Following my heart, one book at a time...
IN THE MOOD FOR MARITAL STRIFE & DRAMA?
I mean…NOT in real life!!! In BOOKS. Always and only in books. ;)Yep. Some of us can’t resist the drama that comes with trying to hold a marriage together… or the drama of the aftermath. Or all of the details that cause a marriage to go south. It’s the topic of one of my most often requested recommendations lists (in various “romance” forms… divorce, infidelity, arranged marriages… life starting over and so on).
When I started the “genre categories” section on the blog, I received requests for a “cowboys” section, so I’m on it (along with a few “reader requests” for cowboy book recommendations) Leslie (and crew) asked:
Leslie: We have a cowboy themed challenge for November and would love to hear people’s faves (and maybe even variations like country music star H, etc). Think you could ask around?
Ela: Also, to add to Leslie’s comment….some of us would prefer a book about riding a cowboy….preferably US…. Just sayin’ for a friend.
Any hot & steamy and/or erotica to recommend? *waggles eyebrows* *ahem* Asking for a friend. 😉 No. Seriously. I am. LOL!!! 😛
‘Cause Julia is looking for some STEEEEEAAAMMM!!!!
She asks:
“What is your favourite steamy sex scenes book?? I haven’t read a good one in a long time lol!!”
Let’s make a list!! 😀
Maryse: Right off the bat, I’m going to say whoooooooooooo HOTNESS to these three:
Backstage Pass: Sinners on Tour by Olivia Cunning <— The WHOLE series in fact, but this one was just HOLY HOTNESS BATMAN HOT!!! Especially that very last scene. *oooooooooof* *fans self* Here’s my review.
Cindy: Just finished AROUSE (Spiral of Bliss #1) by Nina Lane…. and it did LOL
In our quest for more super-steamy “Reverse Harem” books, I found THESE reader recommendations right here on the blog! So I compiled them into a list. 😀
Fiona: Another good book by Alta Hensley & Maggie Ryan “Bride to Keep: A Dark Reverse Harem” is a reverse harem novel which I know is every second book out now; however this is a bit of a dark read about the H who is coerced to marry 4 brothers who have a notorious background in the mafia….they want to protect their sister & believe that the H is a bad influence on their baby sister so they basically kidnap her & their relationship transpires from here….a v good read as sometimes the reverse harem stories can get a bit stale… but this keeps you on your toes!
I’ve been noticing a steady stream of steamy reverse harem books at the top of the Amazon Kindle charts (and holding there… quite regularly, in fact)!
I thought I hadn’t read reverse harems before, but realize one of my first urban fantasy series addictions was Laurell K. Hamilton’s Anita Blake series (and oh boy does it ever evolve into a reverse harem situation). Oh yes it does.
And sure enough, when I started the “genre categories” section on the blog, I received requests for a “reverse harem” section.
