About this listen

SHE'S PLAYING WITH FIRE…

From the Sunday Times bestselling author of Just My Luck and Both Of You, this instant bestseller is irresistible, unputdownable and the nearest thing you'll get to an affair without actually having one…

If you loved Adele Parks's Sunday Times No. 1 bestseller Lies Lies Lies, you won't want to miss Connie's story in Playing Away

Connie Green's life should be perfect. She's married to gentle, loving Luke, has a good job and really fabulous friends. She thinks she can't be happier.

But she's just met John Harding.

Spectacularly unsuitable and overwhelmingly sexy, he's about to destroy her peace of mind and her happily ever after, yet she just can't seem to resist.

And to have any chance of clearing her head, Connie needs to get out of John's bed…

I found this book drawn out and frustrating. Not one of her best ones though a satisfying lesson.
