Tricia

You mean “fade to black” or assumed sex or none at all?

@Bridget what have you read already? Just getting an idea of what you’ve tried

Ones I really enjoyed in the romance department are The lunar chronicles, winners curse trilogy obviously (which was just about right for me), Caraval, Shannon Hale’s series, cruel beauty…

Ones I didn’t like were wintersong (lol all I could imagine was the secretary from Mean Girls writing her steamy scenes), Sarah j maas…just scenes that are over the top or happen too soon in the story

@Cari Traitor Prince might be my favorite

@Tricia lol maybe I’ll just go straight to that then ? are they connected storyline wise? Do I HAVE to read wish granter?

0
Tricia

No, not really. It’s in a different kingdom and if the other characters are mentioned it’s more like being referred to as “the King and Queen of this land over here…”

Awesome! Then I’ll try it but no worries lol

Rachel Marks is really good about putting lots of heat into books without graphic sex. There’s fade to Black scenes.

Kirsten Osburne (may not have her name spelled correctly) writes medieval and westerns with lots of sweet, heated kisses and nothing else. She does do after the couple is married love scenes in some books. But i’m sure they’re not the over the top type.

Anne rice wrote erotic under the names Anne Rapling and A. N. Roquelaure back then.

Her early Witching Hour, Taltos, Lasher books were naughty

Still.. the witching hour is a great series and the sexy bits are very… Innocuous.

She doesn’t give details, but alludes to the sexy

@Tricia usually it’s just cringey for me! Lol I like reading the romance and love and mushy stuff, if I want more I’ll just get the real thing from the hubs ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

And I don’t mean that in a judgey way..just explaining my side. Not that I owe that sort of explanation to anyone *cough cough*

I’m actually going to read the Witching Hour because it fills a spot on my Popsugar Reading Challenge.

Matthew

@Tricia it’s a very good series.

Still to this day, lasher and Taltos are two of my favorite books.. s d I read them when I was 15.

Witching hour is meh…

It’s very slow and often boring.. but it lays SO MUCH foundation for the rest of her books that it is a Must Read.

@Matthew Witching Hour has the dubious honor of being published the year I graduated so it filled an important spot on my challenge

Filinsky Neko Chan you really need to read them all, in order.

The Mayfair witches is a very long and detailed storyline.

You couldn’t possibly appreciate how well written the books are without the context of the previous books

@Matthew you’ve got a point there .

An old favorite of mine is The Mediator series by Meg Cabot. And Vampire Academy and Bloodlines by Richelle Mead. They’re both really great with the romances.

Let’s keep the discussion clean guys… each to his own but the discussion should stay PG-13 at the very least
