Why I Love Erotic Romance … it’s getting hot

The Romance Reviews Erotic Romance Madness Hop
Have you ever flipped through a book to get to the “good parts?” How about doing a “search” on your e-reader for keywords such as “cock?” The Romance Reviews put up the challenge in this Erotic Romance Madness Hop, and I’ve decided to go mad.

Participants can enter to win a few prizes:


  1. $10 gift certificate to Ravenous Romance
  2. .pdf copy of one of the books on my backlist
In order to enter, leave a comment with your email address. And, since it's my Blog Anniversary this weekend -- whoo-hoo, one year: Follower me on Twitter and Facebook (and let me know), and you will be entered into a separate contest for a $10 Ravenous gift card. (If you're already my friend, drop me a line and you'll be entered.)


When it comes to erotic romance, the sexier the better. Sure, readers want to imagine the writers living fabulous and passion-filled lives – and I’m not saying we don’t … But, we also like to get our kicks reading other fantasies, too!

Before I get into my one review, let me explain that I don’t think all erotic romance is hard-core. In fact, I enjoy the diversity of a fanciful historical with some tender lovemaking, science fiction that pushes the limits and paranormal that explores a sometimes darker side.



Back Door Lover, edited by Debra Hyde, stands out when it comes to taking a taboo subject and making it oh, so sexy. I’ve had the pleasure of meeting Hyde in person, and talk about unassuming! You wouldn’t sit next to her on a train and think, “She writes erotic romance.” Then again, people often say the same thing to me.

From traditional M/F stories where the male takes the dominant role, to marriages that need a little pick-me-up and the wife brings home a strap-on, the anthology offers a variety of happy endings. (Pun totally intended.) Those that have read my debut erotic thriller Sex University: Physical Education know that anal play isn’t a new literary foray. I won’t highlight any particular story, simply because I’ve read, and enjoyed, them all.

Remember to visit other stops on the hop by clicking through on The Romance Reviews graphic above. And, you don’t need to do all the stops on one day. The hop runs through May 14 at 11:59 p.m. EST.

And, BTW, if you win … Back Door Lover is available via Ravenous Romance. Go ahead, download it. No one will tell!

  14. I love reading erotica and I'll admit, sometimes I do skip to the good parts too, but only when i remember which part of the book its at. I've never gone and searched up certain words, but I'll definitely do that next time!

  15. Totally laughing about corrupting readers. I don't *always* search for the good parts! Really. And just to clarify for any new readers, I only have one m/m novel. My other books are M/F with some menage, and one full-length F/F. I'm all over the board!

  25. Appreciate all the comments, and I'm so glad to hear that many have enjoyed my first book. I spent the day at the OCC/RWA meeting today, and we were discussing how characters sometimes won't leave us alone. As I finished up book 3, I knew that there would be a book 4. But now one more character is glaring at me, she wants her story completed, so we'll have to see.

    And the "searching for the good parts" . Really, I didn't mean to be a bad influence!
