Executive Affair

by Ber Carroll

Claire Quinlan is unlucky in love and fed up with her life in Dublin. So when an opportunity arises to transfer to the Sydney office of her company, she grabs it. She sets up house in Bondi with her old friend Fiona, finds a new boyfriend Paul, and is sure that her life has changed for the better.

But her new job and boyfriend are more challenging than she imagined. She finds herself falling for the handsome American vice-president, Robert Pozos. Robert is sophisticated and charming and very complicated. He spells another broken heart, but she just can't seem to stop herself...

Then Claire uncovers a corporate fraud and she suddenly doesn't know who she can trust. Everyone has something to Robert, Fiona, Paul. But Claire, who always played it safe, is risking the most...

About the author

Ber Carroll (also known as B.M. Carroll.) was born in Blarney, a small but rather famous village in Ireland. The third child of six, she often retreated from the chaos of family life by immersing herself in books.

Ber moved to Sydney in 1995 and began to climb the corporate ladder. Her dynamic work environment captured her imagination and inspired her first novel. Ber is now the author of twelve novels, which never fails to surprise her. In recent years, her writing has become darker and more twisted (reflecting her state of mind!). Her most recent novels are: The Missing Pieces of Sophie McCarthy (2018), Who We Were (2020), You Had It Coming (2021), The Other Side of Her (2023) and One of Us Is Missing (2024).

Ber gave up her finance career when she realised that she couldn’t hold down a demanding job, be mum to two small children and write books to contractual deadline. She lives in Sydney's Northern Beaches with her husband, children (who are adults now) and PJ, the family dog.

[Marianne Webb · Rating 5 out of 5]

Easy to read and liked the story and business aspect and the Australian setting

[Liz Young · Rating 3 out of 5]

Executive Affair follows Claire and Julia and their connection with Robert, the attractive vice-president of Amtech, an IT company. This book was an enjoyable read but all throughout it was made too obvious how it was going to end.A little more intrigue with a few more plot twists would have made it more of a page turner although the insider view to what happens in a big corporation was interesting.

[Sharon Metcalf · Rating 4 out of 5]

Can't get enough of Ber Carroll, yet another Irish author whose books I love. This one probably exceeded the others because it had quite a bit of suspense in the way of corporate fraud as well as the typically lovable main character, her friends and of course the love interest (her boss).
Claire/MIchael then Paul and finally Robert (her boss) & Fiona/Den then James.
