Erotic Authors You Might Not Know ...YET

Today I wanted to introduce some erotic romance authors you might not be familiar with. Many of them are on my list of those I have to watch for new books. I'm always looking for someone new to read since the books just don't come out fast enough to suit me. Sound familiar? 

The Dom Tests Her Serenity (MFM) Unchained Love 6
 
The Dom Tests Her Serenity (MFM)
 
Erotic Consensual BDSM Paranormal Ménage a Trois Romance, M/F/M, shape-shifters, sex in shifted form, spanking, paddling, whipping, food play, sex toys, HEA]
Serena Griffin had a very public breakup with Pete Jackson and Josh Taylor over a misunderstanding. When Pete and Josh explain themselves to Serena, she agrees to give them another try and spends the night with them. Serena has the best night of her life—until she realizes they never once said they loved her or wanted to mate her.
Sure she’s given her heart away to two panthers who are only looking for something casual, Serena panics and finds a place to hide until everything blows over. But she might have more reason to hide when she sees a man lurking near her work and realizes the rogue panthers are back.
Pete and Josh are in trouble with their Alpha for pushing Serena away. How can they get him on their side again to help them win Serena back and show her they want her bound to them forever, not just in the dungeon?   http://www.bookstrand.com/cara-adams

The Men of Treasure Cove 3
 

The Sheriff
 
[Ménage and More: Erotic Cowboy Ménage a Trois Romance, M/M/F, with M/M, light consensual BDSM, spanking, caning, sex toys, HEA]
As the sheriff of Treasure Cove, Braxton Connelly has lived his life by the book. Harboring a deep secret, he ignores his heart’s desire and puts on a brave face for friends and family. Only behind closed doors, hidden rooms, and towns miles away does he give in to what he wants most.
Charlotte Ann Brooks is on the run. Hiding out in Celestial, Montana, she spends her days pecking away on computers, preferring the solitude to her loud waitressing job at the Rainbow Room. Her only saving grace is her roommate and confidant, Jordan.
Jordan Whitmore has built his little IT business from scratch. Putting everything he had into his business, he is finally comfortable and making money. That is until his roommate’s past comes barging in.
When the three worlds collide, chaos ensues. Tempers rise and all hell breaks loose in Treasure Cove. They must work together to fix the past, right the present, and save their futures.

Learning to Forgive (MF) The Sinclair Men
 
Learning to Forgive (MF)
 
There is no boundary when it comes to love and lust.

David Sinclair has been in love with Molly ever since she walked into his life. The problem is, the Sinclair line is destined to only love one woman. At least, that is what he believes. When he gets Molly pregnant through one night of passion, he does the right thing and marries her.
After twenty-five years of being in his dead wife’s shadow, Molly demands a divorce. When David refuses, she has no other choice than try to make it work. She is in love with him and wants nothing more than for him to whisper those same words.
Can David rectify the sins of his past? Will he be able to move on and accept that Molly is the woman he loves? Or will her fail and finally know what loss truly means?

Need Some Help

I'm looking for some answers from you guys out there. What are your favorite types of erotic books? I know male/male are among the top, but if you're not reading male/male, what comes next? What turns you on and holds your attention?

I'm finding that my tastes in books isn't one of the more popular ones. Where I like edgy, gut-wrenching types of stories, some aren't into that. I love happy endings, but I tend to like for my characters to fight to get to them. What are your views?

Between cowboys and soldiers, which wins?

Between cat shifters and wolf shifters, which wins?

Between vampires and shifters, which wins?

Do you like to start right up with the sex scenes or build up to them?

Tell me how you feel about the books you read? What would you like to see more of? I know there are a lot of us authors out there who want to make you happy!

 
I know this makes me happy! What about you?  I'm waiting to find out...
