review 1: When a single mum Estelle decides to try and revive her ailing Tea Rooms by starting up a book club, a wide variety of people take on the challenge. This book is about how this one act changes the fortunes of not only café crumb but also the lives of the group members: Sue, Rebecca, Gracie and Reggie. They start off with all the right intentions by picking literary heavyweights to read and discuss but are soon distracted by the more popular modern erotica around. This change in reading material has an unexpected effect on the lives of the members who are encouraged to step out of their ‘comfort zone’ in more ways than one. I really enjoyed this book and all the characters were well developed each with dealing with their own life challenges, although I suspect that ... morethe favourite character of a lot of readers will be Reggie the ‘geek’. As a reviewer said on another site it is not all handcuffs, whips and chains, just a good story of how one decision can change the lives of so many people in a positive way. So glad I gave this book a chance.
review 2: Every once in a while I am in the mood for a really good spicy, erotica story. I have come a long way since I read my first erotica book. I can remember reading the book Gemini Heat by Portia Da Costa. What a first book to pick too as my introduction to erotica. Sisters and one guy...threesome...oh boy. Trying to write my first review of this genre was hard. I even had found myself blushing writing it as I liked the book but how do you like something like this without trying to come off like you could be labeled a sex addict. I am not but you get the picture. So anyways what my point is, is that for these types of books to make me like them or even love them anymore, the characters have to be interesting, there has to be chemistry and not just sex with little storyline. If these things are not there than it is just a book that does not make me feel anything like wanting to grab my husband and kiss him after reading the book. I did not feel like this reading this book. In fact, after about chapter ten I gave up on this book. None of the characters were that interesting to me. I can't even remember their names or what they looked like. The first book selection that they chose sounded good and I was looking forward to reading the book along with the book club. Sadly, I did not get to as the ladies just discussed their thoughts about the book. Like I said this book was not for me. less
