a Rafflecopter giveaway
I really love the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day.
I have a lot of favorites. One is Laid Bare by Lauren Dane.
Favorite Erotic Romance ? Not sure what qualifies – how about the Tumblecreek series by Victoria Dahl
The Cut and Run series by Abigail Roux are my favorite!
I haven’t read much erotic romance, but I did like Kit Rocha’s Beyond Shame.
I have so many favorite genres…love the crossfire series and the cut & run series!
I like anything by Charlotte Stein.
There are so many authors I hadn’t heard of in the giveaways. It’s great! I love finding a new favorite.
I see Kristen Ashley’s Mystery Man is among these.
While not exactly a romance, I love Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners series
I have to pick just one?! I love Lauren Dane’s Brown Sibling series; and Lorelei James’ Rough Riders…and then there is Cherise Sinclair whose books I’ve read and re-read a million times I think. (I think she’s erotic romance genre, right?). Her Master of the Mountain book is in my top 5 books of all time. Love that one. And Kristen Ashley has her anti-hero series with Knight, Creed and Raid which aren’t erotic per say, but a bit more intense than her other series. (Though all are pretty hot, imo). Creed is my fave there with Raid a close second. So, yeah. I just can’t pick one. Sorry! :D
It’s an older novella, but I really enjoyed Wicked Sexy: Wicked, Book 1 (Wicked3) by R. G. Alexander.
Oooh! New authors to try! I Can’t wait.
It’s not really romance…but I love the Dark Hunter books! Erotic romance? Eve Langlais.
The Cut and Run series by Abigail Roux is my favorite series.
I don’t have a favorite erotic romance, but I’ve read a ton of the e-only short stories. I really like those because I can get a good story in a very short amount of time – like my 30 minute lunch break!
Kit Rocha’s books are my fav!
I love Sylvia Day’s Crossfire series!!
I love all the books in the Brown series by Lauren Dane – love the family aspects of the books as well as the steamy romance.
I have read nearly everything by Anne Calhoun and loved it.
Sylvia Day’s crossfire series!
I haven’t really found my erotic niche, so to speak.
Always look forward to trying new-to-me authors, and these would be new to me.
My favorite is “Saddled and Spurred” by Lorelei James. Thanks once again for the awesome give aways!
I can’t pick just one but I am currently reading the Cut & Run series. I also love books by Lauren Dane, Maya Banks, Victoria Dahl, Kate Pearce and Kristen Ashley to name a few.
It’s too hard for me to pick just one!
I can’t say that I have a favorite erotic romance but I did enjoy the last Beth Kery book I read.
Favorite Erotic Romance?
I noticed someone above mentioned Tiffany Reisz’s Original Sinners. I’m going to have to toss my hat in that ring and specifically call out The Siren.
And gosh, if only to stop me from harping on that book again, I suppose I better find my way to some new stories to read. Snagging this contest would help, I think.
And color me a “typical male”, but I’m especially interested to see what’s behind that new book from Sasha Grey.
I love anything by Maya Banks!
Hot in Here by Sophie Renwick or Unleashed by Cherie Lynn
My favourite erotic romance is Willing Victim by Cara McKenna
The Vampire Queen series by Joey W Hill and most anything by Lauren Dane.
This is quite the haul. All of these are on my wish list.
Pretty much anything by Lauren Dane :)
Great giveaway!
My fave erotic romances are All U Can Eat and Personal Assets both by Emma Holly.
Menage by Emma Holly.
Quite a few favorites–the current leaders are the Kit Rochas…
I am pretty sure I already answered this question, but I didn’t mention Kristen Ashley before. Her books are seriously crack-alicious.
“Belinda” by Anne Rice
I like Lauren Dane and Charlotte Stein, among others.
Definitely Uneven by Anah Crow
Thanks for the giveaway. I haven’t read this genre yet.
Favorite Erotic – anything by Lisa Marie Rice (especially Midnight series).
These look fabulous!!
My two favorites woulr be either Very Much Alive or Bear Necissities by Dana Marie Bell.
what a great group of authors/books!
