Meet Maggie, Eva, and Lisa, founders of The Scarlet Letter Society. Named as such due to their various infidelities, both physical and emotional, the 'SLS' is their refusal to be shamed like Hester Prynne in Nathaniel Hawthorne's classic tale of forbidden longing. Maggie is twice-divorced and juggling three lovers-one of whom is her first ex-husband. Eva is trapped in a loveless marriage and has turned to her young intern and a seductive French chef for satisfaction. Lisa dreams of one day becoming a mother, but her husband has more romantic interest in her footwear than he does in her.Once a month, these women meet at their local bookstore to discuss love, life and literature. Through their friendships and liaisons, they attempt to gain insight into the curveballs life has thrown their way, and how each of them can find emotional and sexual fulfillment. Over the course of a year these women, plus several others who look to the Scarlet Letter Society for help with their own romantic dilemmas, will find lust and love, happiness and heartbreak, in the most unexpected places.A witty, insightful and steamy novel about a group of women who have chosen to forge their own paths, and must deal with the ramifications of their past and present choices, The Scarlet Letter Society will appeal to anyone who's found their fairy tale isn't quite what Disney had in mind.Contains mature themes.

My first complaint: the person chosen to read this thing. Horrible. Just Horrible. She barely adjusted her voice for the multiple characters and any ... fun ... in the text is bled out by her nasally presentation.
So far, a few explicit scenes, but nothing so vulgar as to be porn. Those that are described tend to shift the focus away from that region. These also work well with the plot and meld seamlessly into the text. Not dropped there just to have them.
Lots of name dropping in this book. Not just brands to consider trademarks, but book titles and authors as well. Not just quotes from them but parts worked deep into the text.
I expected more explicit scenes that I got. There was a lot of fade to black and quickie scenes that left much to be desired, though they fit into the storyline well. The storyline was okay but I felt it rather unfulfilling... (
