The Affair by Tia Kelly ♥♥♥♥♡ (4.5) (SPOILER REVIEW)This is my first read by novelist Tia Kelly; however, it will not be my last. I came across this novelist, subject mention title, when I read an excerpt and she showcase the simple yet elegant cover of this novella on Facebook. Since reading the sample, I became an instant fan of her work.In this tale, the characters (Dominique and Bryant) did not have a long-lasting "affair," but a "one-night stand" that took a U-turn. The author has written a story that will have you asking yourself, "If `I' were in this predicament, what would I do?" Tia Kelly's "The Affair," is an emotional story with real life characters, which showcases 'both - - hero/heroine' dealing with the same real life issues - - - Self-responsibility and developing love in a complex situation.One thing I had only wished the author had gone in-depth about a bit more is Bryant's point of view of the after-effects of him and Dominique's actions. In my observation, his thoughts were very limited until the end of the novella. Despite what Bryant done, he seems to be pen, as a very likable person. Yet not hearing more from him and a tad more about his relationship with his wife and children, actually made me sympathize with the wife, just a little.In the end - - Sex and Lies does not equal to Affection and Bliss, or does it. "The Affair," mainly displays Dominique's point of view and that was great, however I cannot wait for "Alise," Bryant's ex-wife point of view. I hope that in her tale, we will get to know what it was really like to be married to Bryant.The editing of this story, unblemished. - - Well done, Tia Kelly!
