Regina has a secret. She’s lusting over her hottie assistant, the guy she hired straight out of college, the guy who now golfs with her clients and takes the marketing staff out for beers. Meanwhile, she…well, she’s afraid she’s become extraneous in the very company she founded. Her problem isn’t jealousy. Oh no, it’s lust. She can’t keep her mind on a single work-related thing when Gabriel is in sight. She just wants to lick him all over…hardly appropriate to mention in a meeting with the client.
I’m curious about the current success of erotica in the publishing industry. All sources report now that erotica is the genre to publish in, and the industry still largely views erotica as a sub-genre of romance. Many publishers who focus on erotica require a romantic element, if not primary plot. In other words, the erotica may be there, but the romance must be. But what does that mean, exactly? What if romance is different things to different people? Can erotica with nipple clamps and an intimidating peg be as romantic as flowers, a rugged alpha, and HEA? The climb in sales of erotica could suggest so, but what do you think?
