Review – The Dirty Girls Book Club by Savanna Fox

Description:
Every woman who joined the book club expected to expand their literary horizons. But when they stop reading the classics and start exploring the steamy side of fiction, they discover just how much fun reading can be…

When the book club makes their first erotic selection The Sexual Education of Lady Emma Whitehead, marketing executive Georgia Malone is surprised to find herself identifying with the main character. Like Emma, Georgia is a widow who has never truly experienced the joys of sex. But when she meets the spokesman for her newest campaign, Georgia’s long-buried libido is awakened.

Hockey star Woody Hanrahan is charming and cocky—the sort of man Georgia usually avoids. But while her mind is saying stay away, Georgia’s body is telling her to give in every time Woody comes near. Now as her book club explores the tantalizing extremes of fiction, Georgia is experiencing first hand, and for the first time, the real pleasures of the flesh, and fulfilling the desires that—chapter by chapter—are getting delightfully dirty. Woody is hers to command in a hundred deliciously wicked ways, but when it comes to writing her own happy ending, this dirty girl doesn’t just need his body—she wants his heart.

The Dirty Girls Book Club is a fun, sexy, intriguing read that is easy to get hooked on. It’s written a lot like a hockey playoff game, fast paced, exciting, and leaves you breathless at the end.

Georgia has landed her first major marketing campaign. She is extremely career driven and needs to show her boss that she has what it takes to make this assignment successful. Her professional career is on the path to greatness, but her personal life is less than thrilling. She lost her husband in an auto accident 3 years ago. Since she lost her one true soul mate, her sex life has been at a stand-still. Sex without an emotional concern does not interest her in the slightest. Not that her sex life was all that exciting to begin with, she never experienced the mad rush of passion and arousal. Sex to her was a sharing of mind, body, and soul. It was not to be enjoyed strictly for pleasure.

Her one true escape from her monotonous life is her weekly book club. It’s not until one of them suggest they all read a historical erotic book that Georgia’s mind starts to accept the idea that one can have sex just for pleasure with no attachment. There doesn’t have to be a deep bond between a woman and a man. When two people desire and burn for one another, passion can consume you and its okay to let it happen.

Woody is the captain of a NHL hockey team that is in contention to win The Stanley Cup. He is player not only on the ice, but in the bedroom. He’s never lacked for female attention, but he has a strict playoff rule to never get involved with women during post season. His focus needs to be on the game and nothing else. He is a private person and has a few secrets he needs to keep out of the public eye. However, after being betrayed by his agent and losing his entire career earnings he needs to start accepting some endorsement offers so he can dig out of the financial disaster he was left in.

From the first moment Georgia and Woody are paired together to bring this campaign to life, they have a combustible chemistry that pulls them together. She has never felt a physical reaction to a stranger before, and he is taken back by the desire he feels for her. Woody is very upfront that he wants her. He is also very upfront that he only wants her body. He does not do relationships, ever! She decides that he may not ever be her soul mate, but he can be her sex mate. What better way to learn about all the things she has been reading about than to get a little one on one sexual education at the hands of a master.

The relationship with these two is scorching hot. The sex scenes are written in a way that makes you need a sweat towel and a cold shower to cool yourself off. He teaches her about pleasure and desire and she ultimately teaches him about trust and love. I enjoyed the way this book entwined the erotic story from the book club throughout this current story. It was almost like reading two stories in one. It was done with a perfect balance that flowed really well. As a huge hockey fan I love the way the voyage of playoff season was portrayed. It was descriptive and accurate. Everything from the player’s health, the silly superstitions, and extensive travel schedule was spot on.

The only part of the story that I struggled with was when they first started working together, she came across very condescending towards him. She was constantly correcting his speech and even his table manners. It made her character seem almost bitchy, which is far from the way Georgia actually is. I wished the nagging would have been toned down just a bit.

Overall this was an exciting, exhilarating journey of two people who get to experience the pure joy of pleasure, trust, and ultimately love.
