I meant to post this last week while on my annual anniversary trip, but couldn’t get wifi. I don’t know how the hell it happened since there is no way I’m old enough for this, but I have been married half of my life now (which is more than 20 years!) I met my husband when I was 19. He swept me off my feet, and I had insta-love.
We’ve had out ups and downs, but after two kids and over 25 years since we met, I can easily say our marriage is better than ever. You know what helps? Books! Every time I read about an amazing hero in a book, it makes me realize that my guy is like that too.
And of course, the book sex totally helps me keep up with his very active libido, which after over 25 years together (and me gaining a lot of weight) hasn’t waned one bit.
While I’m celebrating my wedding anniversary, Katie Ashley has the anniversary of her book, The Proposition. It was a year ago when I read and fell in love with The Proposition. That was also the first review I added gifs to. I fell for Katie, and couldn’t wait to meet her at the first Wicked Book Weekend. This March, Katie will be attending her 3rd Wicked Book Event, and this is the book that started it all. And since the second in the Proposition Series is obviously wedding related, it fits the theme, so Katie has generously donated a signed copy of both The Proposition and The Proposal. (U.S. please)
The Proposition

The Proposal
by Katie Ashley
See my review and Interview with Emma
Most of my favorite romances are about the couple first meeting and falling in love. But after so many years together, it’s also a pleasure to read about a long-time married couple revving up their sex life. Erika Wilde has kindly donated 5 copies of your choice, paperback or ebook of her hot-as-hell box set of The Marriage Diaries vol 1-4. (paperbacks to U.S. only)
THE MARRIAGE DIARIES (Volumes #1 – #4)

My husband doesn’t mind my reading. He rolls his eyes about it and makes jokes, but I know he doesn’t care. I think he enjoys the benefits from my reading erotic romance!
My favorite married couple has to be Frank and Wendy, from What Wendy Wants by Nikki Sexx. This story is about a married couple who has fallen into a rut with their intimate relationship, and she indulges in reading of romance/erotica. He discovers what’s on her kindle and realizes what is lacking in their relationship. It’s a great marriage story! You should all check it out!

Mr and Mrs Gavin Blake would be my favorite married couple.
Samantha Kirby says
Happy Anniversary! I guess you could call me a stay at home mom with 4 kids under the age of 6. ( I work 16hrs every other weekend). I read a couple chapters here and there throughout the day to pass time. When I first started reading, it bothered my hubby. At first he tried to sabotage my reading by hiding the power cord on me and or scrolling a head by like 50 pages ( Thank god for password protected apps) Once I explained to him that “I can read while you watch FOOTBALL or HUNTING and were spending time together and enjoying our own likes. He was all in favor of my reading then. I luv to read Romance Novels – Young Adult, New Adult, and Erotica. I have learned quite a bit and all in all…..he comes out a head and not complaining. 🙂 Favorite Couple: Ava and Mason Fox….. My #2 favorite series: NSC Series by D H Sidebottom. Of Course nothing can Top Mr. C Grey and Ana Steele as #1 Series.
Angel Cullen says
My favorite married couple would of course be Mr. and Mrs. Grey!!!

Happy Anniversary! My husband gets jealous of my books. He doesn’t understand that me reading is the only thing that keeps me sane and playing nicely with others. 😉 He doesn’t like the genre either, since I like to read erotica w/ poly & BSDM. To his credit he has bought me book GCs for my Bdays. I bought SM 101 and marked my favs. 😀
Melissa Crisp says
It only annoys him if he doesn’t get any action after I’m done. I don’t really have a fave married couple. They are really whatever couple I’m reading about at that moment and then it changes as I change books. lol
Scara says
My husband has his TV, I have my books – so we are both fine 🙂
My favourite married couple is definitely Mr. & Mrs. Grey 🙂

As far as my husband goes cpnsidering liking my reading….. sometimes he thinks I’m ignoring him. He does not like to read at all. He does not see the words playing like a movie in his head like my daughter and I do and for that I am deeply saddened. 🙁 I would be lost without the different worlds and place a book could take me too. He did buy me a new kindle fire HD with a bigger screen and more memory and took my older one and he just started to read a book. There is hope for him yet. 🙂
Elizabeth says

Trudy Spraker says
Happy Anniversary!!! My husband and I use to read together but over the years he reads less and I read a bit (ok, ALOT) more. We have an understanding that I read only during shows that he likes (usually sports) that I do not or when he is gone. It’s a pretty good arrangement as I will get sucked in to a book and basically disappear until I finish it, but he knows if its a GREAT book all rules are off until I’m done! He complains but after almost 20 years he has learned to accept that me and books go hand-in-hand. I think he gives me a hard time just because that is who he is but underneath I think he’s grateful for his guy time that it allows him & for the fact that if reading is my worst addiction then he’s got it made. 🙂
Nicole says
I’m sure I could read a little less lol
Becki Wyer says
I’m not married anymore, but my ex-husband used to constantly interrupt me when I was reading. He always said interrupting me was okay because I wasn’t doing anything important. (One of the reasons he’s now my ex lol).

