Description
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.

Another book I didn't like. I just looked at the picture and checked this out from the library from a display about "Summer Reads." I didn't read the book description first! The picture seems to show two happy lovers spending fun time on the beach. I thought "affair" meant their relationship was short, and lasted only for the summer. THE BOOK COVER LIES!!! This book has nothing to do with fun beach frolicking. This is about a woman cheating on her husband with a married man. There is NOTHING fun and summery about this book at all. They have sex in his office. They are having an affair why, would they go out to the beach and frolic? (Yes I skipped many, many pages of this stupid book. If I missed the part where the two people who everyone in town knows go out and show themselves to the town by kissing in public on the beach, I am sorry!!!!!) They start having the affair early in the book, leaving you to wonder is the whole rest of this book just going to be cheating and sneaking around, for the whole book? The only thing that interested me is "Will she leave her husband?" There was no passion to these too people meeting. No desire, or seduction or anything interesting. Nothing more than, he gives her a glass of wine. She describes him as fat and balding while saying several times my husband is more attractive and has tight muscular abs. So why is she cheating? She has several kids with her husband, and a new baby. So in conclusion, don't waste time reading this book for the cover, and also don't waste time wondering "what about her and her husband?" I skipped to the end, and the way it wraps up with him made me glad I didn't waste much of my time with this. They just go on living another day like it didn't even happen.
