Hello Darling Readers,
My name is Alyssa and I am the owner and operator of Between The Covers Co!
I grew up in a conservative household where conversations about sex were off limits, self exploration was discouraged, and purity was prioritized. Books became my escape. Whether it was YA romances where relationships were built on consent, emotional depth, and gave space to explore my sexuality in a healthy way or fantasy worlds with strong female leads, I had the freedom to truly be myself.
As I grew into womanhood, now a wife and a mother, I found myself reconnecting with the romance and fantasy genre and discovered how these books actively helped me heal from trauma including SA and domestic violence. Our brains process fictional experiences in a way that closely mirrors real life events. When we engage with narratives that depict safe and consensual intimacy, our nervous system receives a “safe exposure” to what healthy desire and connection can feel like. This can facilitate the reframing of beliefs about intimacy and can provide both emotional growth and a comforting escape.
What society often shames, became my pathway to reclaiming my sensuality and embracing my desires without guilt or fear (having a supportive partner also helps). Now, I want to empower others to take back their sexual power, explore their own desires, and dive into their sensuality with confidence, free from judgment. Thanks for coming along for the ride! Come find your next adventure in love and maybe even a little liberation.
XOXO- Lyss
