Originally published at The Rookie Romance Blog.Yay! Frances gets her HEA with none other than Mr. Charles Holloway. Having recently finished Secrets of a Runaway Bride , in which our H and h feature, I was very excited to read Frances' story.Frances has taken a fancy to Charlie Holloway, the soon to be brother-in-law of her best friend, Annie. She wants to be able to find out if they would suit and Annie helps her by organising a charity bachelor auction. Frances determinedly bids for Charlie, and wins. A misunderstanding that disappoints Frances and leaves Charlie confused, must be set right before they can be together.I loved Frances before, and I love her more now. She's very straight forward and blunt, and also intelligent with a mind of her own. Charlie has the Holloway good looks and charm, he's also intelligent and wants nothing more than to become a tutor.I thought they were a wonderful couple and a perfect match for each other. They had great chemistry and playful banter.As I'm coming to expect from Valerie Bowman, there's plenty of laughs mixed with a scintillating romance. A misunderstanding acts as the obstacle between the would-be couple, and it caused me to laugh out loud.A Secret Affair is a fun, fast-paced read, with a sweet romance at its heart. It's a perfect introduction to this author's work, and I'm eagerly anticipating the next book in the series, Secrets of a Scandalous Marriage (Medford's story)!
