The Affair: Week 7 - Can't Stop Thinking Of You
FROM THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR OF WHEN I’M WITH YOU AND BECAUSE YOU ARE MINE
Emma discovers startling new secrets about the enigmatic Montand and fears his spiritual wounds are too deep to heal—as New York Times bestselling author Beth Kery’s The Affair continues…
The Affair Week Seven
Emma and Montand’s exhilarating vacation in France takes them from the glamour of a luxury yacht to the dangerous thrill ride of the Montand Grand Prix, but it’s the daring new levels of intimacy they share that leave Emma breathless. Their decadent getaway affords Emma insights into Montand she never anticipated when she learns more of the truth about his damaged childhood, his volatile relationship with his father, and the woman groomed to be Montand’s substitute mother. Emma longs to help him fight his demons and end his suffering, but how can she, when his anger and guilt won’t let him forgive his stepmother…or more importantly, himself?
There’s a storm on the horizon, but for now, there’s sun-drenched sweetness and the naked truth in each other’s arms. Their days together are drawing to a close, giving every touch, every kiss, every moment of sensual submission and possession a wild, desperate intensity. They only have the moment so Emma and Montand surrender to it with total abandon.
Includes a bonus excerpt of Beth Kery’s Exposed to You

4 Almost There stars
Emma and Vanni are still in France. It’s almost over! What will happen next? Will Emma fall for Vanni? Will Vanni extend the five week limit? So many questions.
In the last week Vanni’s friends talk about his past, but in this week, we see Vanni open up more and we get more of the brother/stepmother insight. It’s an interesting topic and you wonder if Vanni will ever come to terms with his issues (he’s kind of working on it).
There’s a slight snag on the race and its interesting reading about the event. I’m not a big car buff, but my man loves them, so I can appreciate the subject. Yet again, Beth Kery doesn’t disappoint and the kink still lives on (like going topless in France, oh my). Emma is continually pushed by Vanni and the stakes are getting higher and higher as Emma’s feelings deepen.
I’m so close to the end! I wonder how everything will unfold.

The Affair is the latest serial e-book by author Beth Kery. Beth is hands down one of my absolute favorite e-rom authors. She was one of the first authors I read after FSOG, and I have been a loyal follower of all of her serials – not to mention her full length novels – ever since. I was so excited to hear she had written another serial e-rom, and I was absolutely ecstatic when I was offered an ARC of the novel in advance.
So, let me just say, I finished reading The Affair last night, and I have been on a serious book hangover all day. So much so, that I haven’t been able to bring myself to start a new book – I’m going in for a re-read immediately.
Vanni and Emma are two of the most original and refreshing characters I’ve read in this genre in a very long time. The story line is creative and compelling. Not cliché or overly predictable. Even when I thought I knew where the story was headed, the author surprised me, not once, but many times over.
Ladies, we have a new book boyfriend to add to the list. Meet Vanni Montand, the brilliant and uber sexy CEO of Montand Motorworks. Vanni’s good looks aren’t the only thing sexy about him, either. His confidence, sexual prowess, self-awareness, and dedication to his family make him completely irresistible. He’s also one of the saddest heroes I’ve read recently. Oh, there were times when his arrogance frustrated me, but just about the time I was ready to shake my head, the author would cleverly weave in some more of Vanni’s back story, and my heart would squeeze for him right along with Emma’s.
Emma is an utterly refreshing heroine. She is the perfect submissive sexual partner, and exactly what Vanni needs. Her sexy innocence is unlike anything Vanni has ever experienced, but her eagerness to learn and to please, coupled with a bit of a bold streak, leaves Vanni fixated to the point of distraction. Outside the bedroom, Emma is anything but submissive. She’s intelligent, strong willed, knows her own mind, and possesses a deep existential understanding of life and death that is exactly what Vanni needs. Vanni and Emma are indisputably one of my favorite couples of 2014.
In addition to creating extraordinary characters, Beth Kery tells an extraordinary story as well. Her voice is fresh and intelligent, her challenging (at times) vocabulary, and her ability to paint a scene are brilliant. She has an incredible gift for putting the reader right in the scene along with the characters – color, texture, taste, smell and sound – she hits all the senses remarkably.

