An Unexpected Affair - Clarice is on her way to Scotland. Getting away from her life in London, away from Allen her ex who cheated on her, allows her to learn to live. What does she do for work, that she wants to unplug, and get away from everyday life? I grinned when I listened to what she does.

What happens between them that she suddenly has the inspiration that she needs to complete her work? Derek seems like a smart, intelligent man. What happens when he sees Clarice? What does he regret? While Clarice finds herself attracted to Derek, she stays away from him or tries to. Why? When Derek's brother comes to his home, what does Derek get told? What happens after a particularly bad storm in the area with Derek and Clarice? As I listened to this book, I could picture the scenery in my mind as it was described by the narrator. There is an HEA to the book, but at the same time, you get the sense that there is more to come in the next book.
