Quotes by L. Steele (?)

“When I listen to smut, I’m no longer a plus-sized girl with a guitar-shaped figure. I’m just another curvy girl ready to lose every ounce of my feminism when the narrator growls: "Are you going to give me what I want, little girl?”
― L. Steele, The Agreement

“You make me the kind of person I never thought I’d have the opportunity to be. You’re my other half, my better half, the twin to my consciousness, the reflection of my soul, my match, my mate, my partner.”
― L. Steele, The Proposal
