Isabelle is a young woman who is just starting her first year at Oxford. But beneath her studious facade lurks a raging passion for sex, spanking and BDSM; all of which--and more!--she gets from men and women alike. This book is not to be missed by any serious spanking afficianado. My rating: 10/10.

This book is an absolute must if you are a Penny Birch fan. It is one of her earliest efforts, but also one of her all-time best. The heroine of the story is a strong woman, similar to Amber Oakley in other PB books, who has both dominant and submissive tendencies. There is a little of everything for the reader, but the scenes are rendered so well and so convincingly, that they leave other books in the dust. Early in 2004, a follow-up book, "Indiscretions of Isabelle", is to be released, so it would be a good idea to read this one first. This ranks well with Penny's other early efforts, "A Taste of Amber", and "Brat", both of which introduced two of her best characters, the aforementioned Amber Oakley, and Natasha Linnet. This book has been in publication for a while now, but really stands the test of time. One of the best I've enjoyed in years.

The main character is easy to relate to. Carrie learns about the world of BDSM and is a quick study. We get to follow her along her learning process as she goes from an amateur dom to a nearly perfect sub in this story. She does some very indignified (even dirty) things in this book that leave the ready horny and wanting for more!

Penny Birch is one of many female authors revealing to the world the dark, dirty little secrets of many women out there. Todays women want to be the bad little girl. Yes, a woman can be strong and submissive, and this novel takes us on the journey of Isabelle's transformationa and the many indignities that await her.

This book was extremely well written, and was hot enough to set hell on fire. I read it in one day, and will definitely be re-reading it. Look forward to reading more from Penny Birch.

Some of the most true to life sexual scenes I have ever read in a book. That only made the book hotter. Birch has done it once again.

man oh man this is a hot read. i couldn't wait to pick up and i was not disappointed.... and that's an understatement. so hot it sizzles. loved "the indignities of isabelle" man oh man oh man.....
