We are lucky to live in a society where we must no longer wear scarlet letters, or where children of unwed mothers are considered the lowest form of human being. Isabelle is not so lucky. She gave her virginity away at sixteen years old, was cast out of her family, and had to figure out how to raise a baby all on her own. George Upperton has his own problems. His mistress is with child and he has no funds to support her in the style she has demanded. George and Isabelle meet by chance when her son Jack tries to drown in the ocean. Overall, a rather nice historical romance. I find a few things weird, but I’m not a parent so I will not comment on them.

The Naughty Girls Book Club is not a naughty book. It is very much akin to the Jane Austen Book Club. Estelle runs a less then thriving café. To help ring in more business she starts a book club. At the first meeting to talk about Tess D’Urbervilles , everyone is hohum about the club until Estelle dumps her purse & Ten Sweet Lessons falls out. Then the book club finds their niche. They decide to delve into the naughtier side of literature. I love that the books they read are actual books that you can find on a libraries shelf (with the exception of Ten Sweet Lessons). If you liked the Jane Austen Book Club ( book or movie) you are sure to enjoy this title as well.
Added Bonuses- A readers guide for who want to use this book with their club and a list of naughty book for you to explore.

Another alphabet book to add to the pile. However the fantastic illustrations help it stand out as well as the use of varying animals that you might not find in other books. Plus the rhymes are right on. They flow easily.

This Rent Boys book is longer than any of the others so far. What’s nice about this is it gives time for the story to develop. It’s not just a wham-bam thank you sir. If you have read the rest of the series you might remember Nick. He’s the leather wearing dom reeking of alpha male. Spencer has never rented before but a work mate talks him into taking a look. Spencer holds onto his skepticism until he meets Nick. Through their first experiences together Spencer leans on his desires to be submissive and hires Nick to be his teacher. The one rule that will be hard to obey is “It’s just a business arrangement.”

This book was not at all what I expected. And I still loved it. I normally hate time travel novels but this one just works. The rest of my book club liked it as well.
