"Can You Keep a Secret?" - The Real-life Fifty Shades


Disclaimer~ I received the press release on this book. I have not read this book personally so I cannot give an opinion on it. It appears to be more of a memoir versus a love story. Parts may be difficult to read. Just wanted to pass this info along for you to use how you see fit.

CAN YOU KEEP A SECRET?
By Katie Collins and Robert Carry
Can You Keep a Secret? is the true story of Katie Collins’ journey from innocent schoolgirl to plaything of Ireland’s underground sex scene.
Katie’s sexual odyssey began before she was even sixteen. She started out stripping on webcam for an audience of strangers, and soon she was meeting and having sex with numerous men each week, determined to expand her sexual horizons and explore her submissive nature.
When Katie discovered Ireland’s secretive swingers’ scene, her behaviour escalated as she found the perfect outlet for her voracious sexual appetite. After her first nervous encounters with experienced swingers, she threw herself into the anything-goes lifestyle and became the most popular girl on the scene, proudly taking centre stage at fifty-strong sex parties. Katie’s uncontrollable sexual urge eventually led her to experiment with women, explore S&M fetishes and have sex with up to ten men in one night.Katie sought out ever more extreme sexual experiences and she eventually began to wonder if her behaviour was really an expression of her sexual freedom, or if it had grown out of something darker.Can You Keep a Secret? is the brutally honest and sometimes unsettling account of a young girl’s journey into the sexual underworld.
