Lost in his Eyes by Ginger Simpson
Despite dabbling in other genres, Simpson has always returned to the historical novel, and we’re grateful for it. Lost in His Eyes takes place in 1894 where everyday life isn’t all roses and smiles. Set in drought stricken Oklahoma, the battling natural forces that beset our love-stricken couple make for an enduring tale.
Where for some novelists the history genre may slow down the pace of their work, Simpson keeps the reader gripped with mystery and intrigue, all combined with a romance story that’s enjoyable and frustrating in equal parts. We follow Harlee Wagner, after an accident at the well she comes to find two things have changed. First, she’s now in the arms of a handsome hero. Second, her entire family is gone.

Sin Eater (Complete First Season): Dark Urban Fantasy Serial by Jessica West and P.K. Tyler
The ‘Sin Eater’ series has spanned a gruesome and trilling 7 books. The complete series, released in one edition, makes our list for the Most Eagerly Anticipated Erotic and Romance Novels of 2016.
The series follows Nikolai Grekh, the last Sin Eater. In a world consumed by evil demons, Nik must suffer through an endless war against sin. The sexiness varies across the series, with it being most prominent near the beginning. That’s not to its disadvantage however, the explosive characters never leave you feeling dull and bored, it’s very much the opposite!
In the first in the series we’re introduced to Nik’s world, the next 6 episode grip us with heart-wrenching surprises and excruciating cliff-hangers. It’s difficult to take a single episode into consideration, the story and building energy requires this series to be read in its entirety from the beginning. For this reason we’re including the soon-to-be-released series in our ultimate list.

A striding force in gay male romance Charity Parkerson’s ‘Hard Hit’ series pits two men who against all odds experience passion and love.

Kinky Sexy Dirty (Kinky Bastard Duet Book 1) by Christine Reiss
USA Today bestseller Christine Reiss or should we say C.D. Reiss. For readers looking to delve into Reiss’ work, the difference between the former and the latter is a kind indication to how dark the novel will be. If it’s written by C.D. Reiss (for example ‘The Submission Series’) it’s a lot darker than Christine’s work.
It may seem like that’s not an important point, but it is vital we understand. Reiss’ work, especially in the submission series, can be extremely dark. This equates to a gripping sexual thrill, be warned however, take a deep breath before delving in. Kinky Sexy Dirty, the first in the ‘Kinky Bastard’ series is lighter. It’s aim is to be sexy but not severe, the nail-biting is replaced with kink and fun. An interesting turn for Reiss, this is why Kinky Sexy Dirty is added to the list of Most Eagerly Anticipated Erotic and Romance Novels of 2016.

Set in the wild Scottish highlands among fearsome rippling warriors, protagonist Andrew Lochlannach is banished to the hinterlands. He’s unphased however, instead his eyes are set on the alluring Susana.

Submissive Seductions by Christine D’Abo
With over 30 publications to her name, Submissive Seductions is set to another sexy, kinky romp that develops into a genuine romantic story. The novel follows Liz, after purchasing a Dom from a charity auction she manages to live out her secret fantasy – to be submissive.
For D’Abo however, a thrilling sex-filled romance isn’t enough, similar to her other work Liz’s feelings transcend the sexual and become something more serious. D’Abo has previously been able to mix heart-wrenching emotion with fun, gripping sexual action – a task that is difficult to pull off. ‘30 Days’, one of D’Abo past novels, is a good example of this. As she wonderfully encapsulates the book is ‘saucy, heartwarming, and insightful, [it] explores the agony—and the ecstasy—of starting over, and how a little encouragement, and a little courage, can go a long way’.
