It's funny, though, when you go 'indie' you don't do it alone. Someone once said you jump off the cliff and build your wings on the way down. This is an exciting, thrilling and terrifying time for me. Or some books like Amanda Quick can be re-recorded with better narrators, so that the books can be enjoyed.After many years and many kinds of publishing, I have decided to go full indie. I wish some better author's back catalogue would be on. I think I bought this book to act as a time filler until the next mary balogh /lisa kleypas novel. Everyone seems to have an issue with all the other people in the novels, so you just get a lot of negativity. I just don't understand the point of the story. What character would you cut from An Affair in Winter? It's the bad story that is driving the speed, as I am trying to get to any part of this novel that might be interesting. I have increased the speed to move the book along, so am not getting the best from her voices. Which character – as performed by Danielle O'Farrell – was your favorite? This is a modern story and it is outside of the era. I am not sure why she places them in regency times.

This could just as easily be a contemporary novel. The h/h have sex after having dinner in the second chapter and they expect it to be a one night stand. This book is even faster than most modern relationships. It would be nice if the h/h aren't the most beautiful people on earth and that their attraction is the only thing they have in common. What could Jess Michaels have done to make this a more enjoyable book for you? Then it's just a series of sexual encounters that take the place of character development. She doesn't even bother to do any character development after she has the h/h have sex. I use to really like this author, but she has gone downhill in her writing.

That takes care of the first half of the novel's plot. I can just keep repeating the marriage was bad, the marriage was bad, the marriage was bad. How many times do they have to explain that the marriage was bad to have the reader understand the marriage was bad. I am half way through and it is the 8th time someone has explained the widows bad marriage. It was a lot of navel gazing and repeating of the same thing. What disappointed you about An Affair in Winter?
