Confessions of a Cougar

Author Morgan St. James tells the story of how she became a "COUGAR" with a combination of humor, sexual exploits set in England and Holland as they were in the 1980s.

Names have been changed, but almost everything else is true. She and her friend, both 42 at the time, took a trip to England completly paid for by Morgan's cheating millionaire boyfriend.

St. James says: "In modern times the term “Cougar” no longer just applies to those sleek cats who identify and stalk their prey. Now it can also mean older women on the prowl for much younger men. I confess, I didn't begin the trip on the prowl, but somehow I became a member of the pack. Did I consciously choose to join? Never! It crept up on me during this extraordinary trip, and oh what a thrilling adventure it was, filled with steamy, torrid affairs—but hold on, I’m getting ahead of myself."

Was the fact that this millionaire boyfriend who so generously paid for the trip for Morgan and her sidekick was six years younger make her a "Cougar? Definitely not. She'd dated lots of younger men back then. But thanks to some wonderfully sexy young guys in England, what happened there definitely earned her stripes.
