When this beach bunny caught the eye of Hugh Hefner at an L. A. nightclub, Izabella St. James was looking for a fun break from studying for the bar. As the latest Girlfriend of the Playboy founder, her break lasted two years, but life behind the gates of the Playboy Mansion was anything but fun. Sure there were parties, presents, puppies, and plastic surgery; but there was also a curfew, a strict regimen of who sits where on movie night, limited contact with the outside world, and a sex life that was anything but wild and crazy. While the E! reality show, The Girls Next Door, has been a ratings hit, each of the three Playboy Bunnies in the series has since left the Mansion in newsworthy ways: one is engaged to a football player, and Hughs main Girlfriend has finally understood that there would be no fairy-tale marriage and family with the man she literally transformed her life for. Izabella was there to witness how each of these relationships formed, where each Girlfriend fell in the peckingand bedorder, and when, exactly, the fabled life turned shabby and cheap. From catfights to sneaking in boyfriends, from high-profile guests in the Grotto to the bizarre rituals of the octogenarian at the center of the sexual revolution, Bunny Tales is compulsively readable and endlessly entertaining!

Being a fan of girls next door (girls of the playboy mansion in nz) of course i brought this book as soon as i saw it. Full of gossip (especially about holly bridget and kendra) and stories of what really happens in the mansion, down to every detail. I found it a awesome book and reccomend it to anyone interested in what happens there while no one is watching, was rather suprised with some parts Isabella definatley does not hold back when telling what really happened.Could not put the book down!!

This book is very slow to start out with, there's a good 10 pages on the history of Poland at the beginning which is not what you're expecting when you buy a book about the Playboy Mansion!
Once it goes further through Izabelle's life up to her days at the Playboy Mansion, it definitely becomes a good read... if you're into that sort of thing! Learning what really happens in the bedroom, how well the girls really got along and how controlling Hef really is becomes very interesting. If you're a fan of Girls of the Playboy Mansion (the Girls Next Door) then you will definitely find parts of the book delicious!
However, the book is fairly poorly written. Stories are repeated and there is a very self-serving vibe throughout the whole book. Izabelle takes a holier-than-thou attitude throughout while opening calling the other girls out and putting them down. If you're looking to read this to get some dirt on Izabelle her self then you will be dissappointed.
Overall, if you are fan of all things Playboy, there are some interesting and juicy tidbits. If you're not, I wouldn't bother.
