Sex in the City

Fifty Shades of Grey. Erotica. Porn. Mummy Porn. Bondage. Slash fiction.

People are into sex.

Shock. Horror. I know.

For something that is such a natural part of who we are we certainly seem to get awfully upset about it.   Someone writes a book with a few sex scenes in it and suddenly everyone has something to say and most of it not very good.

It always strikes me as just a little bit odd that we get so riled about two girls kissing, two guys kissing, a little bondage and so on and yet descriptions of someone attacking another, maiming them, hurting them, breaking a few bones or worse and we can't wait to turn another page let alone complain about it.

Violence it seems is tolerated.  Even acceptable.

Surprisingly as it might be to some but 'sexy' books have been around for quite a while.  Lady Chatterley's Lover, Story of O - sex in books in not something new and  the demand for erotic fiction has never been so hot as it has in the last year.  Which just goes to show that porn, erotic fiction, call it what you will - people want to read books that appeal to them on a sexual and personal level.

So if you're looking for something just a little bit steamy, to warm those cold winter nights check out some of the titles below.

Cowboys down / Barbara Elsborg.

"Jasper hopes a getaway to a Wyoming dude ranch help him overcome a deep-seated phobia about horseback riding. He hadn’t counted on an attraction to the dude ranch owner’s son, a man with sun-tousled hair, eyes bluer than Wyoming skies. The moment Calum lays eyes on the wide-eyed Brit, he’s lost."

Lover at last / J.R. Ward.

"Qhuinn is used to being on his own. Disavowed from his bloodline, he has finally found an identity as one of the most brutal fighters in the war against the Lessening Society. But his life is not complete. His heart is  given to another.... Blay, after years of unrequited love, has moved on from his feelings for Qhuinn. And it's about time: The male has found his perfect match in a Chosen female."
