How can a family vacation go from idyllic to illicit all in the span of a single week? THE LEMON GROVE starts off with scenes of British couple Jenn and Greg enjoying their annual vacation spot on the island of Mallorca in Spain. Their relaxing respite is altered with the arrival of Jenn’s moody teenage step-daughter Emma and her beautiful new beau Nathan. This young couple’s presence changes the restful routine and charges the atmosphere with the allure of youth. Forty-something Jenn soon finds herself drawn to Nate and her desire quickly turns into an obsession. Jenn is torn between her loyalty to her husband of many years and the lust for a much younger man.
The recklessness of the affair and the flawed nature of the characters make THE LEMON GROVE an unputdownable read. THE LEMON GROVE is an exotic and erotic escape. The shocking and thought provoking story speaks to the frailty of fidelity and the complicated nature of female sexuality.
