    What do we read once we have finished Book 3?

    I would agree it is not filth, just a bit raunchy. I remember when I had to read Lady Chatterley's Lover with a brown cover on it so my mum wouldn't know! And, well, the Kama Sutra also caused a bit of a stir when I was in my teens.

    I remember getting hold of Madonna's "Sex" book when I was a teen, I was obsessed with Madonna back then I thought she was the ultimate sexual goddess:p. Her book was good, loads of little erotic stories, a lot about bondage etc, I had a grin on my face for quite a while after that, back then it was quite risque but by today's standards it is on the soft side :rotfl:

    Yeh - know what you mean.

    Have downloaded the Sinners (Olivia Cunning) books from amazon and to be honest I am only reading them for something to read - they aren't gripping me like the 50 books did (that sounds soooo sad I know) I think that the Sinners books were a recomendation on this thread early on!

    I've been reading quite a few of these sorts of books recently and I've yet to find one that I've enjoyed as much.

    I've read:

    The Initiation of Ms Holly (KD Grace)
    Strokes of Genius (Kitty von Klass)
    Insatiable (Julie O'Neill)
    Anything He Wants (Sara Fawkes)
    By His Desire (Kate Grey)
    Bedtime erotica (Lexy Harper)
    18+ Hot erotic Sex Stories (Anon)

    And they have been ok - nothing to write home about

    I might try Black Lace next

    It's really quite dark and hardcore. I can't say I particularly enjoyed it,even though I wanted to.
