Love, Only Better (Bold Journeys Book 1) by Paulette Stout – Review by Jennifer Gordon

Love, Only Better by Paulette Stout
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This wonderfully written and honest novel really does explore “a topic too long kept in the shadows: women’s pleasure”, and it does so with vulnerability and sensitivity. Obviously the storyline does contain some intimate scenes! Rebecca’s relationships do not last long and her intimate love life is definitely not satisfying, apart from the chocolate she eats afterwards. After yet another boyfriend storms out of the bedroom, and believing she’s the only women in Manhattan who ‘can’t finish in the bedroom’, she realises she needs to do something about it. Having seen multiple doctors and undergone embarrassing examinations, doctors either say she is fine or are a bit unorthodox, and she’s still not getting any satisfaction.
Then Kyle moves in across the hall from her, and the confident, gorgeous, charming, motorcycle riding photographer takes her breath away. They have instant chemistry and when they are together all Rebecca’s troubles seem to melt away. However, sadly not her main one, and as their relationship develops and their connection grows stronger she is unable to keep her secret hidden. Rebecca knows she needs to fight for the life she wants, with Kyle, knowing that otherwise she may not get a second chance at love. I love Rebecca and think she’s so likeable and relatable, and the chemistry between her and Kyle really sizzles off the page. This definitely has an original and intriguing storyline, but I like how the author has incorporated a ‘taboo’ subject into a heartwarming and inspiring romance. An enjoyable and engaging read.
