Product Description
Jessica and Max are finally going to tie the knot, and Jessica is determined to have the biggest, best wedding ever. The only problem is, recently Max has been evasive - and when Jessica follows him and sees him in an apparent tryst with an attractive woman, it's the last straw. The next thing she knows, she's drunk at a bar, cosying up to the top rival of Max's firm, and letting some top-secret work details slip... details that could cost Max everything. The next morning Jessica is deeply ashamed of her actions, and when a series of events leads her to discover an important truth about her past, she realises she shouldn't have doubted the only man she's ever loved. But as evidence of her own indiscretion surfaces, she knows that the same can't be said about her. Is her Big Day, as well as her job and reputation in jeopardy?

The book is the sequel to Gemma Townley's previous book The Ideal Marriage. I picked that one up last year in the shops because of its fab green cover and loved it, so I was very excited to find out that there was a sequel. A Wild Affair carries on with the theme of the previous cover but is in tones of pink and is lovely and bright so will definitely stand out in the shops. Even though it is over a year since I read about Jessica and her adventures, I slipped back easily into the story and full credit goes to Townley for her writing! Writing is definitely in her blood though because her sister is none other than Sophie Kinsella! Anyway, back to the review.
The book picks up shortly where An Ideal Marriage left off with Max and Jessica now a couple, and the two of them are planning their wedding and running the advertising agency that Max bought from Anthony, Jessica's ex "fiance". I think that the book would be fine to read even if you haven't read the prequel because things are explained well (although a few omissions are made that I would have preferred to have been in there) but aside from that, I think the book is good enough to be a stand alone as well, which is very important for sequels because not everyone reads the first in a set or sometimes realise that a book is a sequel!
Jessica is as good a character as ever, and I probably liked her more in this book to be honest. The whole situation in this book was a lot more believable that in the first book, and I felt that Townley has written the emotions of the main character extremely well, as well as keeping up a few smaller sub storylines as well. I warmed to Jessica right away, and I wanted everything to be okay for her, even if she did seem to deserve what was happening in her life at the time. My favourite new character is someone important to Jessica and Max, I don't want to spoil it by saying any more than that! This character was a great addition to the book, and really brightened up the proceedings somewhat with their meddling.
If you read and enjoyed Townley's previous book An Ideal Marriage, you'll want to read this to carry on the adventure with Jessica Wild, but if you haven't discovered this author before, this book is a great place to start! It's enjoyable, funny, has great characters that you can enjoy reading about and it moves pretty quickly too, I finished it in just a few evenings. There is actually a third book due out next January (2011) called An Ideal Wife so presumably that will be carry on the story even further and I'm looking forward to that! Townley is a talented writer, and this book shows how Townley is improving book on book! I loved it, and can definitely recommend it.
