So let me set the scene for you.

My 20-plus-year marriage had ended, a lonely, passionless and pretty miserable final few years. No intimacy, no sex. I had turned into my great-aunt Maud, a dried-up old prune.

During this time I met a guy while taking a course. He was 10 years younger and charming. What followed was an intoxicating foray into text flirting—leaving me quite giddy with rapidly thawing frigidity and the profound realisation that I’d lived my previous 20 years in a sort of coma. That friendship, however, remained platonic.

The attitude of men my own age saddened me, and I became frustrated by their idea of foreplay (not to mention the postcoital narcolepsy five minutes later. So, I told myself, wasn’t it about time I did a little road testing of some younger models? (Purely in the name of market research, you understand…)

I had begun to realise that I’m a nonconformist—a rule-breaker and risk-taker… and, further, that I’m completely comfortable with my own nonconformity. I was 47, and it was about bloody time I celebrated the Rebel Rebel in me.

Around that time an acquaintance told me about a dating website called Toyboy Warehouse. She added that she couldn’t possibly sign up on that site because of insecurities about being overweight/out of shape/unfit/wrinkly/timid… I’ll bet you can already guess my response…

Where do I sign up?

It’s a curious old thing–the word cougar sounds rather threatening and predatory, don’t you think? Yet “threatening” and “predatory” are absolutely not words I would ever use to describe myself. So I was curious as I registered my details, a short, bio, my height, hair colour, AGE and other details, I signed up and held my breath! What world was I entering?

My girlfriends fell into two camps: those utterly horrified by what I was about to embark upon (secretly jealous I reckoned) and those who cheered me on and wanted all the details (maybe just a bit jealous but also excited about living vicariously through me)!

I joined the site because I like a dare!  I was looking for fun, flirting, sex, and education. What I did not expect was that great friendships would develop, along with a level of intimacy that I’d never before experienced before in my life. And, best of all, more attention, devotion and laughter than during two decades of marriage.

And the sex. Oh, the sex was extraordinary. Selfless and attentive and satisfying. You see, the reality is far from the cultural icon of Mrs. Robinson. In fact, the most likely scenario for a woman with a younger partner is that she has arrived at midlife having had a long long-term relationship, few sexual partners, several children, and a pretty boring sex life.

These young men are thrilled to be able to teach an older woman some new tricks!

Why do younger men date older women?

I was curious, so questioned these beautiful young men on their reasons for hanging out with an older woman. (The men I have met are on average 15 years younger than me)—and their answers were enlightening.

  • Intelligent conversation
  • Independent—An older woman doesn’t NEED a man to validate her existence
  • Sexually more adventurous—and happy to try new things
  • Sexy without even knowing it—comfortable in her own skin
  • Accepting of her partner.
  • All woman – the real deal….generally without silicon and self-obsessed grooming practices.
  • Able to teach about relationships in a non-threatening way.

In the beginning I did begin a rendezvous by justifying myself, explaining that my body was not that of a 25-year-old; that I’d carried, given birth to, and nursed my children, blah, blah. And then a finger came up to my lips to silence all my disclaimers.

“Have you any idea how amazing I get to feel because YOU chose me?” was the response I got from one beautiful young man.

“I get to be myself with you,” he added. Good grief, I didn’t see that one coming. We get so caught up in our own insecurities about how we look that we lose sight of what’s really important, about who we are on the inside.  I found that in these nontraditional older-younger relationships, both my partner and I got to be who we really are—masks removed.

Ladies, don’t wait until you’re “perfect” before you get out there dating again. Get out there right away and do some exploring—you might just end up having the time of your life.

If you got hooked first time, get ready for round two. That’s right, your favourite cougar dating site has put together the essential list of romance and dating literature you need in 2019. The following is a culmination of hot romance, gripping stories and lovable characters. We can’t wait to check out these novels and soon, so will you.

Minette Walters

For anyone gripped by The Last Hours, get ready for an epic conclusion to the fantastic series. In the first of the series, (also called ‘The Last Hours’),Walters confidently explored the Medieval romance genre, giving you a concrete sense of time and place. Historical romance differs from traditional romance as it requires an expertly placed sense of space, you need to feel as though you’re actually there. Walters has done this brilliantly with The Last Hours series.

Set in the 1340’s against a backdrop of devastation caused by the Black Death, the novels follow a romantic entanglement that battles against the turmoil around them. Its conclusion, The Turn of Midnight, is set to be a powerful end to the series.

Mandy Baggot

With feel good romance and delicious wit and comedy, Baggot is a rare author that can give you that warm feeling inside. Baggot came to our attention with Truly, Madly, Greekly, a must have for your next Summer holiday. We follow Ellen as she’s pulled between trying to come to terms with her life falling apart and her sister’s chaotic wedding planning. Flying off to Corfu, she only wants to rebuild herself in the Greek sun, that’s until Greece gives her a distraction – the handsome Yan.

Grab your suitcase, we’re making our way back to Corfu with One Last Greek Summer. We’re so excited to see a return of the hot, romantic adventures that we enjoyed so much in Truly, Madly, Greekly. Definitely one to check out.

Kristen Ashley

Ashley has been a firm favourite of our for a while. An author with an incredible range, she’s penned a plethora of standalone novels and exciting series. Ashley is very much a romance author that perks our ears whenever there’s a new novel announcement.

For anyone unfamiliar with Ashley, a great place to start is with the thrill-ride that is the Rock Chick series. As the title suggests, the series hosts a number of kick ass rock chicks who take part in action packed adventures. Sometimes hilarious, sometimes unbelievable, but always hot, the Rock Chick series keeps you gripped never knowing what’s coming next.

Another favourite of ours is The Dream Man series. Just like Rock Chick, the series pulls no punches when it comes to hot bedroom romance. Mixing in Ashley’s skilful use of drama, comedy and character. Quiet Man is the latest in the series and we’re so excited to check this one out.

