books to read...

MadisonsWorld started this discussion · 9/13/2012

Ok, so I figured this would be good group of women to ask...hopefully not offensive to anyone...I am not into reading books, well that was until this summer...I am not one to give into the hype of things..that being said,gave into it and decided to read 50 shades out of curiousity...well, I enjoyed it..notto mention my husband loved the idea of me reading that kind of material...well now, I am looking for more books along the lines of adult erotica...the problem is where do you go to after reading 50? I read colters woman and the the sequels, started reading bared to you,but it was too much like 50 shades,and didn't hold my attention...so basicly looking for some suggestions...I am currently reading hunger games, but still enjoy the other books...

Check out The Sleeping beauty trilogy by Anne Rice: Beauty's Release, Beauty's punishment & The claiming of sleeping beauty. Basically, it's a twisted & sensual tale of what happens after prince charming wakes sleeping beauty. Target sells it the cheapest or if you have Kindle of course you can download it for your Kindle. I read a few more that I really liked a couple of years ago, when I remember the names, I'll post them here for you as well.

lol reading 50 shades was like reading a disney book for me the erotica in it was pretty tame. You looking for BDSM erotica or just erotica?

There is a convention held here every year called Romanticon put on by Ellora's Cave. They have a whole line of books (I have not read any of them). They have all of their "Cave Men" at the event. http://ellorascave.com/

I loved Megan Harts books Broken and Dirty, erotic and are beautifully written with a good story, Lorelei James books are full of cowboys, menages mild BDSM and more hot cowboys. Also Dangerous boys and their toys by Shayla Black, sweet persuasion by maya Banks check out the reviews on Amazon to see if they're what you are looking for.

just read Nikki Gemmell With my body and loved it, though I think its a case of love or hate it from the reviews.
MadisonsWorld · 9/13/2012
I just got the sweet series by Maya banks...so gonna read those and see if it tickles my fancy..hehe

Sandra Brown hands down!!! She writes these thrillers and includes some naughty action in there too, lol. Really great books. I've read The Switch, The Witness and Mirror Image so far, and I really recommend them.
SophieP · 9/24/2012
I agree with GiedreB, I LOVE Sandra Brown, Envy is the last one I read, I loved it! Lethal is also one of my favorites. You could also make an account on sites like goodreads.com where you can enter and rate the books you have read and loved and they give you suggestions of books to read according to your entries. I love this site!

I haven't read much of her books myself, only a short story so far, but I have read GREAT reviews about Opal Carew. From what I have read, the stories are steamy and decently written. http://www.opalcarew.com Happy reading!

I don't normally pimp my own stuff, but if ever there was an appropriate time to do so... I write adult romance (meaning the sex in my books is descriptive and can be erotic in nature). I don't have quite as many sex scenes as FSOG, but definitely more than HG, lol. The series I have out now is paranormal light. Anyway, if you're interested, my website is here: http://www.cdhussey.com/ but Amazon is probably a better place to check it out: http://www.amazon.com/CD-Hussey/e/B004XDMH3S Other books I recommend... if you like YA, Angelfall was a great Indie read. For typical paranormal romance (and really well done sex scenes), you can't go wrong with the first 4-5 books in JR Ward's Black Dagger series.

Try "The Story of O".
Hazelnut · 9/26/2012
DEFINITELY the story of O! The original BDSM novel! :D If you're into the psychology/theory/real life examples of BDSM, look for Ilona Paris's books. She's a sexual therapist and used to be a dominatrix as well, and she writes a range of stuff from "beginners guides" to scientific papers. not quite novels but their super easy to read and some of the stuff in her guides is pretty erotic (not to mention gives you good ideas) ;)

I read the Fifty Shades trilogy in 2 weeks. I love how the writing sucked me in. Waiting for another writer who can do it, Harry Potter books similar (odd). What turned me on was the mannerism of Christian hand running thru his hair and various smiling. It was like- real. And the rich man buying her stuff. I have always said "Let's go dutch because it's fair, and my name's Dutch." No man ever argued with me on that, pout. Because my dad was like Christian- felt emasculation if a woman would attempt to split or buy. Told me to find a man that would treat his princess like a respectable lady, and in turn he will get his princess. I want to feel like I'm worth being treated on, at least dinner dates. Yeah all the other frills where a turn on, but thats because I'm self deprived of gifts from others. Could not stand ANA. I was Christian dump Ana I'm here, willing, obedient! (anyone feel the same?) I'm into erotica, other genres. I heard Grey's was BDSM focused so I was weary of getting into THAT and what curiosity could become. This is mild - for anyone hesitant. Just google erotica, you can find a lot of webpages for different genres and there are books- like Best of Erotica 2012, like a story or writer, seek that out. Enjoy!

Ohhh fifty shades <3 just read the first and second in a week! Going of to buy the last one in 10 min. Its not too hard, when it comes to SM. But what I love is the story. Bdsm between two lovers is soo hot, compared to someone you just play with. The way she breaks him down. Hopefully I can find more of this stuff somewhere!
MadisonsWorld · 10/14/2012
If u haven't already bought the book, u can download it for free on 4shared.com
CreativityBySteffie · 10/14/2012
Great tip, thanks! :) I have already bought it though. But its okay, I love touching the books, and having them as decor when Im done reading.
MadisonsWorld · 10/14/2012
If you liked fifty, another good read is Captured In The Dark and Seduced in the Dark by CJ Roberts.
NinaPoles · 10/14/2012
For those who liked Fifty Shades but want a stronger female character, check out the Merry Gentry series by Laurell K. Hamilton, which starts with A Kiss of Shadows. It actually has a great story, a kick-ass heroine, and the hottest collection of guys (oh yes, there's many of them) in any series I've read!:) http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/139417.A_Kiss_of_Shadows

MissKitty83 · 10/18/2012
If you're into historical romance with explicit sex scenes, check out Lynne Marie's books "the Seahawk's sanctuary" and "The Lion's Lair". I also love Laurell k Hamilton's Anita Blake series (first book "Guilty Pleasures") and Meredith Gentry series. The anita series doesn't really get into the sex untilaster the first couple of books, but they're so good you won't care. Meredith Gentry series is LOTS of hot fairy sex.
NinaPoles · 10/20/2012
I agree with MissKitty83, Anita Blake is definitely worth the read! The first five books are almost completely sex free, but it sure picks up after that! :P

OMG This is my idea of Christian Grey: Simon Baker in The Devil Wears Prada. NO one else (I know) has read 50 to go 'oh yeah' Just sat down after work to veg and turned on the movie, I thought I was day dreaming they made the movie. Too bad he might look a tad old for the part (nowadays) someone just say- oh yea, I could see that.
