Did u know when i first started reading fifty shades i was so grossed out that i slammed the book shut and threw it away. but since i had already spent 350 bucks for it i read it slowly slowly skipping out a lot of the ahem ahem stuff!
This is a genre which very few can write perfectly


I had it as a soft copy...my gang of girls used to sit together and read in in the lab coz alone we found it so boring😆...I skipped the so called erotica part after a while coz it made me fall asleep😆...it was so repetitive...am glad I did not spend money on it

50shades was long back dear uske baad bhi i have read bared to you, reflected in you, entwined with you (its a trilogy) ooh and also there's this new book in the market called the accidental call girl! but you should try the Bared to you series! awesome it is, better than fifty
then i buy 3-4 M&B every month! ive got a huge rack of M&B in my library! i'm a sucker for erotica 😆

M&B was better before but i dont like the new ones much
I'll try these new ones
I just hope they are not like 50 shades cause in middle i had to skip some pages they were just too much to read !
But i still finished the series i was happy when they got married at last 😆

Writing erotica is an art because one can easily cross the line between sensual and gross...so unless one is completely sure of themselves, this genre is best left alone..so thanks for making all those points Sadie...👏..even E.L.James hasn't got it right despite her series being a bestseller...😃



EL James should be sued for misrepresenting an entire community and for her shoddy English. Terrible series. I find Joey. W. Hill to be much better despite her lack of best-sellers.

Part of the problem with teens/young-adults writing erotica is their lack of knowledge about it. There are two kinds of horrible erotica -

1. The flowery, ber romantic version where the woman just lies there and let's be man do whatever while she whimpers:

2. Or violent ones bordering on rape.

Repetitive is the right word.😆
Touching that book was one of the biggest mistakes in my life.

agree M&B now is not as good as M&B of the past hence i buy the pirated books there is this stall in mumbai which sells M&B old and new both. the whole backside of the stall is filled with it and since there are so many M&Bs whenever i go there i find different and new books so i buy the old version of m&b from that shop. new very few have a nice story
try bared to you! its great! it has three parts and the fourth part is in the making! the writer is sylvia day

Oh man..don't even get me started on the language and grammar...a school student with an above average command over english could write better🥱..she portrayed BDSM like a joke..TBH...

What's worse is that they call it erotica...

Good topic...As a rule I dont read erotica on IF. Unless its a author whose other FF/SS I have read and liked their style of writing. But these are very good pointers. Good job!!!👏

Haven't read M&B in a very very long time, but am hoping to find some good books on Amazon to download to my Kindle. So suggestions are welcome.

Also, if you are into Historical Romance (M&B but with a period setting) I have some suggestions for good writers who do regency. These would usually have 1-2 scenes max, which sometimes I skip depending on my mood.

The author clearly hasn't researched her subject matter. An absolute idiot. I don't think I got past book 1...hell i didn't even read book 1 properly. Trashy novel and I am being polite!