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

Samantha Towle

For anyone familiar with Towle’s work, you likely know of her smash hit The Storm series – a romping, fast paced thrillride with rockstar bad boys. Towle came to our attention however with her standalone novel Trouble.

Trouble mixes the bad boy romance we know and love with a difficult backstory, adding a layer of depth to our female protagonist Mia Monroe. Damaged by abusive men in her life, Monroe seeks a way out, but finds it in an unlikely place thanks to the headstrong Jordan Matthews. Trouble is a novel that keeps you gripped by these characters, wanting to uncover more and more of their rich and enveloping backstory. Towle is an author with an incredible insight into character. She is able to build complex and emotionally investing relationships between characters that seem to jump from the page. 

For many, Towle is most well known for her The Storm series. The novels match up to their name, introducing a chaotic whirlwind of romance, emotion and rock and roll. An absolute highlight for us was the ending in 4th in the series, The Storm. Trust me, you need to read it to know what we’re talking about! We’re so excited for Towle’s next book, Finding Storm. Keep updated here.

Denise Grover

Grover is one of the most extensive writers on our list, writing expertly across a wide range of genres. No matter your literary preferences, Grover has a thrilling adventure on hand. For us, we’re in love with the Neely Kate Mystery series.

The books are an offshoot of the Rose Gardner Investigation series, which is an offshoot of the Rose Gardner Mystery series. Don’t worry, this just means there’s a lots of literature to sink your teeth into. The highlight for us has been, Twenty-Eight and a Half Wishes, the first in the series. In it we’re introduced to Rose Gardner, our titular character that’ll follow us on stories across the Investigation and Mystery series. Don’t fret about being bogged down by an overly dark story, Grover successfully winds in humour and wit into a thrilling tale.

The Neely Kate Mystery series follows Kate, who was introduced to us in Rose Gardner’s stories. She was also a character we enjoyed and seeing her with her own series was such a treat. Check out the latest, Dirty Money, now.

Melissa Foster

You may know Foster for her fantastic Love In Bloom series – a set of books that truly exhibit her ability to mix seduction and emotion into a story.

The books touch on big subjects, such as the trials and tribulations of families. It subverts expectation by introducing a number of twists and surprising plotlines that keep you hooked. It also catches you off guard with it’s funny side, causing you to laugh out loud on several occasions.

‘The Bradens & Montgomerys: Pleasant Hill – Oak Falls’ has turned up the sex factor to 11, whilst keeping the fun and easy-reading style of its parent collection Love in Bloom. Be sure to check out the latest in the series – Wild, Crazy Hearts.

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

J.D. Horn

For anyone not familiar with Horn’s work, it’s an expertly crafted dive into the paranormal and supernatural world. You do need to invest a level of concentration to grasp the winding politics and narrative of the books, but when you do you’re rewarded with an intense sense of investment.

Despite the otherworldly nature of Horn’s work, especially The Witches of New Orleans series, you never feel detracted from the story. While it conjures the fantastical, you always stay grounded thanks to the great depth Horn builds for his characters.

The Witches of New Orleans kicked off with The King of Bones and Ashes, and was followed up by a favourite of ours The Book of the Unwinding. The third in the series, The Final Days of Magic, sets to continue Alice Marin’s story. Definitely one to check out.

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

Anna Jacobs

Lancashire born Jacob’s is a firm favourite from our list. For anyone who’s a fan of historical stories of love and romance, Jacob’s is a heart-warming must read author.

Jacob’s came to our attention with the Rivershaw Saga. The books follow the lives of a number of characters trying to rebuild their lives during post World War 2. Everything from the small and seemingly mundane, such as rationing, to the weighty emotional chaos many of the characters face, all culminate into an expertly written set of stories. Jacobs explores the darkest aspects of relationships just as much as the positive sides, painting no relationship as perfect and mess-free.

Alongside the Rivershaw Saga, other series to check out include the Kershaw Sister Series, The Swan River Saga and, the eagerly anticipated new Birch End Series.

K. Bromberg

Bromberg has a host of fantastic books that show off the best in erotic literature, definitely a go-to for us when we’re after a steamy literature session.

It would be difficult to list here all of highlights, but some top contenders include;

  • The Driven Series. This series was one of the reasons our attention was peaked by Bromberg, if you haven’t checked it out, what are you doing?! The story follows Colton, a high-flying casanova, and Rylee, a young woman rebuilding her life after a difficult past. With fully developed characters that are difficult not to relate to, you root for their relationship to develop, despite an ever-present dark history looming.
  • Everyday Heroes Series. Bromberg has an ability to mix passionate and seduction with a thoroughly emotional story, one that keeps you invested. The Everyday Heroes Series is no exception, with one of the most favourite central characters we’ve had with Emerson/Emmy.

We’re so excited for Bromberg’s latest series Wicked Ways, be sure to check it out on launch day.

Kristen Proby

You may have heard of Proby from the fantastic With Me in Seattle series, most notably the explosive start to the series with Come Away With Me.

Come Away With Me has been a firm favourite for us, definitely a go-to for a hot, sexual story that holds no bars. The central couple don’t hit it off at first. Luke accuses Natalie, a professional photographer, of being paparazzi even though she has no idea who he is. But that introduction doesn’t stop a sensual romance developing.

The With Me in Seattle series continues to go from strength to strength, with Fight With Me, possibly one of the hottest male leads we’ve seen in a while, and Play With Me, which cements this series as one that follows men who know what they want, and they’re not going to stop until they’ve got it.

The Romancing Manhattan series started with the fantastic All the Way and we’re eagerly anticipating the second in the series; All it Takes

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

Sabrina Jeffries

Jeffries work mixes the historical world of lords and ladies, royalty and family, with a seductive central relationship. Out of the many historical romance authors, Jeffries’ work towers with its uncanny ability to build worlds. Necessary for any successful historical romance story is a tactile settings, one that you can close your eyes and imagine enveloping you. Jeffires work does just that, with the most notable being The Hellions of Halstead Hall series, a firm favourite of ours.

