Hey all, I’m on the hunt. I’m looking for books – not for me, but for my wife. She’s no longer as into video porn as she has been, so I want to help find things that will do it for her.
I’m looking for literature – (probably) not lit-erotica, not fanfic. definitely not 50 shades of anything. Essentially, good writing that will also get the juices flowing.
Traditionally, she’s only read non-fiction – not that she’s too good for fiction, but she just hasn’t been interested in it. Recently, however, she’s read a couple of books that really clicked with her. One of them was the book “Brooklyn”. While reading that, she came across scene involving a couple having sex in the water. I think she got off a dozen times to that.
I’m happy to take suggestions, or provide more info on preferences, if needed.

I’m not sure if it will be in her tastes but some of Nora Roberts are amazing in my opinion but she writes A LOT and not all her books are equal in style. The ones I love (older) have murder mystery and great sexual tension. One of my favorites is Public Secrets. Many of the good ones of hers that are good are similar in title – oxymorons like Divine Evil but I can’t remember how much I like them. Ruver’s End is another by her that comes to mind. I don’t find them corny like a lot of the Harlequin or whatever. They have real plots.
Two others I came across randomly but left a permanent mark in my mind that I often think of and want to reread are more period pieces:
