Love, Only Better
By: Paulette Stout

This is definitely a different take on a love story and I absolutely love it! This story tackles the topic of female sexual fulfillment and does so in such a way that it makes the heroine seem relatable. Rebecca is such an amazing character, well written and really just seems like a normal one of the girls. She was recently called frigid in regards to her performance in bed and then was dumped. Lets be honest, that would give anyone a bit of a complex. And of course, this is when someone appears who seems to show interest in Rebecca. But will she even remotely act on the interest and risk seeming frigid again? I have to say that Rebecca was one of the best characters I have read in a while. She just really was someone I felt that I wanted to get to know. I also love how the author tackles such a “taboo” topic with such relatability. I loved this story and I cannot wait to read more by the author!

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Love, Only Better is the fun first book in the women’s fiction Bold Journeys novels by Paulette Stout. I have not read anything by this author before and was pleasantly surprised. She brings forth stories that are often not talked about, taboo or a tightly held secret.
This is a story of one’s sexuality and discovering oneself, one’s needs and wants, of intimacy. It is well written and is an honest exploration of sexual problems. I think this is one story that you will either really like or not.
Men and women can be cruel, and many take their words to heart but sometimes it just takes the right person to know the way around a woman’s body.
Rebecca has been through the wringer in every aspect of her life and herself confidence is rock bottom. Rebecca doesn’t like sex. Instead of packing it all in she decides to take a stand and go after what she wants and what she wants is the sexy man that lives across the way. She wants intimacy. She wants to be special. She wants spice. She wants to be sexy and God damnit she wants to be able to enjoy sex to full completion. She wants her Big O!
I thoroughly enjoyed this tale, and I was drawn to the characters facing real life problems in real life settings. As a bonus I got to explore NYC.
I now want to read the second book What We Never Say.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Rebecca is a character that I could totally relate to for personal reasons. Reading this story was like reading about my life. I found the story to be powerful. The start built at a slow start but I found that it was building to a story that let us watch Rebecca find out what True Love was and could be, with Kyle. She learned to want to love and be herself. Sure, she has issues. Sometimes, it’s refreshing to read a story and watch someone get through it. Even being fiction, it still brings hope. I enjoyed it all, though her friends left something to be desired. I look forward to reading more. I already have the second book up next.

WHAT HAPPENS WHEN THE ONLY ONE HOLDING YOU BACK, IS YOU?

 Rebecca was raised to be independent—handle her business, graduate college, and dive into a rising advertising career. But there’s a nagging problem she’s hasn’t been able to shake. The same one that sends her boyfriend storming out the bedroom door.

 Her doctor says she’s fine, but what would he know? He wasn’t the only 28-year-old woman in Manhattan who couldn’t finish in the bedroom. For the life of her, she can’t figure out what she’s doing wrong. Her new doctor is unorthodox, but she’s tried everything else. Well, everything except Kyle.

 The gorgeous photographer who moves in across the hall is everything she isn’t. He’s confident, charming, and takes the world by storm from astride his black motorcycle. When they’re together, her troubles melt away. Well, all but one.

 After hiding her secret becomes impossible, Rebecca is forced to fight for the life she wants—knowing it could be her last chance.

 Daringly honest and tenderly relatable, Love, Only Better explores a topic too long kept in the shadows: women’s pleasure. Paulette Stout crafts an authentic and inspiring story that will delight readers of fast-paced contemporary women’s fiction and leave readers feeling empowered.

 This book contains intimate scenes.