We’re super excited for Project Duchess, which seems to be echoing many of the same themes of The Hellions of Halstead Hall, a dark secret past and reluctance to see that what is in front of you. Be sure to check out Project Duchess.

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

Devney Perry

We first had our interest peaked by Perry with the fantastic Jamison Valley series, especially its introduction and Perry’s debut, The Coppersmith Farmhouse. Despite being a debut, this story shows an author who understands the craft and knows how to write characters. Even after finishing The Coppersmith Farmhouse, it had us yearning to return to the sweet central romance. Despite their rocky start, it’s a relationship that had us bursting with joy.

We thoroughly enjoyed the first in Perry’s other series, the Maysen Jar. Again Perry makes it so you can’t help but fall in love with the main romance. A story full of love and emotion bursting from the pages. That’s why we’re super excited for book 2, Letters to Molly.

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

Jennifer Probst

Where do we start with Probst? If you’re short on time and can only read one series this year, firstly, you need to find more spare time?! Secondly, the Marriage to a Billionaire series may be a perfect option. It’s definitely our favourite from Probst.

The first in the series, The Marriage Bargain, is a story we’ve seen before but done in an interesting way. Billionaire Nicholas Ryan needs to find someone to marry to keep his wealthy status. He offers Alexa McKenzie an interesting ‘proposal’ – a fake marriage. As you can imagine, things don’t go to plan.

Probst is an accomplished author and by reading her work, you can see that very clearly. She has a writing style that exudes confidence, seductive without being smutty, sweet without being soppy. Marriage to a Billionaire is an explosive, hot series, and it’s only the tip of the iceberg of Probst’s work.

The Stay series keeps this confident writing style whilst adding heaps of sweet and heartwarming story. This series has been thoroughly entertaining and we can’t wait for the next in the series, All Roads Lead to You.

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

Jay Crownover

If you haven’t heard of Crownover’s work before, you’re missing out an author of unabashed, tantalising literature. Crownover’s extensive back catalogue of hot romance and even hotter male leads is a treat for any reader. Our standout favourites include:

  • Downfall, and not just for the cover! Downfall is a standalone series that follows Solo and Orly as they explore a blossoming romance, all whilst Orly’s dark past threatens all she cares about.
  • The Marked Men series. Definitely a favourite of ours because it doesn’t just settle for an erotic story. Don’t get us wrong, it’s got eroticism by the bucket load, however Crownover doesn’t let that be the only jewel in her crown. Each story’s ending sticks with you well after it’s finished, displaying a level of emotion and authenticity that’s sometimes rare to see in the genre.

Crownover’s latest book Justified (Loveless) will be released June 25, 2019 and we can’t wait!

William’s latest book is described an ’emotional and unflinchingly honest memoir of coming out of the closet late in life, owning up to the past, and facing the future’. His previous work is what drew our to attention to William. ‘Fashionably Late: Gay, Bi & Trans Men Who Came Out Later in Life’ deals with a similar topic, looking at the trials and tribulations not only of coming out – but doing so as a mature man. Not pulling any punches everything from gay conversion therapy to the difficult divorce are touched upon in the book.

Fashionably Late was an honest and authentic look at the feelings of a range of individuals, going through a difficult life transition. ‘The Lie: A Memoir of Two Marriages, Catfishing & Coming Out’ is set to be another in genuine look into a difficult topic, this time with a heightened sense of drama and a central narrative that we’re anticipating is just as page turning as William’s last book.

Travis’ back catalogue of work is as extensive as it is uplifting. Travis’ aim is to share happiness and goodwill through his books and the ‘Optimism Program’; a program described as ‘helping optimists change the world’. Read any of Travis’ work and you can see how optimism is his leading ideal, from ’52 Questions For A Happy Friendship’ to ‘Leading Happiness’.

Travis’ latest work is tackling the issues of dating and relationships, helping to ‘develop better communication skills and a more satisfying love life’ just by asking questions. It’s set to be an essential for any couple looking to grow and develop their relationship in a fun way and we’re super excited to get a copy when it’s released.

‘I Just Haven’t Met You Yet: Finding Self-Empowerment in Dating, Love, and Life’, no it’s not an incorrect guess for the second line in that famous song, instead it’s the soon to-be-released work by author Tracy Strauss.

Tracy gained our attention back in 2014 during her appearance on the The Steve Harvey Show. Her dating insights have been shared on a number of high-profile online blogs (Huffington Post, Glamour). So you can imagine our excitement when we heard she was writing a book. Her other writing has featured in a range of scholarly publications, and after reading you can see why. With a insightful and intelligent tone, Tracey’s soon to-be-released ‘I Just Haven’t Met You Yet’ is set to be a must read.

If you’re looking for a steamy night with a must read book, Tessa Bailey has always been a go-to for us. With an extensive back catalogue of work, you’re going to be happy we introduced you to this fantastic author.

Exciting and sexy, Tessa’s work is a treat for the eyes. The stand out series for most of our members have been the Line of Duty Series; a 5 book series following hot cops and ever hotter writing.

So why has ‘Fix Her Up’ caught our eye, ladies and gentlemen, it’s a romantic comedy. We’re so excited to see how Tessa transitions her fantastic writing to another genre! We’re expecting a whole heap of laughs alongside our usual dose of love and romance.

We’re big fans of the Instagram account @awardsforgoodboys, so imagine our surprise when we heard it’s unique yet insightful brand of humour was making it to a book. The account has a keen eye on our current dating and gender culture. With such a low bar for men to be considered ‘good boys’, when basic human decency is lauded as chivalry, what impact does that have on our day to day lives.

