Virgin River by Robyn Carr

Amazon* ~ Apple ~ Barnes & Noble ~ More Stores

Virgin River is a romance on the lightly steamy side, and a little different than my other recs so far. There’s no kink, no polyamory – nothing really non-mainstream about it. What it has are fantastic characters that are really good together, both in bed and in the rest of their lives. Carr brings an interesting angle to a romance series here. It’s small-town romance, and the town is populated with people from all ages and walks of life who are living real lives. They’ve got real issues they’re struggling with, including our main characters. Both of them have a difficult past they’re dealing with (she’s a widow and he has a difficult military past), and the book doesn’t gloss over it. It has a bit of a feel of Women’s Fiction with a really hot romance, but oh, boy – that finish packs a great swooney punch.

A Princess in Theory by Alyssa Cole

Amazon* ~ Apple ~ Barnes & Noble ~ More Stores ~ Kobo

A very steamy, very fun romance about a woman who just wants to get left alone by her boss and fellow students so she can get her graduate degree and pursue her career as a scientist, and a Prince who is caught between doing what’s right for his people and right for himself. It was a fun and interesting world Cole has built here, a little reminiscent of Wakanda from the film Black Panther. I really enjoyed reading about it. And also, Thabiso is hot as hell. I enjoyed their scenes together. 😉

How to Build a Sex Room

I came across this while browsing Netflix and instantly knew I had to watch it. I was not disappointed. Our designer, Melanie Rose, designs the most sumptuous, luxurious and provocative rooms meant for sex and pleasure. They are gorgeous, kinky, sometimes polyamorous or queer, and always tailored for the clients themselves. That’s the part I love. The clients come to her with their own wants and desires, and sometimes their own issues. They have things they love, and things they don’t want at all. Melanie helps them explore what they want, and maybe even what they didn’t even know they wanted, and she gives them a room perfectly suited for them. And we get to see the whole thing from start to finish – if you’re at all interested in the design or house flipping shows on HGTV you’ll love this. It’s like a mashup of Divine Design (anyone remember that show from back in the day? I loved it!) and a sex therapy session, with a dash of cheeky British humor thrown in. It’s utterly delightful.

Steamy Recs June 2022

Hi Wild Ones! Oh, boy, I’ve got some fun ones for you.

Blowback by Lyn Gala

Amazon* ~ Apple ~ More Stores ~ Kobo*

Another fantastic space adventure story, this one with some delicious D/s elements. Actually, more than D/s – this one dives straight into ownership and slavery. It’s FemDom and the woman is an alien, if that takes some of the sting out of it for you, but it’s the real deal. I love books like this, where the ownership is total, and yet facilitates good things for the characters involved. I don’t want to say too much, so I’ll just say that the situation is difficult, and yet gives the best possible outcome for our main character. It was a fun read.

Hate F*@k (Forbidden Bodyguards Book 1) by Ainsley Booth

Amazon* ~ Apple ~ More Stores ~ Kobo

An ex-navy seal Alpha who’s not really a good guy (except when he is) and bordering on demanding-as-fuck meets a good girl who’s just trying to stay out of trouble – that’s the setup. It may not be the most original in the book, but it’s hot as hell anyway. It’s not exactly a kinky book but Cole is quite the dominant personality and there’s a bit of take-charge attitued at a few places. I ate it up.

Book of Love

Amazon*

I absolutely loved this movie. It’s got a writer who writes a book about love that’s so boring it barely sells a copy to anyone – until it comes up as a bestseller in Mexico. He’s required to go on a promotional tour through the country and gets stuck with a guide that’s the exact opposite of him. Classic Odd Couple trope. It’s funny, heartwarming, and totally killer at places. If you’re looking for a good RomCom, this is it.

The Story of O

And if you’re looking for a hardcore dive into a sadomasochistic relationship with deep ownership themes the 1975 version of this movie is it. (On Netflix) There’s a reason the novel is a classic in the BDSM community: it hits hard on the desires many kinky people have. Countless kinksters have read it and ached with need afterwards. The movie is of course based on the novel, but I like it better than the book. I read the book ages ago. It was probably the first kinky novel I ever read. I was totally enthralled with it, while also being very disappointed and disturbed with the ending. In my opinion, the movie keeps everything provocative and interesting about the novel while fixing the ending. The entire story is stronger and far more satisfying for it. It’s quite an erotic film, without being straight porn, and it has a wonderful softness to it at places that the book doesn’t have. Fully recommended for the kinkster looking for a good movie.

Hi Wild Ones! This was a fun month, with some excellent discoveries. I wound up watching a lot this month, due to being down with a cold for a few days.

Assassins in Love by Kris DeLake

Amazon* ~ Apple ~ More Stores ~ Kobo*

This was such a fun space adventure story. It was steamy, and went in unexpected directions. I loved the ways the characters grew, both together and as individuals. I enjoyed the science fiction angle, and would love to read more about them. There’s a second book in the series I have my eye on, as well as some short stories.

Missing Ink by E.J. Frost

Amazon*

I absolutely loved the way Frost depicted the D/s relationship in this story. Mac is a wonderful Dom: older and experienced, gentle, and tough when he needs to be. He’s so loving and gentle with Brenna through much of the book and I loved that. It’s also hot as hell when they scene. So much love for a good silver fox character! 😉 Fantastically yummy book, and another series I’m eying.

Heartstopper

On Netflix. This is a coming-of-age teen drama so it’s actually not steamy at all. Instead it’s achingly sweet, in the “everything’s perfect” kind of way. If you’re looking for a hit of happy queer feels, with just a bit of angst along the way, this is your show. It’s got two boys finding each other and choosing love, along with some other interesting characters finding love also along the way (not going to say more so I don’t spoil). The only thing is that I hope there’s a second season because some side characters really need more screen time!

365 Days: This Day

On Netflix. I saw 365 Days a while ago and this one popped up so I decided to watch it while laid up. It’s gorgeously filmed, incredibly erotic, and great fun to watch. I just swoon at their kisses! It’s basically just wall-to-wall sex, with some fun shopping and bestie time with the main character’s best friend. There is a fun BDSM scene, but it’s not really a kinky film. If you haven’t seen the first one, he kidnaps her and gives her 365 days to fall in love with him. If she doesn’t fall for him, he’ll let her go. It’s pure Alpha Male fantasy. If you like that kind of thing you’ll love these. There is actually a plot, but it takes a major backseat to the sex. There was a lot more plot in the first movie. I was expecting more in this one, but I’m not sure I really missed it 😉 The plot is there, and it’s kinda interesting, but it’s basically hot and sexy guys for the win. If the Alpha Male Won’t Take No For An Answer story isn’t for you, you won’t like these movies. If you do, then sit back with a glass of wine and your B.O.B. and enjoy.

Free Book Recs!

Here are some books by other authors that I’ve enjoyed and thought you’d like, too. They were free at the time I added them to this list, but I don’t control the prices so look before you buy. And drop a comment on this post if you come across any others! I’m always interested in a new kinky or consensual non-monogamous book, and I know my readers are, too.

Enjoy!

These books used to be free but last I checked they aren’t. I’m leaving them up here because I loved them and they’re worth buying. And I hope they become free again in the future.
