The book is about lust, love, friendship, adultery, trust and betrayal. Kate/Cary and Luke/Cressida are a foursome. They thought their friendship was secure and faultless. This all changed when Luke and Kate started a secret love affair. The book is written in first-person voices and lets the reader know their thoughts and misgivings - guilt, lust, anger, love and fears.
Cary is a quiet, adoring husband, loves Kate without reservations, trusts her completely, and wants to start a family. Kate is a flirt, a firecracker of a women. She loves Cary but yearns for Luke's love and attention. Luke is also a flirt. He is genuinely fond of women and Cressida has no problems with this - she knows he really loves her. Cressida is a doctor and her unusual long hours at the hospital leaves Luke alone a great deal of the time.
After The Fall dwells into the souls of two young devoted couples that let lust destroy their friendship and marriages. It changes the lives of four people who thought that nothing would ever destroy the vows they exchanged on their respective wedding day.
After The Fall will intrigue you, make you thankful for the love and devotion of your spouse. It will also make you more fully appreciate that the grass is not greener on the other side.
Highly recommended - especially for those of you who harbor feelings for someone other than your spouse.