As a dating site, we see the full range of dating etiquette, from the honest to the sub-standard. Awards For Good Boys has a perfect and hilarious insight into the poorer parts of our relationship culture and we’re so excited to read Shelby’s latest release.

Shannon Boodram has been a frequent face in the dating world, offering her unique insight across a range of high profile TV shows, publications and her YouTube channel. Her first book ‘Laid: Young People’s Experiences with Sex in an Easy-Access Culture’, was an insightful look into the open sex culture of today. With direct accounts from a number of individuals, plus Shannon’s usual dating intelligence, ‘Laid’ was a fantastic debut book.

Her next book however is one that’s got us super excited. Ladies, it looks set to be a must-read! A self-described how-t0-guide, Shannon aims to teach us self-confidence and self-discovery, all to gain control of our dating lives and get exactly what we’re looking for.

Dating in our modern connected times; it’s safe to say we take it for granted. With our online dating world being such a new phenomenon, this opens the door to completed different dating experiences – whether they be good or bad. There’s been quite a lot of novels about this, Virtually Yours by Sarvenaz Tash is set to be a fantastic addition to the genre.

While geared towards children and teens, many of our members really love Sarvenaz work. Her previous novel, ‘The Geek’s Guide to Unrequited Love’, was a hilarious yet touching story of that heart fluttering kind of love and the pursuit to get the girl of your dreams. Obviously, as a dating site we love when topics on online dating get explored. Mix this with the delightful writing we’ve seen from Sarvenaz, Virtually Yours is set to be a must read on launch day.

If this was a list of the best titled book, ‘The Coitus Chronicles: My Quest for Sex, Love, and Orgasms’ would still make the list. Funny girl and down-right fantastic author, Olive Persimmon latest work is set to be even better than ‘Unintentionally Celibate’, a book many of our members absolutely loved.

Olive Persimmon has been detailing her revelations about dating, love and sex all with a sharp humour for years. ‘Unintentionally Celibate’ explores an experience many of us may have shared. Put down the steamy erotic novels, this is a delightful look at what’s it like to never enter the kingdom of orgasm.

And the quest continues in ‘The Coitus Chronicles’. If this latest release is as funny, touching and genuinely real as ‘Unintentionally Celibate’, then we’re set for a fantastic second book.

To summarise Madison’s work? Unashamed fun and blush-inducing sexiness. Natasha Madison has been a firm favourite of ours for quite a while, with her latest series ‘Hollywood Royalty’ being a continuation of her saucy and entertaining writing style.

For anyone who wants a brilliant introduction to Madison, check out the ‘Tempt Series’. The first book follows Austin and Lauren, boss and assistant who’s sexual attraction for each other is difficult to ignore. Instead of doing what HR probably would advise, they find themselves in a number of hilarious situations. A novel that expertly blends sexy and comedy. The second in the series, ‘Tempt The Playboy’ plays out alongside the first, focussing on Noah and Kaleigh – a unashamed womaniser and a hardened-to-love, confident woman. If you love sexy banter, this is one series to check out.

The ‘Hollywood Royalty’ series has been fantastic. Transporting Madison’s signature sexy writing to the world of Hollywood and the movies. The third in the series ‘Hollywood Prince’ makes our list as one of the most eagerly anticipated romance and erotic literature of 2019.

We absolutely loved Herkness’ Wager of the Heart series. Each follows a handsome, rich protagonist harbouring a difficult truth – most notably a lack of real love. Each of these rugged men, struggle to find someone to love who’s not just there for their money. That’s until a lovable, hard-working love interest crashes into their life. Each story has you rooting for a happy ever after, bringing a level of charm into what is a very sexy story.

Herkness’ latest series ‘Second Glances’ is another equally enjoyable instance of the ‘exotic billionaire hunk – antithetical yet gorgeous love interest’ storyline. ‘Second Time Around’ was a sexy, explosion into a new series and we can’t wait for the follow-up – ‘Second Act’.

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

With blossoming romances and an undercurrent of action and drama, the ‘Sapphire Bay’ series has got us gripped and we can’t wait for the next in the series; ‘Before Today’.

For anyone who hasn’t read any of the ‘Sapphire Bay’ series yet (or any of Morgan’s other brilliant series, most notably ‘Emerald Lake Billionaires’ and ‘The Montana Brides’), you need to fix that sharpish. ‘Falling for You’, the series’ introduction, is still our firm favourite. Following Natalie Armstrong and Gabe Lanigan, a developing relationship keeps you invested while an ever-lurking danger keeps you tense and desperate to know what happens next.

‘Before Today’ introduces a rugged yet lovable male protagonist in Levi Montgomery, set to turn Brooke Johnson’s simple life in Sapphire Bay upside down. Check this out on release date.

It’s no surprise that romance novels that delve into the world of modern dating and online dating are extra intriguing for us – and we’re super excited for this author to take the helm. ‘The Magnolia Chronicles: Adventures in Modern Dating’ is set to be a witty tale of embarrassment and compassion.

Our interest in Canterbary peaked on a very different series however, The Walsh Series. A series that follows a string of masculine rebels and damaged heartthrobs. Full of wild eroticism and headstrong characters, the 8 part series is definitely one to check out. We can’t wait to see Canterbary’s writing style become even more flexible, introducing comedy, satire and a biting account of modern dating.

Albert first came up on our radar with the Out of Uniform series, following the love affairs of men in the military – and boy, do we love a military storyline! Albert’s work really shines through thanks to its focus on character. We spend a great deal of time establishing the relationship between the love interests, we see them bonding and growing together. All of which makes the eroticism all the more captivating. Wheels Up, has to be our favourite which layers on an extra dollop of emotion to the story.

