Ne Ne has really classed it up with this title. The best thing - it comes with reading group discussion questions.

The pussy trap : a novel / by Ne Ne Capri

Note	Includes reading group discussion questions.

They say if you leave an enemy breathing they rise up and take revenge. Kayson, a big time dealer in New York, got his come-up early in the game by killing anybody he had to on his way to the top. Anxiously waiting for fifteen years to get revenge, an opportunity finally presents itself when his right-hand man Aldeen introduces him to KoKo. KoKo is a boss in her own right and down for whatever, so when the offer is placed on the table to work with the top man, she accepts. Kayson carefully trained KoKo to be his best angel of death. With a score needing to be settled, it will be KoKo who will not only seduce and trap Kayson's enemy, but she will also end up stumbling upon an enemy of her own.--P. [4] of cover.

Surely if Jane Austen was alive today she would've spiced up Pride & Prejudice with a bit more bodice ripping

Pride and prejudice : hidden lusts / Mitzi Szereto


http://catalog.multcolib.org/record=b2076410*eng


http://catalog.multcolib.org/record=b2076410*eng

"Imagine that Jane Austen had written the opening line of her satirical novel Pride and Prejudice this way: "It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a good romp and a good wife - although not necessarily from the same person or from the opposite sex." In Pride and Prejudice: Hidden Lusts Mr. Darcy has never been more devilish and the seemingly chaste Elizabeth never more turned on. The entire cast of characters from Austen's classic is here in this rewrite that goes all the way. This time Mr. Bingley and his sister both have designs on Mr. Darcy's manhood; Elizabeth's BFF Charlotte marries their family's strange relation and stumbles upon a secret world of feminine relations more to her liking; and, in this telling, men are not necessarily the only dominating sex. And of course there's some good old fashioned bodice ripping that shows no pride or prejudice and reveals hot hidden lusts in every page-turning chapter"-- Provided by publisher.
