Like your romance HOTTER? SEXIER? More SIZZLING? More RED?

You’ve come to the right place.

Erotic romance isn’t for everyone, which is why I have a separate “site within a site” for my erotic works. If you’re under the age of eighteen, you should have navigated away at my initial warning. If you didn’t, please do so now. The content on this page isn’t appropriate for you. If you like your romance sweet, with sex behind closed doors, then you won’t like this content either. But if you like to push the envelope, experience romance with a heavy emphasis on the developing sexual relationship between the hero and heroine, and you don’t mind graphic lovemaking and language, give erotic romance a try.

What is erotic romance? This question is easier answered by explaining what erotic romance ISN’T. First of all, erotic romance is not pornography. Pornography is written (or filmed) only to sexually arouse. There may be a plot, or there may not be. But there will be explicit sex, usually with more than one partner, and sometimes partners of the same sex. Erotic romance is not erotica. Erotica is sexually explicit writing which has a plot and is more literary in nature than pornography. There is often a sexual journey of sorts, and there isn’t always a happy ending.

Erotic Romance is, at its core, romance. As in any romance, there is a well developed hero and a well developed heroine, both with goals, motivation, and conflict. There is a plot. And there are love scenes. The difference between erotic romance and traditional romance is that the love scenes are longer, more explicit, and contain graphic language. Sometimes the scenes will contain elements of alternative lifestyles, such as BDSM. But the love scenes serve a purpose other than to arouse (although sometimes they do!) or to illustrate a character’s self-discovery (although sometimes they do!) The love scenes exist to develop the relationship between the hero and heroine, and to help move the plot along to its ending, which will, of course, be a happy one. This is still romance, after all.

Some of my favorite erotic romance authors are: Angela Knight, Susan Lyons, and Renee Knowles.
