The Adultery Club - Tess Stimson

The Adultery Club was the first book I read by Tess Stimson. I had heard good things about this book though, so began reading this with high expectations. ~The Story~ Nicholas and Mal have been married for ten years and have three beautiful young daughters. Nicholas is a successful divorce lawyer, whilst Mal is a chef and writes cookery books. Although Mal has a very hectic lifestyle, juggling the demands of a husband and three young children, she is a devoted mother and wife, and wouldn't have things any other way. Similarly, Nicholas loves his wife dearly, and together they have always been very happy. Things change though, ...  Read the complete review

This is a story about the classic love-triangle, with the twist that you read it from all three view points. Nicholas Lyon has been married to Malinche for ten years. He's a divorce lawyer, so when he embarks on an affair with Sara Kaplan after she starts working at his firm, he knows what the outcome would be if caught. But an affair is exactly what he's drawn into having. It's interesting that you see the story from each viewpoint, but it does make it frustrating as well. As you reach the end of each chapter, and it's cliffhanger, you obviously want to know what happens next. But the next chapter will be from another person, so you'll jump back in ...  Read the complete review

The Adultery Club by Tess Simpson would be classified as chick lit and it is a pretty good read, it is quite suggestive with lots of sexual references in itm, nothing gratuitous just a bit of rather tame titillation a step up from the banter in Sex in the City. The style of story telling used is to tell the story from the perspective of three different characters, and this is quite effective as it gives the reader a number of different perspectives and also helps move the story on into different directions. It also helps give you an insight into the differences of the three characters involved in the story as well. The main character is a divorce ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought this book during a lunch hour as I was conscious how much money I waste on magazines. I picked it up in our local book shop for £2. I have a varied taste in books but felt a simple chick lit book would be ideal for my lunch hour, nothing too taxing. This is the first book I have read written by Tess Stimson and I really enjoyed her work so will be looking out for more by this author. The book revolves around three main characters and each chapter is written from one of the characters perspective. So you get to see each situation from three different view points. This may sound a little complicated but the book is very well ...  Read the complete review

As mentioned in my review of another Tess Stimson book 'The Infidelity chain', I bought the book in a set of two; the other being this one 'The Adultery Club'...as you can see from the title alone it is again along a familiar theme! "A wife, a Husband, a Mistress. Whose side will you be on?" Simple enough question you would think, of course the wife she's done nothing wrong unlike the other cheating marriage wrecking two! right? Wrong. The story pans out as happy as anything couple Nicholas (top lawyer) and Mal (celebrity chef) get on with their perfect ife in the countryside just outside out of London. Mals best friend Kit ...  Read the complete review
