Secret, Lies and The Book Club Wives - S J Carmine - Bog

Sex and scandal in suburbia! A 'Wax and Whips' spin-off.
Having recently moved to a sleepy and incredibly dull village, Julia decides she needs to become more involved in the local community and joins the ladies book club. She quickly learns that the self-appointed group leader, Annabelle, runs the group with a rod of steel. The other ladies appear scared, unable to express themselves and have clearly been told not to talk to her. Feeling ostracised from the group because of her northern accent and bored by the repetitive, 'cultured' books that are chosen week after week, Julia puts a bomb under the group when it's her turn to choose what to read by choosing a smutty (and, oh so common) book! In doing so, she incurs the wrath of Annabelle, offends the Vicar and triggers a chain of events that no one could have expected.
Will Julia free the other ladies from Annabelle's tyranny, will they enjoy reading smut and what exactly is Annabelle's secret and why does he have such a hold over the other villagers?
