A Summer Affair
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.

I loved this book for the glimpses into other people’s lives so different from my own. The struggles of artists who chastise themselves for not being able to be the “perfect” mother resonates, along with so many characters’ various desires to escape. Great beach or travel read.

These are all great summer/beach reading! I enjoy all her books.

Not really a summer affair... the title and book cover is misleading. Not the light summer reading I was looking for. I love Elins books, but this wasn’t my favorite.

Disappointing ending. It ended abruptly and without any resolution.
By Dirsten
I like her books. I enjoy an easy summer read. But she cheated on her husband, for MONTHS without guilt, for no real reason. Boredom? Too busy with the kids? At no point did we ever see her work WITH her husband, her teammate, on THEIR relationship. Frankly, I didn’t like the character of Claire at all, as a person.
