All seemed perfect in Daniel's life. His wife was pregnant and he knew that a bestseller would leap from his fingers some time soon. Yet, things take a drastic turn when he is unexpectantly drawn into an attraction with his wife's best friend's husband. With romance, adventure, numbing comedy, and a hilarious African matchmaker named Ashaki who won't think twice about dead chickens, this novel is a must for anybody willing to take a moment from the norm and step into the lives of adulterers. Discover the thrills and pains of adultry through their epic adventure. Join Daniel on his journey through marriage, fatherhood, and the heart-warming outcome of his estranged affair... This novel is approved for persons aged seventeen (17) and older, for minor language and adult content.

Daniel and his wife Olivia, now four months pregnant, live comfortably in a small old-fashioned town in Tennessee. A couple who are their friends, Tracy and Chandler, lost their first child six months ago due to a miscarriage, and although Tracy seems to have bounced back, Chandler can’t release his grief. At a birthday party for Tracy held at their home, Daniel attempts to cheer up Chandler in a private talk, and discovers a tension level that hadn’t... More > been present earlier. Just before the private conversation is unexpectedly interrupted by Olivia, Daniel looks into Chandler’s eyes and sees something he never saw before; and though he wonders if the reaction had been confined only to himself, he’s savvy enough to realize that never again will life be viewed the same by him. A new filter has slid over the lens of his personal kaleidoscope.

Daniel is a novelist who works at home, and his new perspective has pervaded his creative output as well as his personal stance. The entire direction of his current story changes, and Chandler remains in his mind throughout his non-working hours. As time passes, Tracy becomes more and more contemptuous of Chandler, and that attitude seems to be wearing off on Olivia, for she frequently teases Daniel about Chandler and the birthday party. On the way to dinner at a restaurant, Daniel and Chandler fall into a misunderstanding and both come away with hurt feelings; until a second quiet conversation begins to straighten matters out and put the budding relationship onto a new foundation!

J. L. Foster delivers a story that quickly draws the reader into the lives of these couples, and in no time I found myself intrigued with the situation beginning between the writer Daniel and his close acquaintance Chandler, who is enduring an increasingly miserable marriage. I easily found myself rooting for the two and sympathizing with their mutual marital situations. I think any reader could find something to identify with here, because no individual’s life is ever completely or continuously perfect. The Estranged Affair: A Love Story is a story I expect I shall pick up to reread, because I think this book has much to share. < Less

"A ROLLER COASTER OF EMOTION!" This is *not* your usual love story. Daniel is married to a woman who uses the mood swings associated with pregnancy to act like a witch. Chandler is married to a woman who could be Daniel's wife's sister - and they are best friends. Daniel and Chandler find each other and begin an affair that takes the reader on what is truly a roller coaster of emotion. I found myself laughing and crying and cursing and so angry I came dangerously close to slamming the book shut! But I hung on and in the end was rewarded handsomely for my patience. This book is more than worth the ride it takes you on!
