Books with Hot sex and Great Stories too!
There is a difference between hot sexy books. Some books are all about the sex, and that’s OK, especially when you….ahem…. NEED it. But the books that really do it for me are the ones with an AMAZING story PLUS hot sex! Those would be my 4-5 star books/series with an above 4 star Heat rating. I will start this list with my 5/5s and go down from there. Most of these books cross with my other lists, What To Read After Fifty Shades of Grey, and My Favorite Dom/sub or BDSM Romance Novels. But I will add some straight up sexy books that may not be on other lists.
As with all of my lists, this list will change! Please, make some comments, and tell me your favorite sexy reads. Those books that you bookmark the sexy scenes to go back to when you need them.
I will feature the first in the series, with links to the rest. The books are in no particular order (except it starts with all 5/5s and goes down), because honestly, they are all my favorites when I’m reading them.
These books are super hot…..so make sure you have your man around. If not, I will suggest you visit my Red Room of Pain/erotic playroom for those times when you are alone, or just want to spice it up.
5 stars, 5 for heat:
The Sinners on Tour series by Olivia Cunning features a different member of a popular rock band in each book. The first book in the series is Backstage Pass. These books are fun and HOT HOT HOT!!!!

Masters of the Shadowlands Series by Cherise Sinclair. Cherise is the MASTER of masters. Holy crap, this woman can write Doms well.

The Fifty Shades series by E.L. James. I know, you’ve all read it, but I can’t put this list together without this series. I mean really. The story wins out on this one.

HeatherRoun says
This Man and Beneath This Man by Jodi Ellen Malpas. Great story and hot!!
Candice Royer says
Nicole Edwards books need to be in the 5 stars, 5 for heat section!!
Holly says
I totally agree with your Olivia reviews. She’s my favorite too. But to put Fifty Shades on this same list? Really? Absolutely No Way! Even though the story line is good, the writing style is so embarrassingly amateurish and sub-standard it’s sickening. When I read it, it pissed me off so badly, I couldn’t stand it. Also, there is something crazy sexy about MM romances (I recommend Collide by Riley Hart), actually, Olivia had me hooked through Sinners and Trey, and many of us like dark, dangerous and edgy (books by Kitty Thomas and Annabel Joseph, for example). A really good kidnap story is The Heart Has Reasons by Martine Marchand – ugh, so good. Just sayin’ 🙂
Ana's Attic says
Fifty Shades is the book that got women reading again, especially hot books!
Holly says
Oh, and don’t miss the Sound Wave Series by Michelle Pace and Tammy Coons (Fury #1, and Rage #2 just came out). Good rock star romance!