I am starting to really get into this serial, unfortunatley there's only 1 instalment left :))
I love how they start to trust each other more and they are more open and communicate more. The sex is hot, even though it a few very cretin euphemisms make an appearance.

Great build up for the last book.

Each volume feels almost like a lesson
In this we see the correct way for a man to introduce a woman to hot anal sex. He is a true dominant and sadist, but he's definitely got a huge heart.

Their days together are drawing to a close, giving every touch, every kiss, every moment of sensual submission and possession a wild, desperate intensity. They only have the moment so Emma and Montand surrender to it with total abandon.
My thoughts
So honestly, i'm really curious about this storm that's on the horizon since things seem to be in a really good place for them - but i guess that's part of what makes a series good - you're on the edge of your seat waiting to find out what's going to come next. Perosnally, this was one of the more interesting installments, since there was a lot of action.
Where we were in the last book, Emma had finally flown to France to be with Vanni and things looked like they were going to be in a good place. Personally i felt like the other shoe was going to drop since they kept claiming that Emma was lucky and no one could be THAT lucky - but as it turns out, we're still waiting. We see Vanni and Emma growing closer to each other - they are admitting to themselves at least that there are a lot of feelings there and even more than they had planned for. There's a lot of trust building between then which is key since we know that Emma still questioned what it was that Vanni was into.
So we're basking in the South of France, spending time with Niki whom i LOVE on his yacht, and a bunch of other characters whom i could do without. It's nice to see the dynamic between Emma and Vanni here especially since everyone keeps telling us about the type of man that Vanni used to be, which is clearly someone different than who he is with Emma. He's turned into this caring and protective guy who's no longer moody and i think that it's fantastic.
We also finally get to the point in the story where it's about time for the race. I've been saying for a while that i think a crash is going to happen, and i wasn't left without having that at least. The question of course is who crashed and what it means - but that gets sorted out.
I guess what i'm most curious about for the final week since i believe that there are just 8 installments - how will Vanni and Emma resolve themselves, who else is going to try to come in the way of them (Vera maybe?) and what will happen with Amanda. If there's really something looming just over the horizon, i'm curious to see who or what it is and what that means for everything. I hope that it's nothing too drastic but i suppose we'll just never know. (personally i think that Emma's preggo so that's perhaps the something but that could just be me). Anyhow, i hope you guys all enjoy!

