Coupled/Uncoupled...

Many of us were weaned on stories of soulmates, happily ever after’s, epic love affairs…that is until at some point, with a few extra pounds, or a spotty complexion, our dreams of a handsome prom date and a good night kiss are quashed by the mean girl brigade. Say what you want about the romance, but these books are overwhelmingly written by and for women, where women’s desires are given center stage. And increasingly they are inclusive, smart, savvy, and sexy! So, allow me to cue up a stack of steamy(ish) novels fit for a ravenous binge. Ones to satisfy your insatiable appetite for whatever floats your boat, so to speak.
