County. Drama, jealousy, and intrigue emerge as the women delve deeper into the greedy, status-obsessed underbelly of Cannondale. And when one dark secret finds the light of day, it will threaten to change their lives forever.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Ann Lineberger cooks up a devilishly delicious blend of yoga, sexcapades, McMansions, videotapes, and a roaring bonfire of intrigue in THE ADJUSTMENTS, as she rips open the underbelly of contemporary suburban life. This scalding novel speaks to one indelible truth: people are rarely who or what they seem to be." ~ Mark Rubinstein, award-winning author of The Lovers' Tango
***
"Eastern holistic practice collides with Western materialism in Fairfield County! Ann Lineberger's keen awareness of the insecurities that quake behind wealthy facades allows her to both tweak and empathize with her subjects. Yoga isn't the only thing tying the women of Cannondale in knots in this saucy, sexy, and insightful debut novel." ~ Jacques Lamarre, playwright and director of communications, The Mark Twain House and Museum
***
"Are those well-heeled suburbanites flocking to their fancy yoga classes because they're honestly searching for inner peace--or for something more exciting? You'll find the scandalous answer in The Adjustments, a scorching page-turner that shows how a Connecticut town can be as hot as L.A. or Miami." ~ Alan Deutschman, author of A Tale of Two Valleys: Wine, Wealth, and the Battle for the Good Life in Napa and Sonoma

***

"...engrossing and steamy novel set in quintessential New England town of Cannondale. The Adjustments features Yogi Jack, a mysterious and seriously hot yoga teacher who attracts both women and trouble...drama, jealousy, and intrigue will emerge as readers delve into the town's greedy underbelly...Hel-lo hot summer read!" ~ Fairfield Magazine

***

"An addictive read, Lineberger contrasts poignant drama with seductive scenes and grabbing characters. As the perfect veneer of the Cannondale women collapses and dark secrets are threatened with exposure, every day becomes a test-how far these can these ladies stretch before they reach their breaking points." ~ BookTrib

This fictional page turner is loosely based on the yoga community here in Fairfield County. It is filled with intrigue, the inner workings of the wealthy and lonely housewives and mothers who seek to find a connection to Yogi Jack. I found the book fun and sexy.
