More than a little saucy, erotic books are off the Scoville charts when it comes to spice. Because sometimes, you need more than a sweeping romance or a page-turning adventure when you pick up a novel – you want something that’ll get your heart racing in an entirely different way.
Booktopia is proud to be Australia’s local bookstore, and we wouldn’t be doing that title justice if we didn’t truly stock all kinds of books, including erotic fiction books.
So whether you’re after just a touch of spice or something ravishing and racy from start to finish, these erotic books have got you covered.
Erotic books bestsellers
Unsure where to start? Try browsing our erotic book bestsellers to see which titles are currently the most popular amongst readers.
Here you’ll find titles such as Broken by Daylight, a decidedly steamy Beauty and the Beast retelling that combines fantasy with spice for a romantic misadventure that will ensure you can never look at the original classic story quite the same again.
Or you can try The Long Game, a novel that expertly combines small-town romance with big-time spice. From Elena Armas, the same author as The Spanish Love Deception, this is a fun read that combines soccer, the much-loved enemies-to-lovers trope, and plenty of zesty flirtation.
Fantasy erotic books
Romantasy has become one of the most popular reading genres in recent years, with the stunning combination of magical worlds with sensual, explicit romance creating an irresistible selection of novels.
The Hunted Heir is the perfect example of a book of erotic fantasy. Following the story of a lost princess and the hunter ordered to track her down. It’s spicy, tense, and filled with secrets, and will keep you guessing until the end.
Court of the Vampire Queen is another provocative example of an erotic fantasy novel. There are vampires, forced proximity, and a reverse harem trope as our protagonist Mina gets herself acquainted with not just one dangerously seductive man – but three.
Classic erotic books
When in doubt, opt for the classics.
Sylvia Day is well known for her erotic books, from Bared to You – the first of her Crossfire series – to Ask For It, each of her novels are the kinds you can get absolutely lost in.
Or you can try Christina Lauren, an author well-known and well-loved for her steamy romances. Beautiful Bastard, the first of the Beautiful Bastard series, is both a must-read and an excellent place to start, while The Soulmate Equation is heavier on the romance and lighter on the spice.
Whatever you desire, you’ll find it all here at Booktopia.
