Hot romance novels?

Not sure if anyone has any clue about this.....

but does anyone read romance novels or something like that? Hot sexy books or stories to help them get in the mood?

Anyone? Recommendations? I've found reading some "literotica" online helps me get in the mood sometimes (my libido sucks), but I was wondering about romance novels (paperbacks) and the like since I've never read one.

Re: Hot romance novels?

  • I don't think your typical Harlequin romance novel is what you want.

    LOL perhaps not, but the only time I've seen a romance novel was when I opened one up to a random page at a bookstore and the scene was pretty racy, so I wasn't sure if they're just chock-full of that stuff or not.

  • Well there is romance and then there is shmut. 

    The difference shmut has sex before page 50. Romance waits until after page 50. 

    You have to get to know your authors.

  • You might want to try some anthologies. I believe there's about 20 years' worth of Best Women's Erotica available. Herotica has many volumes as well. Short stories involving all manner of sexual themes. If you're really adventurous and curious about BDSM, try the Marketplace series.

  • Amazon has a bunch for free to download to Kindle, just type in Erotica & sort by price. Also there is Smashword.com. Turn off the "Adult content" filter & you can search Erotica & they have many free ones as well

  • I have some hot erotica stories. Some are pretty hot and some I just skip past. The book?

    Naughty Stories from A to Z By Alison Tyler She actually has a list of these books up to volume 4 I believe.

    I purchased another book but have yet to read it by Anne Rice ( writing as A.N. Roquelaurie) called The Claiming of Sleeping Beauty

    Hope this helps! You don't want to go for Romance Novels but Erotic Novels.

  • good romance novels by julie garwood--loved em!
  • hit up a used book store and give one a try their like 99cents  ... i always found it frustrating that their is only one sex scene per book

    I absolutely LOVED this series! Probably not for everyone (lots of S&M and bisexuality) but I thought it was great. 

  • Be with Me By Maya Banks!  Awesome! It put me in the mood :-)

     

    Hell on Heels
  • I would try Lora Leigh. Her books are romance but have a ton of sex in them too.
  • I don't know what kinds you might like but I love cheesy sexy romance novels. Plus write then so have done tons of research. 

    Julie Garwood was mentioned and love her. She has modern and ones with old school warriors in kilts :)

    Funny vampire sexy books: lynsay sands. She cracks me up and gets steamy. She also has some regency era books as well that I enjoyed. 

    Modern with a little suspense: the trouble shooters series by suzanne brockmann

    All of these have around 3 sex scenes. And some fooling around ha. If you are looking for straight sex without too much story I would follow the suggestions on looking for erotica. Kirsten's archive has a lot on line.

  •   The average male can no more equal the performance of a paper back romance novel. Than can the average women off the street can walk the catwalk like a Victoria Secrete model.

      Save yourself the disappointment. 

  • I've never read the grocery store romance paperbacks myself (they're too ridiculous to me), but I have found some sweet novels. The Tea Rose by Jennifer Donnelly was really nice. I'm not much for sex scenes in novels unless there is a really good plot and Donnelly delivers.
  • I just read one called, Castaway Bride by Kandy Shepherd. It has a cute story, but then has a lot of sex and romance with lots of good detail ;) I would definitely check it out! It's an easy, quick read!
  • penthouse puts out a sex letters addition. That's as hot as it gets.
