The Secret Lives of Emma: Beginnings

Thirty-something Emma Benson is a free spirit. For her a good life means a life of sensuality.

So it’s a surprise to everyone when she marries David, a successful businessman, and settles down in the suburbs.

One year on, and she’s trying so hard to be loyal to her man. Not easy to do when you’re passionate and uninhibited.

But then, while sunbathing in her garden, her neighbour’s eighteen-year-old son appears. And Emma has found her new project…

She will be his perfect teacher…

I loved this book. A feisty heroine! The sex scenes are quite full on - but done very well and very sensual too. I really enjoyed the humour in the book too. It doesn't take itself too seriously, so keeps a very playful tone - Goodreads
