Boss Lady Trae I suggest reading Sex Happens by Carol Soloway. If you like the Fifty Shades of Grey you will love this book! Then ending was a total shocker for me. I couldn't put the book down and read it in 3 days...Sex Happens

If you look right under this post, you'll see the page numbers for all in this thread (I think it's currently 1 - 10). If you look right under the numbers, in small print under next, you'll see it says: You are following this discussion and it gives you the option of editing that choice.

The only "realistic books about love" are written by Irvine Welsh, and it's not a pretty sight.
