For kicks, I thought I’d list the top ten erotic romance books on my keeper shelf. They are in no particular order, because I couldn’t/can’t rank them. They’re all great! And, for the most part, they’re all older titles–the first books in series.

By the way, I could easily pick multiple titles from each of these authors, but I’m intentionally choosing only one. So if any of these authors are new to you, you’ll want to check out their entire backlists. And so, without further ado…

• Sasha White's Show Me The Money If you aren't aware, there are a couple authors over on the GenReality blog who are foolish brave enough to share their actual sales figures for their books.

• Review #2: Lust's Temptation And another review of Lust's Temptation! This one is by Amazon Nymph at Literary Nymphs. S/he gave it 4.5 nymphs. The second book in the Masters of Sin series, Lust’s Temptation, was a pleasant surprise. Though Lust’s Temptation follows the concept of Lust divided into two men, the relationship between......

• Fifty Places to Play Golf Before You Die: Golf Experts Share the World's Greatest Destinations by Chris Santella Whether you are a die hard golfer, or just someone that likes to dream big, this is an incredible book. Inevitably, when you're dealing with a book that lists the "50 Best", you're going to have a lot of controversy. Instead of getting bent out of shape that perhaps your......
• Review: Trouble in Paradise by Lynn Byer Trouble in Paradise has a lot of good things going for it: the action takes place, for the most part, on a cruise. I haven't read many cruise-oriented books. Along with romance, there is a serious sub-plot, determining if someone is committing insurance fraud. The book is self-published by the......
• How to Get Through a Bad Book by First Mate Keira Once I was in an English class where the teacher brought out a list of books – thirty some titles long – one for each class member. We were to do a 10 page report on our selected book and had a month and a......
