The 10 Best Erotic Romance Books For Adults to Read in 2023:
1) Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James
The strong sexual tension between protagonists Ana and Christian is what made “Fifty Shades of Grey,” the first novel in the “Fifty Shades” series, such a bestseller. Although Ana is initially intimidated by Christian Grey, she is ultimately drawn in by his intelligence and charisma. By engaging in a passionate BDSM relationship, the two are able to erotically explore their innermost sexual needs and wants.
2) The Proposal by Jasmine Guillory
You can’t go wrong with any of Jasmine Guillory’s lighthearted romances, but this athletically-themed tale shines. Nik, a freelancing writer, was proposed to by her boyfriend at a Dodgers game when he managed to completely botch the spelling of her name. Obviously, she declines, and the resulting video quickly gains widespread attention. Her handsome rescuer, Dr. Carlos, whisks her away from the madness, but she knows he can’t be for real. Maybe he can’t.
3) Vision In White by Nora Roberts
Even though Nora Roberts has written over 200 romance books, this one, the first in The Bride Quartet, has been universally praised by her readers. Mackensie “Mac” Elliot, a professional photographer who specializes in weddings, runs a business with three of his buddies. They may have their own happily-ever-after if she has a casual fling with the charming and stable English teacher Carter Maguire, whom she meets on the job.
4) I Kissed Shara Wheeler by Casey McQuiston
Chloe Green has spent all four years of high school at Willowgrove Christian Academy vying with Shara Wheeler, the principal’s flawless daughter, for valedictorian. On prom night, Shara kisses Chloe and then vanishes, leaving behind only a series of enigmatic hints. Chloe teams up with Rory, Shara’s oddball neighbor, and Smith, her quarterback lover, to find out where Shara has disappeared, leading to a shocking climax that no one saw coming.
5) Eleanor & Park by Rainbow Rowell: A Young Adult Romance Books
One’s first love, so the saying goes, never leaves one’s heart. You may put that hypothesis to the test by revisiting 1986 with Eleanor and Park, two misfit kids who fell in love. They have the wisdom to know that first loves rarely last, but the courage to give it a shot nevertheless.

We saw “that” rain sight for the first time 15 years ago. Read about Noah and Allie again in this novel about a South Carolina socialite who is separated from her summer love but who is eventually brought back together by their letters and journals.
8) A Lot Like Adiós by Alexis Daria: One of the Best Romance Books for Adults
The bestselling author of You Had Me at Hola returns with another opulent love story, this time about a Puerto Rican woman who is focused on her job but has no romantic life. She is given a second opportunity with Gabrielle, the only man who has ever made her heart race. Is that the case? Surely they’ll see this and change their minds. Nothing will ever get out.
9) A Certain Appeal by Vanessa King
When we last left Liz Bennett, she was working as a burlesque stage kitty for a group that had become more like a family than an office in this contemporary rendition of Pride and Prejudice. Passion flares instantly between her and Will Darcy. But, just like the original, the two don’t get along like oil and water (or get rid of each other). It’s hot, spicy, and completely irresistible.
10) Honey Girl by Morgan Rogers
For Grace, getting married on a wild night in Vegas to a woman whose name she doesn’t even know is completely out of character. While in New York for the summer with her new wife, she plans to enjoy some time away from her obligations before being forced to face the truth she has been avoiding.