I was gifted the series as a set. This is a review for the entire 8 part serial- 3.75 stars
Innocent yet unconventional hospice nurse Emma Shore has secured a new position at The Breakers, the sprawling mansion of enigmatic and dangerously handsome racecar billionaire Michael Montand. Hired as caretaker for Montand's stepmother, Emma expects few complications. But one night, lost in the mansion's maze of corridors, she comes upon a woman and a man she can't identify engaged in a raw, naked interlude of sexual subjugation. Silently, from the shadows, Emma watches - shocked, appalled, and unnervingly aroused.
But Emma wonders... if this mysterious stranger is not Montand, then who is it? And what other surprises are in store for her? Night after sleepless night, she's considering the possibilities. And for the first time in her life, she's not going to run away from them.
~~~~
3.75 stars--THE AFFAIR is the latest contemporary, erotic romance serial by Beth Kery. Released as an eight part serial THE AFFAIR focuses on hospice nurse Emma Shore and billionaire/racecar owner /developer Michael Montand.
Told from close third person point of view, the eight part storyline follows the building relationship between Emma and Michael. Emma’s position within the Montand household has an expiry date-hired to care for Michael’s dying step mother, Emma ‘accidentally’ witnesses Michael and another woman in a BDSM scene. Both turned off and turned on, Emma will come face to face with the man who would eventually bring Emma into his world. When Emma walks in on her boyfriend of two years having sex with another woman, Emma is free to explore what it is she truly wants.
The relationship between Emma and Michael begins as employer and employee but soon develops into something more. When Michael tells Emma he doesn’t do relationships and the only thing he can offer is sex, Emma offers Michael five weeks of sex and adventure then she will walk away. Michael will soon realize that five weeks with Emma is not enough-he wants a lifetime. The sex scenes are numerous, intimate and provocative.
THE AFFAIR is also a story of family, betrayal and letting go. There are moments of heartbreaking sorrow for a man who has lost everyone that he has loved and in return was rejected by the one person who should have been there from the start. Michael’s family is the epitome of dysfunctional and in this he is a man who will not commit to something more.
The world building brings the reader onto the racecar circuit and Grand Prix tours of Europe. The secondary characters include both Emma and Michael’s extended family members, friends and frenemies. Everyone has an agenda or a connection to the past.
The writing style is simple. There is no over the top angst or anxiety as the outcome is predictable. The BDSM premise is secondary to the storyline but it does command a good portion of the story. Michael’s persona did not scream Dominant but more of a need to control the world around him. The billionaire Dom and inexperienced sub is a familiar scenario. There are no hardcore BDSM scenes, no safe words, no anxious moments or questions of consent.
THE AFFAIR is an erotic romance storyline with a happily ever after. Fans of Beth Kery will recognize her signature BDSM storyline trope and you can’t help but fall in love with her leading characters.

Review of all 8 books in this series
The first book sets the scene and we get to know Emma. She's a caring and responsible hospice nurse who will do what is in the best interest of her patient even if it means breaking her new clients rules. Her new client is a mystery, she deals with the manager of the house mostly, a snobby and rude woman who loves to flaunt her power. Emma's patient is a bit of a mystery too, through gossip in the house rather than fact, Emma finds out the client, Michael Montand, dislikes her patient but if that's the case why is he supporting her through her dying days? Breaking the rules applied by Montand, Emma is an accidental voyeur in a scene involving a woman and a man she doesn't recognise.
Events in Emma's personal life leave her shaken. She has been the rock supporting her sister throughout her education, always putting others first. She takes Montand up on an offer she would never normally consider and starts on an exciting affair.
Both Emma and Montand evolve through the 8 books, one realising they can't do temporary and no strings attached and the other fighting their determination to stay unattached. Even though the both parties change and they get closer, falling in love, they still felt a little detached to me. It didn't feel like the all encompassing love it was trying to be.
I did enjoy the story, the background on the two characters explained their current frames of mind well, there was a good twist with the housekeeper too.
A pleasant story spread over 8 bitesized chunks.

REVIEW:
Seriously hot romance! I love erotic romances with stong alpha males and Montand is one of the ultimate alphas. He's a powerful billionaire use to getting anything he wants and Emma is a nurse that draws his interest and fascinates him. This story was fast paced and kept me up all night reading it. I couldn't put it down. This was a well written romance filled with mystery, suspense and scorching hot romance. Beth Kery described the characters and delivered their story in such a way that made me feel their emotions and experience their story along with them. The Affair is an eight part serial that I read all at once. I recommend getting them all and reading them back to back as one story. This book is on my favorites romances of 2014 list and I really hope Beth Kery will be writing about another character in this book. I think Montand's cousin deserves his own story.

