I'd have to recommend Sylvia Day's Pleasures of the Night!

The Anthology from Spice called What happens in Vegas by Jodi Lynn Copeland et al, worked for me a couple times lol!! Kind of one of those " I know your tired but....." LOL!

OH -  not the sub-genre "inspirational" which means religious/Christian, then. OK. Never mind, then, I'll have to rethink my answer. hmmmm

"Inspirational" is definitely a confusing term in this context... my husband and I call them them "booty call books." ;-)  But I confess, I don't have anything special to recommend, because I'm really easy. <blush>

Oh I know -- if you like some suspense with your smut, Shannon McKenna is very good.

well if you wanna get in the mood 'quick' ellora's cave has 'white hot holidays' anthologies with short stores aka 'get to the nookie quick'..

rhyannon byrd's 'against the wall' is about 200 pages of nonstop f*ckathon with some oral stuff you may want your hubby to brush up on!

for longer reads with a story with them my faves (so far!) are Jory Strong's Crime Tells, esp Calista's Men, Lora Leigh's Forbidden Pleasure, Lisa Marie rice's Midnight Man(series is pretty good but read in order since ongoing storyline going on) and her  Dangerous Lover was good(like most of her stuff)...Lacey Alexander is good (what Iv'e read so far but does has f/f and some m/m here and there), The Courage to Love-samantha kane, and my newest favorite author - Sarah McCarty's Promises series(linger, keep, prevail, reveal) there are TONS of others though! I just haven't made my way through porn TBR

well pretty much all the good stuff is WL..that's what the GAMES forum and half.cm and used on amazon or for or the ebooks! I wasn't overly thrilled with that book because I wanted a story with it..there were literally no breaks and 200 pages of 'that' all in a row including fingerfu**ing in a bookstore with someone catching them was really uncomfortable...I prefer either one of the anthologies iwth the 'quickies' or something with a story with it thoug I kept against the wall in hopes that if and when I find a man I can show him few of those pages hee hee!

ETA: you can sometimes find emma holly in the system...I have one of hers I started but haven't gottne through yet..female dominatrix! think that's one of the first of those I've tried reading! I like alpha guys though but think she meets up with one of those and they c lash because he wants to do it without her trying to kill him or something! have to get back to that one and see if it'll be one to re-read..I have some erotic romance that's on the definite keeper list - lisa marie rice, jory strong's crime tells, leigh's forbidden pleasure, lisa's gift by mackenzie mackade, lena matthews' joker's wild series, charlene tegila's wild wild west and satisfaction guaranteed, Sarah Mccarty's promises series, and the 3 white hot holidays anthologies from ellora's cave...some were good but might let go someday and some I haven't gotten to but I'm not sure how I'll feel about them and goodness knows how many more I haven't even added to teh tbr yet LOL!
