For Rebecca, sex is a joke missing a punchline. No crashing waves. Only pangs of inadequacy. At twenty-eight, shouldn’t she have had one by now? Her snickering ex thought so. His taunts echo in her ears as he rolls out of her bed. Then out of her life.
Lost, Rebecca seeks expert help, joining a study for women who can’t “finish” in the bedroom. There is such a thing? It’s unconventional, for sure, but she’s desperate for answers. The no-sex mandate is a no brainer. Who’d want to be with her anyway?
Then Kyle moves in. Her blue-eyed, black motorcycle-riding dream of a neighbor lives a heartbeat away. Sparks flew immediately. But could the timing be any worse?
If he learns her secret, she’ll lose her best chance at love. But if her lessons fail, she’ll be left eternally broken. Unlovable.
What started as a search for fulfillment, has suddenly become a quest for something far greater.
Love, Only Better is an intimate quest full of heart, blending a fun next-door romance with steamy dates-for-one. Perfect for fans of Helen Hoang (The Kiss Quotient), Jennifer Weiner (Good In Bed), Jojo Moyes and fans of women's fiction full of wit, spice and soul.
My Thoughts!
Such a fun rom-com book! I think the book's message is something a lot of us can relate to and apply to our own lives. Self-worth and self-empowerment can easily be lost due to a bad upbringing, no support system, dysfunctional relationship, etc. Whatever the reason is, Rebecca's story is a audible-laugh read that also inspires and encourages readers.
When I was growing up, sex was a taboo subject. I knew the basics thanks to a book I was given called "Let's Talk About Sex". Basically I was raised with the idea that sex was for reproduction and nothing else. As I got older, I checked out more and more books at the library and they were game-changers. Just like Rebecca's story is one!
Our sexual comfort makes a difference in all aspects of our life. If we can feel comfortable discussing orgasms, intimacy, and pleasure, it makes us open up in multiple other areas of life. Like anything else, there are going to be times that we fail and make mistakes, but these are all a part of the learning process. For Rebecca, we start seeing her thrive at work and with family and friends once she starts opening her mind and lets go of the past issues that have kept her down.
Definitely an enjoyable read that I would love to read through again!
