35 Books To Read After 50 Shades Of Grey

[Tisham Candella]

Ayoung woman with no name embarks on a three-way relationship with Matt, a tattoo artist, and his girlfriend Frances, a new mum. She begins to recognise the dark undertow of obsession and jealousy that her presence has created between Matt and Frances, and finds herself balancing between pain and pleasure, the promise of the future and the crushing isolation of the present.

This is Choose Your Own Adventure but for sex... Adult film actress, director, and author Joanna Angel tells the tale of college grad Taryn, a young woman working at a sex shop in Florida, and her night gets as wild as you choose it to be...

In the traditional fairy tale, the spell cast upon the young princess can only be broken by the kiss of a prince. In this retelling, the curse is broken not with a kiss, but with sexual initiation. The Prince's reward for ending the hundred years of enchantment is Beauty's complete and total enslavement to him. Sleeping Beauty awakes to a world of seduction, desire and love.

Anais Nin's Delta of Venus was first published in 1977. It's an anthology of erotic short stories where she creates her own 'language of the senses', and explores an area that was previously the domain of male writers. As eye-opening as Fifty Shades was when it was first published in 2011 (although that also feels forever ago).

Heartbroken, unpaid intern Nichi Hodgson decides to become a professional dominatrix, she's only looking to fund her way to a job in journalism. What she discovers is a sophisticated secret world full of erotic games and complex emotional encounters; a world where men pay to worship her. But when Nichi is introduced to a Dom named Sebastian, she meets her match. Soon, Sebastian is the one on top, and Nichi is helpless to resist...

Another erotic book that made it to the big screen, Call Me By Your Name follows the blossoming romance between Elio and Oliver during a summer trip to Italy. Like the film, the book is highly erotic in places (with plenty of detail).

If you were a fan of Bridgerton on Netflix then you'll love the book series which inspired the show. The first novel in the franchise, The Duke and I, tells the story of Daphne and Simon's love affair and, like the TV show, we can expect it to be pretty steamy.

New as of October 2021, graphic designer Michelle is hired to lead a marketing campaign for a gym - only to be reunited with her old best friend Gabriel after 13 years. There's still a spark between them and neither can resist as their reunion turns to romance. Expect seduction and lots of sexy situations.

If you're into historical erotic fiction, this one's for you. Countess Catherine St. Day is in need of someone to translate her late husband's astronomy text and continue his work when the young Lucy Muchelney turns up at her door. However, it's not just the work that brings these two together, as they embark on an erotic romance.

Another newbie for 2021, this steamy medical romance will be enough to rival your Grey's Anatomy obsession. The book follows Dr. Carolina Ramirez, who's more than happy to discover that Dr. Hector Medina (her career idol) is her new boss. The pair have an undeniable intellectual spark and physical connection but, after a chemistry-filled encounter, Hector leaves town.

Thanks Maryse!!! I havent read in YEARS. But ever since FSOG and Bared to You, I have found thats all I want to do. So an erotica list will be awesome. ? Until you get your list out I will work on some of these other suggestions. Thanks everyone for the suggestions and yes thank you for this blog!

Hi, I have been readying a book a day. I would recommend Shayla Black Wicked Lovers series. I am also interested in sharing books to save money. Anyone interested just let me know. Also, I love the suggestions!

I am glad to find folks who can read and discuss my kind of books openly! I loved Bared to You! Cross is definitly in my top 6 fantasy men. YUM! I would also suggest Forbidden Pleasures. Mac and Jethro are so hot. Swoon worthy definitely

I am so excited to have just found this website! I so thought I was a freak for getting zero sleep while reading the 50 series twice in a row. I have NEVER done that. Loved every minute of it! I am currently reading the Lords of the Underworld series and loving it. It has lessened my obsession with 50 (a little bit!).

I have read all of the fifty shades books and bred to you i need another trilogy to read loved bared to you but was diappointed the way it ended i felt i needed more is there going to be more 50 shade books really needing it feeling lost without my Mr grey and Anna

So love your blog!! I have read most of the books listed above but I think Finding Eden and Beyond Eden by Kele Moon should be added to the bdsm list! Now lts not for everyone but you really feel what these characters go through not to mention the love and the angst with the characters. Very well written and keeps you glued to the pages!

I too read the Sleeping Beauty Trilogy by Anne Rice. It starts out with a bang and just keeps on going. I stayed up late every night and finished all 3 in about 2 days. I got the first one and regretted not getting all three at the same time. A great twist on what happens to Beauty after her prince wakes her with a kiss. Or should I say how he woke her as he gave her the kiss that woke her up. *shivers* Think I will read them again. = )

I have to agree with shary i read the duet series by cj Roberts and fell in live with caleb and livVie. I really thought after reading these two books that fifty was mediocre at best in its writing style. I highly recommend the duet series before you know Caleb will be replacing Christian in the top 5 fantasy men of brandi patterson

Just finished reading The Reluctant Dom. OMG This book will stick in my head for a very long time. I have a huge pile of tissues on my nightstand. I started crying at pg. 601 and was loudly sobbing by the end. Maryse, thanks for putting this on my radar.

hi! i juste finished fifty and bared to you, and loved them!! when i was seraching for the next book to read, i found a excerpt of Anything he wants by Sara Fawkes and reaaaally loved it (unfortunately i could not found it in my booksotre) but it seems very promising!

Thank you for the list!

Addicted to You & Exposed to you by Beth Kery, her books are GREAT! you will not be able to put them down! Amazing story lines, very intense scenes. Great follow ups to 50 shades & crossfire series. Her books definitely should be on your list of books to read!

Just wanted to add another series I thought was good after 50 Shades and Bared to You. It is Because You Are Mine by Beth Kery. There are eight books I believe, but they are more like novelas, they could be all combined into one book. Anyhow, they are good reads.

I have very much enjoyed the new Breathless series so far. I, like most every woman out there, was looking for a juicy read after finishing the 50 shades series. This gave me exactly what i was looking for.

I am SO GLAD you write about fifty shades as so much more than just sex. Whenever i was seen reading the series, I would always receive rude and ignorant comments from people who have never read the books before. It was so frustrating because the storyline is actually so heart-wrenching!!!

Just picked up bared to you and reflecting in you today, thanks so much for the recommendations! I was so hoping for something similar after finishing the fifty shades series, and I can already see the resemblance! ?

I have been reading some of your posts. Crossfire series by Sylvia Day is pretty good. If you are into the big time erotica I suggest Maya Banks-The Colter Series or Amber Eyes. Another series is the Men in Blue Series by Jayne Rylon. The New York Series by Lainey Reese. Hope this helps to satisfy the after 50 craving. If I come up with more suggestions I will let you know.

just finishes c.j roberts dark druits series if u luv dark romance it is some gr8 stuff for u captive in the darj nd seduction of dark u will luv nd hate caleb but it will make u cry thats for sure please do enjoy it

I will definitely have to add the hacker series by Meredith wild and the breathless trilogy by Maya banks. I am addicted and wanted more reads. This list has helped me pick some new series I would like to pick up. But as far as after 50, these would be my tops. And I loved the 4. Hours I spent indulging myself in beautiful disaster

Each installment in the Calendar Girl Series will release every month throughout 2015. The stories will feature Mia, told from her perspective as she continues her journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.