I'm reading Week 6, 7, 8 back to back. I have to say these books are not my favorites at all. I will read them to find out what happens but they are not up to par as compared to her other books. It appears that the author may have written these books in a great hurry. There are a few grammatical errors which is disturbing. Sexy scene are good just still not up to authors standards. I would review these books and just bring them all together in one book so that new readers will see here real ability.
This is most definitely not worth a weekly series. This is not 'The Green Mile'. The Green Mile was a series written by Stephen King and each book in the series was issued on a monthly basis. Now that was a great read and although I suffered waiting for each book to be released it was worth the trouble and caused a lot of conversations even with strangers. This series would not have been worth my time. The cost of the books is not worth it. At this time the books are going for $1.99. That is $16.00 for all 8 books. That is a rip off. So, I say review, correct and combine all books into one really good book and try again.
I do not recommend this series.

* You are not giving found money to your sister
* to bail on this whole thing now, before she fell even further in love with him.
But the simple matter was, she wasn’t wise when it came to him. If she only had days to live, she wouldn’t hasten death. She’d cherish and savor every second she had.
It was the same for her in this thing with Vanni.
* He stiffened. Emma was right there, holding his hand. So why did he have the feeling she was drifting away from him? His gaze narrowed on her.
* She knew only one thing for certain. Despite her thoughts about feeling compelled to the truth just now, she’d lied.
She wasn’t starting to fall. She’d already landed.
Good and hard.
* “What do you want, Emma?” he interrupted as he coiled a tendril of her hair around his finger. I want to be happy,” she whispered.
“Are you?”
“Yes,” she said without reservation. His small smile made her happiness swell.
Yes, for these diminishing weeks and days and hours, she was nothing short of ecstatic.

* “What do you want, Emma?” he interrupted as he coiled a tendril of her hair around his finger. I want to be happy,” she whispered.
“Are you?”
“Yes,” she said without reservation. His small smile made her happiness swell.
Yes, for these diminishing weeks and days and hours, she was nothing short of ecstatic.

Firstly, thank you to Headline Eternal for approving me for a review copy of this book via NetGalley!
So we are now on week 7 of The Affair! I have enjoyed each week so far but I think this might be my favourite week!
This week the race is set to go ahead in France and now that the couple are there together there is a sense of glamour, adrenaline and also desperation in the air! I love the setting and it definitely lends its glamour and luxury to the racing scene. I also loved that Emma was whisked into this by Vanni and took it on like a pro!
The air of desperation comes from the characters themselves as the time limit on their relationship looms ever close and I loved that live in the moment, seize every minute like it’s the last element of their relationship.
This is by far the most explicit of the series so far but don’t let that put you off or cloud the real love between the characters which is getting too strong to ignore! I am really enjoying this serial but the penultimate week has really kicked it up a gear!

Part 7 includes Chapters 32-36 and an excerpt from Exposed to You
Not everyone is pleased that Emma is dating Vanni. Lucky Emma, she gets to sit next to two of them at the car races. Emma stands up well to the ladies and manages to enjoy the race.
Again, Emma surprises me. She's young, only 23, she doesn't come from a wealthy family, and she manages to hold her own against the snotty socialites.
Thank you to NetGalley and Penguin Berkeley NAL for a review copy of this book.

I like the main idea, how heroine and the hero met, and how they interact with each other.
I also like the heroine ad the hero's characters. It is interesting, especially the heroine's.
But I find that the development of their relationship is flowing not too smoothly... There's some part where it's too slow and another part is too fast. There's also some part that isn't match with the other.
But, overall, I quite enjoy reading this series.

Talk about sizzling hot and I am not talking about the Mediterranean sun! Loved the story and the setting by the Mediterranean Sea. It's just getting better and better. Only one more installment to go and I can't wait! I know Vanni and Emma will make this work and I want to know what happens with Astrid.

This installment was a lot more pleasant between Montand and Emma. I love the two of them together and it makes me dread where this is going to go but I have more hope that it will end pleasantly. Beth Kery does such a good job at her descriptive writing and I am going to go read the last installment right now. Gotta see how this ends.

I am totally loving this series on the other hand I'm sad knowing next week will be the final week! The chemistry between Emma & Vanni heat up with each passing week & I love how their relationship is evolving. Bravo Beth!!
