I read romance books for the simple reason that they bring me joy. My romance book reading habit really took off when I became a mom. With kids of my own to take care of, I became overwhelmed with anxiety reading negative news stories, especially about women and children. I just couldn’t take reading or listening to this negativity in the world. Bu...
Picking up a book, no matter what the genre, lets you escape into a different world or even time travel to a different world. In real life, I’m juggling many hats – wife, mother, business owner, and healer in my personal life and professional life as an acupuncturist. While I love my family and my work, I love being able to pick up a romance book a...
Everyone has their ups and downs in relationships – no one is perfect, which is why I love to read romance for examples of what a healthy relationship can look like. It’s not a romance book (or maybe not an exciting romance book) without that moment of conflict for the couple or main characters. They ALL have one and it’s perhaps the best part of r...
Throw out the stigma of the historical bodice ripper where the damsel in distress throws herself at her hero’s feet. I love reading romance books because they are increasingly female positive in which the woman’s pleasure is front and center and does not take a backseat to the man’s pleasure. Romance books are also great examples of consent in the ...

Well let’s address this one head-on, shall we? Of course, romance books turn me on. At least the super steamy ones 😊. What I love most about the romance book genreis that there really is something for everyone. You can have very clean romance books with little to no physical intimacy, you can have implied intimacy with closed-door romance books, o...
Romance books can help you identify what turns you on or what gives you pleasure because sometimes you just don’t know until you read about it. Doing a buddy read with a partner may also spice up your relationship as well. Or simply highlight passages and then pass the book to your partner so that he/she can learn more about what you like if you ca...
Reading romance books, you can also safely explore what a fantasy may look like in real life by first “experiencing” it in the pages of a novel. Or if the fantasies you have aren’t ones you see yourself actually acting out in real life, reading about them in romance books still gives you that opportunity to envision them.
Reading romance books also gives readers an opportunity to experience intimacy. One of my readers shared with me that she reads romance to experience feelings that she may not normally feel because she’s an introvert. Let’s face it. Finding a partner can be hard. It’s not easy to trust someone with your thoughts and feelings let alone physical inti...
Even though I’m married, I happily accumulate many book boyfriendsthat I gush over. My book boyfriends are just as varied as the romance genre they are a part of, as they can be alpha males, shy guys, billionaires or mechanics, tattoo artists or athletes, playboys, or single dads. My favorite book boyfriends all bring something different to the tab...
