Lauren's Review of Educating His Bride by Cara Bristol

Summary:  From college coed to a professor's naughty bride... It’s the 1950s. Never much interested in her studies, Margaret Atwater attends college hoping to graduate with an Mrs. degree instead of a bachelor’s. When she catches the eye of English Professor Henry Thurston, she’s thrilled to marry him, drop out of school, and begin a new life as a married woman and faculty wife. However, Henry is a kinky man who has much to teach his eager young bride—in, and out, of the bedroom. As Mrs. Henry Thurston, Margaret’s sexual education has just begun

What I Liked:  Isn’t it fun to be bad once in a while? YES!! What an engaging, entertaining, and fun short story!! I am not one for historical romances but I am a fan of the 50’s and who doesn’t love a good hot for teacher story.  I instantly fell for Margaret and Henry’s love story.  I love how they explored their sexuality together; something that I think most couples lack in their relationships today.  Why not try some spanking or a butt plug?? You’ll never know if you like it unless you try it.  As a supporter of women’s rights, it took me awhile to get over the gender roles and society’s views of women back then. But once you get past it, you find yourself laughing as Margaret and Henry experience their fascinating married journey.  Sex scenes will not disappoint either!


Favorite Quote: "You look beautiful," he said huskily, cupped her face, and kissed her. She clutched his biceps, one finger caressing his skin. At the small touch, heat waves coursed through his lower body. He pulled her closer, inhaling her floral scent, savoring the taste and feel of her. My wife." 

Not So Much:  I WANT MORE!! I want to know more backstory about Margaret and Henry.  The book starts with them already together but I would love to know how it came about.   I wasn’t paying attention to how far along I was and when the story suddenly ended, I was not a happy reader. Only complaint is that the book was way too short and there was definitely room to add content without making it too fluffy.

Overall:  A short read but definitely worth the trip back to the 50’s!
