Summary

The Memoirs of Fanny Hill John Cleland - The Memoirs of Fanny Hill by John Cleland was originally published in 1748. It is an erotic novel, and is considered the first pornographic novel to be published. It is written in the form of two long letters by Frances 'Fanny' Hill, to a woman known only as 'Madam'. Whilst Frances is now married with children and living a happy and luxurious existence, the letters recount the earlier, more scandalous stages of her life. Starting with a poor childhood, the letters tell of how, after her parents died, she went to London and ended up working in a brothel. There she meets her current husband Charles, who encouraged her to leave this lifestyle - after becoming lovers, Charles was sent away overseas for a while during which time Frances went on to have several lovers. Eventually they reunite.A year after the first installment had been published, Cleland and his publisher were arrested and charged with 'corrupting the King's subjects'. Interestingly enough, Cleland had finished The Memoirs of Fanny Hill whilst in prison for debt. When the case of corruption went to court, Cleland renounced the book, claiming that he could only 'wish from his soul that the book be buried and forgot'.

    Some days I can almost see the person I used to be. See the version of myself that felt joy, even passion. But she's gone . . . just out of reach. 
 
 
 
Life moves on for everyone else, though, and as my best friend's maid-of-honor, I have a bachelorette party to plan—in Jamaica, no less. And that means working side by side with the best man: Benjamin Black. 
 
 
 
Billionaire. Workaholic. Ultimate bachelor. The perfect catch for any woman—unless she's lost her sense of self. 
 
 
 
Apparently my body hasn't gotten the memo. Because from the second we meet, something begins stirring, warming my blood. And when our hands touch, it's a heady reminder that even if I feel numb, my heart still beats. 
 
 
 
He's nothing like I thought. Every moment with him unshackles a little more of my fears, cracks another layer of ice. 
 
 
 
But I should be afraid—and so should he. Because the past never lets go so easily. 
 
 
 
Contains mature themes.
