While the husband is away, the wife will play…

Bradley is a good man. He’s loyal and loving and a great husband and father. But the spice is gone from our marriage. It’s time to liven things up a bit.

I’m done being good. Done following the rules. I’ve spent half my life playing wife, mother, chauffeur, and maid. Now, it’s time to play the vixen. It’s time to reclaim the woman I used to be—the woman I was always meant to be. It’s time to shake things up.


Warning: This book is short and filled with dirty, steamy sex. It’s going to speak to your adventurous side, the side of you that craves a fantasy. So, of you’ve ever wondered what if, then this is the book for you. It requires an open mind, so read it till the end. You won’t be sorry.

4.0 out of 5 stars A short, hot and sweet read all in one
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016

This book was a short, hot and sweet read all in one.

Jasmine our main girl is at a bar, and she expresses that her husband and her, are having problems in their marriage. She's at a bar seeking something new and exciting and just wants to experience some kind of burning desire, so she can return back to her husband a new woman.

Soon, a man comes into the bar and Jasmine sets her sights on the handsome stranger and I don't want to say anything more without giving away the plot, but this novella has much going on in the few pages. The author had honestly put a smile on my face by the end of this book. Warm fuzzies.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 Steamy Stars
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016
The Affair was a steamy escape story encapsulated in a short and entertaining package. There’s no surprise this story is about straying outside a relationship. What caught me off guard though, was the way in which the plot panned out. On the surface, what you are privy to is a night of abandonment. A night filled with steamy, fantasy worthy scenes involving a woman who was looking for assurance she hadn’t lost her sensuality.

As I read this story, my first impression was there being an air of mystery as to what was really going on. The depth of the plot was in what was not being told with the main characters consuming both the action and the story. This is one full on vanilla steamy scene which took me on a roller-coaster ride I would normally not opt for as the main premise for a story.

I had numerous scenarios pertaining as to what would make sense beyond the affair. My thoughts bounced from innocent to catastrophic. Waiting for one of many potential consequences for their actions to hit either of them kept me on edge. The final twist freaked me out validating the suspense and making the story complete.

Jasmine was a character that was easy to like and connect with. Wanting to side step her mundane life as a wife and mother were thoughts were understandable. Not condoning what she was planning, but it was her desperation to recoup the person she was prior to being married, that evoked empathy. Put aside her risqué plan, it was her awkwardness and determination to succeed that were endearing.

In our busy lives, an addicted reader needs a quick fix every now and then. The Affair as a story that you will be able to squeeze into an easy 30 minutes. It will leave you smiling long after you finish reading!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great short story
Reviewed in the United States on December 14, 2016
I love J.C. Valentines books. This book was a very short sweet story. It is about a couple that got so caught up in the everyday routine that they needed a little spark in their life. That is all I will tell you on that subject.

“Jasmine” was at a bar waiting for the right man to come in. She wanted one night to feel sexy, wanted, and desired. She had lost that in her marriage. Being a wife and a mother can do that to a girl.

When Will walked in he took her breathe away. She knew he was the one she wanted to spend the little time in the sheets with. There is more to this story then meets the eye. A spark is lite and passion is kindled. It is truly a story you do not want to miss out on.

Though I received this book I reviewed it welling. I was happy to see another one of J.C. Valentine’s books come out. She truly is an amazing author.

4.0 out of 5 stars 3.75 stars--entertaining but predictable
Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2016
3.75 stars-THE AFFAIR by J. C. Valentine is a contemporary, adult novella that focuses on a woman we know only as Jasmine. Jasmine’s married life has fallen into a rut, and our heroine searches for some sexual excitement in her life. Enter ‘Will’, a gentleman she meets at a local bar, and the man who is about to make her fantasies come true.

Told from first person point of view (Jasmine) THE AFFAIR is a very quick read; an erotic short story that focuses on a one night stand between two people looking for a night together to explore their sexual wants and needs. The premise is entertaining but predictable; the $ex scenes are erotic and intense but we know very little about either character other than their desperate coupling and desire.

THE AFFAIR will make you blush; make your heart beat a little faster; and give you the warm fuzzies when all is said and done.

This story is packed with smokin' hot content, just a touch of a suspense, and is sure to leave you saying WOW!!!

Highly recommend you give this one a chance, it will take you on one hell of a literary ride!!
