Fling Patti Massman

As Kelly Nelson approaches her thirty-second birthday, she is consumed by the fantasy of making love to a man other than her predictable, dependable husband of fourteen years-the only man she has ever been to bed with. At her gym, she confesses her obsession to her friends, Ericka and Kristen, who then devise the perfect birthday gift for her: one evening of extramarital romance with a man Kelly has admitted her attraction for-Brandon Michaels, a successful architect who at 40 is single by choice and very sexy. With Brandon, Kelly discovers the passion that has been missing from her marriage, and the fling that was supposed to have been a one-night adventure suddenly takes on a deeper meaning. The effects of Kelly's affair in the marriages of all three women involved, is what this fast-paced novel is about. The book captures every nuance of the ambivalent feeling that holds a woman in limbo somewhere between wanting more sexual freedom and needing the security of marriage.
