They address romantic pairings where there is an age difference, and where outsiders might question the suitability or common sense of the relationships.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe behaviour of both stories' central characters - Marisa and Honey - is linked with perceptions they formed during childhood as a result of weak parenting. Will the women make the right decisions in love?\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarisa is significantly older than Jack, but believes they are soul mates. Honey is younger than Archie, and she falls for his charm. With this common thread, the characters find themselves drawn into romantic attachments, even though they should probably not engage at all.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMarisa has a perfect partner, Piers, just waiting to give her all his time and attention. Instead, she is irresistibly drawn to the younger, more passionate Jack.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHoney was happy as an independent woman before she formed a friendship, and then a romantic attachment with Archie. Full of charm, his sense of fun masks a heavy emotional burden.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSays author Lisette Skeet, \"I examine the ways in which childhood experiences and upbringing affect adult behaviour.\" In \u003cem\u003eA Very Inappropriate Affair, \u003c\/em\u003e \"Marisa was affected by her loneliness as a child, and her parents' failure to give her moral guidelines and parameters for her life, and Honey was affected by her mother's inability to protect her fully.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisette Skeet\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1682353176\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781682353172\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Strategic Book Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/27\/2021\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 190\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.96lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Lisette Skeet","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":43944636481791,"sku":"9781682353172","price":28.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_0b2a26ff-8f06-4aa2-b1ba-1f9602596fe5.jpg?v=1681504505","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/a-very-inappropriate-affair-lisette-skeet-9781682353172","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
