BOOKWORM REVIEW: An Unholy Affair by Evie Alexander
RATING: ⭐⭐⭐⭐.5
SPICE: 🔥🔥🔥
If Evie Alexander is to be canonized, I suppose this read would count as her miracle, because these two COMPLETELY OPPOSITE personalities should not be this charismatic as a couple.
Being a vicar isn't exactly the kind of profession that brings the boys to Eveline Shaw's yard, but all love takes is one man, and she might just have found the one. Jack Newton isn't the long-term type, though. The escort might be drawn to Eveline, but between his secret profession and insecurities, a happily ever after just isn't on the horizon for them..or so he thinks.
I enjoyed this book so much despite jumping into it with some credulity. I mean, a vicar and an escort is more likely a start to a horrible joke than an engaging romance read, but I should have had more faith in Evie Alexander to deliver a spicy, hilarious love story about two unlikely people.
There is more to comedic circumstance than what the description promises, too. Alexander delivers relatable and engaging depth to her characters that makes their arcs -- as individuals and as a couple -- so much richer.
This can be read as a standalone, but characters from Alexander's previous Foxbrooke books do make cameos in this read.

ABOUT THE BOOK
Will he show her heaven, or take her straight to hell?
Vicar Eveline Shaw’s always dreamed of finding ‘the one’, but her job keeps getting in the way. She may be kind and beautiful, but men run a mile when they discover who her boss is. Only one person has ever made her soul sing; a perfect stranger who walked away without a second glance.
Escort Jack Newton’s got a talent few men have, and it’s made him rich. But his job’s a dirty secret, and as his bank account gets bigger, his heart gets smaller. He left his one chance at happiness at a bar and didn’t look back. When he's dragged back to Somerset after his father dies, Jack falls into a nightmare. His dream woman may be living in Foxbrooke, but she wants a happy-ever-after and he’s an escort with no plans to stick around.
Can Jack show Eveline heaven and keep his secret safe, or are they both headed straight for hell? An Unholy Affair is a second chance, forbidden love, super-steamy, small town romantic comedy with a guaranteed happily ever and no cheating or cliffhanger. It’s written as a standalone but we think you’ll enjoy it even more after reading Love ad Lib first!
