Feeling the economic crunch when the real estate market falls, Rebecca is left to carry on after her husband decides it’s all too much for him to handle. Her sister offers a place for both she and her son to live while she attempts to figure out how to put her life back together again. Rescuing her from a horrible rainstorm, her attractive neighbor awakens feelings that she was positive were long gone.
Having a way with words and his hands means Jack, an aspiring author offers his enchanting neighbor a passionate feast of the heart and mind, opening her eyes to whatcould be. The love letters they exchange and their stolen afternoons of passion have her as confused as much as she looks forward to them. How can Rebecca give herself fully to their relationship and help her son through this difficult time as long as she considers herself “another man’s wife”?
Wow. Yes, just wow. Another Man’s Wife was not the most explicitly written piece I’ve ever read, but certainly one of the best. Cindy Jacks approach to the story – using the love letters that Jack and Rebecca exchanged as the meat of the plot was brilliant and tugged at my heart. I found myself looking forward to each poignantly composed note as much as I did the passionate interludes they shared. Ms. Jacks tore my heart out with her emotional and turbulent portrayal of Rebecca, who as much as she was angry and hurt, still had the capacity to allow herself to love even after the betrayal of her husband. Jack’s conflicting emotions with showing “too much, too soon” had me nodding my head in agreement – I could literally feel his struggle to be open and loving to Rebecca while allowing her the time she needed to see herself as much more than “Another Man’s Wife”. Predictably, her husband makes an appearance and I couldn’t help but wonder why he ever thought that running out on his wife and son was anything but supremely selfish, but thought the author handled in a fairly realistic way. I literally cried at more than one point during the story and that’s not something I’ll often do, and admit to it even less.
If you are in the mood for a passionate love story that will have you reaching for the tissues as well as fanning yourself, this story is the one you want to pick up – it’s THAT good.