Albert’s latest series ‘Frozen Hearts’ is set to start with ‘Arctic Sun’ – a tale ‘opposites-attract romance between a rugged outdoorsman and a smoking hot former male model’. We’re super excited to check it out and that’s why it’s made our list!

Nandini Bajpai weaves exciting depictions of Indian culture and facets of relationships anyone can relate to in her previous work. From ‘Red Turban White Horse: My Sister’s Hurricane Wedding’; a thoroughly enjoyable page turner to ‘Starcursed’; an exciting novel of history, romance and drama, Nandini’s work has been a favourite for a number of our members.

Nandini latest novel ‘A Match Made in Mehendi’ takes us straight into high school, for what’s set to be a story of embarrassing first loves and the social jungle that is teen life. The story looks to bring in the same themes of tradition and culture present in her other works, which make such enthralling books to read.

Yes! A follow up to ‘One Man Guy’. That’s exactly what we thought when we heard of Michael Barakiva’s latest release ‘Hold My Hand’.

‘One Man Guy’ is a brilliant depiction of adolescent love and discovery centred around two growing young boys. With a tone that’s sweet and endearing, ‘One Man Guy’ is a difficult book to put down. Following the story of Alek and Ethan, very few stories successfully engross you in the characters’ story so well that you feel alongside with them. Whether that be the highs of love or the lows of heartbreak.

After such a powerful debut novel, we have big expectations for ‘Hold My Hand’. We’re so thrilled we get to continue the story of two enchanting characters.

Mary Ann Marlowe first novel ‘Some Kind of Magic’ was a fantastic debut. Biochemist Eden Sinclair meets international rock star Adam Copeland, for a central relationship that’s electric and sexy. Marlowe’s writing style never bores, she keeps you on your toes in this fast, flirty novel.

And it’s for this reason we’re extremely excited for Marlowe’s latest work, ‘Dating by the Book’. No, it’s not an alternative to ‘Dating for Dummies’. ‘Dating by the Book’ introduces us to ‘writer and bookstore owner Maddie Hanson’ as she embarks on a journey of love and romantic celebration. Not settling for one love interest, ‘Dating by the Book’ our protagonist whirlwind dating life meets ‘a smoldering rock musician, the bookish college professor… even a Silver Fox’. If ‘Dating by the Book’ has the same flirty, vivaciousness of  ‘Some Kind of Magic’, then we’re in for a treat.

Leslie Morgan Steiner 2009 hit ‘Crazy Love’ was a raw and authentic memoir of surviving domestic violence. While difficult to read a certain points, its powerful writing style made for an excellent read. This book and her subsequent media appearances have helped inspire confidence, strength and leadership for many women.

We’re so excited for ‘The Naked Truth’ as it details a story many of our members have experienced, the desire to rid themselves of the shackles of the lonely, middle-aged divorcee cliché. With a confident and unashamed attitude, Leslie accounts her search for sexual and romantic satisfaction. We’re hoping for Leslie’s traditional unfiltered writing style that really explores what it’s like to date and find love at a confident, mature woman.

Lauren Morrill has been a firm favourite for many of our members, her comforting writing style makes her work a pleasure to read. A really gem of ‘swoon romance’, Lauren’s novels are a delightful must read.

‘Better Than the Best Plan’ seems set on continuing that tradition. Not the first time Lauren’s tackled the idea of ‘first love’ (check out ‘Being Sloane Jacobs’ which mixes young love with delightful and funny body swap antics), ‘Better Than the Best Plan’ tells the story of Ritzy as she’s taken back to foster care – however are things really as bad as they seem? Definitely one for our list of eagerly anticipated dating books.

Get ready ladies, it’s another set of steamy erotic literature; and for us, Kate Meader is a firm favourite. This may be cheating, but Kate’s on our list twice – for the next two books in the ‘Laws of Attraction’ series (Illegally Yours and Then Came You). We’ve cooked up some romance in the ‘Hot in the Kitchen’ series, we’ve swooned for sexy firemen in the ‘Hot in Chicago’ series. Now get ready for some steamy lawyer action in the ‘Laws of Attraction’ series (Are you pro-bono or just happy to see me?).

With a sharp sexy writing style and a love of dramatic, Kate Meader’s work has always been a firm favourite of ours. The first in the series; ‘Down with Love’, was a fantastic introduction into this world of romance and law. Where the courtroom isn’t the only place for the action. Definitely one to check out.

Get ready ladies, it’s about to get steamy. Evie Claire is back with what’s set to be a hot return to form with ‘Let’s Talk About Sext’. The last work from Evie Claire was all the back in 2016, with the ‘Hollywood Hot Mess’ series – a two book series I really loved and so did many of our members.

‘Hollywood Hot Mess’ did away with romance novel boredom. Yes, the action was definitely a high point but unlike many others in the genre, it wasn’t the only thing on offer. With a twisting and ever increasingly surprising story, the ‘Hollywood Hot Mess’ series was a fantastic debut. We’re so excited Evie is back with a new two part series and we eagerly anticipating was set to be a fantastic read.

David Yoon’s debut novel makes our list of most for the most eagerly anticipated romance and dating literature of 2019. The novel promises a coming-of-age story that tackles ethnicity, love and what it means to understand yourself. Already receiving rave reviews and even being optioned to be a film by Paramount, this debut novel is set to be a explosive introduction on the scene. We can’t wait!

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

Just by reading We Are the Perfect Girl’s synopsis, we’re getting excited for what’s set to be a hilarious and endearing story of friendship and cute boy crushes, and there’s very few authors better to tell the story than Ariel Kaplan. Friends Aphra and Bethany fall for the handsome Greg and embark on an elaborate story of disguise and deceit. ‘What begins as an honest mistake turns into an elaborate deception, wherein Bethany goes on dates with Greg while Aphra coaches her on what to say, and texts him in the guise of Bethany, trying and failing, all the while, to tamp down her own hopeless crush. It’s only a matter of time before things come crashing down. ‘

Kaplin’s previous work is full of sharp wit and heart-filled stories. A strong voice in the young adult fiction genre, this latest work is set to be a fantastic read.

