#Spanking Story Book Club Week Three


Welcome back! We're here for our final discussion of Body Politics by Cara Bristol.

So, for all of you (Renee Rose) who have said you need to read more of the book before you can participate, we're waiting to hear from you.

For our final discussion, I thought I'd ask everyone what was your favorite scene and why? Also, what was your least favorite scene and why?

And if there are other things you'd like to ask or say about the book, here is your chance.

I'm going to hold off on my favorites and least favorites to give everyone else a chance to weigh in. Can't wait to hear what you think.

Reminder---next week we will start our discussion of Anastasia Vitsky's Desire in Any Language, which is now available on Amazon as well as Blushing Books. You don't want to miss any of the fun, so get reading!

  2. I liked when Stephanie got bratty with the wooden spoon, but I'm afraid everyone already would have guessed that. :)

  3. I also loved the wooden spoon brat. I only remembered at 8 pm last night that I needed to read this book, so I'm only half way finished, but I'm wondering... this book is Body Politics. Are we going to discuss those politics? I think I'm going to post about it on my blog. spanked feminist that I am.

  4. Trying not to give spoilers in case anyone else didn't finish...ok. Hated the board meeting, but I think that was appropriate reaction. And I loved the pace and building conections.

  7. My least favorite part of the book was the Board Meeting because I felt Stephanie was blindsided and was hurt so badly. My favorite part of the book was when Mark came to her rescue when she had hidden herself in her apartment and buried herself in her bed.

    1. Thanks for stopping by SH. Seems like everyone hated the board meeting. It was sweet the way Mark left his conference early to go and find her, wasn't it?

  8. Ok, I finished it. I realized after I posted last night that I only had like 2 chapters to go!

    My favorite scene - hands down - the one when Stephanie submits to her first spanking. Well, actually it's the moments that pass just afterwards. The closeness and trust has just gone to a whole other level. Wow.

    Least favorite - board room. I was so sad for Stephanie and she was right - it wasn't fair. But I'll tell you, I enjoyed that fact that it was a realistic ending. I can't remember the name of the character who betrayed her but, as things in life go, Stephanie didn't get her job back and the other woman wasn't punished immediately for her evil doing! More to say on that, but that's reserved for my review.

    Great book, Cara. Loved the discussion Celeste.

    Oh, and I'm more than half way on Ana's book so I should be able to participate on time!! Probably a once and only once occurrence!

  9. Thank you, Natasha and SH. No, the board meeting wasn't fun. But in life, that's how it happens. People don't always get what is fair. I thought Mark demonstrated how much he cared when he rushed to Stephanie's side, although one reviewer said she Mark didn't her job enough!

    My favorite scene is actually the very first one when they meet at the bar. He's so taken by her:she rebuffs him. But he pursues her. I find that so romantic. I also like the scene in her office when he calls her after the date and she can't talk. And I like the playful kitchen scene. So those are my faves...

    1. I did like that first scene. My favorites were probably the two I mentioned last week--when Stephanie spanked Mark. The way Mark just dropped trou and was so comfortable with himself was so sexy. I also liked the crab cakes scene because it was fun and sexy.

      I'd forgotten about the two scenes you mentioned about their date and the phone call, but they were cute too.

      Overall, a great book and, if I do say so myself, a great first selection for the Spanking Story Book Club.

  10. Celeste, I loved it!
    I haaaaaated the board room scene. Those Be-otches needed some paddling themselves.
    But my favorite was Mark spanking Stephanie to get her out of her severely depressed state. He would not take "no" for an answer; and would not let her succumb to her despair. And when she finally released her anger, it all came spiraling out. All the anger and hurt from her past. Total and utter release. And all because he cared enough to not only keep her from throwing those covers back over her head, but to also spank her until she finally let go. It was beautiful and painful to "watch".
