So OP said “well written,” which is completely subjective but I’m thinking literary-ish fiction…? OP please clarify bc my recommendations will vary. When I was young I read a ton of Jackie Collins- very steamy! The writing was to the point, but certainly not winning any literary awards.


Hehe, let’s get some literary fiction romance with explicit sex scenes suggestions, please.

The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo- really interesting plot and steamy at parts.

I also thought The Red Tent, by Anita Diamant, was quite good.


How is the Red Tent sexually explicit? I must have forgotten those parts.

2nd the rec for The Kiss Quotient. I was not expecting it to be so steamy! Also a very good book.

Katee Robert is another author who writes erotica really well. Some of her books are more explicit than others. She’s got a pretty large backlist.

Sarah MacLean is whip smart. I love her. I'm going to add a few with links to their profiles on GR.
