Product Description
Seeking some much-needed rest and relaxation after a long stint as a TV-news war correspondent in Bosnia, 33-year-old Bill Fitzgerald travels to Venice. There he is struck by the dark beauty of a young American woman, Vanessa Stewart, a 27-year-old glass designer from New York. Unhappily married, she welcomes a no-strings friendship with Bill. Soon they embark on an illicit affair and find themselves desperately in love. They vow to see each other whenever and wherever they can. But on their third meeting, one of them does not show up. Once again, Barbara Taylor Bradford weaves a love story of uncompromising ardor, this time taking readers through secret trysts in Venice, Manhattan and Southampton. In A Secret Affair, she touches on subjects that will stir the hearts and minds of her readers -- unconditional love and devotion, loyalty and loss.

• Pathetic 09 August, 2005
I rated this book as 1 star because that's the least that's allowed by amazon. I picked up this book because it is supposed to be a Newyork times bestseller. Now I have realized that picking books that are so called bestsellers is no guarantee of a good read.
The book is amateurish, silly, syrupy, incomplete, devoid of a plot, and has a sudden, miserable ending.
Three things left me puzzled and incredulous:
1. How could a respectable author submit this book as a completed work,
2. How could any publishing house worth it's name publish this pathetic piece of ineptitude,
3. How this apology of a book became a Newyork times bestseller.

• Romance With A Twist 17 March, 2002
This was a book I couldn't stop reading. True, it's a romance story, but I think it's more than that. It's very poignant, and it has a bittersweet ending...all the good things that make for a great romance book.

• Whip It At The Wall 21 September, 2002
This is my first encounter with Barbara Taylor Bradford and will be my LAST! She spent more time "Name Dropping" with all of the tourist places and restaurants in N.Y. and Venice assuming we know what she's talking about. Her love scenes were a JOKE. The dialog between Bill and Vanessa were awkward and stillted, not steamy or passionate. The story jumped around too much to keep track of where Bill and Vanessa were and how they were supposed to meet? And it doesn't make sense for Vanessa to divorce one husband because he is never home and seriously think about settling down with Bill WHO'S NEVER HOME. Then once Vanessa has divorced her husband, Bill is killed by terrorists which only leaves Vanessa alone with no one but Bill's old mom and young daughter? WHAT'S THE POINT! THERE IS NO MORAL TO THE STORY. The ending just made me mad enough to take it and...WHIP IT AT THE WALL!
