Summary

Best-selling children's book writer Angelica is amused and flattered at the attention of Jack, the owner of a vineyard in South Africa, whom she meets at a dinner party. With his easy charm and reputation as a ladies' man, Jack makes her feel good about herself - surely it can't do any harm to indulge in a mild email flirtation?

Wonderful

This is is a must to read book. I was smiling and laughing through this book, which was enhanced by the fabulous reading of Jilly Bond. I was able to visualise the story as it was laid out. Highly recommend this book

Thoroughly enjoyable!

Beautifully constructed, it flowed perfectly; and I lost myself in the characters and plot. Highly recommend, it made me laugh out loud in parts! Going to listen to another Santa Montefiore novel... Blissful!

Intelligent ish

I didn't like the lead character. Found the love element unconvincing... good bits but for me it just didn't ring true

Took some effort to Finish

This wasn't my favourite by the author and I found myself wondering whether I'd ever get to the end. I did stick with it, but can't really say I enjoyed it and it was worth the effort.

Loved it!

Angelica is a happily married woman, or so she thinks. She has the perfect life, a husband she loves, and two children she adores. She lives in a beautiful house in London, has a fulfilling career as a children's author with enough time left over to do lunch with the girls.

Then Jack, a handsome South African man walks into her life turning her world on its head.

I thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. The story started off a little slow but then drew me in until I was hooked. This was enhanced by the narrator, Jilly Bond, who gave the story life. Every voice in the story was very well portrayed, with much care even given to the minor characters. eg. when Angelica gets together with her girlfriends each and every one of them was given a very distinctive voice and their personalities were brought to life.

Lovely story, and I agree moral undertones. Very enjoyable. Hope this helps:)

The Affair

This was a most enjoyable book to listen to. The reader was excellent. There was also a moral throughout the story.

Easy listening

Overall I enjoyed this book, however I struggled a bit with the narrator's voice for Angelica. I felt it made her sounder older than she was.