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

‘Sex and the Enneagram’ is the latest work by Ann Gadd and definitely something we have a peak curious interest in reading. For many of our members, understanding our attitudes towards sex and relationships has been something long pondered; how do these attitudes change when we put through the model of ‘the Enneagram’ – a 9 personality type teaching.

Gadd’s previous work has enlightened us on many aspects of our lives, from income to self-confidence. Gadd has previously discussed relationships a number of times and we hoping ‘Sex and the Enneagram’ again brings that sharp insight Gadd is known for. Definitely one to check out if you’re looking to better understand yourself and you relationships.

Alisha Rai’s work has been a firm favourite for many of our members, a her latest work is set to bring her steamy and explosive writing style to a topic we know particularly well – online dating.

If erotic literature is your thing, Alisha Rai has been a powerhouse in the genre for a number of years. With a seductive way of words, deep and engaging characters and a sensual story, Rai is definitely one to check out. We’re super excited for ‘The Right Swipe: A Novel’ which firmly places her work in the modern dating world we live in.

Mary Calmes first came to our attention with the brilliant Marshal series. Following Miro Jones a, you guessed it, US Marshal trying to understand new feelings for his antithesis – Ian Doyle. His evolving love affair goes far from smoothly, not at all helped by his action-filled, dangerous career.

We love when a series follows one couple and the 4 part Marshall series did so with two protagonists you can’t help but fall for. Despite their differences and the explosive aspects of their relationship, you continue to root for a happy ending from book to book.

The new series Torus Intercession (which just sounds so cool!) starts with No Quick Fix which from the opening line of the blurb is set to be an interesting adventure ‘A retired SEAL is about to face his toughest assignment yet. As a nanny…’. We’re looking forward to checking out Mary Calmes new book as it’s set to blend an enveloping romantic relationship against a thrilling, action-packed backdrop.

For us, the Alien Outlaws series is one that took us by surprise. It’s so hard to write erotic fiction and mix it well with sci-fi, but Escape from Ixilta (the first in the Aliens Outlaws series) did exactly that!

The plot follows Andie Munster as she meets the handsome Xandr and embarks on a chaotic, romantic love affair – and did we mention Xandr is a gorgeous purple alien. Sci-fi and erotic fiction are the hardest to mix well, but Rudolph did a fantastic job with this short yet punchy introduction to the series.

Rudolph has a number of similar series (Detyen Warriors series, Mated to the Alien series) that we definitely going to be checking out. But before then, we can’t wait for the next in the Alien Outlaws series – Rogue Alien’s Woman.

Where do we start with Nana Malone? If you’re looking for sharp wit and no holds barred sexy stories, you’ve come to the right woman.

It would take us a while to pick which of Nana Malone seductive novels are our favourite, but for us the one that first drew our attention to her was ‘The Shameless Trilogy’. Get ready ladies, you’re in for a treat here.

The series follows Noah Blake, a masculine, specimen of a man that jumps from the page. With a shrouded past and dark secrets, this is one character that invites curiosity and attraction in equal measure. With some of the best twists and reveals we’ve read, for us this was an explosive introduction to Malone’s work.

Mixing royalty and heart pounding eroticism isn’t new for Malone (you need to check out Royals United and Royals Undercover) and her latest series The Heiress Duet is set to be a return to the steamy topic. Protecting the Heiress is released March, 19. It’s definitely one to pre-order now!

Amazon Button (via NiftyButtons.com)

Sasha’s previous book came to our attention for its pick of setting, the idyllic Cotswolds. Reading A Country Scandal it’s clear to see this wasn’t just a random choice of location, but it fits perfectly with the sweet, honest story. Building a relationship is one thing, but successfully painting a wonderful setting turns a novel from a good read to one that you’re enveloped within.

We follow Tobias Cavendish-Blake as he inherits not only a large stately home, but the responsibility of dealing with its impending money problems. He’s not alone however, as he’s eventually helped by Megan Taylor, a powerfully compassionate woman who you can’t help but also fall in love with.

A Country Rivalry is set to introduce even more drama into the series. We can’t wait to see what happens next to Megan and Tobias, and for that reason it’s made our list.

British Sex Lives Plummet after EU Referendum. Relationships across the UK Affected by Brexit Result (with Big Differences between the Leave and Remain Camps)

A ToyboyWarehouse.com poll of over 1100 couples across the UK has found British sex lives have dried up since the referendum result.

Almost 17% of couples polled claimed to have not had any sex since the result was announced, while 20% said they’ve been having sex ‘less often’.

Only 7% answered they were having sex ‘more often’ than usual.

The poll also asked what they blamed for their sudden lack of bedroom action. Most British couples answered it was due to a ‘general drop in mood’ with ‘anxiety/worry’ coming a close second. A small percentage put the fault down to relationship arguments from supporting different sides.

‘What this shows us is how easily affected our sex lives really are’ claims our resident relationship expert Lucy Jones. ‘Politics is far from a sexy subject. Regardless of how you voted the general British mood is hardly going to get those engines running’.

The poll also found big differences between the Remain, Leave and undecided camps.


Remain Voters

Asked whether they have had more and less sex than usual since the result, a fifth of In voters answered they have had less. While a huge 27% said they have not had sex at all.

Leave Voters

The vast majority of Out voters however claimed to see ‘no change’ in their sex life. A small percentage said it had increased, but not dramatically.

Undecided Voters

Similar changes could be seen by those in the undecided camp. Of those who didn’t align with either Remain or Leave, a massive 20% claimed to have been having sex less often than usual.

Will Brits ever get their sex lives back? Lucy Jones expects so, she claims ‘‘once the dust settles and our national mood improves things will return to normal”.

