Is a week of passion enough to warrant changing their lives forever? Italian born Giselle Moore is reinventing herself for the second time in her short twenty-four years of life, trading in her bohemian artist’s life in Paris for the grit and glamour of New York City where the family she hasn’t seen in years awaits her. But before beginning her new life, she travels to Cabo San Lucas, Mexico … Mexico searching for a week of relaxation and reprieve before barreling into her turbulent future.
She never expected to meet the handsome and enigmatic Frenchman Sinclair on the plane and she certainly never would have imagined herself accepting his proposal for a weeklong, no-strings-attached affair. Giselle has never experienced anything as heady as Sinclair’s controlled seduction and cool yet devastatingly erotic commands and she finds herself powerless to stop the ferocity of their passions, even when she discovers he has a partner back home. The last thing she needs in her life is another complication, yet as the week wears on, she finds it surprisingly easy to relinquish control to Sinclair, a man she knows nearly nothing about. And to her horror, the one thing she promised never to submit, her battered heart, is just as easily captured in the business mogul’s unyielding hands.

I seriously can’t breathe! I’m sweaty, my heart is pounding and I want to cry. This book made me fall so in love with Sin and Elle. I just wanted Mexico to go on forever. I am usually capable of writing pretty good and intriguing reviews, but I feel numb and in between elated and upset. I want to hug Giana Darling and I want to slap her at the same time. I’m a HOT MESS! This book is just so incredibly fantastic. It made me a puddle of jello and gave me all the feels. I am sooooooo glad I waited to read it until the entire series was complete or someone might have died…. joking/not joking! Ok I’m diving into Book 2, God help me. Pssttt- READ THIS BOOK. It’s easily in my top 5 books ever.
This is one of my favorite series ever. This was my first Giana book and after 6 months it’s still on my mind. Giana sucks you in on Page one. It’s a story that you can’t wait to see how it ends but hate when it’s finished.
One week in Mexico, that’s all the have. Just no strings sex between two people that met on a plane. A forbidden romance that is oh so steamy. I absolutely loved Sinclair and Elle. I can’t wait for the next book!
This book was simply delicious!
1. I want to go to Mexico
2. I want to find myself a Sinclair
3. Where can I sign up for a holiday affair??
Jesus, as long as it includes our sexy Sinclair, I’m definitely down. #DontTellMyHusband
Our Sin and Elle meet on a connecting flight to Los Cabos. She’s not doing so well with her fear of flying and Sin helps her by distraction. Nearing the end of the flight, they get to talking and a little flirting. Sin let’s Elle know that he would like to see her again but he doesn’t like the thought of how much she could change his life. With that, he walks off.
Surprise, surprise, we come to find out that both of them are staying at the same resort!!! Can you say, “OH MY GOD!!” They reunite by pure coincidence at the hotel’s restaurant and reluctantly Elle joins Sin at his table. The two get to talking and Sin proposes a Holiday Affair for the entire week that they’re in Los Cabos. Where they’re not allowed to talk about their regular lives at all. At first it’s hard for Elle to get into the idea. She doesn’t want to sleep with a man that is in a committed relationship, but after talking to her sister, Cosima, she decided to give it a go.
And this is where our story begins.

Looking forward to the next book! This was an incredibly sensual and sexy read. Sin and Elle have an undeniable connection. It’s once in a lifetime. There are many secrets and I can’t wait to have them revealed.
This is the first book I’ve read by this author, but it definitely won’t be the last. She blew me away with her writing! This story immediately sucked me in, and did not let go…I was captivated! I was up til 4 am reading this!!
It was full of angst and romance and you just can’t help but fall in love with the characters. I went straight into the second book cause I have to know how this ends!
What started out as a much needed vacation quickly turns into a torrid affair. I love Giselle and Sinclair so much, can’t wait to read more.
Light, picturesque and sexy.
I loved the Affair, so much more than I expected. I couldn’t put it down and finished it in one sitting.
I do have a problem with cheating so it took me a while to get past it; but I did. I understood where the characters though which helped.
It was exactly what I needed.
Have you ever wanted to escape? I felt that Giselle “Elle” wanted to escape. She was in for a rude awakening when it came to Sinclair. Their attraction was unmistakable. Their attraction couldn’t be recreated with another. When one moved, the other did as well. It was amazing to read. The sexual tension. The forbidden. The utter heartbreak.
Wow what a start to the trilogy! Swept up in the romance, heart beating quickly, the intense attraction between Sinclair and Elle leaves me wanting more of their story. Descriptive prose, an exotic background and a sexy yet somewhat mysterious plot had me turning the pages quickly. I’m so glad I already have The Secret on my Kindle so I can jump back in.
5 HOT STEAMY AFFAIR STARS!! Get ready for a hot steamy one week holiday affair with twists and turns. Sexy Sinclair knows what he wants which is beautiful Giselle and he goes for it. These two will heat the pages up and suck you into their story. Giana Darling is an amazing author with her captivating words that keep you turning pages and wanting more.

“No mortal man should hold a siren in his arms, but you’ve given me the opportunity of a life time.”
Elle meets Sinclair on the plane to Mexico. There was instant flames! They start a super hot holiday affair. It was a great story of their time together. I fell in love with this couple that was not supposed to fall in love with each other. I am so excited to get into The Secret to see what happens with them!!!
4.5 stars
Wow….the chemistry between Giselle and Sinclair is off the charts!! Cannot wait to see what the rest of the series has in store for these two!
This is my second read from Giana Darling. She has managed to create a beautiful world in Mexico… Her descriptions of everything, right down to the characters eye color, is a talent that I wished I possessed. I felt like I was watching a movie rather than reading a book it was that good. I enjoyed watching the characters develop, watching them go through their different emotions. And with the way Giana writes… I FELT those emotions. I’m looking forward to book 2! Definitely recommend this one.
Great story! By the title, we know there’s an affair. What the title doesn’t portray is the depth of characters- backstory that we only glimpse in this book, carried on to the next. Be sure to have The Secret and Consequences on standby when you start!
The Affair is a hot forbidden romance full of sexual hunger and angst. I finished this in one day, I couldn’t stop reading.
Elle is an artist moving from Paris to New York, but before her big move, she takes a little break in Cabo San Lucas. Although she planned on a simple and relaxing vacation, Elle runs into an irresistible man on the plane.
She becomes his siren. Sinclair is all alpha male with demons in his shadow. He’s warm and kind one minute, and then cold and reserved. He made a promise, but all promises go out the window because of Elle.
They agree to a steamy holiday affair. They also agree to not share anything personal, but lines get blurred. So much passion gets released in only a few days because the affair has a timer.
This book is so erotic. There isn’t that much BDSM involved, but Elle is curious and interested in that lifestyle. I can’t wait to see what happens in book 2.
