Description

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." —Elisabeth Egan, New York Times

Ok storyline but writing is not PC

Easy listening storyline. Enjoyed the characters but was shocked by the use of derogatory terms for indigenous people and people with differing needs. Embarrassing!

a long winded affair

This book would have been much better if it were half as long. It was an okay story and the narrator was good, but it seemed to drag on and on. That may have been due to the author's habit of using repeating phrases throughout the story. Overall, just an average listen.

disappointed in story line

The lead character's name in the description is wrong! Get it right. It's not Sheila Crispin Cook; it's Claire Danner Crispin. When reading the description, I didn't see that Claire has an affair. My mistake. Therefore, I was very disappointed, as I believe in fidelity. SPOILER ALERT (so quit reading if you don't want to know) - There were no repercussions, other than her guilt. Sadly, that mirrors real life sometimes. Narrator was great!

Why not to have an affair! Summer or not!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Only of they were looking for a light read or if deciding whether an affair would be a good idea!

What other book might you compare A Summer Affair to and why?

I can't think of another book to compare it with at this time.

What about Isabel Keating’s performance did you like?

She played her character role very well. In a lot of respects I did not like her but if I could peel her layers of snobbishness away I think there was a good person underneath.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No only because I don't have the time.

Any additional comments?

I found it not one of Elin Hilderbrand's best books. I have almost everyone now so I would put this on the lower end. It it about A Summer Affair and by the time it came to a close it was more about why not to have one. There were sad parts for me; friendships were lost; people were hurt; it became a vicious cycle. I did like the Galla Event and it's purpose. That kept my attention better than the affairs. Again I am not saying it was a bad book but the affairs were too drawn out.

a summer drag

Tediously long with unlikable characters of weak dispositions, poorly written, repetitious sentences altogether unenjoyable and the first audio book of over one hundred I have listened to that I failed to finish due to boredom.

Skip this one

I did not enjoy this book and contemplated not finishing it but did want to see how the trainwreck ended. I didn't like any of the characters and the whole storyline got tiresome.

Disappointing

After listening to the first six books {which were great) along. Comes this story with a shallow plot and monotone narration.

On to the next one hoping it is better.

Audiobook Spree

Deep into book #8 or more from Hilderbrand. And believe my least favorite. Less plot and character development than other works. Perhaps more predictable - still good beach read.