What’s your take on Brexit? Do you think it’s affect British Love lives?

The 2016 Cougar capital of the UK is… Leeds. A study into the dating preferences of single men and women across 13 major British cities has found the top Cougar and Toyboy hotspots across the UK.

Scroll down to see your city

A survey of over 2,300 average 40+ single women across 13 major UK cities has found that Leeds is the place to visit if you’re looking for a Cougar. The research asked women whether they’d consider dating someone at least 15 years younger than themselves. A massive 88% of those in Leeds said ‘yes’ – the home of British cougars.

 

Across the UK the average number of those who answered ‘yes’ was 56%, proving that over half of British women would consider dating someone at least 15 years younger.

 

The research, conducted by us at ToyboyWarehouse.com, also asked women if they considered themselves a Cougar. 35% said they definitely did, while 19% said while they’d like to date a younger man, the Cougar title might be bit too much.

 

As for the Toyboy capital of the UK, Swansea was on top. The survey asked just under 1,500 single men under the age of 30 ‘Would you date someone 15 years older than yourself?’. A huge 81% of those asked in Swansea said ‘yes’ compared the national average of 60%.

 

However, while 81% of single guys in Swansea said they’d date someone 15 years older than themselves, only 8% claimed they’d call themselves a Toyboy.

 

Unfortunately for Swansea Toyboys, only 35% of women from their city said they’d consider dating a younger man. However, luckily for Leeds Cougars over three quarters of men from Leeds said they’d happily date an older woman.

 

 

The home cities for celebrity UK Cougars didn’t fair so well. London, home for Cougars such as Danniella Westbrook and Fifty Shades director Sam Taylor-Johnson, only had 53% of women saying they’d date a younger man, below the national average.

 

Nottingham was found to be the place with the least number of Cougars, with only a third saying they’d date someone 15 years younger. As for the UK city with the least Toyboys, Belfast with 29%

 

Liverpool and Manchester came 2nd and 3rd, with 67% and 64% of women looking to date younger men.

 

London and Leeds came 2nd and 3rd in most number of Toyboys, with 78% and 76%.

Ruth Saberton: Katy Carter Keeps a Secret

sabertonNominee for the RNA’s Romantic Comedy of the Year Award, glowing reviews from daytime giants Richard and Judy, renowned guest writer for Little Black Dress, Avon, Orion, etc. – it’s not difficult to see why Ruth Saberton’s latest work makes our list. Saberton’s work fits perfectly in the romance genre. Emotion reigns supreme – the characters’ vulnerability, kindness, sadness and joy are central to what makes her novels so great.

One issue our panel sees with many romance writers is that of ‘one-dimensional’ characters. People are either the love interest, the antagonist, the comedic character and nothing more than that. For Saberton, her characters’ personalities extend well past these confines, understanding and relating to them are wildly more easy and enjoyable. Characters develop, not simply due to its necessity in the narrative, they develop intelligently. Your attitudes change so that you’re constantly enthralled. A personal favourite for our panel has been the Escape series and Dead Romantic, the latter mixing supernatural ideas with heartbreaking emotion.

It’s easy for us to say Saberton’s latest novel, Katy Carter Keeps a Secret, makes our list for the Most Eagerly Anticipated Erotic and Romance Fiction of 2016.

Available on 18 June, 2016. Get your copy here.

 

Lily Harlem: One Night in Cape Town

onenightincapetownNumber 23 in the City Nights series, One Night in Cape Town follows Tia, after her fiancé and best friend’s betrayal she escapes to South Africa. Anger doesn’t mask her desire for too long and soon she’s left to the mercy of a wild storm and the sexy and charming Levi’s survival skills.

Harlem’s work is easily commendable for its variety, no matter the story matter, love interests, gender, setting, Harlem keeps a smart and sexy current throughout. One of Harlem’s best work, The Silk Tie, is a favourite for our entire panel. Simply put, it’s hot! Really hot! Harlem seems to be the queen of the menage a trois, with Silk Tie (and it’s predecessor The Glass Knot) being 2 of the smartest, sexiest books our panel have read. Fire warning needed!

‘One Night in Cape Town’ is out 29th June. Available here.

Keep your eye out for cougar sex story, Toy Boy, out soon.

 

Sharon Lynn Fisher: Before She Wakes

beforesheWe’ve seen a lot of authors mix fantasy and science fiction with eroticism, Sharon Lynn Fisher is a standout author in this hybrid genre. Before She Wakes is a series of short stories all embracing these themes and is set to be a fantastic piece of work. Not only is that obvious from Fisher’s past work that our panel loved (Ghost Planet being a particular favourite), early reviews have been glowing.

So many readers have been giving this series of novellas five stars on GoodReads with one reviewer saying ‘Wow. This collection of short stories was definitely a fun read. Every story was just so out there and interesting that at times I couldn’t help but be completely drawn into it.’

Our favourite thing about Fisher is her masterful creation of worlds, it’s easy to become invested in the fantastical settings that she creates. We’re hoping Before She Wakes is just as fantastic.

Purchase Before She Wakes on the 19th July here.

 

Sydney Landon: Aiden

aidenSydney Landon came to the attention of our panel because of the fantastic Weekend Required, part of the Danvers series. The novel follows couple; Claire and Jason. While the presence of a wonderful romance is undeniable, it’s the heartbreaking start of Claire’s story that turns this work from general romance to something you deeply care about. The following novels in the series (Not Planning on You, Fall for Me, etc.), don’t let the romance be extinguished. Subplots and other characters add to the rich and varied story, making these novels down all the more difficult to put down.

It’s the latest in the Lucian and Lia series which makes our list. Similar to the Danvers series, heartbreak from the start guarantees you relate and care deeply for the characters in this romantic series – especially in the second installment; the dramatic, yet at times wonderfully funny, Fractured. We can’t wait for the latest in the series: Aidan.

