A Minor Indiscretion - Carole Matthews

Advantages: Romping good read!
Disadvantages: none

I am a big fan of Carole Matthews and have only just read this book. I've managed to find nearly all of her books in charity shops and this was well worth the £1.50 I paid! I took it on holiday with me in January to Australia and read it during the nights when I was suffering from jet lag. I read it in 2 days! Here's the description of the cover.

Disadvantages: £5.99?

...In a moment of madness he kicks her out and what started as nothing more than a minor indiscretion soon turns into a major affair." "...It's time for fate to play its part..." I liked this book - I'm aware that it is never going to be classed as literature! But who cares if it's an enjoyable read. I read this on holiday and it was a perfect choice.
