The Affair by Maya Banks
5.0
I have joined Manali Dey, a friend on Bookstagram, for the #MillsandBoonReadathon for which we are reading 18 books, coz it's '18! This is Book 15.
The story of the third and the youngest Anetakis brother, The Tycoon's Secret Affair starts five months before with Jewel Henley who thinks she's having a one-night-stand with a tourist. But of course, it is the sweetest and the sexiest ONS ever! And they don't even know each other's names. But, they do feel as if it was something more than a ONS.
Two days later, on her first day at work, they face each other. Prospective boss and employee. He fires her, for which there are two reasons; something which happened in his past as well as after what happened with Chrysander's personal assistant (in Book One).
In the lonely world which she and Kirk (her only family with no blood relation) inhabit, she doesn't have any choice but to return to San Francisco, having exhausted all other options, and praying that Kirk would be out on his travels.
Within the first few chapters, the story starts in the present with Jewel summoning Piers to the hospital where she is admitted, not that Piers hasn't tried to find her. Pregnant, and needing surgery, she will only be discharged in someone's care. Not wanting to repeat what happened in his past, Piers demands a paternity test as well as marriage. Jewel has her own sad and sordid past to contend with, and she vows to love her yet to be born baby girl unconditionally.
This is yet another emotional read by [a:Maya Banks|24978|Maya Banks|https://images.gr-assets.com/authors/1490067531p2/24978.jpg]. Piers' conversation with Chrysander is somewhat similar to the one Chrysander had with Theron in Book Two. And his jealousy is amusing, going to the extent of deleting the reply to an email Jewel sent to whom he supposed was her lover/boyfriend.
I loved Bella more in this book than her own, her pregnancy jokes are the best. Haha!
The story is very heartfelt. Both of their pasts have hurt them so much that they have trust issues.
A fitting end to the series.
P.S. This is my fourth read by the author.
