Since I’ve
come to the dark side and am now enjoying a small but growing variety of erotic
romance I’ve been asking myself why it took
so long and what the catalyst was. Well the catalyst is easy; it was my best
friend brow beating me into reading the 50 Shades of Grey trilogy. She wanted
to see the movie and persuaded me to go with her when it came out and made me
promise to read all three books before we did. Well this was in the fall of
2014 and I thought I had plenty of time to get the job done by early 2015, but
as all you who are growing older know time flies, plus procrastinator that I am
and soon it was late January and I hadn’t opened a single book.
So begrudgingly I did and was very surprised to like it. Was it literary
fiction, no? But I have been known to love steamy romances. I did review the
Harlequin Presents line for RT Magazine and they get pretty steamy. So I guess I have her to thank for creating this particular monster.
And that got me thinking of other racy, sultry, line-crossing romances that I also loved.
