ANONYMOUS SEX
Edited by Hillary Jordan and Cheryl Lu-Lien Tan Out now
Now this is how you write erotica. The book features 27 horny tales, all written by different authors who’ve unleashed their wild side under the cover of anonymity. A married woman has a BDSM encounter at a work conference; two boys explore their first stirrings of desire at a sleepover; a bisexual woman cheats on her wife with a baker; and female friends give in to repressed feelings in a shared hotel room. There will be at least one story that will turn you on. Ours? A young widow on a sleeper train shelters a criminal in her carriage… need we say more? Get it ASAP.
UNTIL I MET YOU
by Amber Rose Gill Out now
You might remember nicking one of your mum’s Mills & Boon books as a teenager – we expected sex scenes, but what we got was pure romance. And we’re totally here for this unexpected synergy between ex-Love Islander Amber Rose Gill and iconic romance publisher Mills & Boon. Gill’s debut novel – written in collaboration with author Nadine Gonzalez – is all about finding love unexpectedly, with a slow build-up to sex scenes that made our cheeks burn (FYI, chapters 18 and 19). Here’s how the story goes: a travel blogger goes on holiday to her best friend’s wedding and finds a lover for herself. Read it while sipping on a cocktail.