All new authors for me! I’m excited, they look fun.
Kristen Ashley- Fire Inside
The Sweet Series by Maya Banks
OMG! What an AMAZING giveaway! How GENEROUS of the publisher & authors!
The Blackstone Affair by Raine Miller
I really like anything by Lauren Dane. And Sylvia Day is fantastic!!.
Wow! Thanks so much for doing the giveaway!!!!
Anything by Cherise Sinclair. Great giveaway!
Depending on the reader, I’ll recommend Megan Hart, Sylvia Day, Tiffany Reisz or Delphine Dryden.
Two of my favorite authors are Anne Calhoun and Roni Loren. Thanks for the contests!
Willing Victim by Cara McKenna, so good!
Travis by Nicole Edwards
New to me, but quite exciting!
Anything by Sylvia Day and Lisa Renee Jones!
I’m not sure if this counts, but i loved Dirty by Megan Hart.
One of my all time favourite erotic romances is Highschool Reunion by Kimberly Dean. It’s such a feel good vanilla romance and never ceases to make me smile and feel good. Another three all time favourites of mine are Woman On The Run, Midnight Man and Port of Paradise by Lisa Marie Rice. As far as more kinky novels are concerned I absolutely love Ghost Unit by Gail Faulkner, Velvet Glove by Emma Holly, Cabin Fever by Diana Hunter, all of Beth Kerry’s contemporaries, Michèle de Lully’s La Ceinture & La Queue de Cheval and Doreen Orsini’s No One But Madison.
See some familiar authors, Anna Campbell and Amanda Scott, and some new-to-me writers. Thanks so much for another huge giveaway!
Even though it’s totally a cliche by this point, Bared to You is my favorite erotic romance. I don’t know why, but I really connected to Eva and Gideon, and rooted for them. I didn’t always love what their negotiations brought about, and am super not enchanted by the extension of the series when I thought it was going to end at three (diminishing returns), but that’s a whole nother story.
Moving in Rhythm by Dev Bentham.
My favorite RIGHT NOW is the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day. Gideon Cross is so delicious! But it changes with each book I read! :)
Currently Crossfire, constantly changing
That is a hard question! At this very moment, I would have to say Lush by Lauren Dane.
I’m actually pretty new to erotic romance! I’m just starting to dip my toes into it and am looking for titles to try.
I have to say right now it’s the Crossfire series by Sylvia Day. That’s the only erotic romance I’m reading these days. Everything else is straight up contemporary or YA.
I love everything Charlotte Stein. :)
Great giveaway! I like Emma Holly books and Never Too Much by Lori Foster is very good.
Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wylde
Awesome giveaway!
My favorite ER is the entire Brown siblings series by Lauren Dane. I also really, really love Kit Rocha’s beyond series. And anything by Cara McKenna and Charlotte Stein. Oh, and Delphine Dryden!
It would be awesome to win one of these giveaways!
These days, I’m not really sure where the line is between erotic and regular romance, but I love Lorelai James’ Rough Riders series.
I’m not sure I have a favorite erotic romance . . . maybe something by Megan Hart or Lauren Dane.
I don’t think I could pick just one!
Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wylde, Fifty Shades by E.L James :)
Thanks for the giveaway :)
One of my favorites is Lia Slater’s “Fatal Exposure.”
Lauren Dane’s Brown siblings books are my favorite erotic romance. Thanks for the giveaways!
I love the books from Lara Adrian, Nalini Singh and Kresley Cole :)
I haven’t read a lot of those, but I like Maya Banks books…
Anything by Cherise Sinclair. Thanks for the giveaway!
My favorite it Breath on Embers by Anne Calhoun.
I haven’t read any of these authors so would be awesome to try them.
Oh wow..this is a great contest! So many great books this month
I loved Liberating Lacey by Ann Calhoun
The Cut and Run series…only to book three so far, but loving them!
Willing Victim by Cara McKenna
I’ve read Lora Leigh’s Bound Hearts series and loved it.
