Publisher's Summary:

An affair. Heartbreak. Consequences. Absolution, redemption, and love... in the most unexpected places. Consequences (Of Defensive Adultery) is a steamy second chance romance unlike any you've ever experienced, featuring an alpha lover-confessor you haven't dared dream about.

Elizabeth did not plan to break up his marriage when she had an affair with her law school professor. But she did. 15 years later, she's still coming to terms with the consequences of her youthful infatuation: a stepdaughter who hates her, an ex-wife who will never forgive the betrayal, and a sister-in-law who's determined to make Elizabeth her confidante. Compelled to reveal the tragedy of her life to a nameless lover, Elizabeth finds herself forced to reconsider her definition of love, commitment, and responsibility - a process that finally releases her from the shackles of her past mistakes and shows her the way to her own happily ever after.

Members Reviews:

Moments of tragedy, comedy & touching scenes. And all the sex, which falls into those categories & several more explicit ones.

Elizabeth tells the story of her life to her lover in between (and during) their play. It's a surprising family drama with moments of tragedy, comedy and really touching scenes. And all the sex. Which falls into those categories and several more explicit ones. The play between Elizabeth and her lover shifts as she tells her story. Not everything she believes about herself at the start of the novel holds up. How that transformation happens as her lover pushes her is really unique. The relationship between Elizabeth and her step-daughter completely caught me off guard. I made the mistake of reading a later chapter on my phone while standing in line waiting to buy something and completely forgot what I was doing. Really beautiful moments. Pretty hard to summarize in a review though.

Deliciously Scandalous

I was sucked right into Elizabeth's life. This book is so delicious, I enjoyed every minute of it. It's sexy, it's poignant.

Smart, Heartbreaking, Feminist Romance

The story is told through Elizabethâs voice, cut through with conversations between Elizabeth and her current lover, who controls and tortures her (only as much as she agrees to and enjoys) as she recounts. The frame tale (the story of Elizabeth telling the story to her lover, his statements of interest and whim, and his tormenting of her) gives tension to the story Elizabeth is telling, positions it differently for the reader than one might be inclined to understand it otherwise. The lover becomes, through the telling, a needling voice, disbelieving the point of view or recasting the events through a different eye, calling into question the sole authority--or even primacy--of the narrator.

This novel is gentler, more emotionally complex, more subtle and less flatly pornographic than what passes for âeroticaâ in most fiction/film. It is more about who feels what because of whom than it is about who puts what where. (It is, perhaps, more in keeping with the root of that word, âeros,â which refers either to the god of love, according to the ancient Greeks (Eros, who is like the Roman god Cupid), or to, in Freudâs terms, the âlife instinct.â)

In fact, Iâd call this âfeminist eroticaâ, in that it does not rely on dehumanizing the participants for its effects.