Aiden is available 31 Jul, 2016. Get your copy here

 

Audrina Lane: Bloodstained Heart

bloodstainedOur list wouldn’t be complete with a few darker tones, who doesn’t love a novel with something sinister? Audrina Lane’s Bloodstained Heart is set to have just that. Abandoned and betrayed, Felicity is hell bent on taking revenge and destroying the lives of those who get in her way. Following an evil and vindictive protagonist, Bloodstained Heart is set to be an enticing novel.

Lane’s work has never been afraid to look at the darker side of romance and love. Her novels mix laughter and melancholy, while keeping you on your toes with so many twists and turns. A good starting place is the fantastic The Heart Trilogy, which looks at themes of memory, love and loss and mother and daughter relationships.

Bloodstained Heart is out 8 July, 2016. Available here.

 

Cecillia Tan: Wild Licks (Secrets of a Rock Star)

wildlickAward winning author Cecillia Tan is back and it’s set to be as steamy as ever! We’re so excited for Wild Licks (Secrets of a Rock Star)!

Rock ‘n’ Roll, fantasy and magic, science fiction – Tan has done it all! While transcending so many genres, she has never neglected to inject romance, eroticism, intelligence and spellbinding enthrallment throughout her work. Daron’s Guitar Chronicles takes you back to the time of sex, drugs and rock & roll in the 80’s. Like most of his generation, Daron is lost and unsure of where his life is leading. A story of struggle, Daron’s Guitar Chronicles paints a world so vivid it’s difficult not to be enthralled.

A magic university, erotic sex and Cecilia Tan’s witty writing – what’s not to love? The Magic University series ask ‘what would Harry Potter be like at a hormonal, sex crazed university?’ Magic and eroticism mix to make this series fun and steamy in equal measure.

It was difficult for our panel to pick out particular stand out works in such a varied and wide ranging collection of novels, however other highlights include the award winning Slow Satisfaction and Slow Surrender, the BDSM driven Telepaths Don’t Need Safewords and the prequel to Tan’s addition to our list.

Wild Licks is out 2nd Aug, 2016. Get your copy here.

 

Laurelin Paige: Last Kiss

lastkissWe’ve got some stern words for Laurelin Paige, release the second in the First and Last series already! After the cliffhanger in First Touch, we’ve been waiting for the the second in the series, Last Kiss, with bated breath.

First Touch was fantastic. Not one for the feint of heart, the novel never pulls any punches. It’s progantist, Emily, is far from a flat stereotype. Her complexity will make you hate and love her at the same time. Paige clearly knows what she’s doing, masterfully written and deliciously charming, the first in the First and Last series combines dark eroticism with intelligent grace.

One’s not enough! With so many of us needing the know what happens next, Last Kiss easily makes it on our list for the Most Eagerly Anticipated Romance and Erotic Fiction of 2016.

Last Kiss is available 14th June. Get your copy here.

 

Fox Emerson: A Boy Called Q & Toby

tobyWe can cheat! Fox Emerson is our first author to get two books on our list. A Boy Called Q and Toby are out 16th and 15th June respectively.  

Why has Emerson made our list? If you haven’t read Monique you are missing out. So many of our panel loved Emerson debut novel that he has to get a mention on this list. Monique follows Kelly-Anne as she struggles through a dark world of drugs, rape, violence and more. Warning, this is a powerful story that is far from light and fun, it is not an easy read yet is full of emotion and at times heart-breaking.

We’re really looking forward to Emerson’s latest work. The plot to A Boy Called Q is quoted as following ‘Q, [a] young man from Yorkshire who moves to London and finally gathers the courage to embark on his first gay, erotic experience with another man’. However for Emerson sensuality and eroticism isn’t all fine and dandy, torn between his gay feelings and his shame Q struggles to overcome what may have been ‘the biggest mistake of his life’.

Toby also makes our list, the novel follows a bisexual sex worker in Barcelona, whose life is  ‘spiraling out of control’. ‘In order to escape, he must win over the power his childhood demons have over him.’ If Toby is as powerful as Monique, we will not be able to recommend it highly enough.

Brenda K. Davies: Good Intentions

goodintentionsIf we were making a list of the top erotic novel front covers Brenda Davies (also writing under Erica Stevens) would take the number one spot. However, it’s not just the covers that have made us eagerly anticipate Davies’ next work.

Davies’ most popular series must her fantastic Vampire Awakening Series, currently spanning over 5 books. I know what you’re thinking; the vampire erotic thing has been done to death! Thankfully the series breaths new life into this subgenre, adding something extra that makes it more enthralling than so many other novels we’ve read. It would be difficult to go into detail without spoiling anything, but be rest assured, the mature use of action and eroticism makes this series something you need to check out.

Our addition to the list is the first in a new set of books, The Road the Hell Series. It’s set to continue the dark themes, supernatural and otherworldly ideas and exciting eroticism from the preceding series.

Good Intentions is out 17 Jul 2016. Get your copy here.

 

 Lainie Suzanne: Wicked

wickedNexus: The Core of Erotic Desires. What a name for a series opening book! The Nexus series is hot! Really hot!

The first in the series, our personal favourite, follows Katherine Stevens. Divorced and lonely she finds her life transformed after a night at Nexus, a local BDSM club. The second in the series, Soleil, follows Debra who ‘is on the verge of experiencing a life she never realized she desired’. The third, Deceit, features our most interesting character yet. Gina struggles to give herself to Leo as her dark past comes back to haunt her.

With erotic BDSM action these books are definitely not for the feint of heart. Suzanne pulls no punches in her depiction of the dramatic, sexual play. All of which seen through the seemingly innocent eyes of her protagonists.

We can’t wait for the next in the series, this time following the sordid Charlotte and Edward. Wicked is out June 28, 2016. Get your copy here.
