It’s that horrible time of year again when we’re forced to make lists and resolutions and other ridiculous proclamations. So what am I going to do? Contribute to the problem and make it even worse! That’s right, I’m going to dare to create a list of the ten hottest new dirty books for 2023.
Don’t get me wrong. I know full well that I’m unqualified for such a task. And I also know how hopelessly absurd it is to limit myself to only ten books. But one of the funny things about life is how we just keep on doing things even though we know they are stupid and ill-advised.
Watch me, watch me, watch me, as I commit a sin against literature! Here’s my crazy-stupid-ridiculous-insane-out-of-control-mad list:
The Kiss Quotient
Helen Hoang
Algorithms, smalgorithms, it’s all Greek to me, but who can’t love a story where sex takes precedence over math!
The Spanish Love Deception
Elena Armas
A sister’s impending wedding, the desperate need for a date, a ticking clock… sounds like the most cliched plot ever, right? Well, it’s actually a pretty damn good story and the sex is surprisingly original too!
Psychedeliah
kite Jenson
This one’s my absolute favorite. If you read one dirty book this decade, do yourself a favor and check out Psychedeliah, but only if you can handle mind-bending originality, lots of crazy sex, and the overcoming of gnarly abusive childhood trauma in a not so beautiful way.
Go Deep
Rilzy Adams
I’m a sucker for friends-to-lovers romances and Go Deep is not just compelling, but captivating. You go, girl.
Seven Days in June
Tia Williams
Two writers discover their second chance at love… who couldn’t possibly eat that up for breakfast? If you think this says something about me, well, urg, you’re absolutely right!


The Arrangement
Robyn Harding
I will fess up freely, I put this one on the list because I have an unending fascination with the sugar daddy thing and Harding explores its dark underbelly with great finesse.
Follow Me Darkly
Helen Hardt
Dating a billionaire, working for a successful social media influencer, what could possibly go wrong here? Uh, gee, nothing, right?
The Club
A.L. Brooks
With a diverse sampling of women from all backgrounds and persuasions, this is lesbian erotica at its finest. Who wants some no-strings excitement? I do, I do!
A Court of Thorns and Roses
Sarah J. Mass
Have you ever heard of a tale of innocent girl meets awful beast, but awful beast is awful sexy too?
The Idea of You
Robinne Lee
OMG, this is how I fantasize that my future will be–a mid life crisis that involves tantalizing trysts in Paris with a hunk half my age. Aging doesn’t seem so bad now, does it?
So there you have it. Ten super-hot dirty books for the new year. Now get out there and devour them!
