    Presented here are three of the six novels written by the legendary British author Jane Austen, each a beloved and cherished masterpiece of Regency-era literature.   
    In Volume II, we present Austen's timeless classics "Sense and Sensibility," "Northanger Abbey" and "Emma." Though the books only received modest attention and few reviews at the time of their first release ("Northanger Abbey" was, in fact, published posthumously), all of these books have gone on to become best-sellers are now considered to be among the finest examples of 19th century literature. Austen's appeal has only grown over the centuries and these stories have been adapted into countless stage, screen and television productions, as well as prequels, sequels and highly fantastical fan fiction.   
    All of the books in The Jane Austen Reader collection are presented in their original and unabridged format and were narrated by renowned audiobook performer Sara Nichols, best known for her narration of Charlotte Brontë's "Jane Eyre," Willa Cather's "Prairie Trilogy" and all of the books written by Jane Austen, which are also available on this platform.

    Warning: Explicit Content. "Nonstop Embarrassment at the Phony Free Clinic" Series. "The clinic is free…but the price is too high!" So says every woman unfortunate enough to be treated at the “Care One Free Clinic.” In exchange for “free” medical care, these poor women, young and old, pay dearly by enduring spartan conditions, low-end everything, and a lack of privacy that’s downright appalling. 
     
    
     
    Worse, although there is an experienced M.D. running the joint, a certain Dr. Jesse Langford, nearly all of the “free care” offered here is conducted by three horny young college men, including his lonely, touch-starved son, Byron. All are nothing but first-year pre-med students—woefully unqualified to be ordering shivering women out of their clothes and into a plethora of humiliating procedures. What these poor women must endure in order to save money is appalling—all so four dirty young men can have the thrill of their lives. It’s disgraceful, disturbing, and disgusting…which, according to these guys, is a very good thing!
     
    
     
    But no matter how distressed she gets, Byron has a job to do. So despite her gasps and whimpers—or Brynn’s threats and curses—he’s about to have the time of his life! If public medical humiliation for unsuspecting and submissive female patients is your cup of tea, this story is for you! Discover how much fun a young man can have when “playing doctor” is taken to unbelievable new heights!