I have a short story by Robin Schone “A Lady’s Pleasure” has stayed with me over the years .
“Pillow Talk” by Maya Banks in her Four Play book with Shayla Black is another favorite.
Maya Banks is my favorite!
Anything by Lorelei James!!
I have over 2000 romances on my ereader and I think over a thousand and of them can be classified as “erotic”. That means that I have too many to pick just one favorite. I love the works of Lauren Dane, Lorelie James, Annabel Joseph, Cherise Sinclair, Joey W. Hill, Elle Kennedy, Pam McKenna, Katie Porter, Delphine Dryden, some early Lora Leigh, Jaci Burton, Kit Rocha, and their alter ego Moira Rogers, Kristen Ashley, the recent additions of Lainey Reece and Joanna Wylde, the list goes on and on. I guess I am just fickle that way. I can say that I have reread works by all of the above authors and have recommended them to others.
Definitely Cherise Sinclair’s Master of the Shadowlands series! So good!
“Hearts in Darkness” By Laura Kaye. I is a novella that takes place in an elevator.
I’ve enjoyed the Crossfire Series by Sylvia Day.
Thanks so much for the giveaway!!
I like Kit Rocha’s series. Thanks for the giveaway!!
Sin by Jess Michaels is good, and anything by Eve Langlois is guaranteed to be hot!
My favorite series would be The Crossfire series by Sylvia Day!
I don’t want August to end!! I know I probably won’t win anything but if the month doesn’t end, I’ll keep getting more chances.
My favorite book is Belong To Me from Shayla Black’s Wicked Lovers series, which is my favorite erotica series.
This is a wonderful month thanks to Dear Author!!!!
No particular title, but I like Lauren Dane and Maya Banks.
Maya Banks, Lauren Dane, Lorelei James and more…
Anything Charlotte Stein releases is an auto-buy for me!
I’m not sure where the line is for erotic romance, but Cherise Sinclair is probably on the right side for this question and she’s definitely a favorite. So is Shayla Black with her Wicked books, and Maya Bank’s Sweet series.
Favorites include Lorelei James’ Rough Riders, Lauren Dane’s Browns, Maya Banks, Vivien Arend’s Six Pack Ranch and Bianca D’Arc’s dragons
I just recently started reading Kristen Ashley. Now I know what all the shouting is about. I love her books and can’t wait to read more.
Thanks, GCP, for a really generous sweeps! My favorite usually happens to be the one I’m reading at the time…
I haven’t read a lot of erotic romance yet, but I like Megan Hart’s books.
Thanks for the great giveaways!
Sweet Surrender by Maya Banks
Lorelie James: Rough Rider series, Fifty shades of Grey and so many more!
I am not sure that I have one favorite–I read and enjoy them, but I’m just not sure I can name one at any given time and call it my favorite.
I’m pretty much game for anything Anne Calhoun. I’m currently reading Breath on Embers and I’m loving it.
I’m the biggest Kristen Ashley fan and was so excited when she signed with GCP.
don’t have a fav
Lauren Dane’s De La Vega Cats series, Brown series, and Chase series. I also like Kristen Ashley’s series.
That’s such a hard question! A couple of my favourites are Sophie Oak, Lorelei James, and Olivia Cunning.
50 Shades of Gray. Thanks for the giveaway.
Another awesome giveaway! Thanks Dear Author & Forver pub.
I too have a hard time picking a fav erotic romance. I have read many, and have many favourites. I’ll go with Natural Law by Joey W. Hill. Powerful and very, very good.
Probably Susan Johnson’s Gorgeous as Sin.
My fav erotica authora are Charlotte Stein and Cherise Sinclair :) Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
Wow, thanks for a great contest!!
Lauren Dane’s Brown Family.
I love Charlotte Stein!
Thanks for the giveaway, DA & Forever!
My favorite erotic romance? Megan Hart’s “Naked”.
My fav of all times is the sinners series by Olivia Cunning
I love me some Beth Kery! :-)
Looks like a fun set! What a treat.
