BoundDirty_comps.inddAs the women in the Dirty Girls Book Club open each new selection of erotica, they also open up their minds to sexual adventure…

Lily Nyland married sexy bad boy Dax Xavier because he made her dreams come true—in bed and out. But after a decade of marriage, her helicopter bush pilot husband spends more time in the remote wilderness than heating things up in her bedroom. The best sex she’s enjoyed recently comes from the Dirty Girls Book Club’s erotic selections.

Still, when the club chooses Bound to Be Dirty, Lily’s skeptical. As a family practice doctor and a fiercely independent woman, the theme doesn’t exactly resonate with her. But then Dax, home for the Christmas holiday, startles her by spicing up their sex life with naughty tricks that make her wonder if he snuck a peek at her book. Even more shocking, Lily finds herself turned on by their erotic experimentation. Kinky sex may be enough to rekindle the passion in their marriage, but can it restore the deeper bonds of love and trust?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Savanna Fox writes a compelling story about a couple struggling to save their marriage. 

Eight months ago, Lily Nyland joined a book club with three other women.  One of the books the women decide to read is a novel about BDSM.  Lily reluctantly agrees but the subject makes her uncomfortable; she thinks BDSM is abusive and demeaning.  Lily is a controlled, hard working doctor and spends all her time running a busy family practice clinic in Vancouver.  Lily joins the book club thinking they will have highbrow literary discussions, but the women have different tastes and the books aren’t choices Lily would make, but she reads them anyway.  Lily enjoys being with the women, because it’s been a long time since she has spent time with girlfriends, or had a chance to relax. 

Lily and her husband Dax have been married ten years, but are rarely together because of their demanding jobs.  They have slowly drifted apart, but are hesitant to discuss the state of their marriage.  Dax is a bush pilot and rarely home because he is gone for months at a time with his job.  Dax is a bad boy with a free spirit who relishes spending time in the wilderness.  Dax and Lily have forgotten how to communicate with each other and they are afraid to express their feelings. Even though they are polar opposites, they have always been attracted to each other.  When Dax finds the book about BDSM on Lily’s kindle, he is surprised by her choice in reading material.  The book gives him ideas and he decides to add some spice into their sex life.

BOUND TO BE DIRTY is the third book in A Dirty Girls Book Club series.  Each book is a stand-alone and chronicles a different member in the book club.   Do Dax and Lily love each other enough to compromise and save their marriage?  Can people change?
