The Affair

By: J. L. Berg

Narrated by: Saira Ayers

There are some paths in your life you're never meant to take. Yet, by some twist of fate, you find yourself on the forbidden road all the same.

Those are the words I stumble upon when I unearth a hidden journal that once belonged to my grandmother.

A hidden journal that details a heartbreaking affair with her husband’s brother. It's a family secret I'm unprepared to deal with, especially when my own life begins to parallel hers.

Sawyer Gallagher was never on my radar. The moment I met his younger brother, I was taken. Done for. Love-drunk.

But some things aren't meant to last, and, at the age of 33, I find myself divorced, penniless, and living with my parents. When Sawyer stops by our family's antique store, asking for a job, I figure Why the heck not? Life can't get much worse.

It doesn't take long to realize just how different the Gallagher brothers are. Sawyer is kind, supportive, and, oh, did I mention sexy as hell?

In a small town like ours, I can't help but wonder if I can fall for my former brother-in-law...or if this is just history repeating itself.

Liked story

I agree the narrator was too monotone and at times couldn’t figure out who was talking.
The story was great and loved the way it finally developed

Enjoyable, but the narrator could be better.

Enjoyed the story but narrator could be better. Too monotone with minimal inflection at times couldn’t distinguish which person was speaking. No voice change at all.
