Counsellor Turns Couples On To Erotic Romance

New York, NY (PRWEB) September 10, 2006

Fans have been thanking erotic romance author, Kathleen Lawless, for improving their sex lives for years. Finally, couples counsellors are taking notice.

Kathleen Lawless receives many letters from satisfied women and men who have shared her books with their partners, but it came as a surprise to learn a couples therapist also deems her books therapeutic. “I met therapist, Mark Brunke, several months ago,” Lawless says, “and I mentioned that couples were acting out the scenes in my erotic romances with dramatic results. Mark asked if he could read some of my work. I promptly sent him several of my back titles and most recently an autographed copy of my latest, A Hard Man To Love, (Pocket Books; August 1, 2006 ; Trade Paperback; $14.00; ISBN 1416507523).

“A Hard Man to Love celebrates female eroticism,” therapist, Mark Brunke, says. “Kathleen Lawless' books aren't victim-like power fantasies. Her books are sexual fantasies featuring independent, assertive women. A Hard Man to Love is a book couples will want to read and enjoy together.”

Therapists routinely recommend various methods of stimulation for couples, and pornography has traditionally been a ‘staple,’ however most women view porn as degrading. “Erotic romance is not porn,” Lawless explains. “My stories focus on the emotional journey of the couple. The characters, through their sexual encounters, grow as individuals while learning to trust their partners. My readers want and expect the hero and heroine to form an emotional bond. The romance is front and center from page one and my characters monogamous, which my readers appreciate.”

And do the readers ever appreciate Lawless' books:

One enthusiastic woman wrote:

“Can you tell me when your next book will be out? My partner and me (sic) can't wait to try out your next one!”

From a reader in San Diego :

“We have five kids. I thought my sex life was over. Then I read Untamed, a gift from my best friend. My husband and I acted out every great scene. Thanks for giving me my marriage back.”

And from a male fan:

“I like to try new things in and out of the bedroom. Thanks for saving me the brain-strain.”

A Hard Man to Love is available for purchase at major bookstores and on-line bookstores. Kathleen Lawless' website is http://www.kathleenlawless.com. Kathleen Lawless is available for interviews.
