Everyone loves a great love story, but not everyone enjoys reading about intimate sexual scenes. However, for those who don’t mind getting a bit risque, erotic romance novels are a steamy escape.
What is erotic romance?
According to the Romance Writers of America, erotic romance involves “novels in which strong, often explicit, sexual interaction is an inherent part of the love story, character growth, and relationship development and could not be removed without damaging the story line.” In other words, there’s plenty of page-turning chapters to fuel your fantasies, and there must also be a deeper narrative in which characters, grow and develop, beyond sexual scenes.
What’s the difference between erotic romance and erotica?
Simply put, erotica is almost entirely about sex. “Erotica is just people doing it,” explains author Cordelia Logan. “There’s not a lot of character development. The plot revolves around how these people are going to do it, and what’s getting in the way.”
