Tracey Garvis Graves, the New York Times best-selling author of On the Island, returns.
What if the life you wanted, and the woman you fell in love with, belonged to someone else?
Chris and Claire Canton's marriage is on life support. Downsized during the recession and out of work for a year, Chris copes by retreating to a dark place where no one can reach him, not even Claire. When he's offered a position that will keep him away from home four nights a week, he dismisses Claire's concern that time apart could be the one thing their fragile union can't weather. Their suburban life may look idyllic on the outside, but Claire has never felt so disconnected from Chris, or so lonely.
Local police officer Daniel Rush used to have it all, but now he goes home to an empty house every night. He pulls Claire over during a routine traffic stop and runs into her again at the 4th of July parade. When Claire is hired to do some graphic design work for the police department, her friendship with Daniel grows, and soon they're spending hours together.
Claire loves the way Daniel makes her feel, and the way his face lights up when she walks into the room. Daniel knows that Claire's marital status means their relationship will never be anything other than platonic. But it doesn't take long before Claire and Daniel are in way over their heads, and skating close to the line that Claire has sworn she'll never cross.

The performances added depth to the story.Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to take my time and savor Covet. There were just too many emotions going on for it to be a fast read. It has been 3 days since I finished it and it is still pulling me back to the story.Any additional comments?
I will be relistening to this audio.A great women's fiction read

Claire is a lonely mother of two who is seriously put to the test when her husband of 12 years losses his job and sinks into a deep depression. Once he is back on track and working again, she is left alone for days and weeks as he travels about 90% of the time. Claire is lonely and desperate for any emotional support or connection. In walks Officer Daniel Rush, a hot police officer who is available and willing to offer her friendship and support.
I don’t want to give away any spoilers to this story, but I will say this book really made me think about my own marriage and relationships in general. Cheating is a very controversial subject and the author pulls this off beautifully with no judgment on either side. The book is written in all 3 POVs so it does give some insight into each character and something for the listener to ponder.
Some parts of this book are little mundane as the author goes through the daily tasks of being a mother of two young children. For this reason I can’t give the book a solid 5 stars. I really enjoyed the appearance of Claire’s friends and neighbors. It reminded me that you never really know what happens behind closed doors. Overall this was a really thought provoking and enjoyable listen.
4.5 stars!
