Most women want sex. Not just love. Sex. But the same desire that our culture celebrates in men can leave women feeling anxious, insecure, emotionally attached, or even ashamed. Enough. In Hookup Without Heartbreak, world-renowned intimacy and relationship coach Lia Holmgren teaches women how to let go of those negative feelings and reclaim their sexual freedom. Learn how to deal with hookups who ghost you, multiple partners, unclear communication, lousy sex, that crush on your friend with benefits, exploring your fantasies while managing your expectations-even how to know who's worth hooking up with in the first place. With signature humor and honesty, Lia offers straightforward advice as only Lia can. From the history and science behind hooking up to the do's and don'ts of casual sex, Hookup Without Heartbreak covers everything you need to know before you slip into that little black dress for your next date.

Reeling from the sudden, shattering implosion of her twenty-eight-year marriage, single mother and health care professional Elizabeth Mahoney turns to online dating sites in hopes of finding a way to heal and move ahead with her life. Instead, she discovers that the site is rife with opportunists who prey on emotionally vulnerable women. After a dizzying series of experiences with a scammer who exploits her trust and intimate confidences to rob her, sexters, married men looking for something on the side and other questionable Lotharios, Elizabeth becomes romantically involved with a man looking for his dream woman in cyberspace. With sardonic wit, keen psychological analysis and a wisdom born of bitter experience, Scandal, Heartbreak, and Deceit reveals how easily a woman can fall prey to a victimizer if trauma has rendered her susceptible, and provides irrefutable evidence that dating sites and apps are nothing but tricks, lies and scams. In a post #MeToo era, the author examines the dangerous misogynistic attitudes of powerful men, Internet subcultures and other online predators, and discusses the risks of online dating for women. Beyond the author’s own misadventures on Match.com, Scandal, Heartbreak and Deceit brings to light the many faces of intimacy, and shares personal stories of Canadian, U.S. and U.K. women in a modern hook-up culture. Varied perspectives on dating, casual encounters, friends with benefits, serial monogamy and polyamory, including the millennial experience of dating and cohabiting, are explored.
