Saw a post on instagram today that made me think of this thread. DO NOT be embarrassed for reading smut. Here’s an excellent argument why.

Contemporary authors to try: Olivia Dade, Chloe Liese, Mhairi McFarlane, Sarah Adams

I like really smutty well written romance. My favorites are Minerva Spencer (the smuttiest of all) , Kresley Cole, Lisa Kleypas, Sierra Simone, Sylvia Day.

Indeed, but for those that can hang in there and keep going; Court of Mist & Fury, and Court of Silver Flames (Nesta+Cassian) blow book 1 out of the water.

I thought the beginning was slow, but it def picks up. Fourth wing is also good for romance and I liked the story too.

I think a lot of what folks have suggested is nothing like “literature”, but why would we want a detailed, well-written sex scene stifled by “literature.” For traditional historical romances Lisa Kleypas is an author to try. If anyone is looking for some new book boyfriends, look at Rebecca Daws.
