Steamy Summer Reading List
Everyone, pull your summer reading list out. Summer will be here before you know it and you have to have your reading planned. Otherwise you risk being caught without a book. *gasp* we don’t want that, do we?
Summer, isn’t it the most glorious of seasons? The endless hours of sunshine, birds chirping, countless bug bites and excruitiating sun burns… still better than winter.
When I think back to my younger years, summers were marked by flings. Those relationships that are passionate and intense but you both know it will never go anywhere. After an intense few months you both part ways with a satisified smile on your face knowing you won’t see that person again.
Now that I’m older, flings are a thing of the past. Summers are marked by reading passionate scenes with intense book boyfriends.
Perhaps the best thing about exchanging flings with real life men for the men on this steamy summer reading list is that you can revisit them every summer without worrying about them getting attached or worse, accusing you of being needy. Book boyfriends just might be the way to go.
