Business or Pleasure is a sex-positive, low-conflict celebrity rom com that worked out great for me. I think a lot of readers will enjoy this book (especially the sex positivity!), but it won’t work for anyone looking for angst.

It’s not a perfect book – in fact it suffers from a lack of almost any kind of conflict – but it was exactly what I needed. I’m traveling for work. According to the odometer I’ve driven just under six hundred miles in two days. I’m … Continue reading Knit One, Girl Two by Shira Glassman →
