Degrees of Love
ByPublisher Description
In this powerful debut, a successful businesswoman embarks on a journey of self-discovery that will shake her to the core.
Like the shiny new BMW parked in the driveway of the Silicon Valley home she shares with her husband, Matt, and their two boys, Susan Sinclair exudes confidence and style. Newly promoted to a prestigious Senior Vice President position at her firm, Susan is the picture of personal and professional success.
Yet appearances are deceiving. With each advance in Susan’s career, Matt has grown more distant. But he refuses to admit there is a problem, and Susan, determined to give her boys the close-knit family life she never had, forces herself to play along.
Then she meets her new boss, Reese Kirkpatrick. She and Reese become a crackerjack team, but little by little, pleasure mixes with business. For the first time in a long time, Susan feels seen and appreciated for who she is.
In a moment of weakness, friendship becomes something more. Now, unable to stomach the façade her marriage has become yet unwilling to decimate her family by moving forward with Reese, Susan faces a choice that could cost her everything—including her children . . . but possibly bring her more than she can dream.

“This is a debut novel for Lisa Slabach. I enjoyed reading Susan's, Reese's, and Matt's story. My only complaint was the ending. Even though it all worked out in the end, I just didn't like the way it got there.”
“"Degrees of Love" is Lisa's first novel but I never would guessed that by the writing style or the way the story flowed so seamlessly together. Lisa had me hooked from page one and I couldn't stop reading till the end. I read this book in one night. Yes 344 pages in one night. I just couldn't wait to see what would happen next.
Susan is 36 and from the outside it appears she has it all but she doesn't think so. Even when she gets the promotion she's been waiting for, it isn't enough to make her completely happy. She feels as if something is missing. Her life is simply mundane. The same things happen day in and day out.
It wasn't a conscience decision but it begins to happen anyway. Susan takes steps to make her life more enticing and before she knows it her marriage is in trouble and her life is out of control.
I'm not one for cheating and I usually don't like books that have it in them but this one was different somehow. I found myself understanding Susan's point of view on life even though I didn't condone what she did.
I think as a reader our job is to give each book a chance to tell the story it is meant to and then we decide if the author makes us fall or not. I know I fell for this book hard and I hope others do too.”
