Having a hair-raising, heart-racing, and cheeks-flushing book by your bedside keeps things exhilarating in the fantasy department.
If you and your beau are looking to spice things up in the nerdiest ways, we have some eight steamy reads guaranteed to keep your interest piqued and love burning.
From tales of passion that’ll leave you weak in the knees to stories of desire that leave you completely breathless, here are ECT handpicked erotic literature by Black authors.
PSA: The books on this list contain sexual content, but the explicitness, kinkiness, and quantities vary (hey, one person’s three-alarm fire is another’s PG-rated romcom), but the genres we picked span comedy, fantasy, and other exciting pairings. In short, there’s a book here for just about any reader.
The Princess Trap By Talia Hibbert $12.62 – Amazon
If you haven’t read anything by Talia Hibbert – what have you been doing with your life? This is a Bridgerton-like novel with fake engagements, sidesplitting banter that brings tears to your eyes, wicked royals, sexual tension like no other, and a fed-up office worker trapped in the midst of it all…
It’s one of the best steamy rom-coms we’ve read in a minute. Highly recommend!
Other steamy and spicy Talia Hibbert books include The Roommate Risk, The Fake Boyfriend Fiasco, and Take A Hint, Dani Brown.
Tempted By Danger By Endiya Carter – Kindle
#BookTok enthusiasts assert that this novel had them crossing their legs – and though we typically approach anything TikTok-related with skepticism, we can unequivocally vouch for this.
Rule #1? No fraternizing. That was the only rule you had to follow to stay employed at Danger Inc.
And for four years, Dymon Danger didn’t have to worry about breaking that rule until the day Quinci Everly (his hot new assistant walked into his office).
Despite Danger’s attempts to make her quit, he soon realizes that neither Quinci nor his intrusive thoughts are going anywhere anytime soon.
Follow the book up with the second danger series, Captivated By Danger, and you’ll be in for a ride this spring.
Only For The Week By Natasha Bishop – Kindle
You’re cordially invited to the wedding of Arnold Hightower and Amerie Cross.
And now? A toast from the maid of honor, Ms. Janelle Cross!
Hi everyone, thanks for being here. Some of you might know me as the sister of the bride, some as the groom’s ex-girlfriend. But I’m willing to bet no one knows me as the woman secretly sleeping with the best man.
I know. I’m as flabbergasted as you. It was supposed to be only for the week, but every kiss, adventure, and stolen moment with Rome Martin unfolds a sense of timelessness like it could stretch on indefinitely.
Oh well…what happens in Tulum stays in Tulum.
If that doesn’t pique your interest, I don’t know which Black-authored romance book will.
The Seven Month Itch By Tanvier Peart, $17.29 – Amazon

Addicted ‘A Novel’ By Zane, $23.49 – Amazon
Forget Fifty Shades Of Grey. If you’re looking for erotic literature that features a Black woman lead, and that’ll get your toes curling and hair erect, get yourself a copy of this novel.
From the Queen of Erotica, Zane tells the provocative story of Zoe Reynard, a thriving businesswoman with a seemingly charmed life most would envy – a devoted husband, a flourishing career, and three adorable kids.
However, beneath the surface lies Zoe’s insatiable appetite for sex. This intricately woven tale will captivate you, keep you flying through the pages, and make you crave more.

Let’s set the record straight – Tanon has a way of mixing romance and suspense that never fails, and in this erotic book, the heat is getting hotter.

Abel Ronalds is not your run-of-the-mill successful guy. He’s one with a dark past and even darker kinks. After meeting Dillion, it was evident she was missing a piece of the puzzle to his best fantasy, but would she take him up on his offer?

Demon’s Dream By Elle Kayson, $26.99 – Amazon
Talk about a steamy romance book that’ll have you running to the confession box. Clawing his way from the depths of hell to haunt the nightmares and steal the lives of many, she earned the name ‘Demon.’ Hardened by a life that no one should ever live, Demon had rules that governed her existence. No caring. No intimacy. No love. Until he saw her…
Dream Castle. Beautiful. Bold, Brave. And for 30 days, she was his. He’d follow his rules, have her body, ignore her heart. Then, she looked at him…like she knew him. Like she saw him. Like she loved him. And he knew…30 days weren’t nearly enough.
Product Of The Streets By E. Bowser, $17.99 – Amazon
Smutty romance books allow us to vicariously live through characters who happen to have waaay more interesting lives than we do. This one, by the smut peddler E. Bowser, has single-handedly proven why some of us love fictional men better than real-life men.
Oh, btw, there’s Book 1 & 2, meaning your spring is going to be lit as f**k! Just don’t forget to keep a bottle of water nearby because you’ll need it!
