Karelia Stetz-Waters

    Tato autorka píše romány s přesahem do společenských témat, které nazývá „so-ro“ (zkratka pro romantiku s přesahem). Každý její příběh se soustředí na lesbickou romanci a zároveň se zabývá palčivými společenskými problémy, jako je gentrifikace nebo obchodování s lidmi. Její knihy jsou čtivé a zábavné, přesto čtenáře nečekaně obohacují o nový pohled na svět. Díla jsou napsána poutavým stylem, který nutí k zamyšlení, a zároveň si zachovávají lehkost napínavého vyprávění.

      Opposites attract in this playful and laugh-out-loud rom-com from Lambda Award finalist Karelia Stetz-Waters. Cade Elgin has a life and career in New York City, and she's determined to get back to both as soon as possible after her aunt's funeral in Portland. However, when she unexpectedly inherits her aunt's sex toy store -- and has to save it from foreclosure -- Cade realizes she's not going anywhere. But making Share the Love profitable won't be as easy as Cade had hoped. Her new partner has an infuriating lack of business sense, and an infuriating ability to turn Cade on. Selena Mathis knows that nothing is more important than saving Share the Love. Not her pride, not her inconvenient attraction toward her new business partner. Cade may be more buttoned-up than Selena usually goes for, but that doesn't mean she doesn't know how to turn the store around. But the more they work together, the harder it becomes for Selena to ignore her growing feelings for Cade. And she starts to wonder if there is something more important than saving Share the Love.