I read a lot and it’s not unusual for me to finish a whole book in 1 day. My husband doesn’t mind me reading at all but I find it funny because it seems like everytime I open my book that’s when he chooses to have a conversation with me or when my son chooses to need something lol
Nasha Lama says

Jenny Zymola says

Samantha Kurtz says
My husband is really not a reader at all, so he really just doesn’t get it. Whatever tho! I love it!
dawn ruchel says
One of the very first books i read was Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier, and i fell in love with her and Max de Winter. How she learns to know who she is and the truth of his first wife Rebecca and her death. As for marriage, well i just singed my divorce papers and reading is the one thing that has helped me forget and get past the pain of it all over the past several years.
Nicki says
Happy Anniversary!! My husband does think I read too much, but he watches too much tv so we’re even 🙂

Michele Allen says
Happy Anniversary! It was just 8 years for my husband and I last month. But I have known him half my life so I kinda know how you feel! Well I haven’t actually read any Katie Ashley books yet. They are definitely on my TBR but I keep getting sucked into series and I haven’t found a lot of time for new ones. So hopefully I can win and I won’t have any more excuses!
Kerri M says
Im not married but my boyfriend hates that i read all of the time!!!
Candi says
My husband did, until he got his own Kindle!
Brandy Gibson says
My husband doesn’t mind me reading but loves to comment on how I “zone out” and don’t notice anything around for quite a while. He also doesn’t mind when I read something sexy because he reaps the benefits 🙂
Crystal Schroth says
My husband jokingly says I love my books more than him,but he likes the fact I get alot of ideas 🙂
Julie Kerr says

yohanna baez says

Jennifer Zorko-Legan says
He hated it! Yet he would buy me books to keep me quite. After a while I got wise to his games and kicked him to the curb 🙂
Carolyn J says
My husband of 41 years love that i am reading and reading to him the hot erotic novels that i am into, has made for some hot sex even after all these years
Holly Craft says
My husband doesn’t mind it because that means I wont give him crap for the stuff he does lol. One of my many favorite book couples Is Gunner and Ellie in Wanted by Kelly Elliott, but I have sooo many others. Thanks for the giveaway!
Clare says
My husband doesn’t mind me reading – he says he ends up reaping the benefits anyway!!
Trish says
i sometimes have to be reminded that he needs attention too 😉
Carra says
DH doesn’t mind me reading. He’ll be away for work and call me, ask me what I’m doing…I’ll say I’m reading and he’ll respond, “of course you are”. Since we always make time for each other, he just takes my reading so much in stride. Favorite married couple in a book/series would probably be Mr. and Mrs. Weasley from the Harry Potter series…they’re just too cute and funny, but absolutely perfect for each other.
Desiree Putaski says
My husband doesn’t mind me reading. And he doesn’t really care what I read. Sometimes, if it’s a really good book, or an exceptionally good part of a book I share it with him. He could probably tell you all about my favorites too!
And Happy Anniversary!!
Sabrina D. says
Happy Anniversary! Thanks for the giveaway! I am married and my husband does not mind my reading too much. Only if it interferes with something. My favorite married couple would have to be Christian and Ana.
Emily says
Congrats on your anniversary! My fave married couple is Isaac and Stacy from Under the Mistletoe with Me by Kristen Proby 🙂
Denise says
Happy Anniversary! My husband only get’s upset with my constant reading when we are laying in bed and I tell him “let me finish this chapter” and an hour later finally turn off the lights.
Ajw says

Happy Anniversary!
Pepper Wooten says
As long as I snuggle him to sleep first and don’t wake him up or read during family time, my hubby loves that I read! He knows it keeps me happy and it keeps our 14.5 year marriage bed hot!
Pepper Wooten says
It won’t accept my previous answer for entry
Candice Grogan says
I am not yet married but I think reading all these books are starting to up my standards for what I want in a marriage 😉
Carrie Marie says