Mystery Man! Honestly, any Kristen Ashley book is fantastic. I love her books!
Ice Queen and Mirror of My Soul by Joey W Hill. They’re really one book; they’ve just been split into two because the publisher felt it would have been too big as one book.
Anything by Emma Holly!
Anything Sylvia Day.
Can’t really pick one besides Lora Leigh books
Jennifer Probst books!
I love anything by Charlotte Stein.
Lorelei James got me into erotic romance, and I love her series. My latest favorites have been Delphine Dryden’s Theory of Attraction and Seduction Hypothesis.
Stranger by Megan Hart. A prickly lady funeral director who habitually hires an escort for super hot sex? So awesome.
I don’t read many erotic romances, probably because most of them are contemporaries and I’m a historical kind of girl.
Coming Undone by Lauren Dane is my favorite erotic romance.
Anything written by Sylvia Day.
Thanks for the giveaway!!! Sounds great!
My current favorites are the Kit Rocha series. I’m stalking the release date of the 3rd one right now. I think soon!
Lauren Dane’s Brown Sibling series or her Cascadia Wolves series.
As of right now, I’d say Beyond Shame is my favorite (I just love Noel SO MUCH!) but I have the entire new trilogy by Maya Banks on hold at the library, and I have a feeling one of those might be able to take the top spot of my admittedly short list of erotic romance favorites.
I’m loving Vivian Arend’s Six Pack Ranch series as well Elle Kennedy’s Out of Uniform series.
My favorite erotic romances have been those by Robin Schone. My Lady’s Pleasure is one of her more recent works.
Lisa Kleypas isn’t erotica, but I’ve always thought her historicals were smokin’ hot.
If I had to choose I would have to say the Crossfire series.
My favorite (at the moment) is The Love Slave by Emma Holly.
My favorite erotic just switched up (this week) to Midnight Caller by NJ Cole. Prior to that, I was looking at Cherise Sinclair’s Shadowlands series and Lorelei James’ Rough Rider series.
I don’t read a lot of erotica, but I liked a few of Emma Holly’s books like Menage.
I just finished Play with Me by Alisha Rai and loved it!
I’ll read anything by Emma Holly.
Lorelei James writes great erotic romance!
I do not have a favorite. Although I do read erotic romance, I like ‘romance’ erotic not just ‘sex’ for ‘sex sake’ erotic. And I have to admit, if it gets “too, too …”, I might just skip those scenes. :)
The books pictured on this post — a couple of the authors I’m familiar with, but the others are new to me. I’d love to have a chance to read every one of the books, familiar author or not. Thanks
I love Lisa Marie Rice, particularly Midnight Angel. I also really liked Breaking the Silence by Katie Allen.
Liberating Lacey by Anne Calhoun and I enjoyed the Brown series by Lauren Dane
I haven’t read a lot in this genre, so it’s difficult to pick a favorite. Of the few I have read, I think I would have to say Emma Holly.
The Shadowlands series by Cherise Sinclair. I refuse to pick just one, each of them is sooo good!
I need strong characters and real emotion when I read. I do enjoy Lisa Marie Rice.
I cant stop reading Kristen Ashley
Definitely Fifty Shades! :)
I haven’t read a lot of erotica, so I can’t pick a favorite. That said, I don’t mind reading more until I can pick one! :)
Sylvia Day historical books
Don’t you want me, baby?
The Crossfire series by Sylvia Day are my current favorite
You spoiling us so! Great giveaways!
Love the Crossfire series (although I haven’t read the newest one yet)
I haven’t found a favorite. I’m still looking/reading.
Anything by Cherise Sinclair. She is amazing in her storytelling.
Favorite erotic romance would be Abigail Roux and Madeleine Urban’s Cut & Run Series and Allyson James’ (aka Jennifer Ashley’s) Tales of the Shareem series.
This is great !! I have Anna Campbell on my auto-buy list.
I love anything by Cherise Sinclair.
I love the Sinners on Tour series by Olivia Cunning!
