Manhattan Smutty Book Club - Obsidian by Laurann Dohner
Tue, Aug 4, 11:00 PMThe book for August is recommended by T - **[Obsidian (New Species Book 8) by Laurann Dohner](https://a.co/d/0hUMUfCB)**. Although it is book 8, you don't need to read the other books. This is a world where the government was infusing animal and human DNA creating various New Species beings. They escape and sue the government for rights. There you are all caught up. This book is about the female scientist and the comatose cat man she kidnaps to protect... gee I wonder how she's going to wake him up? (raised eyebrow) A bit of gross business: Someone was using the name of Smutty Book Club and its organizers to invite people to for-profit events. **If you receive any solicitation for an event or receive communication outside of Meetup, asking for money - it is a scam.** Please let us know if you see anything suspicious. A bit of good business: Our annual trip to the **Renaissance Festival will be Saturday, September 26th.** Stay tuned for the Meetup. Ok back to **[Obsidian by Laurann Dohner](https://a.co/d/0hUMUfCB).** Here's what the publisher says: *. Dr. Allison Baker is obsessed with saving the comatose New Species male. She has tried everything and there’s only one option left. Alli will break every rule and put her life in danger by tempting 880 to wake, using only her feminine scent and touch. She just has to kidnap him and crawl into bed with him to make it work.* *. 880 wakes in a different world with a small female who’s been sleeping beside him, caressing him and wrapping her sweet body around his, teasing his senses. He lies silent and still, listening and evaluating each arousing touch, fighting his body’s reaction. Hatred flares when he discovers she’s human, but Mercile stole everything from him so he decides it’s fair to take her in return.* *. But things quickly change and he wants her at his side and in his bed. 880 has chosen a new name—Obsidian—the personification of dark and dangerous. He’ll fight them all to keep Alli. No one will stand in his way.* The book for each month will be chosen at the book club before. So come with your suggestions! Please join us at Cornerstone Tavern, 961 2nd Ave, New York, NY (51st and 2nd) for great conversation, laughs, and friendship. Look for our signs, and listen for the laughter. We are often in the back of Cornerstone behind the curtain, which is actually a different restaurant called the Stags Head. We are also often upstairs at Stags Head. We start at 7pm, but feel free to come early before happy hour ends at 7. People usually start to drift in by 6:30pm.
