I have to confess something. Don’t judge me, but I hate how romance novels sometimes leave me craving for more. I mean, don’t get me wrong, I love most of the things about our romance genre, the tension between the characters, their slow evolution, and their journey towards each other. But let’s be honest, those are not the real reasons why we end up picking these books one after the other and stay up reading them most nights. The stories are great and all, but we need the action, the satisfactory conclusion to the slow build-up we suffered through the words. Yes, I am talking about the sex scenes, to be crass but clear.
And that is precisely where my new favorite sub-genre comes into the picture. Since we have the need to know our characters and their stories well, Erotica just won’t do it. So, if you haven’t already, you need to discover Erotic Romance novels already. And here, let me help you. Scroll on to know some of my absolute favorites. Check them out even if you are a connoisseur of the sub-genre already.
