Mirror, Mirror (Spice Briefs) by Amanda McIntyre is a Recommended Read.  I love a good mystery and this short, erotic read delivers! Read my review

Would-Be Witch (Berkley Sensation) by Kimberly Frost is a Highly Recommended Read, but I have to warn you, there's not a lot of sex in this book. I couldn't stand not to recommend this book though—it really was that good. This book pulls off sexy without much sex and is the most fun I've had reading in ages!

Ravenous: The Dark Forgotten (Signet Eclipse) by Sharon Ashwood is a Highly Recommended Read. There's plenty of sexual tension in this vampire/witch romance, but it was light on the sex. Still, it's a sensually appealing romance that's great reading and I couldn't stand not to recommend it.

Pretty Poison (Luv Luv) by Yutta Narukami is a Recommended Read. This isn't my first erotic manga, but it was the first one I've been able to recommend without reservation. It's a surprisingly good “Ladies' Comic” of the erotic romance variety. If you enjoy comic books, graphic novels or the like, you really might like this one.

Really Unusual Bad Boys (Kensington Brava) by MaryJanice Davidson is a Recommended Read. This imaginative and fun book is an anthology of 3 connected short stories! I really enjoyed the dose of humor in this one.

I've got reviews in the hopper for each of these books. I just have to make the time to get them done! (Not so easy when I just want to be reading…)

Have you read anything great lately?

Saturday (or was it Friday?) I added the March 2009 Blaze books from Harlequin to the site.

I also recently added several books to the Berkley Sensation book list.

I've had several additions to the Recommended Reading list, and I've also updated my Current Reading list to pull together better info on what's on my to-be-read list and what is in the read-but-wating-to-be-reviewed queue. As you can see if you take a look at that page, I have several reviews to write and will hopefully be posting them soon!

Are you an erotic romance author or publisher seeking another way to get the word out about your contests? Do you have something an erotic romance reader might like to win? Submit your contest news to me so I can post it here on the blog!

I have no specific requirements for contest news, only that the contest be free to enter~and maybe fun for readers like myself. :-)

As always, I reserve the right to publish or not publish whatever I want on The Erotic Reader website. :-)

I've put up quite a few of the new and upcoming Harlequin Blaze romances. You can check them them out and buy or preorder them if you want.

I've updated my Lora Leigh book list. With the change over from static pages to a database, I just didn't get all the books for some authors entered and I'm working on them a bit at a time. However, now I've got a great many Lora Leigh books listed with plans to add more of Lora Leigh's books.

There are many more authors I need to get up to date on the site and if you have a preference for who you want updated first just let me know.

I'm excited to be getting the erotic romance lists all updated. :-) Here's to many more happy book updates.

I'm going to be able to get quite a few more erotic romance novels added to the site before the end of the month.

The books will update the Kensington Brava, Berkley Sensation, Spice Books, Harlequin Blaze, Avon Red and Ellora's Cave lists. The Ellora's Cave book list doesn't exist yet, but it will. :-)

The biggest targets of the update are the Sensation books and the Ellora's Cave.

I hope to add Samhain to the lists too.

Are there other hot publishers of erotic romance novels out there that I should consider adding?

I go mostly by the authors I like but sometimes I miss things because I don't read as much as I used to.

I'm definitely open to suggestion. :-)

Today I've added in the August 2008 Blaze books. Preorder now, if you aren't a member of the continuity program (readers club thing where you get the books shipped to you every month directly from Harlequin).

I also updated the Avon Red list. I know it's not complete, but I'm working on it. :-)

I have several books to read and review for the site, and I should be getting to them this week or next, so keep checking back for erotic romance recommendations.

So, I made plans to renew the newsletter and begin publishing it on a regular basis. Then I realized I still can't guarantee I have enough books to recommend on a particular schedule to make it worth my time to put it together. Of all the parts to this site, the newsletter seems to me to be the most difficult to keep a handle on. If I want to chat about erotic romance, I post here to the blog. If I want to recommend a book, I award it with the “recommended” title and that adds it to my recommended list.

So tell me, what do you get out of the newsletter—or am I wasting my time even worrying about it?

The June update has brought six new July 2008 Blaze titles to the site, along with several Spice books and Spice Briefs ebooks. Visit the pages to see the titles added. Read the rest of this entry »

I've mentioned before that I've been doing something of an overhaul to the site (behind the scenes, mostly). Although I had almost finished, there were a few things that still needed working on, and yesterday and today, I'm finally trying to wrap all that up.

I'm adding some of my improvements today. If anything goes haywire, don't worry about it. I have backups and I'm prepared to use them! Of course, that's only if I totally screw something up today, which I sincerely hope won't happen.

Anyway, today isn't the end all of the process, but a large chunk of updates are going to go online in a little while. Wish me luck. :-)

UPDATE: Things have gone pretty well. There were a few bugs and one that I still have to take care of. (Oops!) I still have data to load and a few other things, but like I said in a previous post, at first you're probably not even going to notice much at all! :-) Do let me know if you find problems though, because it might be something I don't know about.
