Description from the publisher:

Emily wants what every woman does: to have it all. Is that too much to ask?

Emily really can't complain. She's married to a wonderful man, her high school sweetheart, who still dotes on her as he did when he first laid eyes on her. They have a beautiful home together, and they each enjoy successful careers. On the outside looking in, Emily has what any woman would be perfectly happy with.

But it's just not enough. Emily can't help wishing for just a bit more—for that special spark, for that thrill of something new and surprising, for the shivery tingles running down her spine. For real passion—for true romance.

She never expects to find it during the workday and definitely not in the form of a sticky note.

Just one square slip of paper with a few handwritten words, tucked mysteriously into the contents of her purse and dropped right into her small world, marks the first of a slew of sexy surprises Emily couldn't have anticipated no matter how hard she wished for them. She's desperately sought after every one of the special moments in store for her, and there's no question that she deserves them.

Even as Emily eagerly anticipates and thoroughly savors all of the excitement and mystery of what may come, she just can't guess the roller coaster of emotions she's soon to experience—or just how much it will change her.

And she may never guess just who—is leading her on the romantic adventure of her dreams.

Just when she feels she's lost the life and love she most wants to have, she finds them—in the last place she'd ever think to look.

THE POST-IT NOTE AFFAIR is a sweet, romantic, short story for every woman who has been married more than a few days… and their men.



This is a sweet, light read with an expected outcome.  Just because it was expected – or hoped for – doesn’t mean that the trip wasn’t fun.  I loved the suspense of an unknown admirer and the positive feelings that Emily was able to grab onto starting with the very first note.



There was a lot of internal emotion from Emily – frustration in a marriage that was stuck in a rut, flirtation and the angst of being a married woman (when is it crossing the line), and finally a need for safety.  That is where the magic of the story happens.  Where does Emily go when she needs comfort?



Though I didn’t always agree with Emily, I understood.  Once your romantic life becomes dull and routine, it’s not unusual to day-dream about some excitement.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
