Emma Dupree hopes to be able to leave her boring job in insurance in order to pursue her true passion of journalism.  When she discovers a handbook for the exclusive Rod and Cane society and somehow finagles membership, she believes her chance to break into journalism will come sooner rather than later.  After a few weeks of talking to various members of the Wives Auxiliary of the Rod and Cane, Emma is able to piece together a story.  Although she tries to stay objective, her tone dictates that she does not agree with the concept of Domestic Discipline.  It seems, however, that Emma's tone may begin to change when she meets Dan Tanner.I truly enjoy Cara Bristol's writing style.  She has shown time and again how she is able to take a simple statement and turn it into something much more beautiful.  When Emma becomes aware of the split second before the paddle will fall, Cara writes: "Prescience didn't mitigate impact". This is a perfect example of her poetic prose and is one of my favorite lines in the book.  I think it is fascinating how Cara Bristol is able to convey volumes of truth in those four simple words.False Pretenses is the second installment in Cara Bristol's Rod and Cane series.  I partially expected this book to be like most other sequels - pretty good, but not as good as the original.  Cara Bristol certainly proved me wrong.  This book was fantastic.  It is wonderful in the series, but is strong enough to stand on its own. I highly recommend it to any spanking enthusiast who is looking for a good read!Katerina of BottomsUpBookReview
