Did Passion Disappear Into a Minivan?

Ahoy Fellow Fathomers! Today in The Locker I discuss finding passion again. Where do you think it goes? So What’s All The Fuss? Over the past few weeks, I’ve researched the camps between Fifty Shades of Grey and Bared To You. Okay, come back, I’m not rehashing either book or reviewing either one.
